fcctually donc-donc without the intcrvcn-

though the heavens fall (Shouts of ".l-

for our nation at large. Deliver Us from
the rule Of bad men, especially from him
who through satanic agency has been raised
to authority over us, and who, abusing that
authority, is not only endangcrng the life
Of our republic but our personal liberty

Infamous and ruinous policy and from tho
bad counscls of bad men that surround him

from thy throne to arouse the American
people to action in this tremendous hour
