And so has it been with every nation which has existed and exerted an important influence on the destin es of the world. They have not labored to extinguish or suppress tbe seneimant of nationality, but rath?r to ?waken and strengthen a national spirit. .Vow in view ?f these trnvha, Is It notnt-aage to snpnoee that we most renress every sentiment of nationality^ So If we would e Speculate and degrade the nation and uatlt it to play an Important pari In the history of the world, we could not better manage It than by repressing the otwwi h of national sentiment. If our republic has already done anything worth* of h'stA'lc record? if her children have any claim* to renown, It is because she ha* made her Institution* to bear ths impress of her own greatne**.

But the future of that party in that section of tbe eountry will depend entirely upon toe action to be taken bare in relation to the that body. lie thought tt right to stats fairly that unless thsy had a platform so constructed aa to comprehend more than tho one Idea of nativls* the^ y could never Pticceed tfcere.
