finished, offered said resolutions, they would
have been overwhelmingly voted down
We leave these tTicksters all the glory they can
hope to attain by this low cunning practiced upon
the Democracy of Decatur
Mr.. Robinson left the house as soon as he had
finished his speech and DR.. Mullen too, left as
soon he bad finished his. The Administration
democrats did not choose to stay and hear anti
Administration speeches. They antici pated the
passage OF no resolutions upon any subject :
There was no organization at the meeting-no Of
ncers were appointed. ~
We confidently assert that at the close of either
MIR. Robinson's or DR.. Mullen's speeches resolu-
tons could have been triumphantly passed by
the Democrats sustaining the Administration and
Its Kansas policy. And we further state that a
majority Of Democrats of Decatur county intend
to stand by the Administration and the National
Democ racy. An Intelligent gentleman iswiliina
to make oath that not over TWENTY-FIVE voted
lBlaek Republicans and all y on the passage Of
the resolutions referred to.
