up the rotten side OF the Democratic party to
his counHymen, and prove to them by argument
from which there could be no appeal, that the
Republicans we're their only friends in the past
and would continue to be their only friends in
the future. He said, during the holding of some
national fair in Chicago, they had abundance
of proof of this fact; that the Republicans had
subscribed to them $10,600, and the Copper
heads 0nly $500. Compare, said he, the two

the Democrats became so outraged that one man
