inquire TO what purpose; and a. no satisfactory
answer has been given to this question, and nc
evidence Of disloyalty, or dishonesty or inem

We say to legal men, of oil parties, We have re
nominated Kirkwood and Lowe, because theJ
are honest, patriotic, and capable, and deserve

ask your support Of these men, because they
are thus faithful, not because they are Rcpubli
cans. By adopting platform from which Wal
carefully excluded everything Of strictly par
tisan character, We have met you half way, and
removed every obstacle to your cordial cooper
alton with US. you believe that the Admin
istraton is false to its duty and the country and
that it ought to be removed, you cannot coop
crate with Us, and We do not ask it II you be-
lieve that the traitorous Democracy, who put
forth their platform and their candidates few
weeks since, should be restored to power, and
that the reign OF the Buchanans. Floyd, Cobbs
and Davis's should be re-established, you will
oppose us; and could not, consistently, do 9TH
erwise. Thus stands the case; and no amount
OF sophistry can present it otherwise to an IN
telligent people.
