‘ The t mission is opposition to the Administration and to the Republican party, asserts even possesing local importance, has Atrenated a large class of those who most contributed to his election.” This may 1 display s dns ameunt of rerilkJffle; uewj Democratic organ, but it is overdoing the bustoess altogether. “ Not-even possessing local importance Let uis see about that, -■Hob; Hifflfllidir Fish, Secnstrijr of State, ‘dhe'of the tifo'st toapected" Governors New York has had during the last quarter the foremost nreu of of New Yore, i is cßrtmhly ndt to be whistled down with that disparaging phrase. *The Secretary ( S, of the ablest, Execqtives tliat State has ever Sad. hie district in -liongres* aftjuriyfifeirii i was recognized at home and abroad as 'thfe luailing man of the Maesachusotts delegation.
