democratic party, Capt. Andrew Wilson,
whose ability and Democracy no orc

very men, who now, in division, class the
respectful deClinaton of old and respecta-
Ole Democrats with an advertisement for

One year ago yon could stand upon the

with politics, choosing to follow my pro-

or political strife. No man dispises such
things more than do. They are un-

can be achieved therefrom. In this l am

Il little more good sense and prudence, too
