RADfCO AIIOLITIQNISM
However our readers* may desire it, snd 1
wp might be relieved by it, we are not done v

other things too good to be pissed without i

gravity, we cannot say.

trition of the  aad effects which this " monoi
wis producing, the fact that it had already ellV

frdm such a case  concerning   the result of an
sli very convention, is io add one more ' logical w
to this wonderful age.    The argument, if fair!
let. would stand thus:—The brethren in   l:ti.

to I have a fair sample of Mr. Lea's '• logic,"—
specimen of his syllogism*.     It isjtrue, it is not
as  much like a syllogism   as an jold-fashioned,
