while strictly upholding our own national rights and
honor and the wisdom and foresight with which
delicate and dangerous topic of sectional agitation and
local violence has been settled and removed forever from
the arena Of national politics. have justly commended
our distinguished President and the able and experienced
counsclors forming his cabinet to the increased and un-
reserved confidence and support Of dnterested citizens

test aud that those members Of the two houses of Con-
ress who thus counseed with opponents at the last

trust that the energies Of the democratic party will be d
rectcd to the solution OF these questions in manner at
il accordance with national rights and our
