perhaps that large number ~ the most respectable
democrats the Union in this city about ago

with 1t may not advisable put IN action till
great national issues distinctly presented. This
and the want OF time prevent ne from taxing any part
in the present canvass In this State elsewhere But

rcservain in favor Of carrying on the war until the
