You Cannot be too Careful in wording the Call Make it Short and broad give it as little of a partizen Character as possible So that the Real War Democrats will have no trouble?

I am perfectly satisfied that Mr Lincoln <hr /> and Chase are both fairly in the field of this there is no doubt. The Blairs have been running Mr Lincoln but for Some cause are hauling off.
