we stand upon the abyss Of destruction,
to which we have been hurried by the
mad schemes of the present dominant
party. We must make one last desper-

reason and argument to convince the
great mass Of the People of their political
errors. Bat they asnst be reached through
their sufsrings. And more especially is
Ihis the case with the GERMANS. Ac
eustomed, in their own country, TO look
to the Government as the dispenser oil
good and Of evil--of prosperity and ad-
