Rallying under that banner, let us appeal to that
People whose patriotic exerons led us to victory in
the late glorious struggle. Let invoke the action
OF the legislative councils of the sovereign States of
lis ted by heir
ents let them ascertain and express the public will in
relation TO these grea, questions; and especially let
them, within their respective constitutional spheres,
exert themselves TO give it effect.
Animated by these principles, and guided by Prov-
dence, defeat is impossible, and triumphant in
evitabe. We may confidently hope that vast numbers
OF our fellow citizens, who have been hitherto separa-
ted from us, will unite with US under such glorious
standard; and that maorles in both Houses of Com
Gress sufficiently large may be secured carry any
measure demanded by the welfare of the nation, in
spite OF the lnerposltion OF the power with which any
one man may have been accidentally invested. Dis
appointed in hat, if such should be our lot there will
remain the hope Of amendment, OF the Constitution
curtailing the Executive power And if that should
fail, we have only 10 10 the noble example of our
ancestors, TO Tecoeci the duty we owe TO ourselves
and posteriiy and to bear with manly foriiude three
years longer the sufieungs inflicted during the last
twelve years by the mai administration Of the Execu

the consolation Of rejecting that in the mean time #
the President can prevent the attainment Of all the
good which Congress is DESTROYS TO accomplish, Con-
gress may check prevent Of the mischief,
