weapons thatthe 4ofies used in thief
endeavors to prejudice the public mind
against the fathers of the Republic, and
Ito cast odfum on the Declarations Of In

which the Opposition battered Jefferson
and his Democratic copatrfots. The
same Heapons that were employed by
the blue.fight Federalists, during the
war of 1912, against the democratic par

The same weapons with which the OPP

upon the Presidential question Their
conjecturcs are as plentiful as buckle

him; some condemn; while others labor
to snow that he IS beneath contempt,

shows that, while the great body OF, the
opposition claim that he is a seeand or

the mar, most to be feared in regard to
the Presidency. Their arrangements
for 1860 are being made. with regard to

1t will not do to bubble about dead

would exist as a party. a good many
persons are of the opinion that the de-

and lose every thing. , j
We assure the disorganizers in the
party that the hearts of tile masses arc
right. They are prepared to fraternize.
They do not 'appreciate the hair-split
points advanced by mischief makers.
ind they caro- nothing about them
They beg ofthem for Gods sake to- let
hem alone-to dry up the mischievous
md wicked %clatter which is destroying
,ur peace and harmony. We beg to
them that the people-the voters
want to be let alone; they want no
more confusion; they want no more

Ia re it. Is it the purpose of mischief
makers to break up the Democratic or
and drive the masses into 4
