The time is Mt hand when the people of this ma
ton will be called on for an expression of senti-
rncnt as to the principles which shall govern the
nation for the next four wears. 1t is not, prima-
FLY, to elect Scott, Pierce, Hale, that we are
called on to vote, but it is that We, the sovereign
people, may declare our principles, and neither
Scott, Pierce, or Hale has any importance, except
rs the representative of principles This is an i'm
portant point and should be kept clearly in view.

be well established and duty with reference
TO own best interests be made plain | know
the mass of voters desire and design to do right
/ know they seek their and their cOuntry's
best interest and as a consequence, they only need
to and know the right, to embrace and follow
and practice it. Let Us then III spirit of candOr

this man or that not in the success of this party
or that, but i'll the application of true and righteous
principles IN the administration Of the government
1t is of little importance to us, at thi, time, that
Scott fought at Lundys lane or ut Mexico, or that
Pierce gave a boy penny TO buy stick Of candy
or that lac did or did not faint at Courcrs. These
are not the questions that now involve interest
and it is therefore unwisc forus to allow aten-
ton to be engaged by them TO the neglect of mat
tiers which really important, 1t Is of little i'm
portance to 10 know where these men come from

conventions cannot BY resolutions make tinalitieS
of any thing but they put forward such prin-

the people, will in time, by corresponding lcgiSla-

can be-that Is, to endure, until from lis own inc

into which it is incorporated a result Of all evil

This fact is prominent in the campaign viz
that Pierce and Scott look for success on the one
hand to the strength Of the Democratic party. on
the other To that of the Wing party Now Nhat
reason j. there that the Democratic party should
support Pierce or the Whir party should support
Scott in other words, is there really thing
at issue between these parties that originally
created mot dJrdtd) them. Issues cannot last for
ever. The people of tAi, nation Will not be divi-
Ied through all time upon the same issue. The

veloped-is continually progressing, and a, a con-
