idle and ill.dIsested plans OF sectional I'm.
orovemculs, or suffer them TO lie idle, and

There is another general remark iha, |

form OF our Constitute promised TO de-
stroy The old local party divisions Of East

great danger We have TO encounter Is log

pie -" You vote for my project that you
don't approve, and III vote for your pro
ret that don't approve" The parent OF
this system IS local or sectional party sPirit,
and every patriot IS bound 10 hIs country,
to destroy forever this mother OF evil.
