Again. my fellow American c0uDtrymcn, do / urge
MOOT sou The necessity Of uniting al the elements TO
defeat Buchanan II was very easy for Us to dispose OF
M Fremont but what could we do with Mr. Buchan-
question because he has always been on both sides
ont time lie abused the Democratic party, and at an
oher be was the advocate OF Suatter Sovereignty. II
he Cincinnati Pla form is carried ont the North and
South iii be kept in continual hosiiity-Cuba will be
subject discord and the Ostend treaty will keep
subrced in war with foreign countries. With these
principles is there an American who does not de IRE
he cCeat of James Buchanan

Then, my friends, let US help Fremont to
ship Buchanan, and then whip him.
