the charge of dishonesty in their candidate as

we may V.TII inquire what heetuno of the ha

The board, ofollicers who made the report
from whioh the above' statement is copied,

speculators in stocks and lands—who care

who would-sell a negro as soon as they would

of the country aro daily humbugged by thom,_

cowardly scoundrels who will desert thtlta in
