il to the best OF our ability, through the two
last campaigns, we have endeayored TO make
the National a faithful advocate Of the true
principles OF Democracy. Though we may
have lacked in ability. we have certainly
been fearless in the discharge OF our duty
and have boldly denounced the men and
measures Of the opposition, as facts, in our
opinion, justified us in doing. II we have
occasionally INDUCED in personalities, 1t has
only been in such cascs as we conceived tc
be OF public interest, where men were aspir-

and great obligations, for the kind manner
In which they have received the National.-
Their fiatlering assurances OF APPROPRIATION

and faithful democrat, and hope tha. the cit.

his opponent. s. II. Chase, was adopted By the Re-
