no save the Government is our hrst duty;
One Of the greatest means to this ereat ehu
il the preservation and perfect discipline OF

energetic action are indispensable prerequl-

ton to the fundamental doctrines OF the Con,

not be silent when they are In JEOPARDY.
Millions of men rally to its standard because
il is and ever has been true to these doctrines,
and danger to liberty, distinction and dIFi-
sion, would inevitably follow It's olspaoo'
ment-
Whilst the Constitution lives, the DEMO
cratic partv can neither sleep nor die.
The. certainty of this fact serves to demon
stratc the necessity for that breadth OF view
and progressive spirit that shall find the
practical means to unite in a harmonious and
irresistible whole those masses of men whose
opinions on the graver issues of the day are
identical, and whose desires lead to the &C
complishment of the same great object.
I cannot permit myself to doubt that the
intellect and patriotism Of the Democracy OF
the Republic are fully adequate to tho solu,
ton OF this important problem, and that
thoughtful consideration and dispassionate
counsels in the primary meetings and in the
conventions of the organization will plainly
point the way to victory.
Very respectfully yours,
