here appeal 10 our fellow-citizens Of cv-
cry form OF political connection to nm
dcrtake with us this first and most press
ing patriotic duty for the democracy of
the whole country. We do here reatirin
Our faith in the permanencc of the fed
eral Union, our devotion to the constitu-
ton of the United States with it, amend
ments universally accepted as a final set
Element of the controversy that enjen-
dered the civil war; and do here record
our steadiast confidence in the perpetuiiy
of Republican selt-govcrnment ; in abso-
lutte acquiescence in the will of the ma.
iOrity, the vital principle of Republic in
the supremacy Of the civil over the
military in the two told separation of
church and State for the sake alike of
civil and religious freedom; in the equal
ity of all citizens before just laws of their
own enactment; in the liberty of individ.
ual conduct unvexed by sumptuary laws;
in the faithful education of the rising
generation, that they may preserve, en-
Joy and transmit these best conditions of
human happiness and hope, we behold
the noblest products Of hundred years
OF changetul history. But while uphold
ing the bond of our Union and great
charter OF these our rights. it behooves "a
free people to practice, also, that eter-
nal vigilance which is the price of liberty

tablish in the hearts OF the whole people OF
Inc Union eleven years ago happily res
cued from secession of States, but now
to be saved from a corrupt ccntralism,

the rapacity of carpet-bag attorneys has

the financial imbecility and immortality

of peace, has made no advance toward

sumption by wasting our resources and
eXhausting all our surplus income
