That the reduction of the national ex-
penditures during the last fiscal year by
more than twelve millions of dollars, fol-
lowing n constant reduction during the
whole period of the present administration,

tho peace in fact which have taken place Of
disturbance in the restored states, and
makes haste to testify its anxiety to meet
reconciliation with confidence, and every

That we have no more earnest desire
than that our brethren at the south, with
out distinction or exception of race or
party, may enjoy to the fullest extent those
incstimable blessings to whlc', we owe all
our own prosperity universal free educa-
ton and the security OF personal rights

That the republicans of Massachusetts

of men trained in republican teachings and
services, we protest that it would be the
hight of imprudence to commit all that has
been achieved for the union, freedom and
human tights to the keeping of party
which had no heart for the work and has
no stake in the glory.
