they should thus be assailed through the
columns ola Democratic paper. They are men
upon whom the South has leaned in all her
troubles. They have been faithful, consis-
tent, unwayering supporters of the party. |
Without variableness of change or shadow of !
turning they have sustained Democratic men
and measures. They have insisted on the |
equality of the South, and maintained her |
constitutional rights, and if they have ever |
erred it has been in her favor Prompted by |
an ardent patriotism, they have felt it their |
duty to oppose Douglas This is the head |
