. broken faith, stated that you could not, IN
S any event. become the President, much
. less the creature, of party. Upon your
own solemn declaration, honestly advo-
catedsyou as 'fhe President Of the whole
! people"
II did not for a moment indulge the
thought thai you could ever become the
centre ola mele party administration. Had
been told, by you, than you would ever
become the head ofan administration made
up Ofwhig politicians, could not in any
case, have advocated your claims, nor
would you have receiVedthe votes ola hun.
drcd democrats in Pennsylvania.
II Now, General, the smoke Of the contest
has cleared away. You are the President.
Elected upon the faith of your solemn
pledges, you are the head of the govern
ment.

your own heart-call back that iron pur-
pose, that clear souled integrity, which
bore you through the carnage Of Buena Wis.,
ta--suryey the faces Of your, cabinet. and
the faces Of those partisans Of your cabinet
who now storm the White House for the
spoils of office. Answer mel have a
right to ask.an answer. You pledged your
faith TO me, an humble citizen, and i be-
lieved you, and told my fellow-citizens that
you had never broken your word, and could
not forget tomorrow what you pledged to-
day. i

mere cabal of a Partyl Did you lake
dupe Of me, so that might become your
agent in duping and swindl ng my fellow
citizens into the trammels Of the wing

You know that the wing party Of ITSELF
or by it's own issues, could never have &C.

best instinct which God implanted in his
naturc--could never have elevated you to
the presidential chair
You wefe elected BY democratic votes.
These v0es were secured to YOU by the
force Of your independent position. They I
