 Fellow.eiiisens: We are on 2 greas, nsrch nsr to the triumphant victory cf the principles of iheny over 1 executive power. If we do not accomplish it, the future, own appears to me full of darkness and of douht. II the American people shaR sanction the course and the principles of this adminisra,on, for one, though have been thought hitherto of rather sanguine temperament, shall begin not a little to des. pair of the republic. But will not despair ol it, The. public mind is aroused men are beginning to think for themselves, and when they do this they are not fur from right decision. There is now an at tempt on the part Of the administration, ho seem be- ginning at length 10 fear for the perpeuity Of their power to excite a feeling Of acrimony and bitterness among neighbors Have you not seen this particu lary of late in the adminis,ra lion papers, Be above t. tCries of ,ee uiii-sDe are, mingled with cheer ingl Tell your neiehhOrs that are all embarked in one cansc, and that we must sink swim together Invite them, not in hunting, but in generous and questions of the day, and to see they can give good and solid rensons why there should no. be change Yes.

Let us revie nobody-let us repel nobody. They with moderation and coolness the great topics of public policy, and eDdcavoR lO bring all men of American heart and feeling into what sincerely be- lIeve !o'be, the true AMERICAN CAUSE.
