Thus did Parson Brown!o", The disiia9 nlsncd

The Wing parry 90 Tor Taylor they must &C IL at
a venture" and wait four years before they can
with certainty count on chance for their princi-
pies; and in this declaration was he endorsed by
The original Taylor man. Now, there is no more
noble spectacle than a people Striving with true
resolution for their principles. Every honest
breast must respectthem. And il defeated no one
can rightly triumph over them. The Wings act
ed thus in IA and never triumphed over their
defeat. But thus are they not acting now. why

Perhaps shall be answered with thatunsub-
stantial abstraction that principles are mol Aea-
sures, and that giving the measures OF "A the go

Mr. Crump then concluded his speech with a
glowing and eloquent tribute TO Lewis Cas- :
He was man on whose honor there was no
stain or spot 10 be found. Al home and abroad,
in The Senate and in The Council Chamber, in
debate and in the diplomatic bureau, he had
proven himself a STATESMAN, capable Of ad-
mnislerng The affairs of this government
Dull h,, o;e -
like Bayard, without tear and without re-
preach. The opinions OF these men were well
known. They were the representatives OF the
glorious principles Of Democracy, declared 10
The world in the Resolutions OF The Baltimore
Convention. They were representatives, also, OF
principle which was FAR above any Of The COM
mon topics OF party wariarc-the accountable
OF public officers! /; was on that Rock Of I.,ber-
" that they stood. They were no, brought for
ward 10 the people for their dazzling qualities,
bright as they were, but as the Representatives OF
these principles.
Amid long ana continued applause, Mr. Crump
sat down, and Mr.. r. T. Daniel Immediately
rose TO his feet. We have written off our notes
of Mr.. Crump's speech 50 fully, that we fear we
shall have TO contract our powers during the
rest OF this report Mr.. Daniel commenced with
high and well-deserved compliment 10 Mr.
Crump on the iofbearance and candor which he
had displayed towards III Wing candidate, and
expressed desire 10 initiate il in this discussion,
T as he never does so anywhere else, We may add |
The Democratic speaker, said Mr.. Daniel, who
| has all the principles, did moi state one 10 this
meeting in The course OF his speech He con.

And never did any gentleman commit more
unhappy mistake Than did Mr. DAME N putting

concillatet Bolts ana his friends, who have done
nothing but sick 10 their principles and instead
| OF This he inflicted wanon insult, and sen. them
| away in "rilcd" condition
Mr. Daniel said that since Mr. Crump had
not told us his principles, he must go 10 the
| Baltimore platform" for them. Now that
platform says ne, aflirms what nobody denies,
denies what nobody afiirms, and affirmed grea
many things, that neither they who made i. nor
any one else, believed Mr.. Daniel then wen,
into an examination of the Baltimore resou
tons, ridiculing them, Sec. But this par, Ct his
speech We shall not report, for the simple rca
son that he has made it in so many places, and
at so many times before, that i, would be all
stale matter 10 large portion of our readers.
In Powhatan he made il, in the last club house
speech he delivered he made it again; and how
many other times we know nol-but they are
pretty numerous, we arc sure, as il has evidently
gone through proof OF mental sleico.y pin. Il
