y* e the attention of our readers to
this Card, which will he seen on the first
page of the Pilot. It is short but pointed
and exceedingly well conceived and ex
pressed.
Irregularity of the nails.
From every quarter, we hear complaints
about the irregularity of the Mails. The
Marietta Patriot says :
.“On Wednesday last, Ist inst., we re
ceived the Daily Bulletin , published at
Charlotte, N. €., of May 20th. Taking it
only 12 days to come from Charlotte to
Marietta. This is about an average of the
length of time it now requires for our Char
lotte mail to reach us. Why it is, we are
unable to say. Put one thing is certain,
there is gross neglect somewhere. Is there
no remedy ?
Other exchanges come to hand very ir
regular. J
e are in receipt of a letter from a sub
scriber, stating that he does not get the
Patriot” oftener than every C 8 or 10 days,
and sometimes for the space of two weeks.
Ao this subscriber, we mail our semi-week
ly editiou.
How is it, and why is it ? Who is to
blame lor these infringements upon the
rights ot the people ? Something wroiu’
•somewhere, certain.”
Ihe Atlanta Confederacy, dated 3d in
stant, which reached us on the 9th inst.,
says :
I here is scarcely a day that we do not
receive letters from our subscribers on the
line ot the State Road, complaining that
they do not get the Confederacy . We can
assure them that it is regularly mailed and
sriit from the post ollice in this city and
why they do not get their papers we are
unable to say.”
A letter from a subscriber, dated Co
lumbus, June 3d, and received only a day
or two ago, says:—
Dear Sir :—This is to inform you that
I found your paper to bo very interesting,
but, I have only received but four num
beis, I have missed the three last ones, I
cannot account for its delay, without the
Democracy has torn down your Press,
Ibis is not the only complaint we have
heard from the Columbus Office. We can
assure all of our subscribers, that the Pi
lot is regularly mailed with our own hands
and we do not believe the default is attrib
utable to the Post-Office, at this place.

James S. Slaughter. Esq.
With mingled feelings of pleasure and
pain, (with pleasure, because we hope his
higher aspirations may be gratified, with
pain, because we lose a faithful, zealous
and talented Editorial companion) we see
it announced that J. S. Slaughter, Esq.,
has withdrawn from the Editorial depart
ment of the Atlanta American and is now
a candidate for Congress subject to a con
vention. W bother success awaits Mr.
Slaughter, time alone, will reveal. We
believe lie will never be wanting in that
which is better than success—the honesty
and capacity which deserves to be appre
ciated and rewarded. These qualities no
political enemy can steal —and whether
at the humble editorial table, seeking to
manufacture great men out of very small
material, or mingling in the Halls of Con
gress with hundreds of tomtits twittering
on the backs of a few eagles, we know Mr.
Slaughter will be ever ready to and
wield the red torch and flaming sword —
| the Constitution and Union in the faces of
all foreign and domestic foes, and dare
them enter if they can, our national Para
dise.
M e append the following extract from
Mr. Slaughter’s valedictory :
“I am free to say that I should look up
on a dissolution of the Union as a fearful
| calamity : and I believe that its present
| peril is the legitimate fruit of Democratic
j misrule—and, ergo, its safety is in a speedy
! riddance from its vile enemy. Looking
around me, and seeing so much progress
and material greatness and happiness, 1 am
! willing to try the experiment of our Gov
ernment as long as we can, consistently
i with honor, and cannot now place my hand
upon my heart and say that I am willing
j to join in with those who would tear down
’ this beautiful fabric upon the heads of a
j happy, prosperous people. Ido sincerely
appeal to that great and good Being who
crowned our fathers with success and hon
or in the Revolution, to uphold the Consti
tution and the Union.”
A Chapter on Polypes, or Demo
crats swallowing each other.
In Natural History, a Polype is one of
the simplest of animals and very predato
ry and voracious in its instincts and habits.
A Aa is is a still smaller worm on which
the Polype feeds. It is said one Polype
! cannot digest another, on the principle that
i it one thief preyed upon another the social
; arrangements of nature would be deranged,
I and probably destroyed—worms and in
sects, like the poor Irishman, having al
ways some poorer Irishman living on him,
as he lives on society.
A writer in the last number of Black
wood’s Magazine speaks of an unfortunate
Nais fallen among a couple of your thiev
ish, hungry Polypes. The one Polype lias
seized the wriggling tail of the victim, and
the other the head. It is pull Dick and
pull Devil, now. Both tug steadily—and
| both begin to swallow. Unless the body
J should break, and the rivals be pacified by
each having a half, it is probable there will
be a pretty quarrel presently. Let us watch |
the struggle. Each gulps down his own
end with steady, systematic energy, till
there is scarcely a bit of the victim un
swallowed :—the two rapacious mouths get
closer and closer together, as the bridge of
worm between them gets smaller and small
er. “What x\ ill come of it ?—which of them
will “ swear to the controverse and refund ?”
j “ Refund” is a word odious in the ear of
j both ; ’tis not to be alluded to. It is as
j hateful as the word “compromise,” which
j is now being considered very unsoldierlike.
| Huzza old Buck !—hurra Doug ! Old
| Buck opens his mouth wider and wider,
while Doug, begins to realize that there
may be truth in the saying — u the better
port of valor is, discretion.” Rather than
disgorge, Doug, suffers himself to be drag
ged into old Buck’s maw. ’Tis a pretty
sight to see the halt swallowed gentleman >
holding on to lus bit of worm, though
somewhat circumscribed in His “ area of
freedom.” The scene is interesting ! One
political Polype swallowing another when
death, certain death, must result to both
rather than let the poor Nais escape. If
i Doug, sutlers himself to be swallowed, of
course lie is a goner without benefit of
; clergy—if Buck gets his worm, he must
down with Doug, and then such a kicking,
twisting and wriggling he will feel in and
about the abdominal regions, as never was
told. He will sec strange sights and dream
strange dreams, as if there was millions of
bony-toed, sharp-shanked little devils play
| ing nine pins in bis stomach, with his head
multiplied for balls. This is a tough case
for the Convention of Polype to deter
mine at Charleston. Doug, must have his
bit of worm or the whole Polype party will
be past the •• Dead Shot” or “Comstock’s
Vermifuge.” What must be done in this !
awful dilemma ? If the worm is sucked !
i out ot him, will an honorable retreat with
i an empty but a whole skin, satisfy the de- j
mands of his appetite P That is the ques-
I tion !
Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Douglas however, :
are not the only Polype that are exercised
how they shall swallow tHeir bit of worm
| without at the same time swallowing a!
brother Polype. In Georgia, as the repre
sentatives of different factions of Polype,
Brown, Johnson, Iverson, Toombs, Ste
phens, Ac., Ac., are throwing out their ten
tacles in every direction to seize their food
I seperated from some brother’s mouth. The
case is hopeless, for wherever you go, you 1
| will find a worm in the middle and two
: Democrats tugging for dear life at the
| ends. Even the interesting process of swal
’ lowing each other has commenced, and we
i know no way by which this universal glut
tony and deglutition can be stopped but :
by the people crushing out both Nais and
Polype—the worm and sucker. This course
THE EPSOM PILOT, SATURDAY MOH.VI.NG, JENE 11, 1859.
! is demanded by humanity for when the
worms (the spoils of office) are out, the
: Poltpes will then prey on each other, and
j although a glutton is to be despised, a
j glutton and cannibal combined, should not
! receive the least mercy in a Christian and
; civilized country.
Taking the Back Track.
The Lumpkin Palladium, heretofore a
zealous and able Democratic paper, in the
last number, contains the following edito
rial sentiment :
“W e are with the Democracy so long as
she clings to the tenets of her faith ; but
when she abandons the beaten track of our
fathers we can only stand still and look
on. We cannot, we will not, endorse Mr.
Buchanan’s Administration. ‘lf this be
treason make the most of it.’”
“The tenets of her faith !” We wish the
Palladium would inform what they are.
Take care Mr. Palladium how you talk
about not endorsing Mr. Buchanan’s Ad
ministration and “treason.” We think
we heard the same language uttered, about
two years ago, and still the saying—“we
despise the traitor, while we love the trea
son” was reversed, because the Southern
Democracy loved the traitor, Buchanan,
so well that his “treason” to the South
was cordially pardoned, after a somewhat
“hasty, harsh and ungracious” resolution.
Something too, was then said about Wal
ker, Buchanan or somebody else being a
Judas or Arnold. We will however let
this pass, hoping the friends of the Palla
dium will not buck up to old Buck quite
so strong as they did two years ago. So
far as we are concerned, we have no faith
in any promises the leaders ot Democracy
may make. We believe there is much
truth in the remarks of a friend, made in
our presence a few days ago. He said the
leaders of Democracy would nss-emble to
gether and to listen to the spitting, mew
ing and caterwauling, you would think
Heaven and Earth was coming in conflict.
You would go to the scene of action on
the next morning, expecting to see the fur,
claws and teeth scattered in every direc
tion, but you would learn from the natu
ral history of some savage animals that
their loves were only more strongly ce
mented by a free application of strife,
claws and fangs. You would not find a
single trace of the mighty skirmish ; but
look out at the next gathering and you
will see several blind kittens about, who
are already by instinct , learning the tricks ‘
of the n ld tom-cats.

A Dream of Love.
A child of light and beauty,
I saw her pass along,
Wand’ring as was her duty,
Singing an angel’s song.
Her cheeks, so soft, were blowing
With morn’s effulgent glow,
Arid auburn locks fell flowing
Around her neck of snow.
A zone was tied around her,
Os colors manifold,
A bright tiara crowned her,
Os diamonds set in gold.
Angels, methought, descended,
Drawn by her sparkling eyes.
W hose glances far transcended
The brightness of their skies.
The Bee* forget their flowers
And on tire sweetness sips,
That lingers all the hours
On her ambrosial lips.
The flowers make obeisance,
As smiling she passed by,
And deemed it great importance
To taste her nectared sigh.
The birds made music sweeter,
And hovered o’er her way,
t ying, which voice should greet her
With the most charming lav.
But none for aye could charm her,
Not e'en the mock eyed dove,
And none e’er dared to harm her,
But bowed themselves to Love.
The sun spread out before her
His softest, gentlest rays,
And I, her mute adorer,
Was lost in Love and Praise.

Just Dropped in. —A gentleman in a
neighboring city, having occasion to get a
note changed, dropped into a broker’s of
fice, and having accomplished his errand,
was induced to try his luck by purchasing •
a whole ticket in the Georgia Lottery, which
resulted in his obtaining the capital prize!
That was his “tide,” “which,” as Shak
speare says, “if taken at the flood, leads on
to fortune.” There is indeed, “a tide in
the affairs of men.” and no one would be
more likely to realize the sentiment of the
“Bard of Avon,” than those who avail
themselves of the chances offered bv the
great firm of Wood, Eddy A Cos., of Au
gusta, Geo., and Wilmington, Delaware. —
An investment of 810. 85 or 82 50, in
any of their lotteries, may be the tide for
many, if they address the above firm at
Wilmington, Delaware, or Augusta, Geor
gia, and enclose the money for a whole
ticket or shares, in any of their liberal and
attractive schemes. —Sunday leader.
Letters from Europe to the Edi
j vV tor of the Pilot.
* . Seville, April 7, 1850.
Dear Cousin : I brought you yesterday
1 on our way to this place as far as the South
ern borders of La Mancha. We penetra
ted the Sierra Moreno by a defile, which
is singularly called Despina perrors (throw
over dogs.) The scenery is very fine. The
mountains rise on either hand. At cer
tain points you look down over rocks piled
on rocks, hundreds of feet, into the gorge
below, until the head is giddy ; while far
: off’to the left loom up, mingling with the
i sky the peaks of the Sierra Xevada with
! their diadem of snow.
The name of this narrow passage through
the mountains is derived, it is said, from
the practice of the Spanish Christians of
throwing the Moors over these rocks, when
they refused to abjure the faith of the Pro
phet. I should not be surprised that there
was a reciprocity in this kind of sport —for
the enmity between the races was mortal.
While the Spaniard called the Musselman
“infidel dog,” the Moor knew the Span
iard only bv the title of “ Christian dog.”
As either party gained the ascendancy in
the course of the changeful fortunes of
1 their lung warfare, we cannot doubt that
each availed itself of the craggy heights to
reek vengeance upon the others by ibis
| terrible manner of death. Far down there
;in the deep gorge, mouldering together,
lies the martyred dust of the follower of the
; Cross and of the Crescent! !
Passing Despina perrors , a change, as
| instantaneous as it is refreshing, comes
| over the face of the country, and of course
| over one’s own spirit. You bid adieu to
| solemn, dreary La Mancha—you hail bright,
| cheerful Andalusia, which spreads out like
a rich carpet before you in “gay the atric
pride. ’ 1 think I have remarked to you
! somewhere, that Spain has none of the as
pects of a Southern clime. Mv residence
in Madrid led me into this mistake. That
quarter of the Peninsular is, indeed, bleak
as the frozen North. But. the soft volup
tuousness which now envelopes the ampli
tude ot earth and sky as with a garment,
leaves vim no longer to doubt that this
balmy region is the land of the Moor. The
genial summer sun, which knows no win
ter ; the little hills, which rejoice on eve
ry side ; the pastures, which are- clothed
with flocks ; the valleys also, which are
covered over with corn ; the vegetation, so
rich and varied and fragrant ; the vine, the
orange, the lemon, the olive, the palm ;
“even every tree that is pleasant to
the sight and good for food.” Such is An
dalusia. More fruitful than the vale of
Sharon—more delicious than the spicy
breezes that blow from Araby, the Blest !
I do not wonder that the Moslem fought
so? it, through eight long centuries, as for
his life. Ido not wonder that he shed bit
ter tears when the obstinate valor of the
Goth wrested it from his dominion forever !
We dined the second day at La Caroli
na, whose neat, fresh appearance made me !
think for awhile, that I was again in one 1
of the new-born villages of our western
woild. All the Spanish towns, which I
had hitherto seen, had an ancient air and
a decayed aspect. In all ot them you find
old remains of the several races w hich have j
successively held possession of the country
—the Roman, the Goth, the Moor. Not
so in La Carolina, which looks as modern i
as Charlotte or Raleigh. The streets, j
deeply shaded with trees, are laid out with j
exact regularity: and the cottage-like
houses are ranged with a uniformity, and
finished in a recent style of architecture
that is very novel here, and by contrast, j
exceedingly pleasing to the eye. On en
quiry, 1 found that the town was estab
lished about the middle of the last centu
ry—in America we would call even that an
old town—and peopled by some Dutch and
Swiss, w hose tastes have combined to make ;
it one of the prettiest villages in Spain,
though altogether un-Spanish.
As we neared the picturesque town of
Carmona, we had a sample of the way
they administer criminal justice in Spain.
We were suddenly stopped by some com
motion among our mules. It soon appear
ed that the horse on w hich our postillion
rode was letting blood and water in such
profusion as showed that his days were
ended. The tact was that the postillion,
by way of grudge or mischief, struck, in
passing, one of a team belonging to a
muleteer who was quiellv pursuing his i
course along the road. The enraged mule
teer, in retaliation, drew a large knife,
such as every Spaniard carries in his belt,
and aiming a blow at the wrong-doer, sent
it up to the hilt in the bowels of the poor
animal. Our mayoral immediately raised
a shout, when we saw one of those gens
Marines, who crowd the royal roads to keep
the peace and protect travellers, coining
armed cap-a-pie with all speed. At a
few words from the mayoral and without
any enquiry into the provocation, lie began
to beat the muleteer w ith the broad side
of bis sabre. The offender was then car
ried before the Alcalde of the town, where ■
his fate was soon sealed. On the mere
one-sided statement of the mischievous
postillion, he was handed over to the gens
d’armes, who hurried him off to prison.
And as he was borne sullenly away I could
not but think that, in this land where the
precious writ of habeas corpus is unknown,
long would be the day ere he hailed again
the light of heaven, or received “the web
come home of his wife and children.
1 lay over a day in Cordova. That is
one of the places in Spain which must be
well seen. Situated in the valley of the
Gucidelquiver, embowered amid olives and |
palm-trees, it realizes, as you approach ;
it over the immense plain, all your ideas
of an Oriental City. With an origin that
runs back into fabulous antiquity, it has
owned the sway of many masters ; re
nowned as the birth-place of Seneca, the
Philosopher, and Gonzales, the Great Cap
tain ; the nurse of science and the centre
of civilization, while Europe was shrouded
in the night of the Dark Ages ; no locality
possesses for tlie traveller more historical
attraction. It attained its highest emi
nence under the Moorish dynasty, when,
in point of population, and wealth, and
magnificence, it was all and more than all
that New York is now. How fallen ! from
j such a height* to a poverty-stricken town
ot 30,000 souls! It abounds, neverthe
less, in relics ol the past—of which I have
time to notice only one, but that one the
I chief object of interest.
The Mosque at Cordova, which was built
j towards the close of the Bth century,rank
’ ed in sanctity second only to the Caaba at
| Mecca. I Can’t say that the exterior im-
I pressed me. The roof is too low, though
the minaret, from which the faithful were
summoned to prayers, is very tall and
! graceful. Passing through the once heau
! tiful Court of Oranges, now the abode of
beggary, where, however, there is yctstand
| ing a cistern of crystal water, in which the
devout Mussulman was accustomed to per
form his a Illusions ere lie crossed the sa
| cred threshold of the Temple, I entered
j the main building by the great central
door.
The scene was magical. The low roof
supported by a thousand variegated marble
pillars ; the airy architecture of tlie Orien
tals, now seen for the first time ; the Mo
j saic curiously wrought in the floor, repre
! sen ting incidents of Arabian story ; the
dim religious light falling over all from a
j sky ol cloudless beauty ! The only thing
which takes off from the effect of the in
| terior is what has been done by the Catlio
; lies. Tor they have converted the Mosque
! into a Cathedral, and after the fashion of
their pompous religion, have marred its
original glory by all their barbaric trum
; pery of carved wood and glided imagery,
j 1 lingered alone almost the day long
: amid tins forest of pillars, filled “with
j such thoughts of things past and to come
!as well might recommend such solitude
before choicest society.”

Opposition Meeting.
Tiiom astox, June Gth,
At an adjourned meeting of the Opposi
tion party of Upson county, held this day
in the Court House, Phillip Cunningham
was called to the Chair and Rul/t F. Pa
tillo requested to act as Secretary; when,
on motion of Jordan Lyons, Esq., the
Chairman appoipte I two from each Miii
tin District, as a committee who should re
port suitable persons to represent the party
in tHe Gubernatorial Convention and also
in the Congressional Convention of the 3d
District. The Chair appointed the follow
ing gentleman on said Committee : Dr. E.
A. Flewcllen, F. F. Mathews, James M.
Middlebrooks, Janies M. Barron, Robert
M. Jackson, Greene Ferguson, G. A. Mil
ler, Nathan Respass, Abner Abercrombie,
Crawford Rogers, Alfred 11. Brown, Drury
Womble, Jeptha F. Walker, and Jona
than S. Stamps, Esqs., who retired, and
after a short absence, reported the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted :
1. Resolved, That, in the language of
the Father of our Country, we cherish a
“cordial, habitual and immovable attach
ment” to our national Union, and that we
will defend it at the hazard of our lives,
our fortunes and our most sacred honor,
against the attacks of internal and exter
nal enemies, and frown “ indignantly on
each and every attempt to alienate any por
tion of our country from the rest, or to
enfeeble the sacred lies which now link to
gether tlip various parts.”
2. The name of American, which is ours
in a national capacity, should always exalt
our pride of patriotism more than any ap
pellation derived from local discrimina
tions, having, as one people, the same re
ligion. laws, manners, habits and political
principles —the same Constitution, and the
same glorious fame and destiny.
3. That the present self-called Demo
cratic party is a party of no principles—
that it is hypocritical in its professions and
false in its practices to all sections ; and its
double-dealing but recently has been sig
nally manifested in Walker instructions to
abolitionize Kansas through the agency of
squatter sovereignty and alien suffrage, arid
in the action of the late Democratic State
Convention to make a mere agent of the
President a scape-coat to bear off all the
sins of his superior (the President), when
lie (the agent) was subject alone to that
superior, if he violated instructions, and
for which he could have lx-en removed,
which was never done or even attempted
to he done by the President.
4. That we believe the constant agita
tion of the slavery question enures alone
to the benefit of demagogues, and is par
ticularly injurious to the peace and pros
perity ot those who arc most interested in
the institution.
5. We are opposed to Federal commis
sions of Bankruptcy acting on our .State
corporations—to the war-making power in
the hands of our Presidents—to Federal
interference in State elections—to entrust
ing large sums of the people’s money to
the Executive without a special appropria
tion for a specific object by the immediate
representatives of the people—to all pro
tectorates of foreign territory—to all en
tangling alliances—to rushing into, wars
except where justice and honor demands—
and especially to the extravagance and cor
ruption which now in every department
characterizes this administration, and we
endorse the language of Governor Wise of
Virginia, that “the full scheme of Federal
policy of the present Executive, injts whole
outline and filling up, exceeds flfcjpder
alism, in all its points, which
or an Adams, or any other latitudinarian
ever dared to project or propose.”
6. In the language of the Charleston
Mercury . that National Demomttcy “ has
trifled with Constitutional provisions, dis
regarded Constitutional restrictions, and
set at nought positive constitutional in
junctions. It has aided in the passage of
unjust and unequal laws, it squandered the
public money, robbed the common treasu
ry, and to foreign paupers it has given the
public lands. Its promises have been bro
ken, its pledges disregarded, and its pro
fessions falsified. To conclude the whole
matter —National Democracy is corrupt,
vasilating and false; it wears the garb of
sanctity, that hideous deformities may he
concealed ; it woos but to ruin, and wins
but to destroy.”
7. We have no confidence in the leaders
of a party so utterly regardless of their
promises and of the obligations due to the
Constitution, the Union and the civil
ized world, and we hereby pledge our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honor to unite
with patriotic, conservative men in every
part of our vast country in hurling from
power tin’s corrupt and extravagant party,
and place m position and oflice only those
who are “honest, capable and faithful to*
the constitution,” and who will administer
the government for the good of the people,
and not for selfish party demagogues and
office-holders and office seekers.
8. That squatter sovereignty, as inter
preted by leading Democrats, is hereby ut
terly repudiated and condemned, as viola
tive of the spirit of the Constitution, and
an insidious and dangerous infringement
upon the rights of the slaveholding States;
that it is as “indefeasible in principle and
dangerous in practice as the Wilmot Pro
viso the most monstrous doctrine ever
advanced by an American statesman” ; and
flic people of tin* South ought not, and will
not submit to it.
!). That licit iter Congress nor a Territo
rial Legislature has the right to confer up
on unnaturalized foreigners the right to
vote in the Territories ; and no person of
foreign birth should he permitted to vole
in any State or Territory, until he sliall
have been regularly and legally naturalised
according to the provisions of the act of
Congress on that subject.
10. That Col. A. G. Fainbro, C< 1. P.
W. Alexander, Tin s. S. Shannon, Jesse
Stephens, and G. A. Miller, Esqs., heap
pointed dt ates to represent the Opposi
tion of Upson county in the Gubernatorial
Convention, and that Col. Wm. G. Hors
ley, Maj. Win. A. Cobh, Joel Mathews,
James Trice, and J. F. Walker, Sen.,
Esqs., be appointed delegates to the Con
gressional Convention ; and that, in case
any of the above-named gentlemen .should
be unable to attend, they are hereby au
thorized to appoint delegates in their stead,
11. That the thanks and gratitude of
this meeting he, and they are here-by ten
dered to the Hon. R. P. Trippe for bis
faithful, conservative and abb- services as
the representative of this Congressional
District, and that cither as a public ser
vant or private citizen, he has our best
wishes for his future happiness npd pros
perity.
On motion, the proceedings of this meet
ing were ordered to be published in the
Upson P'lot, and that all other papers
friendly to our cause in the State be
quested to copy.

The Harmonious—The Senatorship.
The Federal Union is quite exercised in
reference to the Senatorship, anil regards j
the pretended demonstrations in favor of I
Iverson in some recent meetings of the I
spoilsmen, as 11 the essence of humbug ’ I
That journal seems to think that Judge
Mcdonald was defeated by a little political 1
legerdemain, well understood among the I
spoilsmen, and prefers either McDonald or I
Johnson to Iverson. The Union says: 1
“The attempt to forestall public opin* k
ion with Senator Iverson, fas a par excel’ B
lence Southern Rights man, is the essence I
of humbug: Compare the Southern Right® B
record of Senator Iverson with that of eith- I
er McDonald or Johnson, and the former I
dwindles into insignificance. Thgjact i®
both McDonald and Johnson have strong# L
claims on the Democratic party than Iver- Ip
sen has. The Democracy can never forget l
Johnson or McDonald. What has Sena- ||
tor Iverson done to give him an advantage BL
over those old and faithful Democratic IB
leaders ?” f if
We concur with the Union , that theH
mocracy can, or ought, never to forgot 3k* H
Donald and Johnson — certainly the poop* If
should not, for under the |H
the former the currency of# the State ’ I I
the State’s credit, was depreciated aixjg
