"llow far Mr.. Burha, aus administration
has realized those wishes is now patent TO
the worl. With ,hc executive power Of

trnt'on has failed in every respect to meet

conviction Of its ab,ol1to necessity, in the

and OF the wisdom and Justice Of its pur-
poses and aim.

of Republicans to adhere to their princi
