Il is almost impossible for any rehecling
man TO look upon the demoraI.zing and
politically deterlorating tendencies of the
Iast three years, without feeling that there
is a necessity for the true friends of our Re-
publican Institutions making a firm and
decisive stand against them.


Those who will rise above partisan pre-
judice and passion, and also above indiffer-
ence produced by hackneyed political
themes and discussion-and consider seri>
ously the period in which we live-weigh
the circumstances of the times and the
characters of public men will see the i'm
portance of guarding with the greatest vig'
lance every avenue 10 moral and political
corruption.


When strict and unbending principles Of
Public Integrity are relaxed OF diScoGnten
anced-and the lust of Domnation.--the
love of Office-and other passions after the
profit and honors of place are let loose and
inh1med, the ruin ola nation is not far
off.


Such are the charactr riStics of the pre-
seqt peElQd. Our-wofd4s s-maE- -hesaf ae-a,
.beir country, It's institutions, its Liberties,
and It's high honor to reflect that the mis-
chiefs which have laid low other Republics
multiplying in ;his our beloved Land in ev-
ery form. They are springiug up from
sources never conceived, nor provided a
gainst by the Fathers OF the Republic
| Nav new fountains are opening daily un
der our feeL--Time and hour have, not We
run though the roughest day.


In view ofthese things, we say to th'


Whigs-to all especially who may feel IN


clined 10 reEose after SO long and SO exhauS


ing a course of political exertlon-wl
| YOU watch or sleepR
awake arisel or BE FOREVER FALLEN!
