CLAY and CRIlTENDES, and MARSHALL, and
FlrTcul II, and CoMns, and BELL, and JONES,
stand by the homes of the ALIENS, the WAX

WEBsrEGs. Pretty much everything else Is
"cathcr and pruncla.' The conservatism OF
Vermont. Massachusetts,, Kentucky and len
ncssee are enough to "eavcn the whole heap"
and to furnish the Responding and dcspairing
with hope and confidence. So long as these
four States remain united, Secttondl,Sm can
not utterly destroy us,-though if any power
Of mere scctionallsn can do SO, that which has
resulted in the election Of Franklin Pierce Will
