pledge his fellow man eternal allegiance to
protect and defend the inalenable rights of
all men before and in the institutions of
the Government.

ability TO produce, which means occupa
ton for all able to WORK, and a Just share
of the product of labor, that comfort ant
luxury may be secured to the industrious
instead of the profiigate.

the fire of patriotism from the embers o
the revolution, and from now on, day by
day, fan them with the tornado of deter
mination, and make them burn brighter
and stronger until in all the land ther,
shall be no hiding place for political chic

until the fiery elements of the Justly indig
