run feeblY and suegshly, as If indicating by lnelr
perpetual ebbing, our approach 10 that lmmeasula'
bic sea of disuuion and anarchy. IN which all tne
Republics that have gone before Us, nave founu
alike their destruction and their grave Away, then,
with this dangerous and demcnIac spirit! Let the
indignation of the whole country blast II! Letthe
mantle Of detesiaton and oblivion fall over It for
ever and let all parties unite TO relieve the country
Of its dstrcsses and place its liberties upon foun-
daIon never 10 be shaken!


Above ALL gentlemen. let US cultivate spirit of
State pride. Let US glory in our Commonwealth
and endeavor to augment, If possible erclalms to
the attention and respect not only et her sister
States but of the world. She is sleeping giant
ess-we must-we will arouse and call her TO the
exercise of the power she possesses, tor making all
who dwell within the shade of her protection, con-
tented, honorable and happy. Her sons have but
TO aoiH IL and it will be done. And TO effect this
we must remember not TO waste the peoples money
upon schemes extravagant foolish or upon lnsol-
vent and worthless banks other corpora ions
Let US look chiefly to the interests of the Farmer
the Mechanic the Merchant. the Artisan and the
puor laborer who earns is daily bread by the sweat
Of his brow.


FINALLY. gentlemen, from indications TOO plain to
be mistaken there appears to be strong desire
that should you in the ensuing Legislature,
and ii elected, | only assure you that viii
make every exerlion to relieve the country and 10
promote any measure for the beLeht of my mme-
diaie constituents which may not be inconsistent
with the higher allegiance owe TO the established
laws and constitutions of the land. And request
you to bear in mind, that whilst genuine Demo-
crnt shall be swift to advocate every measure sus-
tanned By sound policy which may enanate from
the great democratic party on the other hand,
shall not be slow To give my counHnance and sup
port 10 any plan, from whatever source il may
come. which may seem to me calculated to confer
lasting good and happiness upon the county,
Enterlaining high regard for you and those you
represent, individually and collectively,


remain your r


Most obedient servant,


JAMES B. SHEPARD.
