and discontinue OF the hirelngs of the Federal stye"
Mr. Willard is ga workman that need not be ashamed
He is every way most amply able to be a triumphant
standard bearer Of the Democratic Flag. The Demo-
cracy may be Justly proud Of such MANN any posi-

and clear in the avowal OF his sentiments all the
great questions Of the day that divide the two great par
ties Of the land He is powerful reasoner-a warm
patriot-an eloquent speaker. He deals in sedgeham-
logic faets-tose facts too that load the Wing par
with those iniquities under whose pressure it will
never be able to head up in Indiana.

old she darkey, certain "Dinah." He made several
false allegations, of personal character, all of which
he very promptly and honoraby took back" the sug
gestion and correction OF his opponent He also made
several grossly incorrect statements Of statistical
kind which he corrected by sfnoaer yarn,v or O
skunk oink Of the eye. He (Mr. Williams) would not
