At the ides Of swallowing men who
were true to the teachings Of Thomas
Jefferson and the behests Of the South

q Wal is made upon those who
favored Secession in 1850, and
We regret to say that this
Congressional district is the exception.
A few days since the Democrats and
Liberal Republicans Of New York held
q grand mass meeting. Among the dis
tiBguished speakers invited was Hon.
R. NJ. 7. Hunter, Of Virginia, an orig

the invitation, visited New York, and

Of the South, and his words carried a
thousand times more weight than the
political bats Of the South, who were

for the renegades who slab6ered upon
original secessi0nists when the secession
banner waved in triumph throughout
the South, and who now stigmatize
their former idols as broken down trail
