SO loudly calling upon her to act.
NY article was intended for the special
benefit of the Editor of the Democrat,
but | cannot End much fault with him,
because be has deemed it proper to put
the Job of replying "out," for should
not like to tempt to reply with such an
array Of facts staring me in the face. l
cannot, however, acquit this Hamilton
of censure, because be has attempted to
pervert the truth of the case.
He, in the first place, sets out with the
assertion that Mr.. Keller "misrepresent-
ed the Democracy in the late bogus Con.
vention," as he calls it. The fact is our
Delegate did not intend to represent such
dollar and cent Democrats as the editor
of the Democrat and such like "Whlpper'
ms" who say they are placed "on the
watch tower of Democracy" for the pur-
pose of lashing honest and sincere Dem
ocrats into the harness Of this slave-dri-
wing administration, for the reason that
they have not got gutta purcha enough in
their conscien to N axe the mselves believe
that the treacherous Leconpton Democ'
racy, is all right. Our Delegate did pre-
cisely wha. bis friends desired he should

probation.

This is a clear iDtim alton that our Del
egate has changed bis coat three or fou'
times, because be repudiates. with every
-incere and well informed Democrat, thi:
treacherous principle deserting, Lecomp

coats on the part Of the anti Lecomptor
Democracy. They stand where they die
in 1856, when we all battled against th'
Republicans in favor OF our "favorit,
SOM" and when victory was won, we al

hearts ardently expected good to resul

But how sadly we're We disappointe'
when we found our trust had been betray
