my profound thanks for the honor you
have done me. feel that it comes la
den with vast responsibilities; that to
discharge them properly demands faith,
hope, firm reliance upon the enduring
principles of our creed and unyielding
devotion to the rights and liberties OF
the people. He who would lead you
to success should stand unaWed by the
presence of usurped power, uninhuenc-
ed by the Establishments of patronage.
He should be the stern advocate few
il liberty; the bold defender Of consti-
tutional right and privilege; the un-
compromising opponent OF official and
legislative corruption; the hearty sup
porter of all that tends to promote the
welfare and happiness of our whole
people, to develope the boundless re-
sources of the State and advance her
material and social prosperity. Then,
too, he should stand the avOwed and
undoubted champion of the Union OF
theseStates, in its original purity, ready
and willing, if need be, to sacrifice life
itself in defending from the assaults OF
all enemies, be they Southern rebels OF
Northern disunionists, be they the bad
bold men who dared bare the sword
