I Andrew J. Harlan.| This person now occupying the position (of high private in the Republican party; | and as corporal to John U. Pettit, has | heard the cries of their candidate for help : and has consented to render his political • twin brother, timely assistance, and if ! possible save him from that defeat which ; awaits him.*j lie has announced by large posters j throughout this county, that he will ad-[dress the citizens of this place on the 8th I inst. He does not say that he is r liepub-; lican. No! That would be an exposure j and he would be unable to draw rs re-i spectable an assembly, as in days past,j when he was a Democrat. But the citi-\i zens of this county well remember the po-j treason of this same Andrew J.| Harlan, how that he, Judas-iike, atterop-j led to deceive the parly with a kiss, and ~ J sell them for less than thirty pieces of i silver. He occupies the same position,(! and should justly be held by every Dem-t : ocrat, as Arnold was held by the fathers ; of the Revolution. No person should ' have any confidence in what he says politically. He sold his party! and is now ; in the fond embrace of those very men : who were his political enemies. His back is turned upon his fbrmer friends; andK « ». he has become the slanderer and vilifier ofs ' those who once sustained him. s * Then Democrats, if you dispise polid-l cal treason in your party! If you hold in . 1 contempt, as you should, a traitor to your g | party and principles, treat this man with 1 i that respect he deserves, and let him re-' | main with those that love traitors and ap-: plaud treason.
