Drew should interfere with the election, when he,
as well as Gov. Yell, the Banner and the clique,
knew that juggery was the engine with which 10

is it marvellous that he should throw his influence
into Gov. Yell's scal+sl Can any one for mo-.
ment suppose that these men-the members ana
tools of the Yell cIique--care aught for the demo
cratic party, its adhesion and strength other than
when they can use that party TO advance their
own interests! No, any one with open eyes can
easily discover that they work for self and sell
only. Do any hear of their working for the State!
What mea sure of benefit has Gov. Yell conferred
upon the State! Farmer, mechanic, merchant,

Has he freed the new settler from embarrassment!

no. Did his vote make SALT duty free! The
