pressing sentiments on the present po-
litical topics. The country has passed
through IL violent convulsion, and is
now slowly, but steadily recovering
itself. The main objects should be the
return ofharmOny in 4 spirit of mutual
confidence among the jarring members.
Government draws life from the ready
consent of those governed. When the
distinguished hero, whose name your
Association bears, uttered these mem
or;lbie words 'Thc Union must and
shall be Prcscrved,' he undoubtedly y
rested his faith on the spontaneous CO.
operation of the great masses of the
nation, responding to his call in the
regular and Legitimate channels pre-
scribcd by the law. He never cOntcnl-
plated the use of bayOnetS in control
