cessions, and he hoped for the Inauguration
of a united party since the great party had
found existence which had forced us to the
verge of a civil var.
The glory Of the Democratic party had
passed away 1t is an autocratic one, and
must be opposed with the united energies of
all lovers of Freedom. He had hoped the
communication would be read with proper
respect:

Convention, not only as an American, but q
Free State man. He hated three things

not, the second makes brutes of men there

to unite and break down the present admin-
istration.
