II this spirit of mutual justice, appreciation, and for
beaance among the different portions OF party which
alone enable hereafter 10 unite successfully in the
maintenance of our cherished principles We deprecate
all elimination and all recrimnaton-all murmurs, com
plants, eproaches Where is the benefit of our quar-
reing with each oher' Why should the democrats Of
the West, of the North, rebuke the Souh' Our great
object should be TO unite party firmly together
upon our common principles against our common OPP
ponents. Now, forever, union is the secret OF our
strength and success The day is coming when we shall
want all force TO defend the ramparts of the cons
tuition. Keep the bundle of strongly bound to-
gether, and shall all strength and again
become irresistible Separate them one by one, by State
or by sectional lines, and the republican party loses all IFS
power Passion should part those whom principle
