can be effected, majority must be convin-
ced of the ruinous end to which the country
is now being brought. The past must be
looked to, and the future dreaded ;--the pres

1 thought to myself this morning as |
came to this assembly, that spirit of re-
form was abroad-that the people wished
for new rulers to preside over THEFT destinies
as nation. Where will they find one who
will triumphantly and safely lead them
through the dangers which now surround
them? Turn your eyes to the farmer OF
North Bend, and call upon him to take
charge Of the administration Of your Gov
eminent. He is the only man that can be
the savior of the people from bankruptcy
and ruin. 1t seemed to me, as we came
here an hour ago, as the roll of the drum
and the note of the fife fell upon my ear.
and as our banner tapped in the breeze
that the battle which we have been fighting
for eleven years-one year longer than the
noble Greeks we're engaged IN reducing
proud lions walls-was about to be termi
mated, and the victory would be ours. GU
HELEH is yet in the citadel, and she mus
be rescued. We will flock to the standart
of our ACHILLES, and strike, if it be th'
last, noble blow in Liberty's defence
