ed his allegiance. Let us exalt patriot
ism and moderate our party contentious.
THE PATRIOTS DUTY.
Let those who would die for the flag On
the field of battle, give better proof of
their patriotism and higher glory to their
country by promoting fraternity and JUS
tice. Party success achieved bv unfair
methods, or practices that partake of the
nature OF revolution, is hurtful and evan
escent, even from a party standpoint.
We should hold our differing opinions in
mutual respect, and having submitted
them to the arbltrament of the ballot.
should accept an adverse Judgment with
the same respect we would demand of
our opponents if the decision had been in
our favor. No other people have gov
ernment more worthy of respect
and love, or a land SO magnificent
in extent, so pleasant to look upon, 80
full of generous suggestion to enterprise
and labor. God has placed upon our
head a diadem, and laid at our feet
power and wealth beyond definition or
calculations but we must not forget that
we take these gifts upon condition that
justice and mercy shall hold the reins of
power, and the upward avenues of hope
mnst be free to all people.
HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
l do not mistrust the future. Dangers
have been in frequent ambush along our
path, but we have uncovered and van
pushed them all. Passion has swept
some of our communities, but only to
give us new demonstration that the
great body of our people are stable, pat
riotic, law-abiding. No political party
can long pursue an advantage at the ex-
pense of public honor, or by rude and
indecent methods, without protest and ia
tai disafection in its own body. Peaceful
agencies OF commerce are more fully re-
vealing the necessary unity of all our
communities, and the increasing inter-
course of our people promoting mutual
respect.
We shall find unalloyed pleasure in the
revelation which our next census will
make of the swift development of the
great resources of some of the States.
Each State will bring its generous con-
tribution to the aggregate of the nations
increase and when the harvests from the
fields, cattle from the hills and ores of
the earth shall have been weighed count
ed and valued, we will turn from the n
all to crown with highest honor the
State that has most promoted education,
virtue, justice and patriotism among its
people.
