at stake which the people determined to meet.
believe that the indications all around are such as give
a satisfactory to every patriotic heart that
the men of this country begin to feel that they have
ined to throw away the toys with which party
leaders have amused them, and look at the
great question which God in his Providence
Is bringing before this country And what Is IT.
IL is idle TO talk about the past issues with which poll
tcians have amused How would you listen TO
men who talked of the tariff internal improvements
But here lis question as broad rs the Continent The
from the of the Atlantic to the quiet shores of the
Pacific What shall be the institutions under which
unborn generations shall live 1t Is as broad earth,
as lasting Us generations of men; and yet your polt
clans will tell you they want a national question
When you to the question that deals with immor

enthusiasm on behalf of those principles which will
live in immortal vigor when we are all in
the dust together ICheers] shall ask your kind
indulgence this day, and request you to be silent; be-
cause for more than month have been speaking in
the open air, and consequently feel somewhat worn
ana weary, but my liberty spirit is more buoyant than
ever IL we were left free in this great country we
should have but two great partcs-the one would be
the Progressive and the other would be the Conserya-
tive man would belong to these according 10 age
and acco a ng TO temperament. A man in his youth
would be moet likely TO belong to the Progressive
party and In his old age ne would be most likely TO be-
