here to-day who think that shalt lsneal,
with pleasure iRut i beg 10 assure fhfr,
that is NOT 40. I sbalI exnerience nnne
whatever in sagine q what 7 think a sense OF
duty requires me to saw. know that I
shall OK 1,ress Sentiments from, which some
personal friends whose feeiinoss Il wonId
not willingly wound, Z! viii dissent. Bit
they will excuse me for considering the
time to have arrived when personal consid-
erations should not restrain us from dis
charging our duty to the country. We are
about to be precipitated upon a most i'm
portatft and dangerous political crisis. and
our dearest interests are at stake upon its
issue. i verify believe that we are advanc-
fng towards the,very verge of a precipice.
beyond aohicf there is a ya,onind dbuss
zee mag not escape, u,ileSs zoe shan
retrace our stems and maintain noniiu
those NATIONAL principles schict zoe once cher
ished toith such earnest deuotion !; unless we
shall go back to where the fathers of the
Republic stood. If can aid in turning us
all away from this precipice, shall have
accomplished the only object design. But
whether do so or not, shall utter the sem
tinients entertain freely and without re-
serve. And lean promise you that they are
sentiments not formed to-day or yesterday,
but constantly entertained through life.-
They will therefore have about them the
merit of sincerity, If no other.
without any just or proper; occasion for
1t we find ourselves In the midst of exciting
public discussions upon political topics,
which, more than all others combined, are
calculated to excite bad feeling and to con-
vulse the nation. would if, it
were possible arrest this course Of events
and persuade You back again to the points
from. winch some OF you have departed,
that we may reason together as those who
are TO snare common destiny, and that
we may move onward In the future as
though asingle spirit OF nationality anina-
ted us all. 3, f5 80 - - Ia
