He farther binds himself wherein he
does net fit and please, that there shall
be no charge made, and hopes from the
satisfaction he has already given 20 gain

cut out and made by him, shall be done
in worllmanlike manner, and in the lat

who wish to have work done by him,
shall have it done in the neatest manner

the country and wishing to have work
done by him, and who want TO deal in

THE CRISIS


The late Proclamation of the President has
spread far through the North and West deep and
heartfelt Joy. But will 1t calm the mighty storm
gathering in the South! Will cur brethren of
that disturbed section repent and change Z" Will
" obdurate pride and steadfast hate" Il bow and
sue for peace 2" Or will! they provoke tine strong
arm of government to fall upon them Alas IL
dings from that quarter already shew fearful omens
that theirs is madness not to submit or yield"
There ,ciH be shedding Of blood. But let every
true American, every friend to the Union and
his Country stand firm by the Constitution 1t
will stand, it will be supported, though il witness
the shedding Of brothers. blood II in madness it
for time be deserted by the South, the North
and West will not yield. Though Civil War
6rench towns and cities with blood let US,
while life be spared stand firm by it and under it
for in The darkest hour IL iriH be our srest refuge
If we must have war and strife, as the conflict adj
vances, all eyes will look to 1t and seek refuge un-
der ITS broad banner. Our venerated fathers con-
trived it. the patriotism of nation embraced it,
near fifty years of unparalleled happiness and pros
pcrity has confirmed it, and an admring world has
locked to it as the'last hope Of freedom And we
trust in God it will yet stand, in unimpared
strength and beauty, far into the distant FUTURE as
the Constitution Of an unbroken Union. J#***
