Gratis desired to know Judge Crumps views upon
the subject of Native Americanism before they
could vote for him. Some years ago, when the
Catholic churches in Philadelphia were burnt and
when there was great excitement here about ii, a

(Mr D. did not know whether Mr.. Crump in that
reply, advocated Native Americanism or simply
attacked Mr.. F's radical views, and he wished to
learn from Mr. C. himself, whether he did then
support, and would now, Native Americanism.-
Under no circumstances could he vote for man
who gave the least countensnce to the Native
American Party and the masses of the Democrat
ic party would not do it. He wished clearly to be
understood not charging MIR c. with being
Native American-but he desired to hear from him
on the subject before he voted for him. He (Mr.
D had stepped from his retirement simply to act
with reference to the best interests ofthe party.
Mr.. Appleyard thought it would have been wiser
if the gentleman whs had just spoken had stayed in
his retirement and not stepped forth from the
tombs of the past with an old sbinbone in his fist.

living, not the dead. The Native American Party
was dead and buried-let it rest in peaca. Let the
dead bury their dead, and not attempt to rake up
and scrape up the old decsying dry bones. (Laugh

ocrat-a man of talent and one of the first men Of
the party-he trusted that he would be nominated
Mr. Denoon said that tbs amusing remarks of the
gentleman did not affect his enquiry at all. The
Democrats could not support Native Americanism
and keep the party united. He did not, as he had
before stated, charge Judge Crump with being
Native American, but in like manner, as Mr. Apple.

Patton was in favor of popular education, would
