nominated are " unknown to fame" having attain
ed to no general prominence in the State. They

doubted whether the names of many of them ever

fifth rate men may do well enough fur the !a,e
Wing party" rs the Forest City designates it.

them in nomination.
The soul of freedom has not only departed from

vote. No man therefore vote ihs Wing ticket
with any view of advancing Slavery interests
