subject:
AZ think il due to the president-elect
that the Democratic party and the
country should await with patience
and confidence the appearance Of his
inaugural address and first message,
for in those alone think will be found

south with relation to its probable
effects on that section ?n
II cannot, said he, make "a better
answer to that question than to refer

the South into hearty relations witt
