over fifty Northern Democrats in the present Com

Southern allies But here's what the Press says:
II begins TO be more than manifest that scarcely
anybody can be elected to Congress from this corner
Of the continent who voted for Lecompton. The

Southern measures when anything important is at

the assumption that there viii be large Black Re-

disguise the fact. Those who attempt to do SO may
be honest and welLmeanng, but they are unsafe
