for slavery propagandists, Under the alleged
necessity of choosing " the least OF TWO
evils" which is neither more nor less than
choosing to serve the least of two devils
But men shall be compelled to choose be-
tween ." the Lord and BaaI, - between
Truth, Justice and Freedom on the one
side, and Falsehood, Wrong and Slavery on
the other Henceorlh no honest man, who
really loves Liberty and hates Tyranny,
shall be able to stumble US as to the path OF
duty
For this, we thank God and take cour-
are. In this result we see the hand OF
Providence wiser than the wisest. While
we hope for nothing at the hands OF Frank
lin Pierce, save hatred of Freedom and SER
Witty to Slavery, we do have hope like an
anchor, that in the present triumph to Tree
principles and free government
Never stood our cause so strongly as to-
day. Never did the old hacks Of slavery
trelnbIe before us as they do in this their
hour of apparent victory. They know and
feel that the American people are now ripe
for the issue whose approach is as unesca'
bic as the fiat Of doom. Every true man
feels it in his soul There is no lodging ii,
no avoiding it.
Have heart, friends of Freedom, and be
ready for the battle, and the victory, that
is near at our doors. Work, labor, pray
and not faint. Lay not off your armor for
moment. Your candidates and your
principles have passed through the smoke
of the recent skirmish without the smell of
FIRE upon them. Be true as they are true,
and another four years shall not bear It's rec.
ord up to the throne Of Eternal Justice,
without recording nobler victory for llu
mainly than marks any age since His who
came " to preach dciyerance to them that
are bound, and let the oppressed go free
