    who by a certain mighty weight of combined eloquence , and address , and sincerity , shall know how to consolidate your efforts , and bear them triumphantly upon your purpose .

    All we say to the Whigs is , - ^ Prove to us that you wish to move onward . Be you our leaders , if you will , but then be undoubtedly such ; and do not pass another year in leaving the question unsettled .
