than this. OF all the things in this world
he loved, the two things he loved most
were his wife and Union. He was edu.
Gated under the constitution. 1t was in
fused into his blood and he loved it from
the crown of his head to the sole of his
feet. 1t remained for the people of the
United States to inaugurate constitutional
Government 1t was native born. Like
Minerva springing from the head of Jupi-

for the Constitution, that he considered it
almost as great a crime to destroy that in-
strument as to destroy the country. We
owe sacred duty to this President of the
United States. We should stand by the
President, who stands by us and the coun-
try. Mr.. Van Wrinkle believed in prose-

enemy than to us.
