lot has been cast in a pleasant land. Our fathers

desire of every good person. Those liberties and
constitutional privileges endangered by the
injustice and aggressive action of the people of
portion of our Confederation of States A dark |
cloud hangs over the future
In this state of things it becomes us as a neonle
to humble ourselves in the presence of God |
and to pray that He will inspire our hearts with
WISDOM and courage, and nerve arms with
strength to defend our rights against every azores
sion, and perpetuate liberties to the latest gen
