Such are our convictions, ard sach We believe
will be The conclusion Ia which all Tree soil
Wings will come on due reflection"
Towards the close OF The Address, we find
them thus contending for their fired prin,iple:"
"Having served in the Wing ranks, mos III our
friends will be found al their posts at the day OF
election The tree soil doctrine being with them
f1ed princip!c, and not sposmodic en0iton, they
will b W al their accustomed wing altar, and not
be found going after strange gods, which
neither they nor their fathers have known"
We turn away from this abhorrenl ard dis
gushing picture, 10 tribute &c The honor and sense

with the true, loyal aid union-ovins sentiments
which pelvaae the Address .. The Democracy OF

We regret that helenglh Of this article pre-
vents us from making other extracts from it. The

sents with renci 1 light the grossly equivucal

candidate has but onopiniou and aspect on this
