putrid stencil, and covering the whole county over
which they rule with deep, dark mantle of sin.
Can it be possible that our fathers brothers, and
friends, will continue to send immoral men to the
exclusion of moral? Can we believe that they will
continue to send drunkards, swearers and gamblers
to the exclusion Of good, honest noble, patriotic

The sacred word of God solemnly assures US that
