the Cincinnati Convention is an admitted necessity.
To accomplish this desirable result, united action
must be secured among the opponents OF the national
Administration.
Believing that the American party whose candidate
for the Vce-Presdency became by the action OF the
New York Convention comedies in these views, and
that their candidate for the Presidency will carry them

every effort that the correction OF these wrongs de-
manded of it, to secure harmony OF acton among the
opponents Of the national Administration, and con-
WINGED that it is still willing to place upon the altar OF

knowing that in the event OF success its sacrifices and
exertops will be respected and regarded, and with

hesitate to appeal to It's patriotism, that tor the sake
of the cause and for the removal OF all grounds OF
