The combination of persons and namos subscribed to tho petition . presented by Colonel ShaufthnoBsy to i.i congress, in connection with tho j' Woman's Industrial homo building, re- ii minds one of Barnum's happy family. It ji is heterogonneous in detail ond homoge- I neous in general. It combines individ- jt uals as diverse in opinion nnd character ? ns oppositos cun possibly be, and yet so united by the adhosivo attraction if of private gain as to present )f to the public gaze, "oneness" as remark - ' able as that of the state church. John I Randolph's characterization of a political ; i junto in llis day, as a coalition of the j , "blackleg with the puritan," convoys , j ecne idea of the diverse material of the j Salt Lako medley, leaving out of sight j its offons've character. Tho men whoeo ! names are appended to tho industrial home manifesto, are neither blacklegB -.t- nor strict puritans. They nro business f men of good repute, but Thk Timks be- f lieves that they have mado a great ini3- j . take, which, on sober second thought, j they will bit'erly regret. |
