why should redoublc efforts and Put forth strength
sufficient to overcome these unlocked for dficulucs
What would have been our doom to-day, II these
weak hearted and Underlined gentry, who counsel
submission 10 the South had occupied the places ~
fathers in the seven years war for independence
Instead Of being free people, having the respect and
fear " the world should be the scrvile minons
of Great Britain and the scoru and derson Of the whole
earth.
We not give up At Que or two defeats, but have
confidence in cause and put forth energies In
proportion TO the obstacles to be overcome
As people, we have made, as yet, no sacrifices IS
compared with enemies IL l. true have lost
and avshly spent our money but do not feel H. and
or business communities and circles " pleasure, go
whirling down the giddy stream though hadncyer

luxury aud aluence that had we'll nigh forgotten The
cost and value Of our inheritance.
This feeling Of apathy and indifference, his spirit Of
party and faction must all be swept away, and in place

turns cold shoulder TO the Government, because he
does not believe in every act OF the Administration is in
opposition To his country and is giving aid and comfort
10 her enemies
Our cause mus, and will succeed. There Is strength
enough Ia the Government 90 hold itself together and
the Cud il viii yndicute its power, and teach the south
that discussion and moderation far conducive
their grow and prosperity than treason and rebellion.
The people will NOT suffer the Government TO be destroy
cd No Peace Parry and no Adminstration destroy
IL; for when the time comes that the Government or
party must fdl, party will go down and the Government
will stand
have mo- doubt or the ultimate success Of our cause
We must give up Oh side issues and anaoa ideas aud
notions We must avoid radcalcm az d be couserva-

things. We strengthen the hands OF the General
aud state Governments. We must think more Of our
country than do Of our money, unite the broad
ground Of the restoration ot ne UHt0n do whole
