Sir if the Democratic party were as reckless Hpr4
ais, and as regardless Of the precep,s ofihe hESan
religion as the federalists th could display banner
drawn from Holy Writ more applicable and more POI
tent Than this That banner would be representation
Of our Saviour scouging the crtpt money changers
and fraudulent bankers from the temple Of lbers We
could also demonstrate divine vengeance which has
been visited upon The workers Of The Iquitesof 1844'
and the same vengeahcs which most assuredy viii a.
gain orertake them from like iniqutfes By Illustrations
drawn from Holy Writ. The motives which governed
sennecharib were not more unworthy, nor more at waf
with tie principles of Justice and the equal rights Of
mankind than were the motives and designs Of the fedT
eral party nis40 nor were his boastng empty haugh7
y and vain gaseonades after his victories than were
those of the ederaliss in ls4O aer their victory and
yet, to teach thai proud and naughty nohafch that he
had master who he'd his dssinies and hs le III His
hand the Almightytook hirnin hand i'd his proudest
Moments AT the time that he fancied himself already
possessed of Jerusaleu single blast He dispersed
all his proud and LOFTY hopes, sent His angel Of death
and smote hundred and four score thousandof his
choicest troops in night put hook In his nose and
bride in his lips, though be had been wild beast
and led him back tohis own dominions COVERED with
shame and infamy through the midst of those atohsS
who but little before had beheld him in all hts pride
and hatghiness So it was with NebuehadnezzaF who
with all his selfish wisdom was but rod in hand ofheS
Almighty to chasise Tyre q Jerusalem. When on bis
march to bssiege those cities he was noteven permitted
to choose which he shcld first attack when chad
executed the divine will Of which he was but an isuu-
meht he atrogated to himself ye wisdom and poverty
which be had desoated those cities and made rapves
and slaves of their inmates; and he proudly CON-
iemplang the ornaments and grandeur which bss swass
to add to Babylon, by the spuils Of victory altoim-
mortaze himself to crafty histhirst for glory, andto
perpetuate his name and his fame that was the moment
the Almighty chose to humble that ambitious charch;a
at mutnent too, when he was surrounded BY hisii
court and officers each trying to excel in faerihg the
deeds power glory and omhipoence of bs fnonafth9t
Then was that voice erribeas an earthquake
source hsesh, pruhounces his SENTENCE declares to!
him tina. his kingdom had departed from him, that he
should be driven from ne and that his dwelling should
be with the beasts OF the field The sentence was exeS
cuted He grass as BEAST his nails became as the
nails Of abeas and this hair as the feathers Of an ea
gle. Divine nterpositon at thatday not more nans

Il How easy sir would IT. be for us, We're we proianeis
enough to display on banners those divine interpretations
and divine chassemens We could also display anotn-
er banner, beare which you should wilt and wither.
That banner would display your basphemy in hemoek
administration OF the Lords slipper in your drunken ca
rousa in some Of which ii Is said you substituted for
the representatives ofthe blood and body Of our SAVIOR
parehed corn and hard cider. But is not Our mode Of
electioneerng we are abotei dignity of purpose as
well as regard tor morality and thesacred admonions
holy writ will prevent us from such proane demopstra-
TONS We shall march to certain victory; but we will
display at the head of our columns bat one banner that
will be the American strides and stars wrths simple
inscription Of aG for priaeips and nothing er men,"
Mr.. Chairman, to man there is no greater mystery
than man. These is nothing which it is our righ and
our duty to know that are more ignorant OF than
ourselves The motives which govern u.s. the reasons
of our action, and the impulses which npel and hurry
us, are frequently mysterious to US. We are frequently
the subjects ofhope OF fear Of EXCITEMENT of anger and
of despair and under those Influences reason Is some
times dehroned wheh no one can give an account Of
the causes which operate upon u.s. and all ,is TOO,
well in mental in physical sense There have been
any instances of large armies consisting Of six or u
hundred thousand men, who have proved aintinciblkl
wherever they marched under circumstances the most
Eperous, and hardships the most discouraging Isay

suddenly seized with universal panic andpu to rot In
terror shame, and confusion when there was nothing
serious seemed TO await them Diseases Of body and
diseases Of mind have each in their turn periodically
overspread the earth when no human sagacity scOnd

of human understanding. The human mind is hables
