next, aud there and then nominate a stern old Wing for
President, and an American for Nice-President, the ball

them into successful operation. There i a large major
ity OF men in this city and in this State, who have no
sympathy with any such Republican fruits-these men
would regard with horror the doing OF any act, by any
men or set OF men, that would lead TO an outbreak of
the negroes South, Many persons in the Republican
