SANDUSKY, OHIO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY

dated Wilhelmshohe, February 8, which
concludes as follows: at is essential
that France should be united in her
wishes. For myself, bruised by injustice
and bitter from deceptions, 1 do not now
claim my repeatedly-confirmed rights.
There is no room for personal ambition,
but till the people are regularly assembled
and express their will, it is my duty to say
that all acts are illegitimate. There is
only one government in which resides
national sovereignty able to heal the
wounds, to bring hope to the firesides, to
reopen the churches for prayers, and to
restore industry, concord, and peace"
