A Noble Speech.

a NVUAO ppOOOns
Hannibal Hamlin, Senator in Congress
from Maine. has Tor quite a number of
years been one of the ablest and most dis.
lingGished ofthe Democratic politicians Of
New England. Mr.. HamIin is a true
Democrats democrat from principle,
and not from mere love for Office. He
is not one Of your Frank Pierce gang, who
follow the Democratic camp for the sake
of 'plunder' and hence when an attempt
is made to have the Party trample the
principles Of democracy beneath their feet
he keeps his principles and repudistes the
party. All honor to such Democrat |!
And may heaven greatly multiply their
number. Last Thursday, Mr.. Hamlin
arose in his place in the Senate, and made
the following Speech, which we earnest.
ly commend to the serious consideration
Of every honest Democrat in the land -
Leader. ...., -. .... a.
Mr.. Hamln rose and asked 10 be excus-
ed from serving as Chairman orthe Com
mittee on Commerce. He said for the
nine years he had held seat in the Sem
ate, he had almost been silen; member.
Upon the subject that had go much agi-
tated The country, he had rarely uttered a
word
He loved his country more than he
did an y pariy-more than anything that
rOuld agilate and disturb its harmony
Although he believed the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise was great moral
and political wrong, unequaied in the an.
mails Of the legislation Of the country, and
unequaled in the history Of almost any
country-slill with desire to promote
harmony, concord, and brotberly feeHng,
he sat quietly amid al the exciting debate
which led to that fatal result, and oppos-
ed it not by his voice, but by consistent
steady and uniform voie-nOt only in ac-
cordance with The instruction of lis Leg
islalure, passed by almost an unanimous
vote but the thing was done in violation
Of the principles OF that party with whom
he had always acted, and in violation o.
the solemn pledges of the President of he
United States in his inaugural address.
Since, however, that wrong had been
indorsed by the Cincinnati Convention in
lis consummation and its results, he felt il
his duty to declare that he could no lon.
ger maintain party associations with any
party that insisted upon such doctrines,
and could support no man for President
who avowed and recognized these doc
trines, and whatever power God had en-
endowed him with, il should be used III

of the great benefits derived from the use
of your German Bitters in my family.
Duriag the greater part of last summer,
my son, aged two years, was severely af:
Acted with the Summer Complaint in the
worst form, for which various remedies
prescribed by Physicians and Others were
used, but with no avail. also sent him
to the country, but it proved of but little
benefit. Having bottle of German Bit
ters in the house, | was persueaded to try
that, which to my astonishment entirely
cured him. He continued to take the Bit
ters some time afterwards and became
healthy. l have the greatest confidence in
the Btters, and feel no hesitation in say.
ing that no family should be without them.
Respectfully, yours, john W. PARIS,
