and wholesome, shall crown our passing
trials with ultimate victory. The measure
of that antecedent trial will be as our cour-
age, endurance and faith. That these will
not fail is assured by the solidity of the
principle We advocate, and the pledge of
Gods own purpose and promise.
Never had people such an hour for he
roic achievements as now Never had
man so much to aspire to as now Never
was the world SO shaken, as the graves by
a tempest, as now. The withered blossoms
Of old time issues must fall. The sterling

ripen, until America shall be free, and the
earth shall bless America as the hope of all
nations, and the model for ALL

Mcclellan has entered into plot with Bel

This is the reason why Belmont spent so
much money to have Mcclellan nominated.
