injurious consequences to business
would arise from s ay present move

should have no resumption without
the Government giving timely no

of the Treasury had given public

at the misapprehension of liiy'church

Just now those angry voices come
to me as rude winds roar through

among all nations of the lils-rty
wherewith Christ makes men free.
Iu doing this 1 will cheerfully work
with others, with parties, any and
all men that seek the sumo glorious
ends. But 1 will not become a par
