Democrats, Beware:

The industry and zeal with which our

indebted for his nomination and election
to the very men whom he now endeavors

defeat of the Democratic party should put

the Democratic party? Their sympathy
and their influence is with the Republican
party, and it is to that party they are now
allied and will in the future lend their sup.

them as enemies, and take heed that they

But we have little to say in regard to
the boilers. Leave them alone, and they
will soon fret themselves to death. We
only desire to put Democrats on their
guard, that they may not be led astray by
the plausible stories and oily words Of
these pretended friends of the Democratic
party, who are endeayoring to secure its
defeat and become the champions of mod.

on the lookout.
