TO YOUNG MEN OF AMERICA

5 At Indianapolis, Hon. Albert..!. Ber■erklge, United States Senator from Indiana wli iriveted by one of the most ■notable audiences of the campaign in Indiana. Hi* great address to the young uien of America, delivered in Tomlinson hall, was received with the closest attention, the many pointed references contained in tliat address creating the utmost enthusiasm. He said in part: Ladies and Gentlem-eo: America is the young man of the nations. In this campaign more than ■one million young men will enlist under the political banner under which the initial force of their first vote and all the influences that bind men to party will cause them to, march for the remainder of tlieir lives. It is to these young men that I speak tonight.. It is to their future that I appeal. The ('lection of President McKinley seems now an absolute certainty; and no appeal is now necessary to insure the re-election of a man who has been great, enough to understand the ocean currents of human affairs In which fortune lias directed this republic since lie has.been.its President. But I am concerned for the future s« well as for the present. I am concerned for the future of America as a national

entity; and therefore concerned for the political future of every youngman in the republic, in whose heart and mind the future of the republic abides. And so 1 speak to these millions of young men who will bear th? banner of the American people into and through the coming century; l»e----cause the allegiance to the parry which they make in this campaign will, with a great majority, determine their political allegiance far into the corningyears. There are two natural developments that determine, the lines of cleavage upon which political parties are now reforming. Both of them profoundly and elementally affect every young man in the nation. Political parties are no longer made by politicians. Platforms, constructed by politicians, are disregarded by the American people if those platforms fail to state real Issues truly. Political parties and political issues are now constructed ny events. When a people reaches o.ur

period of maturity, political parties have tlieir roots in human nature itself. And so the first new line of cleavage upon which American politi cal parties are is that of construction upon the one hand and destruction upon the other hand. The elements aijwmg the people which arc constructive, the elements that .build, plant, plan and advance, gradually crystallize into one party; and against that party the elements that destroy, disintegrate and retreat, . crystalline* into another party. No matter what names these parties may bear, this is the nature and purpose of each—construction on the one hand, destruction oy the other hand. And this is the first natural development that determines tlie line of cleavage which is separating the American people into two panties for the prjkfnt and for the future. I The second 'natural development, perhaps, grows out of this. When a people reach lls young manhood, as the American people has reached its yoiing manhood, they naturally look beyond their boundaries for opportunities for tlieir energy and enterprise. Tlie world becomes their field. They must look beyond their boundar •les, because they begin to produce more than they can consume; because they have become conscious of a developed strength which the work of mere internal development does not satisfy; because, by the very law oftheir being, they are no longer content to live to themselves alone; bocause they hear the voices of tliq Sea t<3 them; because Visions of ot.ivt. lands rise before them; because an expulsive energy sends them outward to the ends of the earth. It is a law of nature, whose compelling Influence eVeyy nation that has written on history’s pages a record of achievement lins felt and obeyed. And In obeying this natural law of national development, every people have achieved tlieir greatest glory and accomplished their greatest duty In advancing tlie common, civilization of mankind. f But tiicrc are, and always have been, Always will be, those who resist febedlchce to this great law Of national advance, and, therefore, bf international communication, and civilization. In England, there Is/whAt Is called the “little England,” who has opposed England’s policy of colonial and commercial advance, Ih Germany there has been an<i still is the party of "11K lie Germany,” which resists that gretit

development of the German people jWnlclx baa wade Germany’s advance all around the World In the last IP years 'the wottder and envy of. Ger many’a rivals. In Russia there has jbeeb for 200 years the party, of/dittfe Russia rt -thc party that has resisted the expansion of the %tnpt.re of the Venn They obJw*r»a to the secfiflug of Siberia, and 'actually C lwc*v(l for WTtrly 100.. year* Ituaria's ex-pnhslon over that gfSStt dominion, Which all men of all now perceive will soon br Russia!* greatest source of strength. And pistr so In America., there has been and will always be, the party of.’“little ’.l'meri;*.” who has resisted, now resists, slid always wtii resist. Iho. progress of his county because bedecks faith in the American People, and doubt's. after all, tlie •tfength of 'iwir free institutions. And this *rs the second natural de-

velopmeut that determines the line of cleavage which is separating the American people into two parties fox ■the present and for the future. The Party of Construction. And now and for all the future the Republican party is to be the party of construction and advance, the party of an intelligent, systematic and definite foreign policy; the party that, at home, fosters and directs the energies that produce and then finds abroad an outlet for those products; tlie party that sees in the American flag something more than an apologetic emblem, and that beholds in that banner the ensign of the people whom Providence has appointed to lead the world until our work is done. The Democratic party Is nqjv,' and forever will be, the party of reaction against the progressive tendencies of the Republican party; the party that sounds retreat at every suggestion of an advancing and definite American policy abroad. And therefore the question for the millons of young men, who in this campaign are going to enlist in one of those two great political parties is; Where can they find their most, congenial, most natural, .most helpful and most Hopeful comrades? In the ranks of which party can they help to carry the American flag farther-and farther up the bights of glory? Our nation is young. Our country is young. Our flag is young. Our destiny is the destiny of the youth among nations. The question for the young men of this republic to decide is whether they, will enlist with the Republican party, which is harmonious with all those natural

elements of youth, of progress and of “power, and whose foreign policy is the policy of American advance, or with the Democratic party, whi’ch is at war with every constructive development of our civilization, and whose foreign policy is the policy of American retreat. Trusts and Political Parties. There has been growing for years all over the world a tendency towards business consolidation and co-operation, in order to accomplish more simply the greater tasks of production and ex change. This development began in France, in the great department stores of Paris, where, under one roof, the workingmen of that great capital secured the necessities of life at a cheaper price and better quality and with greater convenience than they were able to get them before in small

and poorly-equipped and liigli-priced-sliops. And this development , there has now reached tlie si age where alty the employes in the great department stores are partners in tlie enterprise and stockholders in tlie company, This spirit of consolidation and couiI bination spread nil over Europe. It aflvoted nations as woli its business enterprises. It formed the German empire out of many separate govern- | meats, all weak in themselves, but irresistible when combined. In this country this, great development of combination and co-operation lias taken hold of every branch of industrial life. It lias spread faster and wider in America than anywhere else, simply because tlie American people are more intelligent than any other people] simply because we communicate with eaoli ptlier more tlian_a ny gtlmr people; pimply because we depend up on each other more than ally other people. And all this merely Ifloans that we are more civilized than any other people. We discovered that we could better facilitate business under a single roof than under separate roofs. Capital responded to that great need, and so tlie period of great build-, ings in our cities developed, and to day the wealth, {lie intelligence and tlie business of a city is well measured by the number rind magnitude of wTiftt is called its great buildings. Tills is tlie simplest form of what is called a trust. Tlie farmer discovered that his reaper was better than a scythe; tliaj; the thresher was better than a iiail; that the stacker Was Better than ri pitchfork. ’And all these wizavd-like aids to the science of farming—for farming is ft science—have been adopted by the American farmer. And yet those devices for simplifying the science of farming are merely the development on the farm of tlie same great movement of which the great building is the development in the city. The workingman discovered that as an individual lie was powerless in tlie Important question of flying wages, the hours of work and kll the terms of partnership between labor and capital—for labor and capital is a partnership. Workingmen therefore fanned labor organizations, and when rightly conducted, they Ate one of the most beneficial developments of our civilization. Abd yet they ara'merely the same development In thq world of labor that *tVe great , Combinations of capital kte In the world of capital. Ualirokd men dls-

Covered that by eoWbfb'iug many dlffetent, short and *ts4rate roads bettefr raia-bedfi coxiifl he secured, through ttaftis thade 'isStfelble, faster time at %kined, better service given, cheaper rates 'on fright secured, and yet more employment, lietter wages nnd larger profits to those who operated the railroad f SV.tl so almost every railroad (a! thts ’country has bccu absorbed latte greAt systems. And this Is merely the same devtdoptfieut in the worM of transportation that the labor organization is in the World of labor. And. at nil industry nnd nil enterprise ofArtir civilization advances through tlifs'ten dency to consolidation, eolubfrrtftion and co.-oiibTpi.tion. It .may lic’lh.Tt the day will come wly-p every ' employe of every department store ftt America will be a stockholder in the corpora* lion, as is the ease in “Frant e. The 1115nobs Central railronf! Ims already ive- . gun t*o divide Its proilTs among its em-_

plqyes, uaking every employe of that great railroad a stockholder in the enterprise. All of these developments .on the farm, is the store, on the railroad, in labor and capital of our industrial development, have their roots in the increasing intelligence of the people and the increasing interdependence upon each other wbieh our advancing civilization brings. They are as inevitable as they are natural, and They ought’to be full of blessings for ail mankind. x ßut in their development. evils have developed, just as evils have attended every advance of human progress. No man is perfect. No nation is perfect. No society is perfect. Not even all the people of the world are -perfect. Their progress is full of crudities. Opportunities to Young Men. It is tire plea of the party of destruc tion that this development of our civilization takes all opportunities for advancement awny from . the young men. I am willling to leave that to the young man himself. Suppose a young man has neither money, friends nor unj- asset hut his industry, his courage, his honor and his ability. Would he have as great an oppor /unity if all these coiubinalions woo, destroyed, as he has* today T Could

he find a position in the era of the small shop as easily as in the era as the depariment store? No, because each shopkeeper kept ins own shop Could he start up a shop of liis,own? No, because Ire would not have the money. And you could not start a shop then more easily than yon can now without irioney. This industrial development of which the Yiepartiheut store, the railroad consolidation, tingreat building and the mighty manu-

facturing enterprise are examples AFFORD THE YOUNG MAN lIIS OPPORTUNITY INSTEAD OF TAK- ' ING IT AWAY. Would the young j man have greater opportunities in "the hundred separate blacksmith shops which used to produce the crude plows of tins section of the nation or in the great Oliver Chilled Plow works of our state with its regiments of employes, its heads of departments, its distributing agencies, and all the ramifications of its vast industry? T put it to the young man, himself: Would you rather take your chances of securing a position in one of the blacksmith shops which used to make plows, or in this great manufacturing organization? Would you rather take your chances of securing employment by one of the little storekeepers of former days, or at the hands of a great 1

general mercantile trade like John Wanamaker or Marshall Field? Would there be better opporunity for advancement on one of the little bankrupt railroads of tlie olden time than on tlie tremendous Pennsylvania sys tern, whose operation absolutely demands tiie freshest thought, keenest alertness and the most willing industry? I repeat "that these great enterprises give young men tlieir opportunities.' TJIEItE IS JUST OXE ELEMENT THAT THESE GREAT COXGERXS ABSOLUTELY NEED, AXI) THAT IS YOUNG BLOOD. I YOUNG BRAIN, YOUNG ENERGY | AND YOUNG NERVE. Tlie head of I a great company ill Indiana tlie other { day was asked by the head of a great | financial institution whether his com- j pany <1 i<l want to borrow Somo i •iYiouey. ".\V crime Hie rep!?, S *WE I DO NOT NEED MONEY. WE ARE 1 jLI?T LOOKING f oil ! WHAT WE NEED AND ARE LOOK- j IXG FOR EVERY DAY IS YOUNG , }IEN WITH BRAINS.” These great | combinations of business are only pos- j slide when conducted wHh mathoniati j cal accuracy, with an all-seeing mu- 1 nipresent enterprise; AND SO IT , THAT TfIEIR FIRST NEED, TlfEllt LAST NEED, AND ABSOLUTELY THEIR ONLY INDISPENSABLE NEED, IS THE STRONGEST YOUNG MEN THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE LAND, Examples to Sustain Theory. -u'hTs theory is clear, is it not? What now sii'e the facts? Mr, Schwab, the head of the great Carnegie Steel company, rose from a boy in the works, and he is only 37 years old today George W. Perkins, a vicq-presidem of the New York Life Insurance com pany, and one of the most successful Insurance managers in the world, h 38 years of age, and rose to hisj present position from a boy in one of the company’s western oflScCs, without money or influence. I’he vice-president of tlie OhemiVai, bsuk ot New York, the greatest fVrlvate banking corporation Ux the World is William H. Ported, now 39 years old. He rose to that position from a messenger boy without an Influential friend or acquaintance In all the world. Thews are illustrations within my oWa personal observation. And the history of every successful business enterprise in this country, which the barty of destruction in this campaign declares is takfng

away' from yothk? men their ’Opportunities, Is &h tSie contrary the history of *the ootistknt and certain and absolutely necessary advance of young men frdifc the lowest positions to the Very *Ue*td and genera isVilp of these Aren’t TndUstrinl armies. all of which %t*e 'developments of civilization itself For 'civilization is nothing more than ’tlmy lnter-deiMjidenec of human beings HfjVou each other, instead of the d'e 'gendenee of each individual upon him•self. Therefor,.' civilization requires of each man t! ,f most exacting dis charge of his d. '«*s. And so it is that these greni industrial enterprises of production, transput*..ition and dfstributloo. instead of taking opportunities away from thofyotinif man. afford atf In ’reasrd number of opportuniti- s to tbe voung man. To illstuoy Tills'development of civil- ’ ization. wliiist* two great principles aie 1 combi nil t lon and co-operation, is to d.-* sfroyr civUbuLtluß Itself. _ That If what

that patty's great leader declares to be his purpose. THAT PARTY’S PROGRAMME IS NOT TO REMEDY AN EVIL, BUT TO DESTROY A DEVELOPMENT. A Trite Comparison. This is no new attitude. The sahib objection was made against the steam engine and passenger train; it was said that they would destroy th? sale of horses aod- the business of the stage coach. The same objection was made to tlie improved machinery of farming: it was said that the harvester, the thresher and the stacker would take the bread out of the mouths of the farm hands and make the farmer an independent aristocrat The same objection lias been made to every step of human advance. And all these objections have culminated today in the declaration of the Democratic party, as the party of destruction, that' it proposes a war of annihilation against this whole industrial development. On the other hand, the Republican party, as the party of con-

struction. perceives that this great development is merely another step in our advancing civilization. It p,i> ceives that the elementary principles -of this advance are beneficial to all mankind. Bat it perceives with just as keen an eye that evil attends it, Just us evils attend and-always have

j attended, and always-will attend, every development; of human progress. I just -as each period of our physical ! life has its own peculiar His. But til.' j difference between tin' Democratic party and the Republican party on tin’s elemental question is that one party proposes destruction of this development itseu, whereas the other party proposes to regulate that development and to remedy the evils that attend | it. And so I puW the question to the I young men of the nation whether i there is anything attractive to their youth, their energy, their initiative, their nope in the programme of destruction presented to them by the party of destruction. I can think wh 1 infirm age might possibly ally itself with Mr. Bryan’s proposition to go back to the old days, but not of a single reason why vital, constructing, advancing youth should chain itself to this body of death. On the contrary, by the very nature of your period of life, young man, by the swift currents of your blood of youth, by you? fresh brain, your clear vision, your daring heart, you belong with the. party of construction and not with the party of destruction; with the ’ party that advances as civilization ad ] vances, and not with the party whose ■ perpetual purpose is to reverse tl:e !

wheels of progress. Young Men anti Foreign Policy. I These are the aspects of this eara- | paign vitally affecting every young I man of the ration now and for all his life so far as our internal and Indus- | trial development is concerned. But even more Important are the aspects of this campaign respecting the foreign advance of the American flag, the racial progress of the American people, the capture for the republic of points of power on the ocean highways of the future, the sovereignty of the seas by American ships, and tlie rims- j tery of the World, ip the glorious end. | by the American "nation. On this great issue of national pro- I gross, wja_.se lines go out to every | oeeafi, {ouch cVef? port of every coast j of every country in the world, the lie- I publican party Is the party of advance, and the Democratic party is the party of retreat. It is an issue that will last as long ns the life of every young .man in tlie nation lasts—hay more; it is an issue that will endure as long as the nation endures. And in the conquest of the commerce of the world, by the products of the America! people, and the conquest of the institutions of tinworld by the institutions of the American people, born to ail mankind by our trade and by our administration, 'the question for the young man of this nation to determine is whether they will now enlist under th? Banner of a national policy of advance or under tinflag of a national policy of retreac For these are the two forces that henceforward will divide the American people, so far as our foreign policy is concerned. In which camp will tieyoung American be able in his life time to take tlie greatest part In the glory, power and progress which the future will bring the American peu-

pie? Young men of America, in which party do you think, when your hair shall have become gray, you will lx* able befit to any, “My efforts helped to advance American interests all around the world; my efforts helped to make the American people the sovereign power among the nations; my efforts aided the advance of the American flag; I have had a part, and l have been a part of the glory won Tor the American people by a constructive and advnpcing statesman ship?” Aye; more Than this! Undei which policy will you l»o best aide, m dividually, not only to prosper, but even to survive?

Providing For Our Future. How are we to get markets for our increasing surplus now and in the future? How has England solved tills problem? By control of possessions which would consume her products; by securing control of other possessions which command markets for her productions In territory not under her control; by making her name, her flag and her good* known among the people whom she tv nuts to consume her products. And tints, by a broad poll \v of government England gives to her merchants opportunities for their industrial enterprise that thc.v could no” otherwise have had. Tims England opens the doors of advantage over nil the world to the British,merchant, the [British manufacturer and the British laboring man. How is Germany scour ing Increasing markets for German

products? By the same simple method. How is France securing the same results? By the same nnrural method. How is Russia providing for the future —a future whose tremendous shadow awes every rival but ourselves, a future which will he surpassed only by the future of the American people? By extending her dominion-into unbroken solitudes and over savage peoples, even wlieh the development of re- 18 sources within hbr original borders Is scarcely yet begun, just as America heretofore lias always done. Can wa then longer ask how America is to provide fur her future now? By tlie same methods adopted by the. instinct ot every vital people and approved by the judgment of all their statesmen—even by the same method we, ourselves, have heretofore steadily followed. Where are. such territories to be found? The great islands that Join the shoulder of South America to Florida’s peninsula, and stand like sentinels over the (ail/ of Mexico and the American-made entrance to the Pacific; these are such territory. The

group of material wealth and military and naval power called the Hawaiian Islands, stationed as though by some great strategist in the most inqiortaiii ocean of the future—the ocean which the great scientist Humboldt declared would soon lie the scene of rhe greatest commercial activity of all the globe and of all history; these are such territories. The island einyjre of the East, richer In itself, in vegetable and mineral resources, than any equal area on all the surface of the earth, located at a point through which the lines of the world’s greatest comineyefcial navigation in tlie future must ol' necessity pass arid even pass today, located with reference to tlie numberless millions of Asiatic consumers as a merchant would locate his sales- 1 rooms with reference to iris customers; this island empire constitutes tin' very ideality of such territory. These territories which tints secure our commercial solvency in the future, as England has similarly secured her commercial solvency in the past, as Germany and France are seeking to secure their commercial solvency in the future, the Republican party says ought to belong, do belong, and shall forever continue to belong, to the American people. 'And these territories, thus securing the commercial solvency of tlie American people for the present and for the future, the Democratic party asks you, young men

of America, to help them surrender. In which proposition lies your greatest personal and material safety? In which proposition resides tlie most prosperous future of tlie American people? And the prosperous future of the American people necessarily involves Hie prosperous future of yourself, considered as an individual. And tlds is the material and business eld? ot the -subject. Future Glory of the Republic. Lift your eyes now from the balance sheet of profit and loss involved in this proposition up to the skies where shine tlie stars of American glory and American power in the wonderful future which is dawning as your young manhood dawns, and tell me, young men of America, in whicL of these propositions resides the sur- 1 ost realization of tlie true grandeur of, the nation? Is tlie greatest glory of' tills nation to be secured by cutting ourselves off from the world’s activities? Is it a nobler destiny to keep ' our institutions to ourselves or to ex- ‘ tend their blessings over other lands?. The great movement of today is to spread civilization through the aggrossive, commercial and administrative activity of the. world’s most powerful peoples over the dominions of barbarism, the administration of orderly government where savagery reigns, the development of the resources of lands whose inhabitants have failed to develop them. Is it a trueiTgrandeur for our nation to take part—aye, and to lead In that great movement—or to say to the world, “Behold me, I am the example you should follow.” What is the fate of a man who assumes that attitude of egotistic righteousness? It is tlie contempt of his fellows, and not their regard; and it is the degeneration of himself and not his improvement. So with the nation. If we withdraw within ourselves, our fate is the inevitable fate of internal

dissensions, class hatreds, sectional divisions, and finally of death itself [ through the process of disintegration.! Opportunities Afforded. Think of the careers this plan of material progress opens to the young men of the republic in every direction. Our consular service must be Improved to meet the needs of this policy of advance; there are places in that service for you, young men, if you have the necessary ability and character. Our diplomatic service must be improved, broadened, systematized to meet the necessities of the republic as che world’s first power. There are places In that service for you, younrg men, if you have the necessary ability* and character. We are to become the administrator of American possessions which need American guidance and direction; and the strictest, ablest, purest, administrative service in the world willl be that provided by the American congress for-the government of our fortunate dependencies. There are places In that service for you, young men. If you have the necessary ability and character. But ill thsse places In all the service of the republic are few and arduous trad poor compared wMi opportunities afforded vet?, youu: men. !u private life, by the p!r.i prop*-ed by the,par vof construction Because tins .ever ; _p’au of national advfin <*■-will ve; r tlon .create t- * land, hum h con ' i. ’ ') the kh. wi i? acs

? ■‘ir'wm throughout the entire world of American enterprise. And In each of them 1b a place for you, young men of America, according to your ability, your industry and your character. Preventative of Militarism. Can the young men of this nation be frightened by the words “Imperialism,” “militarism” and all such shibboleths of fear? Who can establish 'an. empire, young men of America, without your consent? Where will come the soldiers who will set their bayonets at the throat of onr free institutions. if you, young men of America, "yourselves. do not become those soldiers? .Militarism! Imperialism! Young men of America, will you strike your colors to a fear, and that fear a fear of yourselves? Your ftfftre is In your own hands. Your fate is in your own hands. There can be no standing army which you ydurselv ;;-do not provide from among yourselves. Such a standing army Is powerless except as you equip if; purposeless except as you direct it. And how will this programme of national advance require standing armies? England, whose possessions make crimson the

map of every continent and every sen, has les's than 90,000 English soldiers in all-her world wide possessions. Tec rest of her standing arm v. which a’ - gether is smaller than that of ;■ European power, is required by Eu ’penn conditions’ arid not by her ct" iai conditions. Study the standing f mies of the world. Study the cai that produce them. Yon cannot f! a single instance of militarism caus ■ by a colonial policy. On the contrary, in America, such a policy will prevent a standing army. Our energies will have an outlet; prosperous employment will keep busy those hands which, when idle, are always dangerous, for idleness in the ranks of labor, in the ranks of business, in the ranks of finance- aye, even in the ranks of professional life—ls the only danger this nation has to fear Class hatred, sec tional strife, internal dissension—these are the rocks on which tills republic will founder, if It ever does; and it is from these rocks of disturbance at home that our active policy abroad draws us safely away. It is better to employ a few American soldiers to maintain that order which American administration will bring In other lands, and at the same time supply a field abroad for American activities and work for American hands at home, than to employ many soldiers at home to suppress riot, disorder and insurrection here, caused by the very fact that we have failed to find an outlet abroad for American energy and a market abroad for American surplus products. Standing army! All this nation Is a standing army. There is a soldier in tlie breast of every free man. Our blood ,1s tlie most militant blood on earth. Indiana furnished 40 years ago, with what was then her scanty population, nearly ”20,000 soldiers—more soldiers than have been enlisted bythe government from the beginning of the Spanish war till the present hour. Indiana alone, today, can place in the field, in a single year, 500,000 armed men. Militarism in America! It is here, indeed—here in the blood we young men of America have inherited from our fathers. Every generation of Americans have been soldiers. Militarism hi America! Yes, indeed there is enough militarism in the blood of the free young men of this republic not only to defeat the world in arms but to defeat every military uprising among ourselves which might seek to overthrow the republic. The future of the Institutions of the republic are m the hands of tlie republic’s young men, and in their hands those institutions are secure. I have faith in you, young men of America. I have faith in our institutions. I have faith in our flag. But the party of destruction doubts you. fears you, denies the strength of your patriotism, the power of your minds, the purity of your purposes. The party of destruction fears that you will change the flag of the republic into a flag of an empire. Will you rt nlisl with them or with us? Will you march with the party of advance, whose very soul and breath of life U faith in the American people and belief in the vitality of American Institutions; or will you march with the party of retreat, whose very soul and breath of life is disbelief in the American people and infidelity to American Institutions?

If the party of retreat tells yon that this policy of administering American government in lands whose people cannot govern themselves, robs those people of their liberties, ask them what liberty is? Ask them whether turning these people over to the slaughter of each other is giving them liberty? Ask them whether giving them orderly government Is denying them liberty? Ask them whether building schoolhouses for ail their children Is denying them liberty? Ask them whether the administration of Impartial Justice by Incorruptible judges is denying them liberty? Ask them whether the I guardianship of free speech, among ! them Is denying them liberty? Ask them whether the bestowal on them of every one of the sacred privileges enumerated in onr bill of rights Is »icnylng them liberfy? Ask the party of destruction and retreat whether they will not have more of the blessings of both liberty nnd life under your administration. you sons of an admin’s *?' tratlng race, than they would have If 1 left to the anarchy tludr iHsficnsioq 5 i would produce?
