Whereas, our political opponents are already
in the field, organized and disciplined for the aP
preaching campaign, they are fully aware that
their political existence as party depends upon
their success at the aext presidential election,

watching ever remembering that "eIernal ylg-
ilancs is the price Of Liberty.
