will. not permit the Perpetrstiou OF The dss-

TO US can come only through ,hs success -
the Democracy hence, the sbsolutc necss-
sity, that We mako use Of every in sur
power TO strengthen the arms Of that parry
that il may strike yet more vigorous
blows in defence Of liberiy-the dovs
trOdden South and Constitutional Goyera--
ment. Liberty unrsstrsined BY law Is IL
cense. We condemn the Rpdic- Is for thcir'
repeated violations Of the law, and We ais'
in the right when we do 50. Obedience to-
the law, is the duty Of every citizen, be-.
cause in such obedience, security OF life
and protection to property alone is found.
We cannot therefore too strongly impress
upon you, fellow citizens, the necessity OF
respect for and obedience to the laws, Nn.
tional and State. Already the Radicals
have slandcrcd us on this subject, by 'hs'
perpctrntion of deliberate fnlsehoOds,
charging us with an undue inclination to-
commit crime and to protect criminals.
Let us now, and in the future, as we have
done in the past, prove by our acts the un-'
qualified faslehood Of their assertions.
In unity there is strength; without err,
ganizaiion we cannot be united. bun
die Of reeds taken singly can he easily

the strength of the strongest man. May
we not learn n lesson? Tho time is upon.
us when we need the whole power OF all
the people who agree with us and disagree
with the Radical party. We do now, fell
low citizens, in the most solemn MANNER
urge you to organize-to thorough or
ganize-On the plan presented by this COLI
vcntion, 10 the eud that our entire strength
may be hurled like thunderbolt against.
the arch enemy of tar country.
Fellow-citizens the welfare of our peo-'
pie, the honor of our women and the lives
of our children, demand Of nll Of us tho
promptest and most ene' getic action tn
this emergency of our affairs. Apathy
and Indifference lead to political death, TO-
socia ruin, and to personal dishonOr.
Manuclcd and chained as we have bcen,.
ns we are now, still mighty power rests
in our keeping, which, exercised in ono
united effort, will produce results most
gratifying TO the PATRIOTS heart, aud at the
same time will cause the opprcssors of the
country to tremble with fear because of tho
wrongs they have committed.
We believe that by proper effort we can'
save our State, and aid in an essential:
manner to save the nation from further
misrule of the Radical party. But TO do
this it is requisite that every man shnll 10
his duty. The means of success are in
our hands, if we fail to use them, we do
not merit frecdom-but are already pre-.
pared in heart and mind, to become slaves.
The voice of the people rs the voice Of
God rise and speak; move forward audi
act, rs become brave, honest, determined
men, and all will he we'll.
