preaching when the people of the United
States are called upon to elect Prcsi
dent and Vice President according to the
mode prescribed by the Constitution

Whereas, the candidates Of both the
friends Of the country and their enemies

made tool OF by the traitors and their
dupcs who lately assembled at Chicago,
has lost the confidence of the loyal peo

contempt of the community
