its pledges was unfenable and was no
argument why the people should re-
main in bondage and make no fight

will never give US free coinage and the
eastern Republicans say he will if he is
elected and are doing all they can to
/ prevent his election 1T is case Of
you'll be damned il you do and you'll
be damned if you don't"
