and closes long article by telling its readers
that all is not lost. Ii saws:
Let us say again that we do not seek to in
spire our friends with overweening confidence
We strongly hope for success, not without eff
fort, but through effort. There are dark cor
ners yet to be enlightened, faint hearts to be
nerved, prejudices to be dispelled, sluggishness
to be overcome. But we have the candidates
for the crisis, and the needed work will be
done. a

"Resolced, That in the three prominent po
liticai platforms now before the country we re-
cognize that adopted by the Republican party
nearest to the truth and right, though believ
ing as we do, that the very gist of the matter,

in the District of Columbia, yet believing this,
so great is our adherence to this national,
soul crushing evil, that we can enter with even
the humblest, the merest tyro in political ethics
to overthrow the evil in all its mighty abomi.
nations.
" Resolred, That in the nomination of Col.
John c. Fremont, by the Republicans to
the Office of Chief Executive Of this nation,

more from all participation in the atrocious
iniquity."
