Levi %. Vhts (Iunker) lie took the plat
form cheerfulIy, aud thought he was not incon'
sstent, even though last year he helped kick the
Burnburners out of the locoioco party. The
Fact was, he sad tina, things had since occurred
to warrant this change. FIRST, Taylor's election
by shareholders, because a Shareholder, as he
said and to prove this assertion, he quoted the
votes OF the Southern States, showing that lay
lor had gained largely upon Folks vote in 1914.
But he diFni quote New York and Pennsylva-
MIA. Second, the Calhoun Convention Of Southern
Members Of Congress, which made slavery the
great question, TO the exclusion of other matters
but here Mr.. " forgot to say, that, almost with
out exception, the men who signed the Calhoun
address were his brother locoiocos of the Coss
school, The next assertion Of MIR. V. was that
the Southern Wings are for extending slavery
which is altogether too broad TO lie true In
truth, there is u strong anti extension spirit IN
the South, aud mainly in the Wing party
Hence the defeat of the Wings in Virginia
hence the Locofocracy of the South (the "brelh.
rem" Of Villas and Co. in Baltimore, are ralylng
upon the Calhoun platform of Slavery and Dis
union. Fiptll Mr. V. probes ed that he didn't
want to look behind, to see what they had been
doing but ahead, upon what they ,coud do.
M. Hastings Liberty rejoiced that The Lib
erty tree planted at BUffIlo was sprouting so
obundan,ly during the spring rains. 1.-THE best
horliculturs,s recommend close pruning OF the
sprouts and suckers, though, in order to make
trees bear well you will have to Iop off some OF
the bad suckers, or feed them of the expense Of
the fruit
M Stansbmy (Whigl finally consented to be
called out and among mass Of baderdash and
abuse Of his old friends, gave really cutting de-
scription of that spurious democracy which holds
slaves. We thought that if any democracy was
worse than til s. 1t was that democracy in the
free States which fra,ernzed and sustained the
spurious slavocralic article. Mr.. S. was careful
not to say this, howcver-perhaps out OF kind
ness to his now brethren.
NJ. Chiicnden Qoco) reminded his audience
that last year the Wings complimcned him for
Abandoning the liunkers: he hoped they would
be as complimentary now to The repentant iiun
kers As to the Wings: he complained not al
removals--in his opinion "to the vctors belong
the spots" but he did complain that the wings
had made removals when they had promised moi

been removed. No such PROMISE was ever
made: moderation and justice rerc promised

the day Of Senator Bentoh's appeal; but the big
gest day he thought would be that in which ''th

Mr.. - argued very pertncnty that SLAYER
is opposed TO education; and couple Of gentle
men from Randolph, Liberty men in 1910, who's
names we could not get, rejoiced that their pros
poets appeared so much brighter than usual
One of them suggested that if slavery was IN
only thing to divide parties upon, then all othe
questions like the Tariff, &c &C. would be wise

ofthe people could act free from party restraint
Very WE'LL them knock slavery out of part
