fish Democratic paper in the city of
Boston, of the Ultra Hunker stamp, t. be

prominent men of the South, who fear they
have been deceived by mere words, and are
beginning to enquire into the antecedeats of
men, to know who are reliable.
There are supposed to be men of distin-
gushed ability in high positions, whose
anteceaents are not calculated to inspire
much confidence ia their political integrity.
