Mr.. VOORHEES, was not in the habit Ol

self would have some difficulty in answer
ing This own question, but he did not
despair OF success. He would stand by
the principles Of his party, and vote fol
the man who represented them. He had
no fears OF what the Baltimore .Conven.

man who spoke Of the Democratic party
as that to which all the hauuts of dc.
