eloquent passage:
Gentlemen assert that by the adoption of
this measure you will divide and distract the

that the history of that party clearly attests
that its purpose and function is that of trial
and difficulty. 1t was Graded in storm and
reared amid tribulation 1t has ever been
the advance guard of all those great measures
of progress that have made our country
powerful and glorious. 1t was created for
that purpose, and whenever danger has threa-
tened, from traitors at home or foes abroad 1t
has always in the hour of peril been called
upon to exercise its highest and holiest func-
ton. | care not if to promote a great prin-
! ciple, it distracts the party for time. When
its highest attribute shall have been exercised,
and its highest mission performed, it will then,
by the involuntary tribute of free people, be
knit together III bonds so strong and irresist-
ible that the forces of all the factions and isn,s
placing abolitiOnism at the head, cannot break
them
That there has always been marked and
necessary difference bet ween the Democratic
and Wing parties is true. They must re-
member that the Democratic party is not one
of expediency, and if it be now called upon
by the enactment of this bill to make sacri-
fees at the present moment in order that great
good may flow from its principles in time to
come, repeat it is the solemn duty of every
Democrat, be he in out of Congress. to
make such sacrifice with patriotism and chiv-
airy which becomes true national man. do
not, therefore, fear the result. [ am ready to
go before the people and meet this question

hend a DronOsition so sinnle as the one en-
