It has been, by petty divisions, fostered
by personal and small, ambitions of po-

wealth and monopolies. Whoever helps
to secure the union of the producing
classes for the common veal does noble

in essentials, hberality and justice in all
things. Every Democrat capable OF
recognizing these as indisputable pripci-

patriotism to act upon them. Whoever
prevents unity, for that and SO far, is an
enemy Of the people and of the country.

should so be treated by every intelligent
citizen. fs18 g wv
