up by you Wings we will fall." Wings,
let me say to yon, spurn every offer that
they make to you, for
esTheir friendship IS lurking snare,
Their honor but an idle breath;
Their smiles, the smiles that traitors wear,
Their love is hate, their life is DEATH
Again, Mr.. j. w. Tate said in the outset
of his discourse, that "Democracy has made
our country what it is" Well, what Is
our country! A few years ago Henry Clay
used his power to reconcile the north and
south on the slavery question, and succeed
ed, though his body sank beneath its labor
ious task, aud scarcely had bis remains
been laid in the tomb, until Dir. Douglas,
a leading Democrat, had to stir up the
question:, and had the infamous Nebraska
bill passed What has it donei you ask
It has caused civil war in Kansas, the
North aud Sonih have arrayed themselves
in open couah.i, brother has slain brother,
and scenes too disgracefnl to be named IN
this free country, have all been ~aused by
Democracy. In our Senate Chamber, when
things pertainlng to the peace and happiness
ef those territories were being disc ussed,
blood was she'd BY Democrat, aud he Who
was standing up for their rights and the
Union, was struck to the floor like an OK
O. Den,ocracY, thou dost blush and veil
tn, self on account of thy hypocritical fol-
lowers. The Democrats say the Know
Nothfngs are curse to our country. For
the 50 ke of argument let us admit 1t. Who
or what caused that partya Was it not the
Democrats! Go back with me to the time
when James Campbell, Catholic, was run
ming for Supreme Judge. The people OF
enusyIvania said by their votes that he
shou' d not be elected; but some of the lead
ers of Democracy saw that they would lose
the Catholic vote, and this would be death
blow to their party; so they got Gov. Big
Ter TO give hin, high office in the States
and it was doue. Then Pierce came upon
the stage for President, pledged TO the
Catholics, that be would make Mr.. Camp
bell p. NJ. General. II was done,-the
b ishops of Rome leading our country and
elacting the President; and out of this
grew the Know Nothing or American party.
Democracy did this, and If the American
party is curse to our country, the curse
rests upon the Democratic party, and every
one Of you, according to your own words,
have the mark of Cain upon you. Get
over this if you can. Now you come out
and ask Wings and Americans who are
tired Of their party, to enlist, and fight un-
der your blood-stained banner of disunion.
II was said by one of the speakers that toe
Democratic party had swallowed up every
party. that has yet appeared. 1t puts me in
mind of one snake swallowing another
commencing at the tail; when it got it half
down it choked to death, and the one that It
tried to swallow ran off with it. Democ-
racy tried to swallow Federalism long ago,
but it choked on it, and Federalism with
dead Democracy hanging to it, is running
away with it, leading our country 10 ruin,
and that head is James buchanan.
General Bowman was the next speaker.
He drew she bots, bat his speech showed

smooth and pious msnne. thst he makes use
Of when he wishes to carry the feelings Of
bis audience. He said W. must all stand
before the Judge aud give an account Of
our deeds, &c. Ifeli solemn, bat il was a
soleuanify of Indignation, for | knew he
would first charm, aud then strike to kill,
like snake with its prey. After be got
through with these preliminary remarks, he
went back to General jackson, and took a
start on tho old U. s. Bank, aud gave it .
