cuin and Douglas, i'll the course OF which
Mr.. Lincoln more than once assailed tie
Supreme Court uI the United STATES, quite
rs vigorously as jefferson and jackson had
done before him. In a speech at Spring

year. however, the railroad vote and
the railroad money is solidly against us,
on account of Governor stones fight
against them last election. The Poruiist

State and county contests can be set down
as certainly against US.
.'Our Uncle Richard Bland Is staying
at home and attending strictly to his
own affairs. He needs to do this, too,
for the Republicans are massing their
strength against him and intend to repeat
the lesson OF two years ago"
