conucils Of the nation, and they who nvcbcen de-
puted 10 be the legal agents of the people have
spred to be their dictators We mast wrest tho
Government from the hands of unfaithiul men or
consent be slaves.
Resolved, That the enthusiasm which has burst
forth from the great mass Of the Amer lean people
is the best guarantee for the stability of our Govern
ment and the integrity and intelligence OF its CHI
zens.
This is no ordinary movement. Tho nation lash
ed into fury by the sutierings inflicted 10y the hd
niinstraiion, have arisGa in the might of their
strength and demand relief 1t IS the cause OF the

Gen. Harrison has lived for his country, and the
History OF one is The glory of the other In all sill
nations he has been the advocate orliherty, Of equal
rig ms and the poor mans friend The possession
OF a nations treasure has not corrupted nim, nor
the. charms of power turned HIM aside from
dut v; but when the call of his country has been nm
sv cred he has re tu ned to private ife III the en-
oyment Off reputation which despots never knew
and which none but enemies of his country will
seek urnish. With such man the Jewels of
this nation safe.

merican industry one of the grent duties of the
American Government. Without protection the re

most nhlect OF Europe'S day la,nrers.
We want n home market and his can only he
ctactually obtained by protecting tariff. Tho
people need This protection, they must have it, nag
jheu aoW hare it. The wages of labor must not be
reduced in mockery OF the sweat and toll Of hon
est industry.
The wan, of protecting tariff unnecessarily be.
gets dependence on fire ign nations, than whic h
nothing he o!ious and autiIrpubcan

but highest prosperity 1t was beautifully said
by Gen Harrison that mast look tn home fer all
that home gioe. a.

mustration to divert it from its righttul owners is
at breach of faith and hostility to the Union.
This treasure has found guardian in Gen, fiur-
rison and by his foresight and patriotic endeavors
no has made it conducive to the happiness of mil
lions. He has Brought whole states into existence
and they delight To reverence hun as benetactor.

say men have been found willing to rob US of our
right.

Manifestation may be eassed under the heads-

The hostility Of tho Administration to industry
