hankertn fur standin in our party. Besides
this havfn made a start we consider him
safe anyhow, The man witch kin take q
1ominashen at our hands, or identify hisself
with us, may alluz be Countid onto. The
Ablishnists never forgive SIGH, and their
amt no other place TO go. When
Jonson and Doohttle and that crowd left
the AbishHists, / knew wher they
would land better than they did.

preioodis agin the flag he drawd his sword
under. Pendleton wood anser the West,
but the East is opposed to him. Seymour
wood do the East, but the West is opposed
to him. I, therefore, after given the mat
ter matoor considerashen hev decided to
propose for the position the name nv
Jethro L. Bippins, Of Alexander county,
I hev the follerin reasons for insistin on
his nominashen:
l. He's geographically level. BY lookin
on the map it win be seen that that county

Nv the State. 1t is Northern county with
Southern ideas, Across the river is Ken.
lucky; west is Southeastern Missoury, and
east is lower Inieany. They grow tobacco
there, and yesrn after slave labor ez intense
ly eZ we do across the river.
2. Nobody knows him. The name OF
Jethro L. Kippins hez never filed the
epeakin trump Nv fame. With him on our
tikit several points wood be gained. On all
the questions on which there is doubt in
the minds of the Democracy, Jethro L. Kip
pins is uncommitted. He is unembarrassed
with views, and on troublesome questions
hez nary an opinyun. The trouble Pendle'
ton heZ with the greenbaX wood not Affect
him, neither wood any Nv them other ques-
tious which are rather embarrassin than
otherwise He hez but one political princi-
ule. which he holds is enuH for any one
man, and that is Democracy, ez it hez been,
ez il is, and ez it may be. He believes
firmly in the cuss of Canaan, he holds close
to Onesimus and Hagar, and hez sworn a
solemn oath that no niger shall ever marry a
daughter of hizzen. This noble sentiment,
which alluz strikes responsive cord in
every Democratic buZzum, wood be emilia
Eoned on the Kippins banner.
8. Jethro L. Kippenses posishen on the
war question, is happy. He opposed al the
stems witch led to it, and when it finally
1roke out he proposed the only troo Demo
Eratic way Of stopping it. 1t wuz his opin-
yun that we he'd no rite to coerce the South ;
that there wuz no warrant in Constooshen
for any such precedin. 'Ef Boregard fires

Justice can't enforce hts warrant, why that
ends it. We can't GO beyond the Constoo-

his posishun was eninently satisfactory TO
both sides. He WuZ in favor nv the war,

The war bore heavy on him-he made great
sacrifices. Three other sons he supported

the unnachral strife.

Nv popularity. He wuz born in log cabin
