~ which preserved our Union through civil
conflict will prove a match Tor tho intreaea OF
scbctutne politicians; aud that wo shall con-
vince Christendom OF our ability to maintain
free institutions, e,--rcassuring TIM MASSES of the
Old World, Who arc struggling tuTatds inc
san1a goal.

State by tho Seuate Committee, which fully sits
tains the Returning Board In Its decision.
