was a struggle in behalf OF The great
principles which underlie the strnc-
ture of our own government, vindi-
Gated by the bloody battles Of eight
years; and that we cannot be indii-
terent to their fate, whatever be the
arena in which the struggle for their
vitality goes on.

form upon them, is implicitly an al
tack upon uS-an armed interven-
ton against them is in effect, an insult
to us-that any narrowing of the

dangerous weakening Of our own IN
