Fortunately. the principles of the
Democratic and Conservative party ap-
peal with more force to reason than to
passion. The doctrines we advocate
and the hercsies we condemn afford ma
'rraI ion profitable reflection, and by
calmly aud judiciously presenting them
10 the people we may reasonably hope
10 turn thousands from the errors into
which Radicalism is leading them.

We must begin nOtr. Everybody is
ready to reason; everybody is ready to
'rld; everybody is ready to receive po-
iltlcal light, in whatever manner it may
come. Two months hence it may not
