which will control the election.
From the number of candidates now out un-
der the Jackson question, and our New Court
party divided between Jackson and Adams you
viii readily see the indispensable necessity of
this convention, so as il possible, to produce a
concert Of action among The Jacksonians, or
at least among the New Court republicans.
At wors, we have to choose between the evils
which the Aristccrats of the country have
thrown us into, and if we can only produce
concert of action do not despair but we will
ultimately succeed
The. proper persons are out in Oldham invit-
ing members 20 this convention, and if we sue
coed we will try and see if we cannot successful
ly impeach some of those gentlemen justices
who so outrageously expelled you from the
bench. s-*-s-
