not to talk pOliticks anywhere, and moi
to open his head in Pennsylvania, and
let him gush eZ long and cz loud ez he
wants to, the moment he strikes Ohio

This wuz agreed to and Horris COM
promised on it. Fernandy charged him
pertikerly on two pints, namely, to con-
SLATE the s0lger element in Pittshrg,
which he coold do by general remarks,
and the niger element in Kentucky.
