town canvassing." (2)

will do its duty, our majority will be over two thousand. Trust

facts, work now for God and Humanity, for Liberty and Justice and
the perpetuity of the free institutions of our fathers." (4)

drums for more. Stand to your guns, soldiers of Freedom, and do not
sleep upon the eve of battle. Remember the word, not less than 100,000
majority." (5)
