Gen Sam Houston

HAS, III an ;tfIlCle upon INC IeA3S nONll-
nation, says:
Cen Houston is the man for the times.
Born and reared in poverty and hardship,
he has been schooled in adversely. Train
ed in the-army, under the eye of the
Hero of New Orleans, he possesses the
| iron will of his illustrious preeeptor, as
has been exhibited on the field of battle
and in the Councils of the Nation. Hav-
ing experienced all the vicissitudes of
life, no man in the Union is better quail
fed, by a knowledge of the secret springs
/ of human action, or of human law and
/ national wants. to administer this gov
eminent with honor to himself and to
the credit and prosperity of the nation.
The time has arrived when q man of the
resolute purpose and indomitable will Of
Old Hickory is needed at the head of our
National affairs: man who feels the
weight of the oath he subscribes a man
who can 'be just and fear not;" q man
/ who will execute the lars. and suppress trea-
son and notification wherever attempted.
! irrespective of persons, and sections, and
! regardless of consequences. In our
! humble opinion, Gen. Sam Houston is
/ that man.
| On the ticket with him we would place,
and have placed, Hon. Henry NJ. Fuller,
! of Pennsylvania. As man of sterling
worth and of tried integrity. be is worthy
! the first place under the Hero of San
