anser the West, but the East is opposed tc
him; Seymour wood do the East, but the
West is opposed to him. therefore, after
givin the matter matoor considerasheu, hey
decided to propose for the posishen, the
name Nv Sethro /. Kippins, NV Alexander
county, Illinoy
hev the follerin reasons for insistin n
his nominashen.
l. He's geographically level By looGn
on the map, it viii be seen that that count
in Illinoy is the extreme sutheasterly pat
Nv the State. 1t is a Northern county Wit
/ Southern ideas. Across the river is Ke,-
tucky, west is southeastern Missoury, ard
east is lower Injeany. They grow Tobacco
there, and yearn after slave labor ez intene-
/ ly ez we do across the river.

Jethro L. Kippins hez never filed be
soundin trump NV fame With him on or
tikkit several pipts would be gained. IN
all the questions on wich there is a doubtn

1 Kippins is uncommitted He is unembr-
rassed with views, and on TROUBLESOME
/ questions hez nary an opinyun. The troU-
lie Pendeton hez with the greenbax wod
not effect him, neither would any Nv thm
other questions wich are ruther embarrasn
than otherwise He hez but one politial
principle, which be holds is enuff for nv
one man, and that is Democracy, ez it ez
bin, ez it is, ez it may be- He beleees
firmly in the cuss Nv Canaan, he holds else
to Onesimus and Hagar, and hez swor a
solemn oath that no niger shall ever mr.

ment, wich aliuz strikes a responsive couin
every Democratic buzzum, wood be emla-
zoned on the Kippins banner.

war question is happy He opposed all ne
steps Wich led to it, and when it inay
broke out, be proposed the only troo Del-
okratic way Nv stoppin it, Itwuz his on-
