strongest evidence of your sense of the high claims,

engraved his name on the heart of every Ameri-

lightning blaze of Monterey and Buena Vista.

speeches delivered in exposition OF the life, char

made through them to circulate Newspapers and
documents to inspirit, to confirm, or to inform

most inspiriting. The Wing party 81 Pennsyva-
MIA will present a united, determined, and a
victorious front, in the ensueing contest. Already
