We are called upon in tie name
of the Great Jehovah and the CONT
mental congress to surrender up
TIconderOga. In the name of the
Great Jehovah and the constitution
of our country we decline to surren-
der. They say something has hap
pened in the Territory, the Peoples
party are crying what shall we do to
be saved" They tell us to repent
and come out from among them.
We will come out on the 7th Of No
vember and elect the Hon. John T.
Game. These are reasons why we
IOIG.
Let US recur to fundamental prin-
ciples. You have heard that our
fore fathers enunciated the princi-
pies that all men are created free
and equal, they did not limit the
application, no matter who the man
might be, whether Christians or
Mohamedan, whether Jew or Gen
tile, heather or infdel, the princi-
pie was universal in its application,
mo- matter from what land he came;
whether from the legioned castles of
Europe, the burning sands of
Arabia, the kingdoms of the Orien-
tails or the wave-washed islands of
the sea, the principal was with
them as universal as the domi ion
Of Jehovah.
They also enunciated the idea
that liberty can only exist where
the people governed participated in
its administration Of government.
On this foundation they reared the
temple of liberty, the grandest and
most glorious structure the world
has ever witnessed.
The Peoples party are accused of
disloyalty. When did we have our
last revolution? When did we rebel
against the national government?
When did we unfurl to the breeze
any other flag than the stars and
stripes?
The Peoples party were the first
to unfurl the flag of our country on
the spot where we stand. They were
the nrst to unfurl it OH the Pacific
coast-they did so in the name of
the government of the United
States.
L maintain that any party who
seeks to establish in the heart of the
United States any other than a
republican form Of government, is
disloyal to American institutions.
The Liberal party are trying to-day
to secure for the people of this Ter
ritory a government that does not
contain one element of republican
ism; a government similar in every
respect to the one against which our
fOrefatherS commended. Hence, that
party are disloyal.
In conversation with prominent
Liberal a few days ago, asked him
upon what principle he justified the
executive of this Territory in rela-
ton to the certificate business. He
said, on the principle that the end
justified the means. That is, the
right of man to trample upon the
law, and disregard it whenever be
sees fit, to accomplish his ends.
l repudiate such a doctrine a;
monstrOuS in a republican govern
ment. Let this principle be perpet
uated and established and what vii
be the result? Crash after crasl
