The great heart of the Americ
people beat responsive to truth al
justice. As they have tried, test,

faithful; as they have seen the matte
prosper under his rule as it has new
before prospered, they will stand |
and defend, and, when the ballot be

soldiers, he underwent during Il

gentleman, there will be various pr,
ferences. Some of US at first wi
favor one, some another; but W
shall strive to obtain the best mar
and when the choice is ultimatel
made, l trust that we shall all fec
that we have succeeded.

adopted it is not for me to anticipate
but along with other important doc
trines it will undoubtedly contain tn,
widestrecognition of human freedom
and the clearest affirmation of tn,
duties which the government owes t.
its laboring masses, wherever EN-
ployed, in town on in country. AnG

decaying remnants of a once power
full party, but now so feeble that it il
crying piteously to its enemy for sue
cor, or an incongruous alliance o.
ill-assorted factions, with no bond Of
union but the greed Of Office, or al
Of them combined, we shall go forth
conquering.
