sarY OF the Battle of New Orleans

the point and thoroughly Ameri-

Ny friends as Democrats, let us Invoke
the memory OF the hero Of New Orleans
against an alliance expressed or implied
with Gr at Britain, especially when the
representative OF the British Govern.

dict Arnold Of the cause Of Irish Home
Rule and the instIgatOr Of the war
against the struggling patriots in South
Africa.
We need no alliance with Great
Britain. All we need now, as IN the
past, is a firm reliance on our own
greatness, our own abilit,, our own
integrity, our own power to defend our
rights, protect our citizens and legislate
for ourselves ou every proposition
regarding our own welfare, our own
happi e,s and our own we'll being.
