cious, irredeemable, and deprecated cur


Now this same party which has brought
all these evils upon the country comes
again before the American people asking
for their suffrages. And whom has 1t
nominated for its candidate? The general
commanding the armies of the United
States Can there be any doubt left as to
the designs Of the radicals. II they should
be able to keep their hold on the reins OF
government, they intend the congressional
usurpation of the government to be en-
forced by the bayonets of military despot-
ISM 1t is impossible that free and intel
ligent people can long submit to such
state of things. They will not wait calmly
to see their liberties subverted, the pros
perity and greatness of their country un
dermined, and the institutions bequeathed
to them by the fathers of the republic
wrested from them. They must see that
the conservative and national principles of
liberal and progressive democracy are the
only safeguards of the republic. gaa
Gentlemen of the convention, your
country looks to you to stay this tide Of dis
organization, violence, and despotism. 1t
! will not look in vain when, in next Novem-
Der, the roll shall be called; when state at
ter state shall respond by ralying around
the broad banner of democracy, on which,
in the future as in the past, will be in
scribed our undyiug motto: 1.-The union,
the constitution, and the laws. /" "a sa7a
