deney; whom the Federal leaders we'll

u. Whereas we see no argument in all
this parade aud bufoonery, proving that
the present administration is corrupt, or
that Harrison would administer the gov
eminent with any more discretion, or

masse were more readily gulled into the
support Of any measure by appealing 10
and exciting their passions, then by re-
al argument or sound reason, Therefore,
