This great work accomplished, GRIM
vissaged war viii smooth bis wrinkIsd
front. The din Of arms win be lost in the
bum of eonsented iAdnctvy and the hymn
OF domestic endearmsns. The ConsEitu-
tIon as it is viii stand sublimely forth, an
enduring monument to the wisdom Of cur
fathers the States restored, Ike stars
that hare wandered, 10 their original
places in sFthe Union as ii was :" our peo-
pie once more on the highway of nations
and on the march towards the fuifllment !
OF that grand destiny which God has as
signed to them.
All these things hope for, all these
things shall realize, unless the people
are again deceived BY abolition under
some new name. Under the name Of Re-
publican, abolition can do no harm in
that character its role is ended, Il will !
next apr ear in a new dress. Already its
leaders are calling loudly for the forma-
lion of so-calied Union party-this is :
indeed an attempt to steal the livery Of
heaven in which TO serve the devil. Let !
The people, being forewarned, be fore
armed against the next appears anoe Of ab-
,lition. Trust &C such affiliations, for :
1ne more success Of the abolition party,
under whatever name il may assume, and
1ur nationality is lost forever, and the
wreck of our Republic will strew the path
way of nations with those of Greece and
Rome. From the contemplation oil such {
\ future turn IN horror; upon such scenes
AE. Chairman, trust my eyes may never
est, over such results never weep.
