Franklin county Democratic stamp, accusing

other ground, without the VIII OF the slave
holding States, even though they are in open
rebellion and claim 10 hnyc scce,icd, and then
trying 10 make the House adopt the decoction
of treason as the re-afIIrrnation Of the Union
platform The lluuse very sensibIy laid the
trick upon the table, whvreupon secession
