The New York Times, October 24, 2020 Conditions of Affairs at the Navy-Yards. Matters at the different Navy-Yards, notwithstanding the number of vessels ordered for sea, are comparatively dull.

The New York Times, July 11, 1860 Mr. BRECKINRIDGE accepts the nomination of the Administration-Secessionists “from a sense of public duty,” and, as he thinks, “uninfluenced in any degree by the allurements of ambition.” We presume the country will give him full credit for disinterestedness.
