six years making speeches an 1 degrad
ing the party they were once attached
to. I have heard such men say they
were swum to do all they possibly could
to ruin the Dcmocratis party, and they
meant to be true to their oath. If tho
Democrats of Pennsylvania cannot elect
raudidates of their own choice they had
letter hear defeat than be cajoled by
the Abolition Republican or Douglas

other man should be elected by either
