in its action, and have clearly shown that
now, as heretofore, it alone can be relied
upon to maintain and preserve the great re-

giving and securing liberty aud equal rights
to all citizens alike; in spreading the prin-

reaction in aid of the principles OF the lost

and in the future the treasury of the ma
ton from being depleted by claims orlosses
incurred in the rebellion.
