Mr.. Giddings regards the ends for which
he has thus labored as already virtually ac-
complished, and hopeful light, in hi mind,
rests upon the future. He says:
"Ot the intensity Of those conflicts which
so rapidly succeeded each other for seven
teen years have no time to .peak; It is
..ufficien. to say that the combination of re-.
Igrour, moral and political truths, pressed
as they we're upon the public mind. could

Ird-rd. the victory has heen aIreadv achiev-
ed. The lovers of liberty at this moment
WELD the moral power of our nation; and
the Government, with it's patronage, it's
great power and wide spread influence, must
soon fall into their hands; and the immuta-
bIe law Of justice which has alresdv given
them power, will continue it So long as
they act in harmony with the doctrines 10
which they are unaquivocally pledged"
