sometimes sober second thought
.assails it. Time, with its Ithuriel
spear, inevitably pierces it, and it
comes to naught.
This frenzy of passion can not
last forever. Reason must, sooner
or later, resume its sway. Those
who think otherwise, 1t has Been
beautifully said, forget that the an
CRY rapids of Niagara lead TO the
placid expanse of Ontario. 1t was
an Eastern sage who urged his
master to have engraven on his
signet.ring, Z at It might be ever
before his eyes, in every vicissitude
of prosperity or adversely, "And
this too shall pass away" This
year or next year, or in feUSycars,
or in ten years, reason will be
heard, and our principles and our
party will triumph. But if it

vessel will advance, almost in face
of the wind. We arc strong as We
cast aside all tcmporizing expedi-
ents-as jMe reject all sacrifices of
principle to policy-as we bravely
and openly avow our faith and in
woke a patriotic people TO its
thoughtful consideration. Let us
make that appeal today.
