We believe, sir, that the honest will of
the Union men of the courtry was never
more truly represented than in this Con-
vention. Their purpose we believe to be
the overthrow Of armed rebels in the field,
and the security Of permanent peace and
union BY liberty and justice under the

duty is to determine in the angry con-

practically accomplished, is their sincere
persuasion. They have watched your Of

merely recorded the popular will. Your

American liberty aud of the American
Constitution. 10 the name of that lib.
