of the American people, we do not think
could have been made. That these selec-
tions will be hailed with the highest enthu-
siasm by the Wing party, in every part OF
the Union, we do not entertain solitary
acubt. That the success of the cause, in
which We have embarked, will be Identified
with the real interests Of the country, and
secure wise and faithful administration of
our national affairs, the experience OF the
past warrants the belief.
tits hardly necessary at this time to en-
large upon the character of the illustrious
individual who, we confidently anticipate,
will be elected by the vote of his greatful
and admiring countrymen to the Chief Mag
istracy Of the Union. His character and
history are too we'll known to require any
encomiums from us. His history adorns the
brightest pages Of American annals; and
having, like the Father ofhis Country, sery-
ed her long and successfully in the field,
we doubt not that the same ability which has
distinguished his military career, will be
.evinced in the administration ofour nation
al concerns.
Nor is it necessary thatwe should admon-
ish our Wing friends of the Importance OF
union for the success of our cause, or rather
for that of the cause of our common country.
That they are united, and that they are su--
perior to the influence of any sectional jeal-
ousies, the result of the approaching contest
will, we think, incontestably prove. The
greatest danger to be apprehended is, so
great confidence in their own strength, as
to induce them to relax their exertions for the
triumph of their cause. Victory, we believe
to be within our reach; but let it be COM
plete, signal victory--a victory that will
overwhelm our opponents. Let our whole
strength be brought to bear upon the COM
ing contest. Let no fair and honorable
means be left unemployed to prevent the re-
turn ofa party to power, which, for sixteen
of the past tweny-three years, has been un-
der the control of men whose ruling passion
has been selfishness-who have not hesitat-
ed to adopt any measures, to av6w an attach
ment to any set of principles at one time, and
to abandon them at another, if by so doing
they could secure to themselves the reten-
ton of power dishonorably acquired. Hav-
ing obtained the confidence Of a majority OF
their countrymen by hollow professions OF
patriotism, they have subsequently abused it
by acts of political prohigacy which must be
fresh in the memories of all who have be-
slowed even moderate degree of attention
upon political matters during the period
which intervened between the accession oil
their party to power in 1929, and its election
from power by the voice Of justly indignant
people in 1910, as well as in the Presidential
campaign of ls4s.
Let us then, enter with alacrity into the
coming contest. Whatever may be our pre-.
dlections for the distinguished individuals
whose election we are desirous to effect, LEI
us bear in mind that we are to contend fol
principles--for the adoption of policy that
will eventuate in the promotion of the inter
ests Of our country, by the development oI
its resources, the protection ofits industry;
and which, while it will render us less de-
pendent than we hitherto have been, upon
our great commercial and manufacturing
rival, will secure to it q permanent prosperi'
ty, free from those fluctuations in business
that have been the causes of such widespread
distress, so much deprivation of employment
of our laborers and mechanics, and which
will create for the agricuturist home mar
ket for the sale of his productions, and Sc
cure for him an ample compensation for his
tolls.
Considerations like these, should stimulate
US to the most active, unremitted, and siren
uous exertions, not barely for the election ol
President and Vice President, but for men,
bers of State Legislatures, on which the
choice of United States Senators will de-
volye, as well as for the election of Repre-
sentatives in Congress. Thus, by the joint
action of the Executive and Legislative de-
partments of our National Government, the
objects at which we aim will be successfully
accomplished, and the truth of our princi
pies fully and triumphantly tested.
