the presidency first seems TO be carried
without being put to vote. Now, sir.
fam glad TO see that Mr., Jones and. Mr.
Johnson agree exactly in one thing,
however wide apart they may be on
other points That is, that they won't
neither of 'em move step in the dark,
nor stir an inch till they know where
they are going to. Mr.. Jones won't
vote for a delegate till he knows his
man, and knows exactly what that
delegate, is going to do. And Mr.
johnson won. vote for a president till
he knows his man. and knows he's all
right and isn't no slavery man.

and will carry out the safe neutrality
doctrines laid down by Washington.
