You are aware that the bent OF my mind is not to-

faithful adherence 70 the Constitution Of Com
try and Just administration of lis provisions, the
only safe guard be found for her irstitutonsiu

every pban'hropiSt cannot bot Zee! SOME solirl-
tude 10 who shall be az the helm OF State and what
principles shall predomnate.
! The age Is one of ism. The spirit OF innovation
is almost too prevalent. On all great moral and na-
ional questions, men and parties often brcome ia
natlca This spirit, believe, requires 10 be- check
ed. h order 10 90 this, we need national party,
with purely national views, and men who possess IN
tasrty aud character well discretion and dpio-
roaiic ability. believe the Democratic Party that

+ Breckeuridge the men for the crisis Men, 10 be
sure, are but agents, white principles, bfgottcn in
long experience and MOULDED by public opinion, are,
in republican government, the only true wSyu'aI6s
Such principles have been framed by the same hands
! that Liberties, and by those who have since
manfgy abored in the Cabinet and national legis-
lature for their preservation and establishments /
am glad therefore, hat the Cincinnati Convention
has adopted these principles, and has selected men
who always have been and are still true 10 them.

exciting questions of the day. For men and parties
10 succeed they must sbe just and fear and let
all their aims be their CouptTy's Gods and Truths"
Like the wanderng's OF Ulysses our course leads
By rocks and whripoolS and those alone with liberal
minds and expanded views, will be able 10 pass ;he

wheBthe last turn shall be made at the Ballot Box
that '.Pennsyivana's Favorite Som may be Turned
