been accustomed to believe. We thought I

Now for the particular terms ofths ;on-
tract. The Commercial also publishes
the substance of one of the pledges,
which were administered to the members
as occasion required. The following was
sent by Townshend and Morse to Gen.
McMAKrN, Of Hamilton county, for sigma |
ture, upon the eve of the election OF As
sociate Judge. 1t will be remembered
that Roll was the infamous Clerk OF that
county, who violated the law aud his
oath Of Office in giving certificates oi cleo
ton to Pugh and Pierce. His term was
about to expire; now read the pledge:
PLEDGE.
| hereby pledge myself TO vote for j.. G.. Roll tor
Clerk Of Hamilton county Court OF Common
I Tleas, provided he is candidate, II am eject
| cd Associate Judge.
The Commercial says:
"Tbese. il must be confessed, are not the exact
words of the "Pledge," but they give the sub
stance of what the real original pledge contained.
TO the honor Of Gen. McAIakn, we saw his an
swer in his own hand writing as follows:
II respectfully decline making auy such pledg-
os" (SignetD JOHN McMAKIN,
1t is needless to say that Gen. Mona
KIN was not elected. a man by the name
of MooRE received the nomination of the
!, Locofocos and Abolitionists and was of
course made Judge. The pledge how
ever, forms an important item in the chain
of testimony, which the Democracy are
bringing forward to convict their treach-
erous leaders. AS jurors sitting in the
case, we invite the special attention Of
our Democratic friends to the evidence.
