charges "they have only failed endorse the Compro.

domination Of STATE officers
We shall despatch the two last OF these allegations first
In respect then, TO the third allegation have briefly TO
NY that is certain evidence Of weak cause for the

take themselves 10 counting the numbers of their tutors
II they felt confident of the defeat Of the National Dcnoc-
cy in New York they would not exhibit deep solcitudc
about the numbers of those engaged in the eort TO accom-

exercise ttlepaticncc and not rely implicitly upon the
declarations of journals completely abandoned and repu
dated Of their party as the Post and the alias The 0h Of

shout too loud before they get out of the woods
As the Democracy of Ohio they shall speak for them

to their constitutional duties. This it is enough
for the Republican. That all parties OF the North
