maintained the integrity Of the Wings in
power, and exposed the frauds Of their op.
ponen,s. There are other points in my col.

Much that he has said Is but the repetition
of his old and STALE stump speeches in Ohio.

boys can answer successfully at their district
schnol.house meetings. on winter evenings.
His old song Of "alien and sedi'ion laws"
&c. therefore pass. He says:
"Now, sir, | assert, without the fear of
contradiction, ,ha. for fifty years every dis.
,inc,ive measure Of policy, advocated and
supported by The an,i.Democra.ic party, in
opposition 10 the Democracy has been meas.
urably abandoned by the parry, and con-
demned by the verdict Of the American peo.
pie. And upon the other hand, assert with
equal confidence, that for more than half
century, every distinctive measure OF policy,
advocated and supported by The Democracy,
and opposed by the anii-Democralic party,
is still part and parcel of the Democratic
creed, and has meri,ed and received the ap-
probation of the people of The United
States"
Mr.. Chairman, do con,radicth assert
,ha, The records show The reverse Of this
proposition 10 be true.

himself in favor of such an institution. BY
the same reasoning my colleague proves 'ha
he is himself now in favor OF il, because HI
