The true Democrat., 1856-05-06

That we regard all those, who, from sinister motives, published their withdrawals from the Know Nothing party, and are aiding and abet- tlng said party, as evolves in sheep's clothing" and warn all true democrats to stand aloof from all such ".Julases"
 That we invite all patriotic whigs, who are opposed to the past and present policy of the hho" Nothing party, with its many sectional, pretermlttlng' and "ignoring" platforms, to unite With us under the democratic banner which | IS now proudly floating upon the southern breeze, ana oo battle for the common good, the constitution and laws of our country.
 That inasmuch as the Know Notbipp party is enveloped in silent secrecy, we the demo. crats and anti Know Nothing whigs of Pope county, deem it proper and expedient to guard against its ant-republican principles and mode of warefare, therefore be it
 Resoluea, That should this convention nomi- nate any man who has affinity to the Know Nothing party, and the same shall hereafter be ascertalned, they will no longer feel themselves bound to his support and will nominate man who has proven himself to be sound on the po- htlca issues of the day, supporter of the con- sttution, the religious and political rights of of the American people.
 That we will support and use all honorable means to secure the election of the candidate nominated in accordance with these resolutions
