old Crop. Farmer g., since l last saw you,
have traversed the county and district put thngsin
order dictated this town what to do, and to that
one also who to support. l have seen all my old
friends who have not joined the Wings, and got
them most actively engaged; find the people are
not with us in this section, us well as in most parts
of the country. Van Buren, is losing ground at ev-
cry SUM- light must be suppressed, and the people
hoodwinked, or party is gone hook and line
Farmer G. What measures have been a.
dopted 10 hold the people in ignorance?
o. C. No measures, Farmer IT,, we must
adhere TO the old text, and cry with the Star,
federalism; it will never do to refer to principles.
II. G.. fear you will lose your cause you do
not offer the people any better reasons for support
ing Van Buren, and his creatures. Nelghbor d.
SAYS the sin of federalism lies at our own doors
and begin to believe 1t to be So Charles Lindsey,
an old fed of 1912, is now in nomination by par
ty against VIM. Slade, an old republican, as men,
Der to Congress- this makes two old feds we are
supporting for Congress; the people know this, and
our CIV of federalism is but weak subterfuge for
sinking cause; if we have nothing more to support
the party it must go down,
o. c. 1t must not 60 down; if | am ruined
forever; the Wings have no confidence in me; my
name and person is odous to every honest wing;
shall be beggard in my old age if this administration
