hostile to the Compromise'-h come out
for Douglas for President in long leader,
and by far the windiest and worst written
of nything we ever saw in the Editorial
columns of that usually clever, slashing

Hope and youth blaze before him success
already passed every contemporary competitor, yet
all may zee that the history OF this man is still

longs to 10 clique of old fogies-in Virginia or any
where else. With him all ranks OF the party-the

Scott says the nomination of Fillmore ia
Tennessee and Maryland is mere blind >

as ours, we shall endeavor to keep them
posted up henceforth until the meeting of
the Baltimore Convention.
