materially reducing their phenominal
maiorities of two years ago. The country

next National House of Representatives

come down the tree gracefully. We met
the enemy and we are theirs. To J..
Edward Addicks rightfully belongs the

Diamond Stute to crafty his SENSATIONAL
ambition and he laid his plans shrewdiy
and carefully, with abounding faith IN
the result.-Ssaford Ne'rs.
