is-wha, he is---what his aniecedents-
We know not. We know nothing abou,
him, except tho. he publishes very
weak "eyg. rum.snd' .oddy" paper. yclept
the "Ohio Pennant." Said Pennant,
by the bye. reminds Us Of certain rag
pennants. stained with poke berries, and
hung sbout tho corners OF some old de.
lapidsled stable during the dog days.
The Ohio Pennant is the resurrectctl

him from the Democratic fold, and send
him over 10 The disunionist fre.eaters Of
South Carolina! That locality is just
suited to his moral constitution. How
admirably he would serve the purposes
Of some planter who wanted creature
that could amuse him, and which he
could despise!
Says The "Ohio Pennant ::"-"IAs
Times is ene Of the most bitter abolition
papers published in Ohio" This asser.
ton is pure, unmixed falsehood. and
"GEo. w. NELSON" knew il to be such
When he pennsd it. The TINES is an
democratic paper, and opposed to the
extension Of slavery over territory now
free. This was orthodox democratic
doctrine in the days Of TuoMAs JEFFER'
SON. With the Democratic masses-the
propLE-it is orthodox still. But to the
muddy head Of "GEo. w. NELSON"
