The Janus. faced Proteani- Who ought
to be believed-the Convention OF 40. |
which held up Gen. Harrison as the .or
thodox politician. as the old-fashioned
Jefersonian Republican'-beca He
went against asBank of the United States
On, the Convention Of "A, which cries !
up Alr. Clay for his genuine Republican,
asn,' when he goes for Bank of the u |
nited States? lfthere was not want of
candor, or "a want of firmness,' some I
where, we are puzzled 10 know who can
be guilty of either. If they were honest
in going for Harrison and Bank in
1910. then never did any set Of politi-
clans jump Jim Crow more expeditiously. |
If they were not for a Bank in 40, then
what are we to think of their candor and
honesty at that time? Take which horn
Of the dilemma that is most suitable TO
your taste, gentlemen. Mr.. Newton
dopts the last horn otthe alternative, and
honesty ascribes their course at once TO
a sOaf,t Of candor and aoant Of honesty.
