| Reasonable men will apprebend this, and know
| how to make the proper allowance.
We do not expect to approve every act, mach
less every appointment of the new Administra
ton. Wa expect to have reason to dissent from
! some of its views and demur to certain of its
acts; and we SHALL if we see cause, express that
dissent with entire frankness. But the men
whom we did our best to elect can never forfeit
our confidence nor incur our hostility 81 long as
thew shall remain faithful to the noble Platform
on which they were nominated aud elected
Let us all, at this auspcious moment, give it o
| fresh aud careful reading. II is as follows:
