maintenance Of this great living principle military force

The black republicans have been too early in their
DEVELOPMENTS The public mind is not prepared to
accept the doctrines OF Garrison Theodore Parker and
Wendell Philips InRdelity and abolition fanaticism are
yet in the ascendant There is in the nation strong
deprecated conservative element The fathers, though

butchery will not go The strong arm of the gov
eminent will be put forth with the determined purpose to
the peace and enforce the laws Treason may
hang head and traitors may skuk away in pursuit Of

but the country will be saved and that shall have the
qualification of witnessing the utter prostraon of its
