casting aside the trailioe banner OF State Rights, and
raising alotlhe nvncibe banner OF Democracy, cheer

that, under all The circumstances, the election Of Gen
Foote as Governor, the Union members OF Congress,
the Stale Offers, and the Legislature, is one OF the
greatest poliNcal trumphs OF the age
