cause of Humanity. Justice and Freedom sEieaF-
oring TO meliorate the condition OF the Oppressed
and unfortunate, to honor and encourage useigl
exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote b.
all means the moral intellectual and material al
yancement of country. II has aimed 70 bs
right rather than popular, aud 20 espcuse and
commend to-day the truth that others may not be
willing to accept till tomorrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed /; but, having in all thing,

that the unanimous, earnest efforts of loyal hea-s
