pacK! NOW Is an important era IN the Organlza.
ton Of our party. Unless we pull together
unitedly, determiedly-we might as well dis
band, and give the field to our enemies. Con-
ciliate-fasten every vote, and drive the charge
home. Let there be no divisions in the Conven-
tion--no 'so6 horses" but let there be harmony !;
and when our candidates are fairly before the
people, let us WORK.. A triumph now will make
another triumph ten times easier--will widen the
breach in the ranks Of our opponents, and gain
US many new votes. Gentlemen Of the Conven-
ton, harmonic and pull together-with it we
can accomplish much--without it we are defeated

Speech. .ss hel
Of all the bluster and villainy floating on the
csss-pool of n-Democratie Democracy, that is
the most intolsrshle which matches up some hell.
ish scheme of Kansas slaughter or wholesale
plunder upon some weaker nation, and then calls
Heaven to sanctify it, and the people to believe
that the Almighty is its author. If Slavery must
extend if America must steal the ssQueen of
the Antilles :" if all the powers of our Govern
ment must be prostitutsd to thieving oligarchy
if our brothers and sisters in Kansas must be
murdered and scalped at the hands of the chief
Executive; if the blood of New England's most
eloquent son must be spattered upon the walls of
the Senate Chamber; if Republicanism must be
made an unmeaning babble and Democracy an
outrageous lie; for Heavens sake, gentlemen
Buchaniers, bear your own responsibility don't
make Eternal Truth your endorser BY trying to
overreach the Almighty! 1t may be policy for
pirates to thank the Lord while they plunder, so
as to keep both parties ON their side, but it does
seem inconsistent. Stop stealing or praying, one
or the other. The present equivocal position of
the Democracy from Maine to Minnesota, reminds
US Of an incident which transpired in this city
the other evening.
A young woman suspected of easy virtue, pass
ed little knot of gentlemen, on the corner of
St. Anthony and Market streets, when one of
them made remark rejecting upon her charac-
ter, at which she turned upon her prosecutors and
addressed them: &c Gentlemen overheard that
last remark of yours. 1t is entirely false. may
be an unfortunate woman. but | am perfect
lady, by God!"
We do not at all object to our opponents pray
ing-the more they pray the better. Nor to their
gQodness-we wish they were as good as they
might mel But we do object TO their Janus
faced hypocrisy, their double dealing, their shams
and seemings, their blasphemous alteration of
the Deity, while their leagne is not yet nullifed
with the Devil-we do object to their raising
one hand in pretended pisty to Heaven, while the
other, grasping stilettoa hilt is feeling for the
vitals of the Republic. This hypocricy is as
transparent as a summers day, whether its auth
ors pray with their faces to Jerusalem, Mecca,
Rome or the sky. ..sal as ss7a e a
A wise man said, longer ago than any of us
remember" When ys shalt come to love the
truth and do the things Of the truth for the truths
sake, then shall ye be free indeed!"
We cannot expect the nager-bosser Democracy
to have much regard for justice, or " do the
things of the truth for the truths sake !; I" but
would it not be erpedient for them to unvail their
beautiful harlot and show the people what they
are called upon to cast their votes for ? What.
ever the masses think of humanity, they admire
an honest frankness, and for their benefit we
condense the following from the
