1t seems clear that he hez all the quail

born nv poor parents, in a poor year, and
in very poor Stait. His father died
when he wuz so young that he didn't re-

after, aud when he wuz left a poor orfun
tomake his way in the world, he refer

8. His Dimocrasy is entirely satisfac-
tory to me. He temporarily abberated,
but when he returned, he WIZ fiercer than
ever. He clambered a long way up the
mountain NV Ablishen, it is troo, but
when he fell, he only sunk deeper into
the mire nv Democrisy. We need never
fear to trust sich man.
4. Hez a incurable hatred NV the Alb
lishnists. When they woodent receive
HIM corielly on his various toors, he
swore eternal hostility to EN-. Herce we
kin depend upon his bein troo to us.
5. Ez further guaranty NV his faith
fuluess, may say that have 1t from the
best authority that he takes only whisky

alizin fancy beverages wich sedooct him
while in the bonds Nv inikity and gall NV
bitterness.
There are other reasons, but these are
sufficient. Let us put onto the ticket
with him Henry Clay Dean, and the ar
rangement is complete. We hev the
North and South represented, and the In
tellectual and non-intellectooal wings NV
the Dimocrisy. l love Dean. Ez he
stands before an aujience in all his greas-
mess. feel that there is suthin In him
we are bound to admire. l close this ar
