the character of Republican candidate

these leading Republicans as Carpet
baggers' and 'scalawags > and Is Is

the eX-rebels should grant free pardon
and amnesty to the Union men; and
under all the circumstances this would

Breckenridge stands almost alone in
his generosity and the one unpardon-
BILE sin, in the southern states, still TO

publican, of n number of the leading
men in the Tammany convention, the

Blair and made the Democratic plat
form. Weare not fond of personalities;
larry the spirit, of the men who con-
trolled the Democratic Convention, may
be fairly exhibited as showing the
probable result OF their success in the
election in November.
