—You gave your lemon, did you. ? If so,
it is the first display of reason-on your part
since the organization of your friends and

seems to us too, that the course adopted by the
Tory Organ to depress the ardor of the muses
M it is displayed in the present rush to arms,
is a part of 'dui programme adopted at the re
cent meeting of the Knights of the Golden
Circle, in the Land Office in this city. But
before making our opinion up fully as to
-whether it is obeying:thek'dictation of the
Knights on this subject, we must wait for
further developments in its columns.
