This barefaced herrsy insulting to the

None but the wayward and aihess would be wiling 10
lose sight OF principles, and follow men through their

Let 1t not be said lasting reproach to US, that
have at this late day apos;atzcd; i. U.s. by met

used that have become tired Of our principles and
voluntarily change them. Dhonor Sould attach the

The eyes Of the whole country are turned to our
