supporter of the republican party, at Pohick
Church, on Tuesday, he told the coiorcd men
among his audience that he and many more

soon be so numerous that the democrats would
not want aoy more recruits; he therefore ad.
vised them to come over at once, while there

also says that "when the white democrats OF
