is the universal belief that he could be elected and
the only man that NIL parties whg, democrat and oppos
ZIONIST will unite upon. The may be said Of Sam
Houston for Vice President Unionloving men wish to
nominate candidates that easily be elected let
recommend them to name Wise and Houston.
Wise in his Union speech At Richmond touched the
ansprngs Of the peoples hearts They are all vbrat
ing now the tune OF the Union under Wises doctrines
as set forth in his speech TO the Students know he
could get south Of Mason and Dx0n's iue,
and 1t is equally certain that he has many friends North
II the universal belief here that he the only man that
could be elected IN the democratic ranks They all say
that man who could make 30 good Governor cannot
fail TO make first rate President.
Now would propose TO Union loving democrats TO call
