attitude toward the alliance and the third
party. Col. Wooten answers the criticisms
and charges that have been made against
him in a clear and forcible manner, closing
as follows: For the benefit of those who
are SO ready to charge me with inconsis-
tency, repeat that my fight is not against
the alliance, but it is against the effort to
convert the alliance into third party polit-
zeal machine Whilst there is nothing in
my speech TO the Calhoun alliance nor i'll
my letter to Mr.. Ford, which l wish in any
wise TO retract or modify, there is likewise
nothing in them that viii cause me to abate
one jot or little OF opposition to all tenden-
cies and movements in the direction of a
third party, whether the same are or are not
connected with or springing out OF the
Cuthbert convention
