the noblene of our efforts and that each Stae on the
9th Of November will send greetings from hef Dauoe

of talents such as Thaddsus Stevens, David Wumot,
John Hickman, Thomas Williams, Morton McMicnaei,
Thomas Marshall, and Governor Reeder. however,
because these men are named for the pcsuon, s no
reason to expect that either Of them Will be successful
