HEAR US FOR OUR CAUSE


We had proposed to ourselves the task Oh al
dressing to our readers few words, before inc
close of the pending Presidential canvass py WY
of briefly stating its paramount Issues anu VI
enforcing the practical duty imposed py inc
nature and magnitude Of these issues as we un-
derstapd them. In SO writing we could DO little
more than recapitulate the views and arguments
with which we have already familiarized our rea-
der, in our previou, discussions, when frankly
and canddly stating the opinions we cherish with
regard to the momentous consequences which de-
pend upon the result of the approaching electoral
contest.
But, on taking the pen for this purpose, we
found the views of patriotic obligation which we
would incucate SO admirably expressed, both in
point of substance and of temper, in the following
address of the Hon. WILLIAM ScHLEY, OF Mary.
land, nominated q. Mcclellan Elector in that
State, that we make his earnest appeal our own,
merely adding, that, if applicable to the people o.
Maryland, it is equally applicable to all loyal cl
zens every where, who, describing passion and Pc
ltical prejudice, are willing to learn the path o
duty and to walk in it with firm and unfalterin&
step.
