Southern aristocrat Anon Massachusetts, was
ahead, and then South Carolina, and again
and again during the hard fought fight came
the cheering cry from every Northern hill, and
valley and plain, which foated with welcome
to our ears" Stick to Banks y "Stick to
Banks p Stick to Banks !" Tremendous
applause We did stick to him, and when
the smoke of battle cleared away, we saw that
the little iron man of Massachusetts was ahead.
and shout went up, such as the national cap-
tol had never heard or echoed to. (Applause)
And then how glorious it was to see that little
iron man march up to the Speakers chair
straight as an arrow and fill it as it never had
been filed since the days of gallant Harry of
the West. (Tremendous long continued cheer

The next victory was the Kansas Commits
sion Committee, admitting Kansas on the hoer
of the House with the Topeka Constitution
This was great triumph.
The last victory in the House was to refuse to
pass bill to supply the Kansas army with i'm
plements to distress aAfree and prosecuted peo-
pile. They may think to drive us from the po-
SitionS we have taken-they don't know the
men they have to deal with--they can never
do it. If We can gain such victories in an en-
emy'S country, cannot you do something here
You never had such chance all the old
issues have gone gmmering through the things
that were. 1t is but single issue-whether
freemen shall be free or not. We do not wish
to trouble them or their slaves We pause at
the State line. We have no wish to interfere
with their property but they must let our
freemen alone.
Slavery may be their peculiar Institution, but
Freedom is ours We have adopted plat
form that is as broad as it is long and this
platform says that the Union must and shall
be preserved. james Buchanaf says he is no
longer james Buchanan he is platform
The light Of that ancient body now some sew
enty years old, passed out into this platform
His second condition is worse than his first.
Once they were celebrating the 4th of July
in Virginia, and an old revolutionary soldier
turned up among the assembled crowd Af-
ter feasting him all day, he was asked what
battles he had fought in? Why said he,
:" fought with the British at Yorktown
The same way with the Democrats-they find
to their horror they have nominated an enemy
to the war of lSl2-an enemy to Democracy
itself
There is not a stain upon the whiteness of
the soul of John c. Fremont When the Sc
dition banner Of South Carolina notification
was raised, he was found among the first to
buckle on his knapsack to answer to the call
OF the determined jackson, to support the Con-
stitution of this Union. | want all to go for
the noble Fremont.
Mr.. Burlgame then spoke of his western
tour, and how the people were rallying there
to the standard of freedom. He then began
with Maine-that down East State" where
they break daylight with brckbats-and de-
clared that she was unanimous for Fremont
Vermont, which yet bore within her heart the
spirit of Ethan Allen, was good for 80, 600
majority for Fremont. (Applause.) The
Granite State, too, will go en- masse for Ere
mont. And, Massachusetts, God bless her
(three cheers were here given for MaSSachu-
setts), with her revolutionary memoirs-with
her every foot of soil sacred to liberty, what
could you expect from them ? Why, nothing
more than that her majority for Freedom and
Fremont would be as countless as the leaves
of the Western forests. renewed cheers
Then the Empire State Has she not Ex-
celsior' on her banner She is good for Ere
mont by $4,000 majority (Applause J.
Ohio, too, promises l00,0 900 majority-large
talk, but they say out West that their usual
weight is I50 pounds, but when they get mad
they weigh ton ! (Laughter.) So now they
weigh ton, and will give US 100000. (Re-
newed laughter) The whole valley of the
Mississippi will "go and do likewise" and now
we come to the young and gallant Iowa =
(Applause)
Mr.. Burlingame spoke of the glorious Re
publican victory in Iowa as auguring most
auspiciously for the prospects of Fremont, and
then turned TO Pennsylvania The western
part of the old Keystone he knew was in
blaze SO with the North, and he appealed to
the great city of Penn not to lag behind in the
mighty race, but to be worthy of the Declara-
ton which had issued from her precincts.
At the conclusion of Mr. Burlirgame's elo-
quent address, three cheers were given for the
distinguished speaker, three more for Fremont,
and three more for the Republican cause
Amid the greatest enthusiasm and the best
possible feeling the meeting then adjourned.
