said had been proposed in the days OF fathers they
would have shouldered their Queen Amos muskets,
and have gone out to fight against it, and they would
have fought until they had conquered. Mr. Maynard
was severe upon the Know Nothings, and said that
though they might be successful at this election they
could stand another He thought that carrying
the lower wards for Seymour great triumph, and
that the ball would roll throughout the State gathering
