RSolrei, That We consider a perfect un-
ders andiug 70 exist between the platform
OF the democracy, adopted at the last con-
ven,on. and the principles Of the nominees.

rid the people Of the burden and wees
which have befallen them since corrupt

Of the credit and welfare Of The country,
and iss happiness aud progress, and that
We consider il All imperative duty 70 put
