n id Aboiitioui.l Well. I warned tho
people .ha, all this would happen. and that
di.union would come. They have got tho
bull BY the horns. nov let them manage
him IL they can. For my part am viii
ling TO stand back and look on. and lie. them
destroy tho country II the people are such
fool. a. to vote for black Republican rather
than Democrat.
Cd Dem.-Accordlns to prc.cn. indica.

war seems to be upon us. Four States have
