ceedng and consis ent with the views and principles
OF all true American cizens and that the obstacles
inteTposed 10 prevent the accomplishment of this
righteous purpose are worthy OF a party who borrow
their principles Of political government from the des-
poc administration OF the most tyrannica nations OF
