forth, and the kind OF individuals expected
to be present, plainly stated. 1t is q call for

prscticed in all the departments Of the gen
eral governments, to meet in council with
the onlyorganize5 political party which at
this time stands in open and svowed hostil-
ity TO corruption Of all kinds. 1t is an in
vitation to good mon everywhere. to assem-
BILE and reason togeeher, and take such steps

sible, the continued robbery oS the public
treasury. In such assemblages only EN-
we hope tor success. Let all en- list
