! Have we any other leader Some answer Il
that there is third alternative pre- .uicI ~ i.e
person Of Martin Van Buren, o! New York but :
it Is moi so. This government, is now nearly
scvenly.thrcc years old, aud there never was, j
and probably never will be a third party, which |
can securc the control Of the nation. (Cnerrs /
Il caunn, be CHEERS. Il is not best that il
should be y great Republic like ours must y
be stable in lis policy and It's parties-hence it
Is that mon are conservative in their political {
divisions, and OF the immense mass Of voters, {
comparatively few viii join third party.
Though this entire audience might be- persua-
dcJ to swell the united corporal's guards who :
have deserted the two great political armies,
your fathers, and brothers. and friends will stand
fast and remain on the old Flneuil Hall plat
form.
hold that we must make up our minds to
elect Gen. Taylor or Gen. tass--if we mean to :
elect Gen. Taylor, We must vote for him--if we
mean to elect Gen. Cas- the most effective way
: is to abandon all principles and vote for him. or
We can aid him by voting for some one else,
which is in reality giving him half vote. But
why can we not conscienously vote for Gen.
Taylor. They tell US he is II Stakeholder. True,
: but he is nominated our cindidate-we did
, not nominate him. and the practical question is,
: what shall we do now he is nominated Nor
do understand the conscience which hpsitatcs
r between two things for one oftwo things must
be preferable to the other. There is an all-see
ing eye that looks into the hearts of men, and
for my own part. am not afraid when it sees
