what you were, that there is yet difference Of scnti
ment between / have long that the time
approaching when that Doble wig party, of which was
ever proud would be unayo,ably destroyed You have
spoken OF the treachery that defeated Henry Clay 1874
The cankcr that has be gnawng ut the very vi
tails Of that party has at last fear destroyed it. but sir
there is phoenix that has arisen from its ashes that is
YET to save the country (Applause) confess that in
looking around upon my former associates here it

shrouded our country in mourning, had made
pledges which prevented from discharging
my duty 10 my country. II rendered any service to my
country at that time chiefly owing tho fact that
had come to that position Partly by the will OF tho pso,
pie, and partly by the act of Providence But, sir il
rendered any service was greatly indebted the country
greatly indebted for that service to- that very con-
serrave portion OF the whig party that stood around me,
and that equally conservative portion Of the democratic
party which rallied around my administration at that
time. (Applause.) Sir, the measures which finally
stored peace an agatcd country then, not the
OF one they were not the measures OF one
party but they were the measures OF the two great par
ties into which the country was thon divided should

who now stand around me- (Appausel cannot
doubt that should also have the support Of those
true hearted democrats who rallied TO the support
Of the country in 1850. (Applause) But, sir

than ought to have said only intended to express my
qualification and grateful ceilings in response the wei
