there were friends of Mr.. Buchanan in

man can draw his own inferences.-

We presume the Democrats prayed for
blessings on their common country
and putting their ''trust in God" and
every man doing his duty, they elected
old Buck. This cant about having call

days since. The Ashtabuia Telegraph
says that. "aside from the pecuniary as

of the material, is a heavy one, and
