! Mr.. Graham, we say, omitted 10 recall this fact to
the recollection of his hearers in his late speecb in

= the Presidency whom the Wing party in 1852 discar

ton at Baltimore was called with the hope of bright
enng the dark prospects of Fillmore, and of getting
l. up sort of enthusiasm in his favor. Its members

n talent and most distinguished members of the old
c Wing party openly take their position on the side
d MIR. Buchanan in this canvass. Something must b

sinking, an expiring 1t was tried and failed
