principles I hid no sympathy ; and'as long
as - its banner . floated, it found in me a con:
stunt and ard,ent_opponent. The . issue* which
separated " you from the Democratic party
have been settled by the ju'dgment ,of your
countrymen ; your party no longer has an
existence ; its banner has been stricken down
by the bands of its friends, an+ its ;limbers
have found refuge in the etobracer of Aboli
tionism and Know Nothingism: ' Those of
