through your paper, that in regard TO political
matters, we have turned 10 the risht-about, since
1910 We then acted with lhe Wings, believing
that they advocated The true Republican faith, Tor
which our to.eiathcrs conlended, bed and died.
But we have been convinced, long since, tia, they
ony rcsor,ed 10 those hypocrlica measures Tor
the purpose OF gaining iherend The promises
which they made during thclast Presidential cam
pai.n, provided they succeeded IN electnS fiar-

convince all who have been thus disappointed by
those whom they considered wise, and entued
with all necessary knowledge relative 10 the GOV

their departed leader And abou, thar time they
began 10 show the people that they were at the
head oil The government, and that they were deter
mined 10 regulate The national affairs TO suit them
selves, whether the majority Of the people were
satisfied or net and now. 10 fill up the measure of
their errors, and clap the climax over the whole
concern, they have chosen Henry Clay as their
candidate for the Office ofPresident. We have
said, and still say, that we cannot support him
The dcgeneracy and moral detilcmeni Of his na-

our backs upon him, and leave him and his con-
s;uents 10 fight the unequal warfare alone
We will support POLK and DALLAS al the

carry out those measures and principles which
constitute the very basis oil our glorious Rcpub-
lie, and upon which, depend The advancement, and
prosperity u Just rights and equal laws, among
all classes of the community
