the Democrats Into CONSERVATION. An
investigation was had, however and II
was soon discovered that no such hO0X

The description OF the slave camp came

portion referring 10 Mr.. Polk had been
interpolated by the Chronicle.
The revulsion OF sentiment which fol-

Wings brought against him later, they
were dismissed from consideration with
tho contc!nptuoua remark, "Oh, that's
Just another roorback."
