John @ Davis - our candidate aud ~ right
on the great questions u the day. and il j.
ihs duty. as we'll II will be the pleasure Of
the old line party 10 his support
This j. part Of an article vritiea by Col.
Cookery IN the Journa. of Wednesday. The
article is an effort to turn the minds OF the
people against the sves whelmisg ex position Of
the perfdy, ingratitude aud wiekedness Of the
democratic candidate for Congress That ex
position IL 80 vitheTing in all its effrets-so
crushing to the future prospects Of John e..
Davis. that no effort Of his friends can save
him. and no united action Of the old line par
an honorable man. That exposition. which
will 20 iato the hands Of every voter in this
Congressional District. shows the Hon. Ex-
Representative not only 10 be an Migrate. but
a selfish corrupt demagogue. Men OF honor
able impulses will forever mark him as un-
worthy Of their confidence and support
Men who are msa. will turn from him a. vir-
tue turns from vice. He cant escape the od-
am that hangs around him-b cannot sever
himself from the ness.ed contempt and ohio
guy his own selfish ueachery has brought
upon him.
But a. Mr.. Cookery - determined to be
John G. Davis's warm frend-ss he, Spaniel
like. has resolved TO lick the hand that snites
bim-as he seems to regard the kick from an
officials boot. as the greatest compliment that
he can reeeive-ss he loves Ais friend. M. Da.
rss. xe will here. just for the Colonel's edi6ca.
tion, show how Mr. Davis loves him.
On the 9Th day Of March. 1854. the HON
John G. Davis expressed his contempt for Mr.
Cookery. in the following language:
Cookery Cookery = Cooierly' Nov

and a candidate about 6ye times: that's nia

this

Aud still Grafton crinses before that "ar
ticle Of furniture" Who entertained this highl,
fa,tering opinion Of his merits.
Again, on the 18th of the same month ",
find that the HON Mr. Davis has not altcres
in his love for Nr. Cookery. bot writes IN
following:
