The editor treats me somewhat in the light Of
convert to Democracy, by representing me as on
who last year supported and very materially
aided to elect the Republican ticket" Having
no distinct recollection OF Voting a Republican
ticket last year, the year before, or any Othe
year, and not having sufficient knowledge t.

late day it does me good to hate man calling
himself a Democrat, and who boasts of having
boited the Democratic nominee for President IN
1850, when he SAYS the Union shall be restored ii
the North is able or he is willing to have it pre-
served they can get new guarantees for slavery;
or if convention of the States can be had and a
compromise effected or this cruel war stopped by
an armistice and an assumption of the Confedef

Unconditional Democrat, and Dis such go tol the
estoration6f the eutire Union at every and all
hazards and costs and propose for myself to
never cast vote for any man, for any Office be it
ever so triaing who does not come I'D to the
standard ct Democracy IN war like this which

ic candidate for delegate in Congress does not DO
this hecannot have my support, and because Sans
uel @. Parks does It all, he can. That there are
goodmen, good Democrats on the Democratic tick.
