ty In the State Of New York, entreat them to use
their best exertons to have that nomination post
poned; for Just 30 sure as you make that nomina-
ton in February you are doomed TO inevitable de-
feat. Put your candidate into the field four months
in advance of the Democratic candidate, and give
them an opportunity Of manufacturing hes against

portunity to attack them. [Cries of good"

interest in A, b, or @, Ia voice." b stands for

high interests of this great American organization,
and select the most capable and most available
man that can be chosen, and ] do not doubt the
result Something has been said about Virginia,
my friends. Mr.. Ulmann alluded TO the efforts
made by the American party in that State. Per-
init me to tell you the reason Of defeat in Vr-
ginia. The simple fact was that Mr. Wise had no
competitor in the field, and he was elected with
out opposition. The American party nominated
most worthy and respectable candidate; but it
was deemed advisable, either by himself or his
friends that he should take no part in the discus
sion, and he allowed Mr.. Wise to travel through
the whole State unopposed.
While Mr.. Wise made circuit, for six months,
denouncing this organization (Which was new to
the people) and its features unconstitutional and
reasonable, in no single instance was there hui
man being present to advocate the views of the
American party. More than that, the Democratic
party had paid agents in every district, while the
American party had none. Yet, Notwithstanding
these disadvantages, $4,000 good American votes
were cast for Flournoy, while Wise got 1900
Wing votes outside of the order, which could have
been secured by striking off the ticket one or two
Democratic candidates not acceptable to that par
ty. will conclude, ladies' and gentlemen, by Of
fering to you the following sentiment:
shield of liberty and OF the Union. While It beats
back the enemies Of the one by its protecting
arms, it shelters the other. Loud and prolonged
applause.

What Sort of a Party .

the following question:
"Pny what sort Of a party must that be, which,
going into power in 1858 with rushing and over
vhelming and resounding majority, has, In two years.
with all the national offices filed with its own men,
got itself squeezed and mashed down into such an
indgnifcant minority in Congress, that its own or
gans consider It too insignificant to take any other
responsibility than that Of refusing to lit finger
to keep the republic from going at to piecesf"
The country will soon decide where the re-
sponsibility rests Of defeating the election of
q Speaker. The Democrats Of the House Of
Representatives at the start, soalled Themselves
in as faction, resolving to stand by their
candidate, and at the same time denouncing
the American party in such grossly insulting
terms as to forbid any utilization. They seem
cd determined to throw the blame on the ma
jority, under the vain hope Of making capital
for the future
But their device win not avail them Their
opponents on the stump can hold them up az
factionists Of the worst sort, preferring party

No wonder the " Union" praises their
"idslity.' No wonder Forney rubs his hands
in admiration Of the Sublime patriotism
that keeps him in two Offices at the same time.
