those who counenance or encourage this sarage and
btood Thirsty practice.
Every father of family therefore and every cit
izen of these United States, who claims the least
pretensions to any kind Of reilly ious moral prin-
eple, is now called upon TO say, whether he can con
scipti0a y give his suffrage Tor person OF this des
eriptou to preside over him in the capacity of Chief
Magist ate Let the question also be put directly
20 The duelliSt, the gambler or the debaachee.-
Would he not rather give the preference to the
man Of regular habits and correct morals, with
whom to conHde his dearest rights and the govern
ment OF his beloved country The answer must be
obvious to every man Of common understanding
Was the great Washington ever engaged in du-
et? Had he for once unfortunately descended to
that debasement of character in the course OF his
bnlilanr career, his name would not this day shine
WIN such dazzling splendor on the rolls of i'm
mortal fame Were the names OF Fran6tin, a
Penn Rittenhouse Hancoct, or Jefferson,
ever darkened by SO foul shade Let the faithful
historian answer the question.
When men oil immoral character and disssolute
principles ascend 10 the helm of our government, she
will soon become the seof and derison OF the world.
Her national pride and national character, blasted,
she must, like all the Republics which have gone
before US sink into the lowest state of degradation.
The unbemi character Of the Head Of the Ma
ton, adds greatly to lis dignity and responsibility,
both at home and abroad while the example to our
youth, will be OF far more value than the mines oil
Peru or the gold Of Ophir."
