party. am afeared that Buck is not
cute enough. / wish. my dear Bill
Brown. that he was rs foxy as you are.
You noticed that he said to the Key
stone club that he "heartily approved
all the platform Now what neces-
sity was there for this? There are o
few planks in our platform that as lit
tie as possible should be said about
them in the North. Those fiIlibuster
and pro-slavery resolves were for the
slavery extensionists, and not for The
North; and Buck don't show any
gumption IN proclaiming to the North
in hot haste. when there was no neces.
sity for it. that he approves them
heartily. One after an other is drop.

the craft in elections that our beloved
Joe has.
Bill, don't you know what a time
we had in forty. We could not get up
the excitement. Van Buren would
not rhyme with nothing. and Tip and
Ty would rhyme with everything 10
Gods creation. l fear it will be j,si
so,this year. Buchanan will not
rhyme with anything but Shannon,
ana that won't do in the free States.

ty good at poetry-making, and can'l
make anything but the following,
which Mrs. Pringle says will not do
at all. / want your opinion on its
merits:
Hurrah for old Jim Buchanan
We will aid our faithful shannon
Tocrush out abolition- Tree soil,
And every thing that mnkes broil.
Freedom of speech. we under stand,

But Tor the true democracy,
Who'll not let the nigger go free.
Inalienable rights wc maintain.

For Jefferson meant only whites
Who posssss'd inulienable rights.
There. ifthat WON'T do TO sing n
our meetings, there cant be anything
got up that will do, for have tried j

The boys in the streets begin to hol

What right has Simon Pure dino
