proclaimed it the following language anticipating just

Such a course would bury the wings beyond hope of

And on the very day before the Syracuse wing conven-
ton assembled Mr. Fillmores immediate organ the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser had article in which the follow

State politics, the Advertiser says:
