defeating their party. land of losing The State !!
Away with such.sclfish and despicable a%spiTants !
The man who, al such a moment rs this, will
press his claims beyond The bounds OF lnodera-
ton, and refuses 10 listen TO any proposition from
his competitors. his political friends or the com
mittees Of vigilance, which j. calculated 10 select
but one candidate and concentrate the whole vote
upon him is unworthy OF the confidence Of the
people. Away with him "L.et no such man

Fans, and teach them wisdom by experience
The man who will endanger the success OF our
party by pressing his personal claims, should
be looked upon as a traitor 10 the best interests OF
his country, and receive the censure OF all honest
