The matter Nv a Presidenshel candidate
hez opprest me, and hez also exercised
the gigantic intellex who cougregatc al
the Corners. We hev desided that Chief
Justis Chase won't do. We kin support
him cheerfully, for his metod Nv conduc-
tin the impeachment trial hez satisfied us
Nv his hankcerin for standiu in our
party. Besides this, havin made start,
we consider him safe any how. The man
wich kin take nominashcn at our hands,
or identify hisself with us, may alluz be
countid onto. The Abiishuists forgive
sich, and ther amt no other place to 90.
When johnson and Doolittle and that
crowd left the Ablishnists, [ knew wher
they would land better than they did

mour wood do the east, but the west is
opposed to him. Therefore, after given the
mater matoor considerashen, hev desided
to propose for the posshun the name ov
Jethro X. Kippins, wv Alexander county,
Illinoy.
hev the follerin reasons for insistiu
on his nomiBashen:
l. He's geographically level. By
lookin on the map, it will be seen that
that county in lllinoy, is the extreme
south westerly part Nv the State. 1t is a
Northen county with Southern ideas
Across the river is kentucy, west is south
eastern Missouri and east is lower Ingeny.
They grow Tobacco there, and yearn after
slave lobor ez intensely ez We do across
the river.
2. Nobody knows him. The name
Nv Jethro i. Kippins hez never filled
the soundin trump Nv fame. With him
on our tikkit several pints wood be gain
ed. On all the questions on which there
| is doubt in the minds Nv the Democracy
Jethro l.. Kippins is uncommitted. He is
unem barrassed with views, and on trouble
some questions hez nary an opinyun. The
trouble Pendleton hcz with the greenbax
wood not affect him, neither wood any of
them other questions wich are ruther EN-.
barrassin than otherwise. He hez but
one political principle, which he holds is
enuf for any one man. and that is Dimoc-
airy ez it hez bin, ez it is and ez is may be
He believes firmly in the cuss Nv Canaan,
he holds close to ODesimus and Hagar,
and hez sworn a solemn oath that no mig
ger shell ever marry daughter Nv hizzen.
This noble sentiment which alluz strikes
a responsive cord in eyry Democratic
buzzum wood be emblazOned on the ban
ner.
3. Jethro L. Kippenses posishen on
the war question is happy. He opposed
all the steps which led to it, and when it
finally broke out he proposed the only troo
Demokratic way Nv stoppin it. 1t waz
his opiDyun thart We he'd no rite to eoerce
the South-that there wuz no warrant in
the Constoochcn for any sich perceedin.
"Ef Boregard fires onto Major Anderson"
sed he, 'let Major Anderson go afore the
nearest Justice Nv the Peece aad hev him
bound over to keep the peace. Eff he
Won't keep the peecc, and the Justis can't
enforce his warrants, why that ends it
We can't go beyond the Constoochen. -
After hostilities actooally begun, his posi-
shen wuz eminently satisfactory to both
sides. lie wuz in favor Nv the war, but
opposed to its prosekooshen. lie re

he made great sacrifices. Three other
sons he supported in Canada doorin the

4. Jethro L. Kippins hez all all the
elements Nv popularity. lie WIZ born
in log cabin-he studied Daboll's ari-

youth, went down the Mississippi on a
fat boat, wuz in the Mexikin war, and
