gentleman induced him to notify the fedora! organ
that he desires intercourse, has no feelings in
common with paper that while protesting democ-
racy is endcavoring to disorsanizc the party.
MIR. Norris is man who profes.ed democracy be-
cause he advocates democratic principles. He will
not wear democratic coat, to promote the desem,a.

his private interests conflict with the interests Of
the Democratic party.

reckless and selfish and so completely devoid of
all principles Of honor, that to carry out their own

bank bills OLA less denomination than $40. The
wisdom Of the Legislature will determine O, this
matter.
