DEMOCRATIC SPEECH.-On our first page
" i'll be found full grown aud out-spoken
speech. We are not in the practice ofpub-
fishing the sentiments and arguments of our
political opponents in this form. but know
ing that our readers would not be able to
read it in any Democratic paper. north of
Mason IL Dixon's line. We give it to our
readers, and advise them to hand it to their
Democratic friends to be read by them. 1t
