_The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of
the United States,--the two immortal title-deeds of American
liberties._ Defenders of the Constitution, let us not forget the
principles of the Declaration, but, for the equal support of both,
in the spirit of our fathers, without compromise, and with a firm
reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, mutually pledge to
each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
HON. JOHN P. BIGELOW, &c., &c.
