The campaign for 1S72 will be a gigan
tic and convulsive struggle. Nothing
like it has been seen since 1810, and in
the momentous and fundamental char
acter of the issues involved, we trust
nothing like it need occur again in the
history of the United States. We hope
■ it will result in the re-establishment of
the great foundation principles of civil
and personal freedom and its time-
honored muniments—of the local in
dependence of the States—of freedom
of the ballot—of the impartiality of
public justice—of the integrity of Ex
ecutive administration—of the inviol
ability of the habeas corpus—of. ..the
triumph of the law.and theConstitution
