To the pure republicanism the sturdy indepen-
dence, and proud democracy of Pennsylvania, il is
scarcely necessary TO appeal,
The main stay of the republican party Of the

that were to distinguish and divide Democracy from
Federalism might be well defined and preserved.
At later day, and when the an-republican dog
mas of the elder Adams had assumed garb that
concealed their hideousnessshe reused the slumber-

To the whole democracy of the Union, we would
say, we present you candidate against whose in
tegrity even the voice of calumny has never been

defy the magnlng Influence of our INSCRIPTIONS
adversaries to mpeach. A candidate who received
his democracy directly from the lips Of Thomas

country distinguished military services, and whose
recent triumph over the statesmen OF the old world,
in defence of American honor and American inter-
ests, has united the fame of the civilian with that
OF the soldier and patriot.
Such is the man that we call upon the democracy
from every section OF the Union to bring into the
field.
