This conviction Mr. b, declares he hns aff.

considerations which have forced it upon him, i

In addition to these reasons for withdrawing
his confidence from the Democratic party, Mr.
Borland says that elements have been intorpo

Mr.. b. gives Mt length his reasons for obi ect-

ing effect of the inidel and agrarian principles
which another GLASS ofimmigrants bring with
