Things 90 be Isenembered


Iprize of political intrigue or accident; instead
Of high disliuciion.to be attained only by cx-
allied worth and distinguished public service
That II will be TO entrnst the interests OF the
STAKEHOLDER 10 one who has declared that the
men who would dissolve tho Union did not
hate or depIoro slavery more than he did
who was born educated reared and has al.
ways lived in state lhat has. in every possible
form, made known lis bitter hostility to the in.
stitution
That il i'll be to promote the wishes and
designs Of Van Buren,, Batter, DIX, Bryant,
King and others who are the deadiest enemies
Of slavery, and unsleePing foes To the rights Of
Tie South; who have announced their object
10 be, to surround the slave States with free ter
ritory; and thus, by cutting off all outlet to the
surplus population of that class, make IL
worthlossand dangerous; aud have proclaimed
as fixed determinations that IF there have
been compromises with slavery, hey must be
rcpealed:"
Tint it would be TO give political consc-
quence and power TO Douglas and his purity,
who seek 10 change the policy Of peace and
non Intervention, that was bcqueathcd us by
Washington, and to cast our government forth
upon career of lawless conquest, and Quixolic
interference with the affairs Of other nations:
Thaiit would be to prevent the State of Vir.
GINA from getting possession of that portion
of tho public lands to which she is enltled--a
possession which would cnable her to pay off
her public debt--compotc her system Of inter.
nal improvcments-educ her poor children,
aud red ace or wholly abolish her taxes:
That it would be to give the popular sane
ton to tho policy Of pary,by whose manage.
mcnt of the currency the transaction Of bust
ness has been seriously inpeded aud disorder
ed, and thousands Of the citizens Of this com

ycnlcncc and loss:
That it would, by the election Of thcir lea.

mocracy of New Hampshire, who, although
their State Constitution permits free negroes 10

monwealth
That it would be TO favor the commercial in
forests of Great Britain--the never resting ri.
val of this country-whoso leading papers have
avowed an anxious wish that he might be elect

cal ally" of that country:
That il would be TO arrest the work Of i'm
provcment upon our Rivers and lIarbors-so
necessary TO the safety Of lie and propcrt. :;
To the prosecution of the internal commerce of
the country, and to tho development Of It's in.
dust,ial and productive resources:
! That it would be To refuse a proper reward
TO one who has rendered more substantial aud
perous service TO the country than any living
man; and who has conferred more lustrc on
the American name than every member Of the
party opposing bim, taken together:
That it would be not only to act thus un-
gratefully and u9justy, but it would be to
endorse and confirm the thousand hcartlcss and
TRUTH ss inventions of his enemies, and to unite
in the calumnies that have been hcapcd upon
nm.
! LIT TnEsETnINGs he REMEMBERED, and let 1t
not he forgotten that i We would keep mp tie
race of great men; if we would rear up for the

The t,mo for talk is past. Tho time for work
! has come. The issue of the Presidential contest
is in the hands oil the Wings, and prompt exer-
ton will enable them to triumph. Energy, ac-
tivlty, watchfuness and sclfreliance are the
means at their disposal. Every man must feel
that he has work TO do which cannotbo halrso
