by one class ofour .oi,lseus had NOT

desired that during our future political
campaigns We would have no more crying
Of Rebel mud Bushwbacker," by ona !
class of par,iznns. to be met by the taunt
of Radical and Proscr'ptlonist.' BY an
other. but il seems sir, BY the communities
Ition referred to, that some men arc so do
based in ,he scale Of humanity that they,
have been entire strapg'rs to that which
"covcrs a multitude Of sins" and are pev,
Ter so con,cuted and happy, as when they
engage in opening up somo old sore, and,
bathing themselves in its putrid and pf. !,

In tho communication alluded to, the
point aimed at, is that the Democratic and
Conservative party did not nominate for

affiliated with our party ever since tho
close Of the war, who wcro rcady and will.
