regret that circumstances beyond my control put out oil
my power 10 attend.

has trampled down everything liberal on the continent
of Eutope-when disposition is manifested by more
than of the great powers TO interfere pohcaly with
the States this continent, and by one oi them, al
least with our domestic affairs, has been shown by
the attempt OF a member OF the British Parliament TO or
ganize opposition 10 our laws-our country occupies

OF free institutions and the political regeneration oil

Union be maintained successfully only IN the spirit IN
which originated, leaders and masses OF every shade OF
political opinion, with The most parouc devotion 10 The
country and its institutions have, with the exception oil
an uncomfortable faction cheefay and 10 good faith
sacrificed upon the altar OF the country party interests

prejudices The problem is solved, and man, here al
least has shown himself capable OF sell government ihe
constitution has come out OF the conflict strengthened by
the shocks. TO which II has been subecied-iis prnc
pes having been thoroughly discussed by the people,
better UNDERSTOOD and the binding obligation OF It's
compromises is everywhere Acknowledged
To preserve IL in its wholesome and Just action should
be the aim OF every patrio, and can imagine more
certain way OF so maintaining and preserving u than by
the union Of the great democratic republican party pro
posed by the society That party is the true national

nor the apoogst OF foreign enemes but has been found
under all circumstances as am sure il will be
