ciples, strong hearts, and good heads and are
the most Of them, sure of being elected They
are men who will show that the doughfacedness
and milk-and-water policy Of Clay and Cass
Webster and Wbitcomh will be sorely rebuked
when an opportunity offers and that their doc
trines are far behind the age
Yours, most truly,
Henry II. De WoLF.
