to be, the party of the democracy
Mr. Clayton pretends to nationality AT the very mo-
ment that his organ in Philadelphia is rejoicing over Sec
ona and fusion victories in the North and is cheering on
those who denounce the Nebraska bill because it repeas
the Missouri Compromise this Delaware senators gray

liked the act ls2O and that he learned from the

Clayton himself intimateS that the recent elections
