success. | know that they have looked to you, the
noble American people, the pioneers in the cause Ol
human freedom, for sympathy and aid in the cause
they were about to undertake. They know not you

fdence of their hearts they drew the sword, beleT
ing that YOU who had pointed the way, could not Tor
sake them when they but followed IN your footsteps
They knew not that there was any prohibition %
