and thai the fruits Of the costly victories
which ve have achieved through immense
difficulties should be preserved. That the
pesce regslned should be cherished. That
the discovered Union. now happily restored,

lies secured 70 this generation should be

stious. That the order established and the
credit ACQUIRED should never be imperiled.

States In the supreme law, and NOT mere

favor American labor. That NO further
grant Of the public domain should be made
10 any railroad or other corporation. That
slavery having perished In the States Its

T.ryitorira- That everywhere tho proteo-
tion accorded TO . citizen Of American
