AZ was our purpose, think it also that of a

Gulauon would subject this journal to the suspicion of

We therefore do now.declare our opinion in further

VINO ate opposed TO the principles of the dominant
party and to tie principles upon which the nomination
mas been made by the Baltimore Convention ought to
rally, and make head against that nomination with all

hence, for President of the United States 1t was for
want OF a raj ylpg point beyond doubt-because of dis
traction of opinion The candidates spoen of for b

change The astbarrier bet the Constitution and
