proportion to the populasiou-as personal
and domestic peace, kuo"ledge, and good
ness, ss any other part Of the world.
Glorious New England the home Of
Democrats institutions, Of free men, Of
free thought, and unequaled personal and
political freedom the land Of Lexington,
Buuker Hill and Bennington-of free
schools and universal education-of schol-
ars and workers-of writer's, inventors,
and philanthropists- Putnam, Hancock,
Adams, Sherman and Stark-is the chosen
scene Of universal Republican triumph.
The east wing Of the American hosts, well
strengthened by its numberless schools,
colleges, churches, and homes, and invinci-
bly, armed with books, papers, and free
speech, has driven all before il, and remains
in triumphant possession Of its post on the
field of battle, with all its free banners
streaming in the November air, and its
bright-eyed and strong-armed legiOns ready
for further advance!
Every American can we'll be proud that
he belongs to . party which embraces all
the New England States. They we're never
thus unanimous before, but now their pro-
verbal and uuequaled iutelligenee, virtue,
and practical Democracy, rallied them all
under the banner Of free labor and free
soil. The descendants Of the Puritans, Of
the Pilgrim Fathers, and the Minute Men
of '76, have taken their immovabls stand
on the side of freedom.
New York
There stands tie Empire State-erect
and imprcgnable-with her over 200, 600
majority against the Cincinnsti Platform,
and 4OO,0 against her own son who
turned traitor to Liberty! Her sturdy
farmers, children Of New England, over
bear the corrupt vote Of the Cities. Her
giant voice is for Free Soil, and for the
Railroad, through Free States, which shall
mako New York and San Francisco, the
London and the Canton, Of this Western
World.
The Great West.
This glorious land Of glowing skies, and
sparkling waters, of wide prairies and
mighty rivers, has responded to the voice
of the New England States and to New
York. Her sons, animated BY the spirit
which is borne upon her free breezes, have
..o"Ud e,4cI doteImIsssIUu sIano ny
their fellow citisens in Kansas. They
have seen and known that many Of them
were trampled down beneath the brutal
hoof of power So far as they could
throw the shield Of their protection around
them, they have done it BY their voice and
vote.
The Young Giant, the " Empire State
Of the West, leads the column. Miehi
gan, Iowa and Wisconsin are following in
the footsteps. Indiana and Illinois may
falter for time, but they will hereafter
spring forward with buoyant energy tc
take their places in the army of freedom
We do not doubt the devotion, the faith
the strength, Of their sons.
Not one of all these Western States car
prove untrue to the memory of the strong
hearts aud vigorous arms which drove bacl
the savage and conquered him, which re
duced the forest and introduced all the Ell
ements, comforts, and elegancies Of civil
lied life. The deeds Of their pionee
fathers are still chronicled in the hearts o
the present fobust race which peoples th,
wide plains, smiling valleys and lofty hill
of the West.
The farmer, the artisan, the hunter
all feel an intense, absorbing interest il
the great question of free labor. The de
scsndants of the Meisses, the McArthurs
the La Sales and the Coles, are bathed il
the living light Of the principles Of free
dom and true Democracy. They hate al
shsms, pre,ence,, and political hypocrisy
and they have repudiated the practiser
and professors Of them-Stephen A. Dou
: glass, Franklin Pierce, James Bushansu
and the other leaders of the apostate Deu
ocracy.
All hail to the mighty and GROWN
West, the future heart and centre Of ou
national empire All hail to the land
quick impulses, generous hearts and cour'
peous souls Whilst it is thus peopled
/, the nation may repose with cou6des
upon their broad syupathies and courageou
} devotion to the Constitution and the Uniol
