some wild theories viii get abroad. and
hear the Democrats preachinr-the great

the wealth Of India, aud found there the

New York and the State Of Ohio lie
drew attention 10 the unparalleled In.

cratic rule since the time the city was
handed over TO them by the great whig
party. lie also called attention 90 the
mockery with which when unobservcd.

Lrounds for the Democracy assuming 10
cary a Solid South and spoke warmly on
the loss Of life resulting from the Missis.

The speaker called the attention OF his
audience to the researh he had made Of
the statements Of all the Presidents con.

on the part OF the Democratic Presidents 1
