and It is a high tribute to Col. DUPONT,
that he has never attempted It. The
Republicans have stood for principles,
and have not considered the question
OF ownership. We have virtual
avowal OF Addicks ownership of the
factionist party; It is well. Hereafter
there is ample excuse for saying that
his supporters do not own themselves,
or that they are unable to form the
simplest judgment.-Milford News and

The voters of the state are at loss to
understand the present position of the
Democratic papers Of this state. Until
recently they have always upheld the
Republican organization. known as the
Regulars. and have been constant in
their criticism of the Union Republican
