that hundreds Of Democrats and also Republi-

not this prove that the true Issue OF the cam

Such being the real issue, Il only remains 70
show that Ssmuels is . suitable leader OF the
party, and one Of the strongest advocates in is
for the extension OF slavery. At home theirs
is no disputation on this point, and abroad Y
