since, being in company with number OF his
friends, and the Presidential election becoming
the topic OF conversation, was asked to give his
opinion upon that subject. He replied Il was .

expressing an opinion. This. however, did
not satisfy one of his Jackson friends, who still
insisted. The good man then observed: "My
prayer to my blessed father in Heaven is. that

claimed: "Why it's as clear rs the light OF the
