And this was after the sole remaining

the bidding Of executive usurpstiOn this
at the very portals of the palace and with

INDIANA, too, has come nobly up to the

bugbear Of conspiracy, with the mock
solemnity Of a mock trial before packed

OHIO-the heretofore loudly herslied
and defiant stronghold of your adVersaries,
to question whose loyalty to all the abomr
nations of all the inc"ngruOus political and
social mischiPts of the time, was deemed
rash and insulting, Ohio has given 20 you
