with a cordial response from the Democracy
who filled the Hall.
GEN. EeeLEsroE Of Aurora was then in
troduced to the audience. We have not
room or ability to give a full report of his
speech. Itwns an able and candid vindication
OF the principles and measures Of the Dem
ocratic party. He traced with clearness and
precision the history of that party from the
day of Thomas Jefferson down to the pre-
sent time-showing that it has always been
the party ofthe people and the advocate Of
equality-that in every great political strug-
gle It had been victorious-that its leading
measures in days gone by, though at the time
bitterly asssiled, had all been ratified and
endorsed by the American people--and that
even its enemies, the leaders OF the RepubIi-
can q party, had publicly and emphatically
acknowledged that until now the Democratic
party had been the greatest, the truest and
the best political organization Of the coun-
try. He then proceeded to speak Of the pre-
sent issues. He claimed that the Philadel-
phia Convention, by rejecting Chase, Sew.
ard, Sumner and that class of men, and NOM
mating Fremont had lodged every leading
issue heretofore made by that party--that
on their part it was simply presidency ma
king campaign and not a campaign of prin-
cipIe--that slavery with the Republican
party meant simpy--SpellS. He claimed
that the blacks were not the only slaves in
America--that every where, where inegual-
itg is found, there is slavery in a greater or
less degree. He closed BY invoking Il spr.
it o: patriotic devotion to the constitution of
the country. AS for himself, he said, in the
language of Choate, the eloquent Wing or
ator OF New England, he could train with no
party 'that does not carry the flag and keep
step TO the music of the Union"
GEN. EGGLEsToN's remarks we're listened
to with deep and earnest interest, and fire.
quent outbursts of applause testified thea9-
probation of the audience.
Never in Ravenna, have we witnessed
better spirit among the Democracy. The
Hall was crowded. Many were unable to
obtain seats. The doorway was filled, and
numbers went away on account of their in
ability to obtain places where they could
listen to the speaking.
