THE OPPOSITION ON A NEW TRACK.


Every person who has devoted any
portion of his time, to the perusal of the
public prints, is aware of the course pur-

word or letter, the secret organization of
large body Of men, to march to this
city on any given emergency Is there
not now actually such an organization ?"
These questions are said to be put for GER
