Western Reserve, we pledge that nothing on
our part shall be wanting to make the reeep-
tion of delegates, no matter how many thous-
ands they may number, such as is worthy of
those falling 10 the same holy cause, for the
Constitution as it is, and for the Union as it

abOlitiOnists in changing the war from the
preservation Of the Union to the elevation Of
the negro.
