confirmation of that sent in this cor

his State would be for Parker. who
would in his cDaniefs) opinion. be the
nominee at St. Louis, and adding with
reference to the proposition that the
south should indulge In some degree
of self assertion at ST. Louis.
The sum and substance Of Senator
Daniels remarks was that IT will APP

manding precedence, IL seems about
time for the States which furnish most
of the votes to raise meekly voice

This deliverance, IL 1t presages an
