rabIe for their political treasons, their

their false ISLANDERS upon old political
friends, and for their union with the
enemies Of the Democratic party
Therefore, We hereby distinctly and
deliberately expunge theirnames from
the catalogue Democrats, denounce
their treachery. and say to our fellow
Democrats that they are unworthy oil
their political confidence.
The only ofense charged against
these gentlemen is thst.they refuse tc
abandon the principle laid down by the
Democratic party in this State In is

for the Territories, and ought to exer
else 1t so as to exclude Slavery. This

taken away by Catholic Priest
The whole OF the statement was after
wards contradicted. Mr.. Keplinger,
the ticket and freight agent at the de-
pot, denis d that any such cask had
been received or claimed by Catho.
lie Priest. The Revenue Democrat
of Wednesday intimatcs that the
whole denial is quibcle. il was not a

weapons. A correspondent, whose

writes in that paper:
