"Honest John Davis" In consequence, they are at
tempting to head Mr. Lucius Botwood. Among others
the massachusetts Spy of Worcester protests against
this "Ihird Party, and appeals to the Aboionlsts to
vote for Davis. II is well for us to notice The manner
in which the appeal is made-as it shows how much
greater affinity there is between the Abolitionsts and
the Wings with John Davis, than between them and
the Democrats with Morton Werequest every South
