Wasitricrox, June 22, IP4O.
GrammtErt: 1 yesterday received your
very kind letter of the 15th inst., inviting
me to participate with my fellow-citizens
of Oxford, in celebrating the anniversary of
our Nati-ml Independence. Nothing would
afford me more pleasure than to meet my
Oxford friends on that occasion; but a pri-1
or engagement, and the feeble condition of
my health, both interfere• to prevent me
from joining with the friends of Harrison
and Reform at the proposed celebration,
and must be My excuse to my friEnds for not
uniting with them. With my most unfeign•
cd respect, I send you the following senti
ment:
Reform—by which abuses may be col.•
rooted, not increased and aggravated.
remain your friend and fellow citizen,

CARLISLE, June lbth, 1840.
GiermmtiEN: It would afford me pleasure
if it wore in my power to accept the invite•
tion with which I am honored by the friends
of Harrison and reform, to unite with them,
in celebrating, on the 4th of July next, the
groat principles, for which we are now con•
tending; and which were proclaimed by our
forefathers on tho auspicious day of which
the approaching celebration will be the an
niversary. A prior engagement will pro.
vont me from being with you, and while I
make my acknowledgments to you for the
very flattering terms in which you have
been pleased to communicate your invita
tion, permit me to convey my earnest con
gratulations upon tho bright prospects of the
redemption of our suffering country from
the hands of wicked and corrupt rul , irs,
which are every where presented. But we
must still remember that the victory is not
yet achieved, that we have a most formida
ble enemy to contend with, an enemy long
trained to combat, who fights for the spoils
of _office, the plunder of the nation, and
whose energies are sharpened by these
spoils, and the desperation of dispair. Our
friends are animated by the purer motives of
patriotism—the same love of country, the
same consciousness of an honest cause,
which upheld our fathers the Whigs of the
revolution against foreign mercenaries must
now sustain us in a conflict with the domes
tic mercenaries, the office holders, and their
dependants. In the former case the Whig
democrats of the revolution were frequently
opposed by these mercenaries load on by
the tories of that day, the Whig democrats
of the present day find among the leaders
of their federal opponents those who if they
had lived in the days of the revolution would
have been tories. The contest now is
scarcely loss important than the contest
then. They fought to establish, we con.
tend to preserve our liberties. Looking to
its magnitude, let us remember their ex
ample; and cease not in our efforts until the
contest is over and the victory won.
Allow me to offer to mylellow-citizens
the subjoined sentiment and accept the as
surance of the high regard with which I
am, gentlemen, very truly,
Your friend and fellow•citizen,
CHS. B. PENROSE.

"The Log Cabin and Hard Cider.—
Terms of derision of official insolence—
adopted by the people as proper emblems of
reform—the people have willed it and will

cider.

The Tree of Liberty.—Planted by Gen.
Washington and the Heroes of tho revolu
tion; cherished and guarded by Gen. Har
rison and American patriots in the last war:
may its branches extend to a magnitude
sufficiently wide, to cover the universe—
may Republican governmonts be instituted
tinder its shadow, based upon the principle
that all man are born free and equal, their
rights guarded and their laws respected,

Renowned for his courage, not noisy nor rude,
In wisdom excelling, Old Tip, ho subdued,
Surrounded by friends the world will proclaim:
Ohl never give up your rights and your gain,
No! never while liberty here shall remain.
By Daniel Heagy. The people would
quit the thirty nine million system of expen
diture, your modern spendthrifts, and go
back to the thirteen million system of our
former old fashioned Republican Presidents;
and in doing so, they turn their devoted eyes
from the palace, with its gaudy East room,
and • its vessels of gold and silver, and hail
with joy the Log Cabin, with its homely
but honest fare, and with all its pledges of
simplified and frugal expenditure. As the
costly and splendid palace is the sign and
emblem of the artificial man within—so is
the log cabin with its unpretending structure
its primitive appliance arid homely fare, a
sign of the honest-hearted inmate, who, if he
have nothing else, has always a welcome
for his friend, or his country's friend.
By J. J. Kuhn. Harrison and Tyler—
Worthy sons of the "Old Dominion;" the
mother of Presidents; educated in the repub

of the United States—Whilo he loves
peace, may ho not forget what is due to no
tional honor.
By A. H. Barnitz. How do the Lxo
focos divorce the Government from the
Banks?—By repealing all penalties for refu
sing specie payments, and then borrowing
all their irredeemable paper to pay the debts
of the State.
By Daniel M. Smyser. Martin Van
Buren—The enemy of the laborer and poor
man, and friend of the capitalist, monopolist
and speculator. His scheme to degrade the
free American laborer to the dependent con
dition of the slaves of Cuba, discloses his
purpose to erect his throne on the necks of
that useful and now controlling class of our
citizens. They thank and will suitably re
ward him.
By John G. Morningstar. William Hen.
ry Harrison—His opponents have styled
him the log cabin candidate—log cabins
were the early homes of the hrst Bottlers of
every State in the Union—Log cabins were
the garrison of the frontiers, when every
acre was won from the wilderness and the
savage by the sacrifice of a human life:
Honored then through all limo, be these
memorials of trials, the suffering, the . tri
umphs of our forefathers; thrice honored be,
he whom the splendid palaces, the seduction
of official station, the blaze of military and
civic renown,could never allure from his at.
tachment to the Republican simplicity
which he learned between the unhewn raft
ers of his log cabin.

Harrison and all his noble men; God bless
him and protect him by land and sea, for
he has, the boys that fear no noise, the eons
of liberty.

lessons of liberty and patriotism.'
By Peter Chronister. Martin Van Bu

By Jacob Diehl. Could a higher encomi•
urn be passed upon ,the gallant Harri•
son than to call him the log cabin candidate?
No! and when he goes to the White House
on the 4th of March next, Martin, with his
imported fopperies, his foreign airs, his
English coach and his blooded horses wil!

and suffering people.
By Peter Chronister. James Buchanan
and low wages; Charles Jared Ingersoll, or
I would have been a tory, David IL Porter,
and Thomas B. M'Elwee, of Buckshot
memory; tour beautiful roses of Democracy:
success to their professions.
By S. R. Russell. The Sub-Treasury—
A Government Bank without responsibility
and beyond control—a desire to give the
President the unlimited control of the public
purse. Add to this his demand for a stand
ing army of 200,000 men, and he will be a
despot and we his slaves.
By Jonathan J. Baldwin. Equality of
rights and independent sentiments and the
liberty of our country—A (ripple wall more
substantial than steel and more durable than

enlightened man to defend it, than General

By Lewis R. Hamersly. The Declara

renegadoes from the faith of au abused and
dishonored ancestry—though they have crept
into the halls of science or unworthily oc•
cupy high places in the sanctuaries of jue.
tico, within our country—who denounce its
self-evident truths as "false, sophistical and

with the most deserving infamy ever inflict
ed by the American people.
By R. C. Livingston. Gen. W. H.
Harrison—The letters patent of nobility

By J. G. Uttz. James Cooper—Our own

majority.
By C. Zeckor. Harrison—The gallant
• Hero who was fighting the battles of his

GEN. HARRISON AND THE WHIGS OF
THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.
Wo publish below, an interesting corms
pondenco between the Wilms of the Now
York Legislature and the Whig candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of
tho United States. The action which led
to the correspondence was consummated on
the 22d of February, the birth day of WASH
INGTON; and the 4th of July, the birth day
of the Republic, has been with great propri
ety selected by the Committee for its publi•
cation. The letter of Gon. HAnnisox is
frank, full and explicit. It takes the ground
that should bo maintained by every Presi
dential candidate. The adoption of the
principles of the letter will do more than any
thing else to carry back the Republic to the
purity and integrity of its earlier days, and
to introduce an administration worthy to
succeed that of WASHINGTON.

at a meeting held on Saturday last, being

We have also the honor to transmit to

We have the fullest confidence that in the

Gen'l Wuraelt HENRY HARRISON.
NORTH BEND, Ohio, May 23,1840.
Gentlemen—l have the honor to acknow
ledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th
February, conveying the proceedings of a
meeting of the Whig members of the Legis
lature, convened in the capitol of the State
on the 22d of that month.
I beg you to believe, gentlemen, that I am
deeply impressed with the honor, which has
been conferred upon me by the distinguish
ed body, whom on this occasion you repre
sent. The great object or both my civil and
military life has been to serve my country,
to the utmost of my abilities, and to obtain
its approbation. The hope of this has often
cheered me in circumstances of great diffi
culty and embarrassment.
You will pardon me, I trust, if in this let
ter I go somewhat beyond the mere purpose
of acknowledging the receipt of your com
munication, and use the occasion for making
a few remarks, which circumstances seem
to require from me, in respect to a declara
tion of opinions, or pledges, as to my future
conduct, required of candidates for high
offices.
My public life, not now a short one, is be
fore the country. My opinions on import
ant subkicts, have been expressed from time
to time, as those subjects have arisen, and
since my name has been mentioned among
those from whom a selection might be made
for the office of President, I have in several
letters to friends, fully and fianldy avowed
my sentiments. Farther -than this, 1 can
not suppose intelligent persons could desire
me to go. The people of this country do not
rely on professions, promises nod pledges.—
They know, that if a candidate is unprinci
pled lie will; not scruple to give any pledge
that may be required of hurt and as little will
he hesitate to violate it. I have already
made public the principles by which I should
be governed if elected President, so far as
relates to the proper Executive duties of that
office. But almost innumerable applications
have been made to me, for my opinions re
lative to matters of legislation, ix even, to
the proper mode of conducting business in
tho two Houses of Congress. My published
letters to Mr. WiLmints, and Mr. DENNY,
will show, that 1 do not consider the Presi
dent a constituent branch of the Legislature;
yet it is impossible to read tho letters that
have beet) addressed to me. without beim
ins that many of the writers had adopted
the opinion, that the Presidential office was
the proper source and origin of all the legis.
!atm of the country; an opinion, iu my judg
ment, at war with every principle of the
constitution and of deep and dangerous con
sequence. Tho prevalence of such senti
ments, moro than almost any thin , * else,
would tend to consolidate the whole substan
tial power of the Government in the hands
of a sinolo man a tendency which, whether
in or out of office, I feel.it my most solemn
duty to resist..
Ilhave declined therefore to gtve any fur-
ther pledges or opinions on subjects which
belong to theluture legislation et Congress
—because.
-Ist. I conceive. forglie reasons given in
my letters to Mr. WILIJams, and Mr, Doti.
rt, that Congress shookd be left as much as
possible untrammelled by executive influ•
enc_o the discharge of its le.gislative func
tions; and that a better guarantee for the
correct conduct of a Chief Magistrate may
be found in his character and tho course of
his former life, than in pledges and opinions

Gentlemen-1 owe you my acknowledg

the proceedings of the Whig members of
the Legislature of New York, and the paper
containing the addresses made at their lato
meeting. I have read them with deep in
terest, not because of my present political
relations to the country, relations which you
aro welt aware are not in the slightest do.
gree of my own seeking; but because what
ever proceeds from the accredited reprosen.
tatives of a majority of the People of the
groat State of New York, is entitled at all
times, and more especially at the present, to
excite the high3st degree of attention. The
influence and power which she exerts over
the affairs of the Union, devolve upon her a
responsibility of the weightiest character,
and when she announces herself on the side
of the institutions of the country, the friends
of civil Liberty have cause to feel assured
that all is safe. Such are the feelings which
your late proceedings and addresses are
calculated to inspire, and such, I am sure,
will be the happy result.
For the complimentary notice which has
been taken of myself by the Whig members
of the Legislature, I beg to be permitted to
express my thanks, and to tender to each of
you, gentlemen, wishes for your health, hap

A PITIFUL TRICIE.-Itl 1830, there was
an election for Govornor in Ohio. To the
re-election of Governor Brown, there was
no regular opposition. Gen. Harrison was
no candidate. Some voters dissatished with
Brown, voted for Govornor Morrowancl
some for Gen. Harrison-4840 votes wore
in that way thrown for Harrison. In his
own county, and in nine others, ho did not
get a vote—in 14 counties more he got 74
votes! These votes wore returned to the
department of state and counted before the
Senate. Tho statement of them is now
paraded in the Globe, as official evidence
from the Journal of the Senate, of General
Harrison's want of popularity at home! In,
what contempt the Glebe must hold the
people, to expect any man of common sense
to believe that General Harrison, being ai
'candidate for office, could not got ono vote
in 10 counties, and only 74 votes in 24
counties.—Ctneinnati Gaz.

Our Proposition .11gain.
We published the record of the proceedings of
the Legislature of Ohio from the hand of Gen.
Harrison himself, in answer to a request of the
•'Compiler." Ho has failed to comply with his
promise that if wo did so publish, ho would in
sert Mr. Williams' letter to Goa. Harrison togeth
er with the General's reply. If he denied the
correctness of the General's letter relative to these
proceedings, ho was required to pronounce it a lie,
or a collection of lies. It has not been done. He
has therefore determined not to give his reader the
truth. Ho has violated a promise put forth by him
self, and is convicted of giving publicity to state
ments, kno:en to be false, and which he refuses
to correct.
One word for all—we have bandied words long
enough. We havo discovered long since, that the
whole crew of Loco Foco papers of the ',Compi
ler" and "Keystone" stamp, aro casting their mis.
siks from under cover,that the arrows of the oppo
sition may not roach thorn. Wo doff this warren),
and proclaim it to all who would prefer charges
against Gen. Harrison, that WE ARE READY
TO MEET THEM AND THEIR CHARGES.
If you aro anxious to prove them, we will hear
you sustain them at any time, or on any occasion
you may fix; wo will meet you at any, or every
public "netting of the people from this time until
the election. Wo send forth a DENIAL OF
ALL THE CHARGES that have been preferred
against tho Farmer of North Bend, and stand pre
pared to back that denial! Como on then—lot
the people be witnesses of your sincerity—your
honesty—your love for the truth! Let the people
hear, and wo will abide the result. Come out
before the people, our columns shall be devoted to
the dissemminated of facts taken from the history
and acts, and opinions of Gen. Harrison and Mr.
Van Buren, sustaining the claims of the former to
the. Presidency, and repudiating the claims of the
latter. Too the mark.
Mr. Cooper's Speech on the
Sub-Treasury.
We apprised our readers a short time since of
the ablo argument made by our Representative in
Congress (Mr. Cooper) on the Sub-Treasury Bill.
It will doubtless be gratifying to all to peruse the
subjoined notice of that speech, which wo cut from
the Boston Atlas; to the Editor of which paper we
suppose Mr. Cooper is unknown. When such
expressions of opinion come from neighboring
States, wo feel more than proud of our member.
We could ask no more exalted eulogium upon his
public life; no higher tribute to his abilities. Wo
have been well represented in the persons of some
of his predecessors; but aro sustained, not only by
his immediate constituency, but by the public
generally, in saying that the Twelfth Congres
sional district has never been more ably represen
ted. If such a castigation was dealt out by him
when debilitated by disease; in the midst of inter
ruptions and questions of order almost past num
bering; and under the parliamentary decisions
of an arbitrary arid oppressive chairman, (Mr.
Banks;) what may the minions of power expect,
when, invigorated by our healthful air, fresh from
amongst his constituents, and laden with all the
instruction to bo gathered by mingling with the
people borne down by their grievances at the
hands of this Aeministration, he enters upon next
winter's duties. Look out Sub-Treasurers.
Mu. COOPER of Pennsylvania having the
floor, rose and commenced his remarks in
opposition to the SubMreasury. It was a
masterly performance, and conveyed more
wholesome truths, couched in bold and deci
ded language, than the minions of power
have heard in the HOMO for some time. The
Tories fairly quailed before his fearless and
withering denunciations. They writhed
in their seats, and at last, no longer able to
endure such a severe and merciless castiga-
tion, they attempted, by interruption, pre-
tended questions of order, and by the gross.
est exercise of tyrannical power, to molest,
annoy, and choke off the remarks of the
talented representative from Pennsylvania—
and, by the partial and outrageous oppres
sion of Mr.. Banks, who is one of the most
arbitrary and oppressive partisan chairmen
that ever trampled upon a powerless minor
ity, they in some measure succeeded.
In his style, Mr. Cooper is one of the most
ready and fluent speakers in the House. Al
tlitatgli perfectly extemporaneous in all his
remarks, they could not be more exact or
perfect 111 their composition, if they had been
prepared with the greatest care and study.
That this is not the case with his remarks,
vas sufficiently shown by the failure of the
most ennoyd ; and vexatious interruptions
u r
that any speaker eyer had to contend with,
to effect this peceliarity of hiv style.
In the course of his remarks he attempted
to reply to Montgomery of North Carolina,
who had charged him with having been
elected by fictitious votes But Mr. rthett
called him to order, and the chairman hav
ing decided him to bye out of order, ho said
he would not proceed eu that point, he would
merely say that all t he gentleman from North
Carolina had said on the subject was false,
false in fact—false in inference—false in
Oetrril—and false in whole s Ha then pro•
teeth:lq ?peak of the Sub Treasury, and
was proceeding le 'show p with words of the
most withering force, that the Sub-Treasury
was of a piece with the extravagance that
had throughout characterised the measures
of the administration, and was the legitimate
result of the gross abuses of government,
when Albert Smith—a man whom the peo
ple of Cumberland if they have any respect
for themselves, will never again send to
Washington to play the bully and the black
guard—unable to endure the keen and Cut
ting sarcasm which Mr. Cooper was dealing
out right and left, pretended he was out of
order, and Mr. Banks, who had listened with
silence when Black of Georgia, went out of
his way to vilify the recent convention in
that Slate, and meanly to denounce one not
on the spot to defend himself, for acts of six
years standing—who had listened without
opening his lips when Celquitt wasted hours
in the most irrelevant rigmarole, and said
ho was waiting to see where his remarks
were tending, insisted that Mr. Cooper was
out of order. A mote unrighteous decision
never was made, even by the arrant despot
who has occupied the chair during the dis
cussion of the Sub-Treasury.
Mr. Cooper then went on without Ibrther
interruption,and gave one of the beet speech
es, when we consider its brevity and the
outrageous interruptions he had to contend
with, that has been delivered on the subject.

Col. R.. 31. Johnson.
Tho Vico Prosident of the United States atten
ded a 4th of July celebration at Reading, Pa. He
arrived in Harrisburg on Sunday the sth inst. ac
companied by Gov. Porter, and on tho following
day addressed a number of citizens on Capitol
Hill. Wo cut the following notice of his speech
from the Intelligencer:
When he came to speak of the pursuit of
Proctor—the credit of which his friends
have given to Colonel Johnsen—he said he
was not at the council which decided to pur
sue the British army. 0 1 was not then on
the Canada side," said ho—"tho pursuit was
planned by the patriotic SHELBY and HAR-
I:m*1." At the mention of Gon. Harri
son's name, the federalists all looked very
grave, as they began to fear the Colonel was
going to praise him. "I always speak with
respect of the old General,my commander,"
said he—"/ would be the last man to rob
any man of any of his laurel." This he
said in an earnest and feeling tone, as if son
sible.that the party to which he belongs are
disgracing themselves by slandering Gen.
Harrison. Speaking further of the - Battle
of the Thames, Colonel Johnson said--"/
saw no recreants there—no man was recre
ant on that day;" and again—"TIIERE was
NO COWARD THERE, FROM THE GENERAL
DOWN—every man did his duty to his corm.
try."
Without expecting that our request would be
answered, except by ifs and buts, we have lately
called for publications from the Compiler, which
in conformity with the honest course ho professes
to pursue, ought not to havo been withheld. •We
have taken up the pen to show in this article that
ho has foiled to do justice to himself or Gen. Har
rison—that ho has equivocated, where denial, or
no denial was all that was required of him; and
therefore is determined not to adopt an honest
course of opposition to Gen. Harrison.
In answer to a demand made for the namo of
the one person in this county who served under
Gen. Harrison, and who is now opposing his elec
tion, wo aro gtcetcd with-4 , Givo us the name of
your men;' thereby flatly refusing to give the in
formation demanded. This is that schoolboy way
of getting clear of a scrape to which "impudence"
or presuming too much upon your follow, must
load:—
Tom says to Dick, "I'm going to lick you for
calling mo a liar yesterday."
Dick squares up to him with, "I'm randy for you,
now strike me, if you dare."
Tom. "Well, I will strike you too—just you
strike me first."
Dick. "You coma to thrash me, lia'nt you—
now you have the chance, go ahead or hush up."
Tom sneaks off, shaking his head, ..you know
bettor than to strike me—l'll learn you to call
me names tho first chance I get."
Wo have engaged in a canvass in which we
have an honored and sage candidate. All the ar
gument we need is drawn .from his merits and
policy, and the demerits and impolitic measures of
his opponents. If an assertion is advanced by
honorable opponents, it Will be honorably sustain
ed, or admitted to be a mistake—not bandied off
in a must puerile and contemptible way. Tho
people aro not thus to be hoaxed.

apt to cause them to (tequila of the government—
what the object of all this string of enquiries is.
The taking of the census, and the levying of the
moderate State Tax, just ordered by Gov. Porter,
will cause the eyes of the blind to be opened, and
the old exclamation to be uttered—"better to be a
beggar than a king."
The census-taker must know all the minutiae
of your business, from the value of the product's
of your garden, to the value of the coon and rob:
bit skins you have obtained during the year. Tho
object of this tedious routine will bo better seen
hereafter. Upon the heels of the deputy Marshal
comes the assessor, Who must know what Bank

of this most exact search, will be made known by
tho first of January next, when you will be saluted
by a collector, with—" Your State Tax is due, sir,
amounting to dollars." T he people must
soon believe that the privilege of living under the
economical, republican governments of Van Buren
and Poste: is dearly paid for. And what are the
circumstances under which this new tax, (THREE
rote more burdensome than the tax which Gov.
Ritner removed) is imposed.
The State was in debt upwards of thirty mil
lions of dollars before the late Legislature came
into existence; to pay the interest of which, and
the extraordinary expenses. of government, this
tax will go. ' Yet not regardinwourt embarrassed
condition, one improvement bill is passeil at. the

creasing the State debt near fire rail7ons of dol

and lawful interest is not allowed to those who
have su 'Teri ngly laid out of their money far several

—go home—attend to their avocados*. and return
to make the broken down treasury of the Com
monwealth pay them daily pay and xi
during their absence. Money is lavishly bestow
ed on some or the public works, to make some
show towards their completion, and that bestow
ment is sanctioned by the Governer, to the in
creased embarrassment of State credit- Would

cumstamxs, with bankruptcy just at hand. act
snort prudently in cutting off all exper.diture. and
applying all his funds to the liquidation of his
honest debts. "Be just before you're bountiful,"
should be the guiding principle now. The simple
state of the case is—the Le gi slature have appro
priated five millions of dollars. That money must
be borrowed, which they knew when they sanc
tioned it; and terry the interest of this new debt,
with that on the $30,000,000 already accumulated,
an ENORMOUS STATE TAX is levied, and
a law passed exacting it from us.
Will the people retain such rulers! Well they
confide in such public servants! Will they quietly
pay out their hard earnings in heavy State taxes
which are placed upon them at will, with every
prospect of their remaining on their shoulders m
til doomsday! It is for them to say at the Ballot
Box whether they approve or not. If the conduct
of the government is approved-4f all proper
economy is met—lithe taxes ere properly impos

them—let us vete for Mr. Van Buren, and thus
assist in sustaining Loco Foe° legislation, through
his influence in our own State. But if all is
wrong—if prodigality, and the advancement of
party interests characterize all the movements of
thu National end State governments—if we are
oppressed with taxes too heavy to be borne—if
millions of dollars are appropriated when there is
not a cent in the treasury, and when the same law
that appropriates the money, requires it to he har
rowed, and interest paid—then let us, with one
mind, determine to apply the corrective at the
fountain head, and when it shall have been puri
fied, all its tributaries will be cleanse]. Turn out
the National Executive, and the State influence
will be changed; new men will govern us, and
now measures will ensue. Reflect each man for
himself, baring his private and public Interests
for his guide. Try a caranae--it can't be for the
worse. Let your vote and influence be cast in for

VAN MMEN AND LOW WAGES. - It ap
pears that the cream of the wholo adminis
tration doctrine is founded in the following
extract quoted by the Troy Daily Whig,
from the speech of Mr. Tappan in the Uni
ted States Senate. Mr. Tappan is an ardent
friend of the President, and a trusted advo
cate among the pseudo-democrats of his
Court.
"The price of labor is entirely too high.
The laborer in this country can afford to
work for eleven pence per day, and the hard
money system will bring down wages to that
eum. Wheat will also come down TO Six
TEEN Ccrrrs A Besim,and every thing else
in proportion. This is the best tariff you
can have, and the only one that can enable
the manufacturer to compete with England.
The Sub• Treasury will (feet both objects
it will put down the banks, and bring wages
end every thing else down."
We ask the attention of airy candid citi
zen to thebe sentiments and the source of
them. To the honest and intelligent they
are an all sufficient index to the proper
course to be pursued in the next election
for President.
