horns and tails, mingle together this evening in
ward assemblages, 10 select delegates to the State
Convention, to be held at Syracuse, on the 18th of

the proper time arrives, their voices will be heard

pledged to partizan favoritism, who will thus be
elevated TO the Presidential chair in spite of NOISY
