Awarding you the honesty and pa
triotism that We have ever claimed
for the democratic party, we have a
right to expedite demand-that
you viii permit love Of country to
predominant over party, when the in
terests Of that country, the future
purity of the government, and the
perpetuity Of our glorious Union, is
at stake. And, as it is possible, by
an improper selection Of a Preside Mt,
that these great and desired ends
