Abstract

The Week

The article discusses some political issues in the U.S. The Cincinnati movement has gathered headway with such great rapidity that the notion of making it an advisory or protesting body, a mass-meeting subsidiary to the convention at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has now wholly disappeared, and for a week past its probable candidates have been the subject of most of the talk. The friends of the Administration held their meeting on Wednesday of last week, in reply to the demonstration of the Liberal Republicans on the previous Friday. Great efforts were made to herald it abroad, and they were successful in producing a very large attendance, the room being crowded in every part, in addition to a small and rather unsuccessful gathering around a stand outside.
