first be made to unite the whig party Eli p Farmer
If that fails, either George G. Dunn r. H. Rousseau

of the wings, that they will support George W. Carr,
is ali sham, lull you asleep. They will do such
thing If you divide you defeated. II you unite

Congress shall make no law "abridging the freedom
Of speech of the press; the right of the people
peaceaby assemble and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances"

Madison have given the opinion that CAREERS paper is
not Democratic.
Now CARRIER ought to remember that all men have
right to denounce him. and he has right to denounce
them. Every one has alright dict ,te the Of

speak and publish his expense whatever suits
him, and that other people free to hear not,

that che liberty of the press includes the right to compel
people To take particular paper, read it, and pay tor it.
Personally should have objections that sort Of
liberty of the press, provided the Louisville Democrat

good of mankind Il all required read it and it
would be for the good OF the editor decidedly, if all
