Of March viii not, we knew, tind you r,cTean To
your aih Your people haseseen enough Of The
lnisIue vi Federalism aud AboIiii nsm com
bined, and you will redeem yourself from Their
thraldom. We hcpc AID trust that every Demo

determined that victory shall loilow The stan
da!ds Of Democracy, am that her voice in the
mex, House will he, a. i has been for years IN

In Rhode Island, may We no! hope that the
spiri; OF Democracy, which has 80 long borne up
asains, Ageiinc tyranny will al lasI triumph
ovei il, and send at east one good and true De-
mocfai 10 Congress
We have been accustomed 10 view the true
and tried Democracy Of has lille STATE as mar
tyrs in glorious cause. They have stood by
their principles like men Of The olien time, whom
The stake and The lacsul could 10; !fisnlcn aud
VIC have hoDored them Tor their zeal and d.vo-
i'm. They must and vii sooner II later, tri-
umph, and We hone and believe their time is al
hand.
The Democracy Of Connericat have only 10
make one srong and united eii,rt. and victory is
theirs. What they have 50 often done, ihev can
again do; and The crisis is one in which the whole
country demands OF ihcm 10 come up boldly 10
the rescue.
