PEELED to see II who wish to turn their eyes away.
The question about to be ventilated very clear: 70
depose IRON power who has risen against the m
situations which he himself helped to found and against
the nation that elected him. to provide that the dest
MES Of the country may be directed by the consttu-
onal procedures instead OF being the keeping OF an
absolute master during bis life and pleasure In ths
question there are no more than two partiesthat Is 70
saw the republicans who the nation ITSELF and the
pretorans who seek 10 impose upon US the yoke OF a
lord and MASTER On questions of this class neutrality
is crime which egotism may pretend IN vain 70 as
guise from itself.
So every one in whose breast vbrates one pusaon OF
liberty will be with u.s. Every one who between me
republic and one man prefers the latter will be or 'he
dictatorship.
In the name of our liberty threatened in the name OF
our country insulted, appeal to every republican "
join our example. 10 armsl
Presidents OF other States well know that at this
hour your hearts burn with enthusiasm in favor OF the

Our conduct is measured by the magnitude OF our
duty We shall observe with loyalty the laws and usages
OF and the right OF nations; we shall give to the
ninety first article Of the constitution, with relation to
the enemy, the and application he gives
to 1t with respect ourselves without descending
the preparation of acts unworthy OF civilized peo
pie; but carry the with sufficient 0rmness TO
sure the triumph OF Schools and public
Establishments will not be closed.
We do not for one single moment entertain doubt Of
victory is already guaranteed by the sanctity OF the

TONS homes, family property, ALL oil most sacred
rights compromised; and before we robbed of
these let sell lives at us dear cost possible to
the usurpers.
But no; they are fools who submit to one man sur.
