Tor Allen, of Ohio, Gov. Marcy, ~ York, and
the distinguished Robert j. Walker, of Missis

that the democracy would be safe in their hands
and the interest of the country would be well
guarded by the vigilance of those worthy and
talented men.

wirey set, and will swerve to any point of the
compass to accomplish object no matter by :
What deception they reach the goal of their am /
