Nation. protect this old lines tree. Stril
away the poisonous vines, the rank, un
wholesome weeds and moss, which unde
the name of " war power" and estate ne

the old tree still, blazed by the hat
Chef of that pioneer of Liberty,
GEORGE WASHINGTON. Show by your vol
ces and your votes that the personal liberty,
the right of jury trial, the freedom to speak,
reserved to yourselves in that Constitution,
must not be uiolated, even iu the humblsst
beggar that asks q crust at the doorstep OF
opulence. Keep the covenant yourselves
and demand that your servants in Office
shall also keep sit. Let the voice of the
people echo in the ears of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN and thrill through his nerves, as die
the avenging bolt of Jehovah fall upon
UzzAH, who, when the oxen stumbled
laid his unclean hands upon the ark of the
Covenant that the Lord had made with his

Speak out, boldly and fearlesslv, that
your example may encourage the timid
aud wavering, and that your enemies may
hear and respect you.

since with great flourish of trumpets, ha'
suddenly disappeared from public view, Il

that wherever he appeared he made more
enemies than friends to the administration
Nor should we wonder if it were so, fol
BUTLER has such perverse way of looking
at things both OFFICIALLY and mentally, that
he always appears tebe on the wrong
side, and regarding public matters from a
distorted view. The only straight line of
vision he has is in the direction of his
