that lko's caroworn appearance was

that his bowels were not effected, but
that heavy legislation was cifccting

Office has expired, and, therefore, he

therefore, much excitement was mani
fcsted. All seemed to think that there
was great danger that the niggcr v
will become the equal of Democrats
tell you, Mr.. EDIToR, that in look

conclusion that il is high time for
Democrats to become alarmed upon
