Democrat, not copper.head, not a
mugwnmp. not Wall street spawn,
greatest good for the whole psople,
one who wishes to see every man
stand before the laws OF his country
and State as he does before his God;
the equal Of every other man; one
who wishes to sec the blessings OF
lGovernment descend alike upon ell.
