privileges whilst YOU are their active opponents
You owe something to the memory Of the Illus

lives for independence in this country. BY thoif
labors you are permitted to stand here under the
capacious dome OF the Temple Of Liberty, enjoying
those privileges which Montgomery aud Dskalb,
and host Of Of kers fought to achieve. You have
important duty TO perform, and If you wish to
preserve your own integrity, and rghtsss citizens

the coming contest in opposing the party which now
attempt to get possession Of the powers Of the gen
