Having been early impressed with these sentiments,
have aiocd in many hard contested battle for the

Subject to the fate Of most other good and popular
things, the democratic principle has been largely
connterieed and initiated by selfish and designing
that the spurious has in large degree taken the place
Of the genuine and the country has become thoroughly
Allied and corrupted with mock patriots and counterfeit

trust it does to every true democrat) is how shall

There Is also another organized section claiming
