Hamilton having bankrupted his chances of
promotion through the people Of Texas, by
his Incorporate, malicious and vindictivc

That the abolitionists north will provide
eventually for Hamilton there can be very
little doubt; that they may do SO for Peasc
and Bell is also quite probable; but that
the rag tag and bob-tail the human Carl

pointed Of their bone, and will sink so low

poor crecpers will be smohored in their

through the ballot-box on the 4th Monday
in juno next. Every patriot who loves his
country, its Constitution and the rights we
orce enjoyed under IL, should rally TO the
support of the Conservative Union candi-
dates, and by SO doing to the support of the
President. 1t is impossible for any honest
man to profess himself to be a supporter Of
both the President and the dominant ma

metrically opposite-thcy are now openly
at war with each other-the President has
so Informed the Connecticut electors of the

He did not consider those who oppose his
policy as belonging to the Union party
There should be no misrepresentation in
this matter; he considered the welfare Of
the Union depended upon the success Of his
restoration policy. The question, said he,
of my restoration policy is now the para

principles of my restoration policy nrc

policy and that of Congress at the same

These Texas Radicals would lead us to
believe that oil is harmony at Washington;
that the present Congress design us no
harm; that men can consistently support
] both sides without being considered knaves
or fools. Our clearsighted people however,
will see the matter as the President sees il,
and will consider that those who are not
for him are against him. Down. let us
reiterate it, down with Radicalism in Tex
as. Let us rally to the support Of the brave
chief who has interposed between us and
the vultures; let us come to his aid by
