A WORD TO MY REPUBLICAN
FRIENDS.

say to you, claim your rights
under the Constitution, in every
part and parcel, and exercise them
freely, and don't trample upon the
rights of your ne'ghbors, though
they may differ from you, for in
religion there is diversity Of opinil
on, but the same God, and in polil
tics, there is difference of opinion,
but the same Constitution. Let US
obey the commandments and pre-.
cepts Of the Constitution, and claim
the protection guaranteed to US by
them. If it is right to persecute
in the one case, it is right in the
other. Must | prove to you by ar
gument that it is day when you
can see the sun? Must l prove to
you when men are arrested without
due process of law, that our liber.
ties are in danger? Must 1 prove
to you when you see me bleeding,
that | am hurt? All know this
from the least to the greatest
Then let US cling to the Constitu,
tion-the groundwork and pallal
dunn Of our liberties; let us hold
it forth to the world as the bright
morning star, with healing under
its orb. Safe in war, safe in peace,
let us profit by its teachings let
US profit by the good example of
each other, for in this and no other
way can our conntry be brought
back to its former glory. Let us
put sectional strife away from
among US, let it be, forever forgot
ten: let us have no East, no West,
ne North, No South, but, the Uni,
on and Che Constitution, one and
insepaFable. The tumpfts of war
will then be hushed, and, peace
that glorious peaceLwill again
bless our once happy land. Conn
merce will revive, our ports will be
open to the world, and our ships
to-day in battle arrayed, will again
carry the products of our soil to evl
cry cline; the Stars aud Stripes
will again wave, on every hilltop,
and in every valley throughout
the length and breadth of our land.
Let us perseIere in a cause so wise
and beneficial, and all the world
will be lold with admiration our
national greatness and individual
happiness, and may that beautiful
emblem of American liberty-the
Star Spangled Banner forever wave
over our "land of the free and the
home CT the brave"
