Offering us as the nominee man who has denounced

Leave us free from taunt and insult; give fair dsn
ocraic nomination, and we will march up 10 il like men,
and we will be-where we have always been in our den

column. We will bear yon on to victory and when vic.

The State rights democrats will never be found u,a
ing into any party. We ask nothing of our Daay,l
brethren. II we support the nominees, as we sIecn
do, il will be done, not for pay, but labor oe
love for old party assoclaons-love OF principles. which
we hope, are not yet quite extinct, and which we ar
slow 10 believe will be extngnished at Baltimore. II We
fail 10 support the nominees, II will be because they
such as ought not 10 have been made.
We make no professions Of love for the Union. k

devotion 10 the Union, because we have seen no aemp
10 destroy it, and have therefore seen no necessity

sorb the reserved rights OF the States, and coHsolda
them as one State. Against this danger we have us
our warning voice. Ii has not been needed and ds

Laudation OF the Union is a cheap commodity Ii

popular election, they have no IDEAS OF patriotism, al

tlcmen few moments ago TO nterrogaie me, thai
