Monroe .Jo1rndl week or so ago, | saw
a call upon the American party of Mon
roe County, to meet on the l2ph inst, al
The court house. e

object has been, TO obtain office and infiu-
rce ly any means, fair or foul, within
their reach, and that they stand ready at
any time to sell themselves and their par

had any,) to promote what they conceive
10 lie their personal interests.
