The true Democrat., 1855-10-02

the details ot the complete system Ot govern ment under which we live, who may justly be said to have launched the constitution, and to have been the pilot during the first years of the great experiment.. Here was the home of that matchless orator whose tongue seemed to have been touched as with a live coal from off the altar of liberty, and whose silver-t tongued voice pronounced those inspired sentiments which cheered the hearts of Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Faneui Hall. How amazing that in the development of great talents in the worlds history, such an allotment should have fallen to single State! Long may Virginia maintain her present position, encouraging, by her precept and example, hopes of a Union which shall never perish!
 The President assured President Tyler that he should gladly accept his invitation to become better acquainted with the concourse of his countryElen here assembled, and who had gi- ven him reception so cordial, in a manner so agreeable.
 The Grand Rally at Indianapolis.
 We annex the following report, says the Cin- cinnati Enquirer, of Lieutenant Governor Will. lard's eloquent speech at Indianapolis, on the 29th, furnished by the Sentinel, our own repor. ter not being present at the time. In doing so we cannot help indorsing the comments of that paper, emitting, however, the qualification, for we do not know anything of the whole souled, eloquent Willard that we do not like His heart IS in the right place; he has a head on his shoulders as clear as a bell, and head and heart respond to each other nobv through a voice that peals like trumpet, with eloquence resistless as an avalanche. The Sentinel says:
 The star oration of the day was that of A. P. Willard. There are some things about Willard which we do not like, and never did, and we do not care who knows it; but he is, beyond all question, the greatest orator of the age and one of the soundest and most reliable democrats. If he is not our next Governor there will be no gratitude ill republics. When Willard speaks, the great heart of the democracy responds; every auditor feels that he is speaking with his whole soul, and the electric spark of genius is spread from mind to mind, until flame of en- thusiasm is kindled in every breast.
 Three cheers for Willard, the great champion of nationality. We love him fo: all that he has said, and especially for his noble vindica- tion of our southern brethren and his indignant scom and repudiation of the vile and treason able doctrines of abolition. God bless Willard, because he is not afraid or ashamed, in the pre- sence of thirty thousand men, to say that the southern States are true to the Union and the constitution, and that the men of the south are worthy descendants of our revolutionary sires.
 The political condition of Indiana and the resolve of the democracy may be gathered from Governor Willartl's eloquent speech:
 Governor Willard was next introduced, and his appearance upon the stand was greeted with hearty cheers.
 He said the inquiry had often been made, Why are we democrats abroad in Indiana dis cussng the questions of the day?" His answer was that last year many tares had been sown; this year the ground would be summer fallow- ed in order that we might reapa full crop next year. He alluded to the last democratic meet ing on the 22l of February, and said that they had come up here to the capital -struct the democrats of the Legislature what to do, in view of the fact that the Hobbies of the capitol were filled with priests and laymen asking of- flee.
 We then said that no abolitionist should re- present this State in the United States Senate; and, for one, he was willing to leave it to the people to say, in 1856 whether they had done right in so doing
 Last year you came up here under different circumstances to what you have now done; you had no officers to elect, and there must be some good reason for this assembage. He said it was to look men in the eyes and see if they could discern among them any Benedict Ar holds, for there were many traitors abroad in this land. They desired to see whether they were imbued with the blood of patriotism.
 Last year these traitors came not openly in the field, but like thief in the night They said to the good people of Indiana You must cease acting as before, and must adopt new policy upon the slavery question. These trai- tors came here upon the 18th of July. They invited no Kentuckian to address them for there was but one man in Kentucky that could do it, ahd that man was Cassius M. Clay But they sent to Massachusetts, not 10 bring hither a Webster, but to import an aboltionist to instruct you how to vote They bore banners through the streets, attempting to arouse a feeling of hostility to the south. And what was tho complaint? It was this: The democrats had voted in Congress to give the people the right to make their own laws in Kansas and Nebras- ka. They objected to this, and why, no reason- able man could tell.
 The great question of the day was whether we shall execute the constitution on this sub- I]ect or not. He reviewed the history of the country, and showed that it had been the true policy of the government from its inception to let the people rule.
 In the Mexican war, northern, and southern men fought side by side; their blood had been shed, and many had filled common grave, to secure us joint treasure and joint territory. A few men then said the time had come when slavery should not be established in Utah and New Mexico. General Cass and Henry Clay, who had fought about banks and tariffs, and had rivaled each other in contendng as to which should do the most to uphold the consti- tuition, came forward and viewed this ques- tion as one outside the constitution. They agreed upon this question, and their wise coun- sel prevailed.
 He hated to call these agitators fusionists or abolitionists-he would call them trators.- Lewis D. Campbell, in speech in this city, had said that, rather than another slave State ad- mitted, he would see the Union dissolved.- Such man was traitor by whatever other name he might be called.
 | These traitors wish us to legislate for Kan sas. He thought they would have enough to do to legislate for themselves especially if they have many more such Legislatures as that of the past winter.
 At the time of the adoption of the constitu- | eioA' oia'ciy Ple'aleu III majority or the States, and our forefathers put a clause in that instrument that they wouldn't be thieves and steal from peach ther. The abolitionist says mo- The abolition preacher preachers higher law than the constitu.ion-says that slavery was a great evil, and they had a right to restore a man from slavery But when know nothing mob goes into Kansas (headed by preacher) to prevent the people from exercising their rights they are loud in their condemnation, but in the same breath would applaud know mo- thing mob in Boston or Philadelphia, organized to steal negroes from their owners
 These men call us preacher hating demo- crats. He would ask, candidly, if the cause of religion had suffered most under democratic or know nothing policy? He alluded to the times when preachers were courted, when they were considered the pets of society. But when they turned know nothings, through the false | ( fobo o1,; H,+b Al.. q
