never been wing or free thinker, and il

he utters in the face Of the nation from

the Afghan war which the nation regard

illumes The British nation, and that when
ever a war does occur il will be- attended
with such 'unanimity and with suci. tho.

whole power Of thepeople will be put forth
to punish the wicked aggressor. The
councils Of the nation and the energies of
tho people will be no longer divided by
contrary opinions. 1t will not be wing
