We deem it our duty to the Democrats of this

The above extraordinary article appears in the Repub-

is not mentioned but understand it is meant. when
the charge is made Of printing and issuing Wing Electo-

by its good Wing authofty' its assertion
No other Tickets than those containing the names of
the seventeen Wing Electors, and headed by the names
Of Taylor and Fillmore as candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, have been printed or issued from
this Ofie. Nor did we at any time. ever entertain, for
moment the idea Of printing issuing Ticket such as
