The Houston Telegraph signifies it's preference
for Judge Reagan for U S. Senator,-s its choice
now. and has been for long time. The Iele-

kind. The prefix anti to the word democracy defines
the Messengers position, and very properly excludes
it from overy species especially Jackson democracy of
the olden time. ~la 9egE

His Union Ticket for President and VicePresident is
offered to the Conservative Press and People of the
United STATES. Judging from their extravagant no.
tions it would seem that the Opposition press of Eek
