II not forever; and, therefore, YOU will
find them moving forward in the contest
shoulder to shoulder, solid and firm as
the Macedonian phalanx, and as deter
mined to conquer as Alexander himself.
Such an enemy, SO bold, so united. so
active ana so INSCRIPTIONS, is not to be
despised and l warn our Republican
friends everywhere throughout the State
to buckle on their armor in time-to

no egress, we may congratulate ourselves
that his detection is not fatal to those
whom he has betrayed that the Republi-

principles; that it possesses the confidence
and heart of the country; and that, in !
spite OF defeotion aad disloyalty, it will |
stand like wall of adamant, proof against |
every assault, and will continue to triumph |

people as an inestimable blessing. This !
IS our consolation, and it is one of which |
we cannot be deprived by the hollow
hearted shouts of Democratic demacogues.
