thus remarks in relation TO the Convention
Of the oIa:
III Albion X. Paris is presented to me rs a
candidate entitled to my respect and ronh-
denee on account Of his sentiment, ard views,
how do know that am not asked TO vote
Tor an opponent : Has he, or have those who
recommend him TO Ine as entertaining views
with themselves, and thus entitled to my con.
fdencc, expressed \ word as to the character
OF thnss views i, is no answer to say tina,
ho was nominated by men who arc everywhere
regarded as sterling and true democrats, and
therefore his views arc undoubled for Il tia,
be 30. then he must be- a concentration Of
monprcl views. for It is well known tia: he
vas nominated by men entertaining entirely
different views from each oiher-and he be
a combinalion Of them all, ! fear mo much
that he may prove irue to neither.

bu, one thing is certain, Ike many others who
know entertain tie same views, shall never
throw my vote for man who IS not willing

a democrat Who was "mum," or wing who
bad expressed himself as opposed to the Ne

bu, rather than vote again Tor ono aho would
turn traitor 10 tho wishes and interests " his

the irucLIrag to roNor becoming a nero lick.
Spite and tool " ambitious men, would Dis.
card an party considerations and organizations
and feel compelled TO vote for a M,N-onc,
Who IN irving emergencies, II he could no,
consistently carry Oh, the wishes Of his con.

And irMr Paris should conclude Ilai the
wiser policy 10 To keep the people in ignur-
ance ofhis views ON these natter, fear that
they will be led to think they have no guar
anlcc that he is no, a symPiIhrsr with them,
and instead Of losing one or a few votes only
he will fndhImsclf Deficient 10 some thousands
