ThI> J. the great and ail-aosoroinS
auestion now before the American
people. Tina, this subject shoull gain
any particular attention at this late
day j. truly astonishing. 1T has been
saved 20 often that we should think
the plan had become patent. in fact we
tbouyht the South had a patent for 1t
ling ago. Was not the Union saw
.-l'' when the Missouri Compromise
measures were adopted in 1920. And
va, il not re-savcsl in lsi3. in the an
uexation Of Texas. And we ak. III
all capdor. was Il not abundantly.'sav-
ed over again in 1850. by the pa>-
sacs Of the Fugitive Slave Law? And
we can all remember when the healing
saIve was again applied in 1904 IN the
massage of the Kansas Nebraska bill
aud how we were told that this ce-
ment was to increase in strength a
the Union became more and more IN
seoarable. And did not Stephen. the 81
ant take ont his patent for this Union
salve from the Harpers? No allu-
sion to Harper, Ferry.
And once more: Was not the Union
saved when James Buchanan. 1.-The
wise. pure, and patriotic statesman.
was elected President in 1896?
And every man. woman and chilli
knows it by heart. that on the second
dav Of December. 1850. this gei-loriou'
Union was ed,-fnally, complete
". and everlastingly saved, the greo
State Of Virginia and Cor. Vase in

neck.
The fact of the whole thing Is. tina
the Union is so thoroughly saved, tina
We have deliberately concluded that !
