The fact presents itself that I am in the contest without regard being had either to n.erit or (|ualilication, so far as 1 am concerned. 1 am not willing, or is it just tome, that 1 continue the canvass under this state of things.

But next to these, in his great ! heart, wtood also an abiding devotion to a i constitutional Union. Who will deny this?

Where, then, wc nsk, would tho "principles of .John ('.
