Forty years ago we had a great
crisis in this country-a little more
than forty years ago-and TO preserve
the Union we poured out our money.
our treasures and the lives of many
Of our best citizens. We desired to
have equality before the law We
desired to have the benefits of free in
stitutions extended to all those that
were just as much entitled to them as
those that already enjoyed them. The
Union was preserved, but our efforts
to preserve our free government must
be unceasing.
In this campaign there has been
brought home 10 all citizens of New
Yerk that they must be alive te what
is essential to the perpetuity of decent,
free, honorable government"
