" promPt". and plain." .You seek to know whether I am desirous for a netuina tion by the American patty, as their candi date for Congress in the Third Congressional District. If, by. this question, you mean to ask me whether I approve the doctrines of the Phila delphia platform, I unhesitatingly answer no: My political life has-been devoted ,to the principles of Republicanism as proclaimed and ThaintainedrbY the. Declaration of %de pendence and the Constitution of the United States. I have alwaYs been a Democrat of the Jefferson school, I believe the doctrines taught by that sire of the Revolution are ines timable to the world; and politically I' shall worship at that shrine tu,long as I live. Wit it nv Views; I - cOuld not, - 'without being% guilty of treaSon to mankind, subscribe to a doe trine which proscribes - a than- on account- of his religion. - .I claim the privilege of war-. shipping God according to the dictates of my own conscience and .nu than can rightfully punish me-at disadvantage lbr so - doinLr.

Even if these clauses were - not in - the eJustillution I should be of the ,same. opinion. - - snit thoroughly convinced that kunioa of politics Ind religion has been • the curse of every country where such union has.previtiled.
