James H. Alderman wrote from Jacksonville, Illinois:--

“A thousand thanks for your incomparable speech, expounding

and defining the true theory of a republican government.

Yes, I say a thousand thanks. I have always believed

the Constitution was fully adequate for every exigency.

Congress, therefore, must of necessity guaranty to every

State a republican form of government.”
