The great staple OF whg talk for this campaign has

Such pretension gives the lie TO all our history
Why, wbg policy had pedomnated IRON the nrsts al

By the elder Adams. would have been excluded from al

they not competent TO vote from principle. and that
they are expected TO vote from prejudice Which party
then, has commenced this work II IS the wing party
which has brought up this issue II is the whiy party
which has attempted TO show that candidate is dsn-
tilted with those who have by suieiance allowed the
Catholic test to remain in the constitution Of New HamP
shire Fortunately for u.s. II was Immediately shown
that General Pierce had BY speech and by PEN opposed
this test. Still, the wings sticking TO their lie with

This is direct presumption that foreign citizens are
