Mr.. Moses Mayer, through the col w. ~

f this place, has the brazen pre- ii
umption to issue his bull of advice CT
o the party he always belonged to, Of
md to which he yet pretends to be fe
attached, and in that advice he GER B
,ainly sticks not only his hands, feet re
and even his huge nasal organ deep 10
into the nasty miro Of the Democra- !"

a silly urchin of himself, and only con-
vinces me that he is permitting him =

he should have added, to make NOM
nations for our party.
The Hon. Moses Mayer says, this
will never do, but I say it will do;
it is just, right, proper custom and
time-honored, and in no other way
have we succeeded to mass our ford
ces and conquer the enemy. His
balderdash about a Mass Meeting
shows the cloven foot and his asser
lions about the Executive Commit
tee arc mere fabrications of his own
over heated and over-balanced brain;
what he asserts about proposition
being defeated, never occurred, and
is only the invention of q self-inter-
ested caves dropper, who made Moses
swallow this to suit his own sinister
motives. That silly talk about
rings, etc., is played long ago Moses,
has long since been consigned to
, the bull-rushes, and is only nowadays
restorted to by those who neither
command the respect or have the
confidence of the people, or those like
, yourself that are getting in their DO.

of their party are falsely attacked

of that the Mass Meeting will be calle
