The, casual reader will cc, in such a proceeding nothing but an idle exhibition of fanaticism by ttset of morbid enthusiasts, enthu-siasts, unusually developed by tho forcing processes of demagogism around them.

It is needless to add that such an, attempt would inevitably bring this Union to a summary dissolution. dissolu-tion.
