In our viow, it covers the whote duty of true patriota at this enaw, and, coming as it does from a man who both in public and in private ife, as well by the dignity of the ono aa by the punty of the ether, has given full guaraotee for the l'.onesty and steadfastnese with which ho hoíds bis opimons, this matily confession of polit ical faith wil! go to the hearta of the people as u obviously comes froni tbe beart oí the writer : "Wearenpt of tboso who, in this hour of the nation's need, would seek to repose an undue reliancu in the Land of man.
