other primary election to accommodate the
boilers? Every sorehead in the city Is
amongst them, and it would he as foolish to
undertake to satisfy them as it would be to
to induce Senator MORTON TO cease
t?lling lies concerning the southern people.
Besides, who would trust boiler? If the
result didn't silt him he would have as much
reason for boiling again as hehas for boltirg
now. If, however, the boilers should gain
their point, their conduct now would be an
uuans vera BILE reason for another bolt in the
