The intelligence OF the people. when
directed toward any question. would solve
that question right. The people were
now engaged in a great campaign The
lines were drawn. People were thinking
as they had not thought before in re-
cent years. No one could tell how the
question would be settled. The result
could not be declared before the votes
were counted. But this much he knew,
that that cause which was justthough 1t
might fail for time would ultimately
prevail. CApplsuseJ
There Was nothing omnipOtent but truth
