government, is to preserve our common country,
he priceless inheritance Of our revered ancestors,
nd the copious source Of innumerabe national
nd personal benefits, against the base machina-
ions Of designing traitors. Upon the result de-
ends, in large measure, the cause Of free u-
tituticns and Of human rights, and everything
ibich men hold most dear and precious. In this
