' A Democratic Executive could look after the liberty of Martin Kosta in a foreign sea, and Congress vote thanks to the brave sea Captain who prevented a foreign power from interfering with his liberty. 1 do notconderuQ them for it, but commend them. It was right. Dut I men tion this to show that while life and Iii crly were taken, before the very ves of the nation, in our own household, by the lave power, not a single motion was ever mjde by either a Democratic Executive or a Democratic Congress of Court, to- punish the guilty or protect the innocent. . That great party had wandered away from the purposes of the Constitution t tbe United States so cJoqiieutly Mated in the preamble, aud bad become the willing and cringing servant of the propagandists of slavery. In obedience to the demaud of-tbe lave power aud in defiance of the protest of the people, that party tore down the barriers our fathers had erected around aonie territories, protecting them' from this blighting curse, ami iutending them as a rich inheritance to.- their children, requiring aud demandiog that in that sacred soil they should follow the doctrine of the good book, and eat their bread by tbe j aweat of their, own and . not atiotbcrV brow. . Our God-fearing and freedom-loving fathers dedicated all their territory to free dom and free labor, but modern and cor rupted Democracy, with wicked hands, tore in tatters this will and testament ot our . uoblo , and patriotic aoecitry, und handed tbe precious legacy over to slavery and slave labor. ' Tbe wise teachings ot -Jefferson were abandoned for the false dogmas of Calhoun, and the sound max ims of Franklin were laid aside and the stilly notions of men who were only serv ing slavery were adopted in their stead. These things, with many others that I fiave not time here to name, began to weaken; the confidence of the. people in tbe Democratio party, aud it began to be iifhealt for them to keep the conscience ot u; uiuuu sun. oiaio mier oiaio m ine Jvorth had gone over to tbe llepublican party, and, to 18G0, eight years ago, the lnoignauon oi tne people hurled them from power, and, as I believe, never agaiu to b restored. If be Democratic party ever was of any service to the country (a tact that is not free from doubt) tho day of its uciulne!s has puscd, and like so mo of our gient rhin, it baa lived too long already fur it own good name. It ought to die. I know of no service it could render the chantry that would be so valuable. It morals long since corrupted and its man ners hopeleasly contaminated by contact with slavery and slaveholders, the open apologist and defender of all the vices of the dat. frith, the blood of. half million ol brave men on its garments, and responsible for the great debt now burdeuing the trat to d; that party, bent with age and bow. eJ dowb with tin tnd ioiuity, stand up

As 1 have shown, the South made their de mands on tbe Democratic party, and they were wet wiftingly. That party sold their honor and their principles lor tbe elec - toral vol) of tue slave . fetales- and when,

would assist tue couth in thwarting the! will of the nation by putting freedom to he sword. Dut here again, aa often before, the leaders -of; the . party had not properly estimated the patriotism of the people. When the jiuns of the rebel were opened on the Sag of the nation, of all parties, startled and amazed at men the audacity of the luve power, with arms in their hands ruhed to tbe conflict and left the leaders of the Democratic power standing alone and powerless. When disaster belel our arms they took advantage of the doubtful and timid of their party and told thetu we never could defeat the South, and when the great and good Lincoln proclaimed the freedom of the slave tbey then with more boldness still i rvl at; neu led to the tuas.4 of Democrats that .l Die this was an Abolition war a war not for preservation of the Union but for the hecdom ot the slave, and with a tie o dish in'Cnui(y stirred up in the hearts of many nrlorit and patriotio man all his old prejudices &nd '''en 'e' n'rn an" w'(h horrid oaths initiated him into their secret lodges to plan lt,r ?le destruction of our armie and to renu'er substantial aid to ihn rphpl nml a our 'ist of killed and Wüjnded iiicreased, and as pur public debt "rew larger, they be"atJie ncore rftP J , i, ;,, ,1.,.:. trp,nn .d while open St.' i do- . 7 V j the fearful fc'rug, c was the hottest a:nu when the hearts "I ma y were filled with (;h same party KTiuus aj'pi cnenpiOk met in national convention in with the traitorous purpose of p.arai, " r tbe arm of the Union soldier and hoiding .' upand Mrengtheningthe rebel authority, they then resolved that tht ich'Je tear Ka$ a failure '1 he Southern Confederacy had made its appeal to the nat;oi s of the earth lor recognition, but the mighty armies of the Union and tho patriotism and power of the nation astonished the monarchies of Europe, and made them fearful to give us ffen;-e, and the claim of the bogus rebel Government was everywhere rejected and refused. The only friend Jeff. Davis' Government had anywhere, was the Dem ocratic party in Iho 2vorth, led by the Urightsand 1 endlctous, the Vallandig haats and Seymour!-; andMo come a little nearer hon.c, by Bowles, Milligan and men of that ilk. The failure to leceive foreign support and recognition would have demoralized and led to the early dis solution of the Southern Confederacy but for the support of the Democrats ot tbe North. Had tley been true to the coun try at the Got, if the rebellion had ever begun it would not have lusted a' year, and the email debt that the Government u!J have incurred would now be dis charged, und our peiinion roll would have Leen too small and Insigniucant to men tion l', aud the huutlreds ol thousands of (huusmids of strong tie n now sleeping the eltrep of dt'Hth neatli the hod of a bunired battlefields, wuu'd hive been to-day a t aa mingling Uli us in the busy pursuits ot life, and been the joy and comfort of now weeping and disconsolate widows and pa rents. All the blood, therefore, that has been f pilled, und all the treuuie that has been expended in maintaining the national au thority, and the tl iods ot tears and indescribable cloud of anguish and soirow falling upon the whole people, is all propperly churgeable to the Democratic party. 1 hey know it and feel, and With a fran tic despair of ever being ablo to explain or cover up their mUdceds, they implore us to let bygone's be bygones, and try to divert tho people with new issue?, that the mantle ot ioretful ness may be thrown over their pat treachery. ., I said, my fcllow-eitizcns, that great events had transpired since lat we met. Ouo of those great events I have alluded to is the complete overthrow of the Dem ocratic parly, and I do think thesigns of the times clearly indicate that it has fall eii like Lucifer, never to rite again. As a con?equeiico to tho overthrow of this powerful and corrupt organization, another greut event was the destruction of its ally and master,' the enemy of freedom, the great obstacle in tho way of the nation's progress, the corrupter of the nations morals and manner?, the hot bed out of which sprung into life and power the rank weedt of treason and rebellion. Yes, thank (iu J. flavery is dead; und whilo the timo was when tho mighty men of the Democratic patty were its willing and ready defenders and champions of this iniquity, yet now, as we cant ' a backward glance ot the pitiable condition of tho nation when controlled by these monsters, and when wo remember that it was constantly keeping tho nation in terror by its threat to dUsolve the Union, and when we now ee as wo miht then : have seen, that it was xhc sumo foe' to religion and education, and was in itself constantly tort uniting and debauching tho publio moral, there is none- now, of the moat radical of Democrats, bold enough to stand up in its defense, ' ICvcn Dati.

III UtOllUJ IUj WHO UIUU9ICI Illli On the slavery question my record is clear, and I am proud of it. . But tbe overthrow of the Democratic party was necessary to the accomplishment of this result. Even tbe remnant of that tn ft AfilpAVin fw I K i a a n 1 party stood by as. mourners over the dead 1 body, and for a long time refused . to body, and comforted be courage to attack Democracy and slavery when in the hight of their power, and bring them before that highest tribunal the people of the country-for trial. If tbey failed to convict the first time, the iucreasiog crimes of the culprits only subjected tbeui to new iodictments and trials. j in 1860, by an overwhelming vote, they were louod guilty, and then came into power this young llepublican party, which, to-day, is proud of its achievements and its glorious accomplishments, rejoicing in the fact that it has never bad a traitor on its master roll; that to be a Republican is to be a patriot, a lover of freedom and a hater of all froras of oppression, pointing with pride to tbe freedom of four millions of human beings that Democracy would ever have held in slavery, and exhibiting with none the less joy, as one of the trophies of llepublican victory, tbe fact that in all tbe States where slavery prevailed we have uotnaodcled the press and tbe pulpit; we Lave opened again the blessed Bible, and white we have guaranteed and made sure tbe freedom of black men, we al.o liberated the white man and enforced tbe Constitution of the United States in all those regions of cruelty where its power had been destroyed under Democratic rule. As a conseque ace, there is a- marked and rapid progress in education and religion, and all that dignifies and adorns human character in the former slave States. muq under the operation of those potent agencies or good free speech, free press and a free .'peJ the South and the .North will soon bvC00ifl homogeneous, and whj". that time come. - come U will and that do distant daj--tlien, and not tut then, win . ye " i' entire peace. There is no Reconstruction policy eC effectual as that which will e.'gnt" lL minds of men, puri fy tbeir bea.-ts, and bring their rebellious souls in haruTony with the good government of God. Another of tbe grand achievements of the Republican party is that it has overthrown and destroyed that wicked and disorganizing doctrine, that tbe State, and not the General Government, held the septer of sovereignty in this country. This doctrine was the pet theory of tbe Democratio party. It was on this ground that the South attempted to justify secession, and from this standpoint the Democrats of the North defended there wicked traitors. Our fathers made a fair trial of tbis principle- by incorporating it iuto tbe articles of confederation, aud tbey found soon, to their sorrow, that it was fatal to the permanency of tbeir Union. Allow me to quote the second article of conferation articles, in elucidation of tbis poiut. "Abt ii. Eath State retains its soveregntJt freedom and independence,, aud every power, jurisdiction aud right, which is not by tbis confederation expressly delegated to the Uuited States in Coogress assembled." Among tbe rights reserved to the States was tbe right to levy tbe taxes to pay the eipensej of the general Government, and when the heavy debt of the revolution was to be paid, the general Government found herself powerless in the hands of i States Jealous of each other. The sovereignty of the nation was nothing. All Prower was in the States, aud tho general Government was a mere man of straw; and while the States were wrangling, the patriotio people came together and made a new bond of union, our present glorious Constitution, setting forth in the preamble their purpose and the reasons and necessity lor tbeir action. Allow me here to read that preamble: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure tbe blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." - No language can be clearer. The States are ignored, and the mighty power here speaking for the "common detense" and the "general welfare," is that mighty power before which all'Statcs and faithless parties and Presidents must ever bow. in submission, and that power is in the first worda of the preamble. " tf-e, the reople." But, fearing that the purpose of this sscred instrument might be misconstrue, and to put at rest all assumption on the part of State sovereignty over and above the National authority, they say in the concluding part of the immortal document, That "This Constitution and the laws of the Uuited States which shall bo made in pursuance, shall be tbe supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in tbe Constitution or laws of any Suto to the contrary notwithstanding." The Democratio party, under the lead of John 0. Calhoun and nulliüers of the South, laid down their theory of the 1 Constitutional obligations as expressed in the celebrated resolutions of 1708 that the Stales wer the sole judges of their obligation to vbey and submit to the National

authority, and that tbe States did have the right to make null and void any law that Congress might enact. It was this mischievous heresy that led the Democratic party in tho South to draw the sword against the Nation's life in defense of the doctrine of secession. It is this corrupting and demoralizing construction that led tht leaders of the party in the North away from their loyalty to the Government, andcaosed them - to bow in shameful obeisance to the behests of the slave power. We have paid a fearful price the nation's best blood and countless treasurein maintaining the Constitution as it. is against Democratic misconstruction. But the dogma has been slain by the Republican party. It was wounded at Vicksburg and Miifonary lluTge; it-fell back before the gallant hosts, under Vv!ad of Sherman and, Thomas and ' other great Captains of the nation, and was buried at Appomattox. Court llou.'e, when Gen. Lee surrendered his sword to the great leader of the llepublican party, Gen. U. S. Grant. For it there is no resurrection. It will never again appear as tho disturber of the public peace, or as the author of future national woe and sorrow. It was begotten by Call.onn, nourished and sustained by the Democratic party, worshiped by tbe slave power, made war on the nstioual authority under the lead of Jeff. Davis, and was routed and disgracefully defeated by tbe Constitutionloving Republican party, and put to death by the army of the country, under the lead of that peerless hero and unconquerable chieftain who is to be our nex: Chief Magistrate. It wou'd have lived on, sowing its treason among the people, but for tbe death of Democracy and tho success of Republicanism. Tbe record, therefore, of the Republican party is a proud one, and we stand by it and glory in it, and challenge our political adversary to do tho same by their record, if they can or dare. It requires more courage than I have yet found among our political opponents to succeed in makiog them defend their record. Poiut them to tbeir record, and they will answer imploringly, let "by gones be by gones.' Mr. Cumback then proceeded to discuss at considerable length the reconstruction policy of Congress, and the President, and the course of the Democracy, and the financial, and other questions, and wound up with an earnest appeal to the First District to stand fast in the faith, and in no case to tuffer defeat, lie said: You have fought gallantly in the past, against fearful odds. You have, year af-tt-r je:.', reduced the rueo'th of tbe enem - r hu now, as v,ir.last Legisbture jave repca.'ed th? old unequal and unjust apportionment, "i havc de th.e d9-t,-icts nearer equal is numerical strengths, and u in that apporti'-Ken! happens that You have a smu.'l lpubl.can l nartv will exneci' JOU to &JJ a J Ul liy j a - . maintain that im-jority, and if you' üght as well in the future in the past, you will increase it.

Oianlze at once in every school district, oo?& j for your county paper, and have your neighbor do tn. De on hard at any and all times when there is work to be done, and the 'rich rewards of victory will be the result. , i i - - i The Cherokee and Osage Land Jobs. We trust Mr. Julian's joint resolution will pass, directing the President to withhold the patents called for by the purchasers of the lauds alleged to have belonged to tho Cherokee aud Osage Indians, but now occupied and iuiprocd, at a great cost of time, labor, and money, by white 6ettlers. : The facts relative to the Cherokee grant are these. About thirty-seven years ago th.e Government held in trust for the Cherokee Iudiaos the sum of 500,000, and having appropriated it, gave the Cherokees, instead a deed of 800,000 acres of land in what is now Southern Kansas. .The Cherokees never occupied the lands, which were held in trust for them by the Government until bona ßJevihile settlers moved upon them, took possession and improved them, expecting to obtain title under the Homestead and Preemptiou laws. Fifty thousand settlers had entered upon the lauds a year ago. and tho number has since greatly increased. In 1SCG the Cherokees asserted their claim, but proposed to sell tho bfidi to the Govern-' uieiu for cost. A treaty was made, providing for their sale, cither to settlers at low rates (us a blind), or in a lump, for not less than $6U0,OO0. Tbe lands, being worth at least 3.000.000, were soon bought up by an American Immigrant Company for exactly SSOO.OOO -823.000 down and 8775,000 on very long (we believe sixteen years) time. This appears to have been doue. while Mr. Ilariun was Secretary of the Interior. When Mr. Browuhg succeedeJ, his righteous indignation was naturally aroused that so considerable a ''pluui" should not have been reserved for him, and ho ' accordingly Vset aside" the sale of the Emigrant Company, and made another Silo to Joy of Detroit. After some couQiet bowever, these two grantees mude joint stock of their conflicting titles, iu order to common warfare on tho settlers. Tbe lands sre now considered words at least 5S,0U0,000, leaving a profit to tho operators of 87,200,001), t,o be wrung froui the hardearned savings of lh) Kansas Settlors. One of theui writes to Mr. Julian that half of the udult tualos on thoso binds were in war fur tho Union, aud helped tight for the nation's life. Soiuo of thciu were broken down and shattered iu health in Rebel prisons, and others boar the tnatks of Rebel shot and shell. Their inquiry is; "Is this sale of our homes, the "return our country uukes u.?" Tb Ugo lands, uoomsting of 8,000, 000 acres, appear to have been bought of

the 0?age Nartion on June 3d inst., through the iofluence of Indian Commissioner Taylor, by Mr. Sturgis of Chicago, the principal - owner of a proposed Leavenworth, Lawreoce and Galveston Railroad, for 81.600,000, being twenty cents an acre, payable in fifteen years. Gen. C. W.'Bbir of Fort Scott bid 82,000,000, with the guarantee of reservation for half-breeds and school lands; but Gen. Blair had not "seen" the right parties in the right wsy to have his bid heard and heeded. We hope prompt investigation will be made into both these sales, and that efficient measures will be taken to declare them null and void, at least as to innocent settlers. N. Y. Tribune. Interview With Judge Chase. TIIE TERM3 OS WHICH FIB WILL RUS FOR PRESIDENT. A correspondont, for whom the Brooklyn Union vouches, writes to that journal from Washington: ' Soon after he Chicago Convention, I had rccasion to call again on the Chief Justice. Immediately on entering tho room, I wan strack with his strange manner, and the unusual aspect of countenance with which he had been accustomed to greet me. - That dignified composure, that blanduess and serenity which ever rested 60 gracefully upon his manly pres

ence, was gone. .Nervous, excited, almost pettish. I hesitated making the occasion of my visit known, andl should more hesitate now, bad not his subsequent course given full warrant to the expression of private interviews. When a great man fails us when the natiou's representative separates himself from his friends, they have a right to know fully , and exactly why. That is just to him and fair to them. During the interview allusion was very natnrully made to the Chicago nomination, in tbe result of which he expressed himself as having no interest, "lie had been a Republican once, but they had gone from their principles, and had read him out of the party. It bad got new leaders, men who opposed it while he himself was struggling for its organization, lie had done more for the party than a regiment of men who had read him out of the party. 1 bey had taken the reins into tbeir own hands; and now it mattered but little to him what they did.1' Seeing the direction in which bis remarks were driftiug, aud wishing to avert the plunge down that precipice, I interrupted abruptly: "But Chief Justice Chase can never be anything but a Republican." 'I'm not a llepubiiacn," be said, coldly, and then, qualifying, added, "I am not a partisan att all. I was a Democrat in my younger days. I was elected to the United St .tes Senate as a Democrat, with antislavery, abolition principles." Still wUbiog to draw him back, I remarked: . " "You had many friends who would have supported you bad you received the nomination at Chicago." To which he replied: ; "Yes, I know I had, but they have read me out of the party, and have chosen another leader," Again interrupting, being "determined to force him to adhesion to the great party Cf progress and freedom, I said, earnestly: ('But you ?M riot R0 to the Democrats; you can never ac with that party as now organized; never, certain with its present animus its hatred ot'. negro; its denunciation of reconstruction; opposition to all great and good utoral u?esures. I ou, honored sir, couia never nnu home feeling and sympathy there. You could never become a co worker with your life long political enemies men who hold nothing in common with you. -Most assuredly, you could never cons-eut to become the Democratic candidate for the Presidency," Without manifesting any unwillingness to. continue the conversation, he teemed throughout nervous and fidgety. His countenance had not that cheerful, genial smile upon it that used to play so grfce-, lully over the face of the model Amctican ttatesman. ' lie turned over file after file, and seemed disconcerted, as though he had a poor case, and hid failed to make his poitit. Taking np a paper from one side of his table and laying it down upon the other, he said, etraigbtly: "If they would accept of my principles as their platform, 1 would. I shall not give up my doctrine of equal rights. They must take thät. I shall hold to the reconstruction measures; they are right and constitutional. I drew up the bill tbe second one though I did not have in the military. I would have managed the affairs with civilian officers, and called in the military as they were needed. If I could get them to indorse these principles, that would settle them forever." Wantinq Friends 'I wish that I had some jiood friends to help me on in life!' cried idle Dennis, with a yawn, "Good fiiends! Why you have tea!'' replied his master. "I'm sure I haven't half so many, and those I have uro too poor to help me." "Count your fiugcrs, my boy," said his master. . Dennis looked at his large, strong hands. ''Count thumbs aud all," added the muster. 'I have; there aro ten," said tho lad. "Theu never say'you have not got ten good friends, ablo to help you on in life. Try what thoso truo friends can do before you begin grumbling and fretting because you do not get help from others." Some wags took a drunken fellow, placed bim iu a graveyard, and waited to see the effect. After a short timo the fumes of liquor left him,' and his position being confined, ho sat upright; and, after looking around, exclaimed, "Well, I'm the firot that tit, or eine 1 in cotuovodfdly ) belated!"

We lost a great many chickens from the above and I inspected several; found diseased liver and enlargement of the heart. I then put them upon the followiug: Calo ml, 30 grains; pulverized rosin, CO grains; add 1 gallon corn meal, and mix well, give twice per week. Since I commenced the above we have not lost one.

Oot correspond ent assures us that Mr. Chase does not care for the -Presidency. There is one point settled. Mr. Uoratio Seymour is ia tbe seme fraue of mind. There is anoth er. Another correspondent w ritte to the Syracuse Journal, describing a con versa tion between the Chief Justice and a Mr. James II. Harris, of North Carolina, aa able and active Republican ofthat State. wuo uecimea a unanimous nomination to Congress, because, being a colored man. he feared the effect upon the Northern prejudice. - Mr. Harris told Mr. Cha that the Southern Republicans believed ia do other party. Mr. Chaee replied that be had never thought of organizing - a third party. Then Mr. Harris asked bow about a Democratic Domination, and Mr. Chat replied that when be was made Senator the Democrats came up to him he did not go down to them. Aud, blushed the ingenuous magistrate, "it my frie--) pi sc me in a similar rosiiin now, I ata in tbeir hands." But bow can Mr. Cbaae'a "friends" nominate bim. havine already Dominated Grant? Or, are Bepublicatf no longer his friend:? Last August Mr. Chase was as sure as any man could well be that be was to bo the Radical Republican candidate for the Presidency. It was supposed that tla Soutbera States would be admitted before the Convention, and that be would be demanded by them. The Loyal League waa his especial friend. - lie was acknowledged as the most eminent and the most consist ent of tbe Republican chiefs. He heartily approved the Congressional policy of restoration, and bad made a tour through tbe Southern States, to the great disgust of the Democrats, proclaiming his approval of equal suffrage. Doubtless some promin ent Republicans were no more agreeable to him than to many other of tbeir party associates. Dur the Chief Justice waa the Representative Radical.. This was ia August, aud now in the uaxt June be ia mentioned as the probable Democratio candidate. As we recently asked, what has hat pened iu the meanwhile? Tbe policy ot tbe Republican party and its principles remain the same. It has affirmed them by the highest party authority. It has declared for tbe speedy removal of every disqualifi cation upon suffrage at tbe South. It has refused to make a judicial investigation subject of party discipline. It has declar ed emphatically for tbe amplest maintenance of the rational honor. It has polite ly intimated to certain gentlemen to whom Mr. Chase was opposed that tbey do oot faithfully represent tbe patty. In ever way the party Las vindicated its claim to continued control of the Government upon the principles which tbe Chief Justice has always advocateJ. and with which he ia identified. Notbiog whatever is changed since last August, and a party policy which he disapproved lias failed; why. then, is this Republican chief mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate moie than Mr. Sumner or Mr. H adt? We forget. One little thiug has hap pened. General Grant has been nominated for tbe Prendency by acclamation. But vre asked igain, why, is Mr. Cbaf-e considered a probable Democratio candid ate in 1863, more than Mr. beward its 1860? And why should Echo so pertioaciously answer that General Grant has been unanimously nominated? e beg Lebo to remeaiber that a pub ie correspondent who favors Mr. Chase'a candidacy, imforms us that be does not desire the Presidency. And as the great public objects for which he had so ably contended sre still pursued by tbe party whose principles he advocates, and as it has just nominated two most spotless and most popular candidates upon a platform of singular wisdom, and wholly harmonious with the views aud practice t f his life, to insist that the Chief Justice could be a possible candidate ag.ii.st his own rarty is to sccuse him of ratting Lr mere personal aggrandizement. Nobody KuppofesJ for a moment that Mr. Chase believes iha' Democratic arty, with its orgaiiii.tlon, and tbe character of its adherents, will e cure the principle of tqnal rights as the permanent policy of the Couiounni more tuiely thun the great party of whiih I has been to dittiiiguMied a leader. Ai d, who that has always at heart the ot jert always profesed by the Chief Jntuf, will believe that tbey are r tuoie Tikely t" be attained by the psrty which is rudicnlly hostile to them, merely because, tu ite despair, it uomiuates Mr. Chase, chagrined ' by a personal disappointment? . KniToniAt.. or what ia known aa the "leading aiticlo'' in a newspaper or mag. azine, was unknown in the early hirtory of the pre, and was introduced from necessity, rather than for improvement. Mr. Macaolay states that it seldom ajpeared, even after the censorship of the press es, . pired in 1095. unless there wj want of news When there was a snrcity of intelligence, when the mail failed tn arrive, when no stage roach h id been stopped by highwaymen, when no great riot had -curred, and when, consequently, it was difficult to fill up the paper, than the cd itor supplied a leading article.
