These detached and garbled statements wholly
pervert the meaning of Mr.. Bu>kirk We did

bers oi the Administration party. or that the Al
mnistration party would msrder the wives and
children of the members of the Democr tic party

the crimes, horrors ami enormities that would be
committed; and we understood him to saw and
TO mean, that men OF all parties would go down
together aud that OR property would be de-
stroy ed. the State made de-ulafe. and that orr
wives and children would be involved in the
common ruin, destruction and massacre that
would ever, where exist in the State.
