TO the assembling Of the Suffrage party That
paper says:-The people see the necessity of

assemble when and where they please, and
they have further right, guaranteed 10 them
BY the Constitution, to bear arms. Events
which are daily transpriDg teach Them the m-

arming themselves 10 resist the threatened al
