abors and past trumphs acd must be upheld in the
cou5g election that in the next National Convention
to select candidate for the Presidency the voice OF

permit Itself to be beaten by the hone division Of the
common enemy; nor, in the mean time, must any un
toward result be permitted to check the rapid gro~th
Of our principles IN those States which turned the
tide against us ia 1856; neither must the ardent,
glowing hopes of united New England, which has
| thoroughly purged iteelf Of the " black dross,
be chilled by any temporary reverses here
To secure such reverses, mos: determined effort viii
