North. Separated as thus am from the distin-
guished soldier who has been chosen as the leader
OF our opponents. know that you will agree
with me In the highest respect for the services he
has rendered our country, but IL is my conviction
that the measures OF the party which has placed
him In nomination are but combinations of strife,
and can never restore peace or constitutional su-
premacy, and thus complete the work which he and
other brave soldiers so sbly commenced. r.7ss
The war was only the first epoch In the history
