Your scorchng yet truthful exposition of the unscrupu
ous course pursued by the wing administration meets
with deserved appreciation from every democrat in this
vicinity Many who had from various causes cooled in

young whgs who, tired with defeat under the guidance
taught began to be Disguised. fondy hoped that by uni

party composed OF the moderate of each party adopt the
popular opinions of each, pursue a careful and shrewd
