basest hypocrisy protested jealous friendship for Mr..
Buchanan, but at the time sought to destroy his
prospects by assuming that his nomination would be avail
able because OF the support he would receive from he
free-so democrats Of the NORTH II win be remembered
that promptly denounced its hypocrisy and vndcatsd
Mr.. Buchanan and the northern democracy from the
false imputaton, at the time expressing the opinion
which fully conhrmed that the object Of the Her
