means By which the latter object can be go
cured, to consent to the adoption Of the gag
law.

New York, Indiana, Connecticut and New
Jersey, will De requisite to elect demo
cratic President In 92 Another thing. No
matter what baeis of representation be
adopted, there will be q loss to democratic

cratic congressman here TO day, says the
