that when their great constitutional
rights are invaded by sovereign or psria-

men Of all parties make common cause
against the trespasser. For long time this

in an hour Of national madness, worked into
frenzy by teachers Of sectional hate, consti-

SPARED OF II; those who under despotic gov
ernments were struggling for popular rights
stood appalled, at the tyranny and swlessuess
Of the model republic, and fuay, the very
consprators, themselves. Chase, Greely, Sew,

at The domon they had raised. But during
all these dark bours there were those who

self government, who bided their time, and
who now, under the banner Of the Demo

who in the midst Of discouragements have

should be given to hose, who, seeing the
danger into which we were drftng Gave
had the manhood and The honesty to come
out from the rotten co pcern Of Rauicasm

which required no small amount OF moral
courage to abandon party alliances, even for
the good Of our country, md for one | wei

good is only half done, as long as we have
