could 'at as well 10 Virginia as in Pennsylvania nag
bearing the motto, !" The Constitution aud the Unioun
They not assembled rejoice over the dscon6tus
of ant body but to express their JOY that truth had con-
queres and that the of error has been arrested
This contest was hercuiean one-inyolying question,
which lie AT the foundation of our political system bsd
been expected that they should be called to fight for
the right of all men to be free from political religious
prescription or TO fight against organization embracing
but sixteen States But against such Organization
they called TO combat.
The contest also peculiar from the fact that the op-
ponens OF The democracy having often failed defeat us
with candidate, making the attempt to defeat
us With two We have often defeated one and We can as
easily defeat two.

the opposition objecls To.
They cried for free Kansas Kansas was free ae.
cording to them, when she did they wished The doc

themselves The issue whether the people Of Ksns,
should govern themselves, or whether should govern
them
The republicans praied about the evils of slavery bu,
had they ever presented practical remedy2 No such
