THE DlsPATCH.-Our people have long

A southern contemporary thinks we have

our contemporary is premature, and that it
would be dangerous for such notion to get

with delight the day when polltlco.economic
questions should swallow up the issues that
ought to be dead. When this shall occur We
will indeed have entered upon sn

contamination cannot be until the
