Are you prepared, fellow democrats, by elec.ing
the ticket presented for your suifrages, TO ndorse
the after part OF this resolution, or are you pre-
pared to admit that your efforts for the past two
years have been calculated to produce the resuts
so asrmingIy portrayed to you Are you pre-
pared to repent your and sanction the course
OF that mere sem6idnce of q man, who pretends to

would advocate the cause Of "tcee soil for free
labor and freemenin VIII you now violate the
sacred principle OF truth, by scsion at variance

freedom has become & mere abstraction, 40 sup
nose tho sacred principle OF truth has aso become
mere abstraction, mere one idea, and az such,
perhaps it may be your duty TO disregard ana
violate 1t.
Did YOU MOI, fellow Democrats, a! he period re.

prevonsy acted with other political parties, and
Gid YOU not then solemnly pledge yourselves to
them TO light on and fight ever under:h banner
which you then proudly unfured VIII you now
violate that solemn pledgel But II liberty and
truth are such mere distractions honor, which
usually aocomp anies truth, may, with propriety,
be put in the same democratic category, and you
may DO required to disregard that hitherto sacred
principle. VII you now violate the Obligations of
common humanity, by yielding in the cause of the
oppressed ana eDBAVed ol yOuE country
But what need to ask the queationl II liberty,

Are you prepared, follow Democrats, to join In
the cry THAT the country needs repose," and
thus sacrifice duty for rest will admit that she
country needs repose but it Is an entirely different
repose from that sought for by thoae compromiaers
at the aest OF Government, who have compromised
nothing but their own political position and their
country's honor The repose which the country
needs ard which it will shortly obtain, is repose
to be brought about by discussion and agitation un.

itself from all responsibility for the continuance
of Slavery within the limits OF the national do
main AS in the natural world, "bhe true re.
poee OF the earth il in change of ito productions,
40 in the fp0tical, true repose Is only TO DC
found in @ change Of measures required by the
changes ofthe times and oIsoclesy. Had such cry
for repoae az tina, raised by the comptomiaers been
listened 10 by forefathers we should at this day
have been repoAing as oolonsts in the arms OF the
mother country In the war of 1912, had the gal
ans defenders Of the country instead of following
the campaign on the Niagara frontier, instead 0
emulating the prowess exhibited by our soldiery
at Chippewa and Lundy'e Lane, and closing the
war in blaze OF glory on the battle plains OF New
Orleans had they, instead, listened TO the CRY fol
,epose which came from portion OF the eastern
section of this nation, they would probably have
encouraged the Hartford Conventonista in their
double deaign Of making separate peace with

Feil0t0 DemOcrats-The only political reposs
which we can take ia that wholesome rest which,
after we have fought and gained the battle for
freedom, viii be rendered douby agreeable by the
conviction that we have done our duty, and that
