purpose of nominating four persons for the

or she carefully shaded her eyes, that she

Let us emulate the ancient Goddess of JUS
ticc. Letus select such men rs we can trust

will fall the law, as docs the dew of Heaven

courage to ask the pround Southerner for the

before us and call upon us to acknowledge his

he holds in bondage. (Chccrs)
Gentlemen, again allow me to return my
sincere thanks to you for the honor you have
conferred upon me.
