never beaped upon political opponents be-

votes to sustain candidate, that is but
the representative of platform, one plank
of which is an unjust and slanderous de-

In conclusion. Mr.. Pursis said be hoped
he had not made political speech, he
had not entered into an argument Of the
claims of the two parties, or their respec-
tive nominees to the suffrages Of the peo>
pile of these United States. He had been
most earnestly solicited By bis neighbors
and friends to define his position, and to
give reason for the faith that was in
him. He had done so fearlessly, and he
hoped, without giving offence to those who
did not agree with him. He saw before
, him many of his neighbor. and friends who
had acted with him in times past, as
, democrat, he trusted none doubted his sin !
cerity, or desire to do what is right. He
was an earnest seeker after truth, and be
lieved with his whole soul that the AMER :
. ICAN principles were the be>t ones to
! shape the policy ofthis Republic by.He had
; thought of the subject carefully. before he
! took his stand, and when he did so, he did
