IN The ascendant before election and they contend
that Their POSITIONS both State and national are the only
true positions for the people of the country but uoio
tunatey Tor them. the people OF this nation and OF The
Old Dominion IN particular, have placed much re
lance IN their assertions and little in their principles
The Gazette is an old federal paper OF long service in the
cause OF that party hence the opinion of that paper in IA
