that our candidates have Withdrawn from
the canvass, for what reason we are at
loss to know; that their conduct is such as
meets with our disapprobation, and leaves
suspicion ON the regulations OF those men
that they were influenced in their action by
the merCeuaries of either Grant or Greeley.
Rcsolrcd, That under no circumstances
will we support either Grant or Greeley,
for the reason that neither of these men can
fairly represent the interests OF this party

identified with mere parties as 10 preclude
All possibility of either of them doing jus
tice to the working people OF this great re-
public: and therefore be 1t
Resolred, That we proceed with the bust
