sition, and ! feel warranted in saying
that the Convention cannot greatly
err IN selecting any one of them To
the judiciary we must look for the
preservation, or rather restoration of
the peoples liberties and it is graft

the gentlemen now named be elected

great convictions which now divide
the people, and it looks TO us to de-
clare these convictions with equal
clearness. And let US do so. Let us
speak as they deserve of these acts OF
the dominant party which have been
subversive of the fundamental princi-

shall exist upon the borders Of the
Gulf as well asupon the borders of the
Lakes, and that wherever the flag
floats, there the people shall be free.
Let that assurance 60 out to all the
States, and all the people thereof II
is our highest duty to see that the free
Government our fathers made, the
cardinal object Of which was the indi-
vidual liberty Of the people, shall be
preserved to ourselves and transmit
