mined to succeed and bring Pennsylvania
back again to her old position, that caused
our triumph, irrespective of the departure Of
the Pittsburg Convention from the national
code.
The only true course is 10 hold national
creed. "a voice, "It is, itis.") 1t Twill con-
tinue, whilst sectional views or dogmas can
never prevail. Recognise no Pennsylvania
Democracy; no Northern or Southern DEM
ocracy, but American Democracy! JEFF
fersonian Democracy! that noble, inspi.
ring Democratic faith that is alike acceptable
along the granite hills of New Hampshire,
the mountains of Pennsylvania, the shores
of Virginia, the sands Of Carolina, the levees
of Louisiana, the banks of the Mississippi,
the prairies of Illinois, the shores of Michi.
gan, the woods of iowa, the gold mines of
California, and the valley Of; the Oregon.
That inspires us with the nobleness of self
respect, breaks the chain of the oppressor,
vindicates the right of self government, raj
ses MAN from the earth, and teaches him to
walk proudly erect with no superior but that
all-wise Creator, whose image he bears and
whose breath he breathes. Reiterated ap-
plause.) Let US hold to this creed it is
from our fathers under it, our institutions
have prospered; new states added to the
confederacy, now spreading from ocean to
ocean and one bright star after another ap
pearing in the canopy Of freedom; thus for
ming UNION, whose bright example is des-
tined 10 overthrow kings and thrones, and
free the world from bondage.
When Pennsylvania sets up measure or
movement in opposition to the National De-
mocracy, she is always in the wrong. Wit
ness the Bank and Tariff questions, and the
state candidate in 1882 for Vice-President.
We must stand with our brethren of the U.
nion apd go with "the Democracy of the U-
nion for the sake of the Union" Pennsyl-
vania can have no interests that conflict with
the prosperity of the whole nation. We
must become prosperous, through the pros
perity of the country at large. The PEOPLE
found this out, when they strayed off on the
Tariff question, and it required the unfin-
ching frmness OF Vice.President Dallas, a
national patriot and national Democr at, to
set Pennsylvania right with his fearless, and
noble, and casting vote. Qmmense app
lause.) Just so this free soil heresy leads
mer imperceptibly away from patriotism and
|. Democracy. "a voice, $50 it does.")
1t took the Roman frmness of another
great man, to set the mark of the nation-
al creed. The country found him in, Lewis
Cass, the Democratic candidate in our last
campaign. (Cheers.) 1t is mem such as
he-nationol men and national Democrats
who are our towers Of strength in the times of
of peril and danger
But l am accused by the gentleman (Mr.
Magraw) of loving the South. Loping the
South! My country-my countrymen |!
American freedom and freedoms own land
Iplead guilty to the accusation, if accusation
it be; and if did not love the Whole South
as we'll os my rhols country (applause,) 1
would be udworthy of the name Of Ameriean;
unworthy of its glory, and forever unworthy
ofthese great blessings enjoyed by no other
people on earth. When forget jamestown,
Braddock's Field, Yorktown, Virginia, the
Tenth Legion, Monticello. Mecklenburg,
Eutaw, Charleston, Savannah, Orleans, and
San Jacinto, THEN WILL CEASE TO LOVE THE
SOUTH. When forget WASHINGTON, THE
FATHER OF MY COUNTRY; Jefferson, the
author Of the Declaration Of independence i;
Madison, the father Of the Constitution Patrick
Henry, the opponent ofths Stamp Ad; Giles,
Randolph, John Marshall, Macon, Marion,
Will, Washington, Moultrie, Laurens, Pinck-
ney, Jackson, aud his ueto cfths Monster Bank,
then, and not til then, will 1, can I torgut my
noble count,ymsn otthe mueh-abussd, muen-in-
jured, get heroic, dauntless, and patriotic Amer-
ican South. Enthusiastic and long. continued
applause.)
