We have endeavored in a plain way
to set the matter before the eyes of
our fellow citizens. We invoke

right OF every citizen to indicate his
Z preferences. With this in view we
offer to the forthcoming conventions
and to the people the name of a man
for the presidency of the United States
whose life in public and in private rep
resents those distinguished virtues
which adorned the days and the deeds
of the earlier time of this republic, d

people of the United States have him
in their hearts. as he has had their
interests in his purpose through all

man to the people. 1t is true that he

been identified as that of no other
living man with this great cause. But
had his services been less demanded
and less noticed in this direction, the
people would still have recognized in
him for other labors a statesman of
the purest type. His only poverty has
been that of purse-in all things else
the generositiSs of man to man; in
kindness OF deeds for his fellows and
in the study and doings of a mighty
career he has been one of the most
opulent American citizens of any age
In submitting this name to the people
we remind them that just a generation
ago, from the heart of the boundlesS

God, there arose an emancipation who
was powerful in the work of human
deliverance. BY his wisdom and cour-

it, that sublime history may be re-

will be lifted to power. where, by his
wisdom and courage, providentially dl-
rected, more millions may be made
free from chains as calling as those of
