sketch of some Of the delegates from the North "a
the Charleston Democratic Convention; not that II
makes any difference at all with the Democracy
who are in their councils If they only profess TO be
good Democrats and aid in securing the spoils. II
such men happen To be in any wise affiliated with
the opposition, in the most insignificant movement
