As was expected, the Democracy Of
Old dthenS are beaten, but not dis.

had among us some renegadeS and
traitors, who, in times of prosperity,
could rally under the Democratic flag;
but who, coward like, went over to the
enemy 10 time of threatening adversi-

Band LETT, consisting Of over :hous-

such reuegades as Hard, oil Vinton,
and Ledlie, OF Meigs, with some

with distfust and detestation, by goCI
