10y that this Is not the case. There was no dvis-
ion on the great American principles--the distin-
gushing features Of the ord r.
On that distracting question which has entered
into and divided all political parties. and many
churches of the land, there was difference Of
opinion. We did not attempt TO patch up the
DRY that should read two ways, and be lifted to
each section; but, looking TO one common cause,
10 the protection OF American Professionalism, wc
were united as one man. On slavery alone there
was a difference The members from the North
who dsapproyed, protested, honestly and manfully,
but did not secede And now, instead Of coming
into the field with one regiment, at the next cleo
ton, We shall present two immense brigades that
will sweep everything before u.s. lcheers. Let
of the Roman hierarchy cackle over our division Of
sentiment on this question. There Is no hope for
them in 1t. On the great question of opposition to
their encroachments there is no dvision-no North,
no South. All over the North our camp fires are
lighted on every hilltop. So also do they send
back their greeting from the sunny South.
Cicero once said that he always wondered how
two soothsayers could meet each other in the
street without bursting into laugh In each Others
acesl So often wonder how the editors Of the
New York Tribune and the Richmond Enquirer or
the Union can meet without laughing in each
others faces. They each fight against Americans
making common cause, and seem to fight each
other, continually stirring up sectional feeling But
if they wait until after an election few months
hence--they will feel more like bursting into cry
when they meet [Cheers and laughter
What brings together this quiet assembly
Why are they 30 quiet and orderly Why no RI
otous demonstration. It is the character Of the
Ango-Saxon race to respect laws. The motto on
yonder banner Is the characteristic OF our people,

PRRPETUATE AMERICAN FREEDOM OUR OBJECT. y
Cheers This great movement grows naturally
out of the development OF the American charac-
ter. Certain great events among every people go
to make up their distinctive nationality. In the
progress Of nation its character is developed
The peculiar characteristic of the Jewish people
was their ceremonial Jaws. OF the Greeks, the
great epic poem Of the Trojan war contained all
the glorious characteristics of their nationality
It was devotion to their country that would sac
rifce life and every thing dear for its honor and
glory.
This Roman character was formed by great
events in different perodsof her history. The man
who had at first collected and embodied nation
atty from all the different tribes and people, and
formed them into one nationality, was elevated to
the stars, to seat among the gods. Look at the
English character and nationality The very name
of John Bull has charm for an Englshman. 1t
expresses their character. They have developed
their character from the great events OF their his
tory, until the browning event in the Revolution OF
1888, which was the browning distinction oftheir
national character. Words are things, and certain
of them never die. When one of Wellingtons
Generals, at Waterloo beheld the dreadful slaugh-
ter Of their soldiers by the French he said to the
old Duke: 1T win never do to let this slaughter
90 on" His reply was "My God what will they
say at home five surrender" This ID the charac-
ter. It is the home-feeling- glory Of a name
at home in their own nation. 1t is this, that has
sent their drum.beat triumphant around the world.
And it is this that Americans want, and that feel
ing win make our Union perfect
We are now eliminating our character out. of
the various elements that have been thrown to-
gether on this continent Singularly enough, this
elimination of character grows out of the necessi-
ties Of the case--the very expressions and abuses
that have been heaped upon the American people.

been made to endure here. We see aman put un-
der the heel of oppression, turned out Of employ

sorrow on his countenancc, tells his wife he 10 dis

man sunk so low we can hardly hate. We have
nothing bat disgust pity, and contempt. His seven
walters look and act like whipt ours. They are
seven slaves who wait upon bis bidding, and, who

The foreigner who lands on our shores has no
heritage in our Revolutionary battle grounds--no
tears for the graves of our fathers. He cannot
feel like an American about them. II Ia not natu-

THE speaker then alluded to the influence Of

New York from Ice legitimate source, and stated as
fact to show that our country was sold to foreign
