Offices from which hope TO remove the present
incumbents.

country, have agreed with extraordinary unanm'
nifty, to support General WILLIAM HEsRY HAIR
Rrsos, for the Office Of President. We believe him
to be an honest and faithful citizen, who has served
his country successfully in divers civil trusts and
we believe him veteran soldier, whose honor and
bravery cannot be questioned. We give him our
unhesitating confidence md in that confidence we
shall support him and the distinguished citizen OF
Virgins who has been nominated for The Vice Pre-
sidency, with all our hearts, through the present
contest; convinced by their election that the true
spirit of tho Constitution will be restored, the pros
porty of the People revived, the stability of our
free institutions reassured and the blessings OF uni
on and liberty secured to ourselves and posterty
