conception of the mighty feeling exhibited on this

The Chairman, who claimed to be a Jefersonian
Democrat from the start, said his intercourse with
democrats 10 Csttaraugus and Eric counties was
somewhat extensive, and that this the prevailing
sentiment among them-that they had done all that
could be expected Of them for Mr.. Van Buren,, and
that il the leaders perssted in their present course
