He referred to the result in the different States.
In every State where elections had been hels, the
result was . triumph for the Democracy, save only
Maryland which still stood upon the narrow and
prohibitory platform Of -Nothingisn. Penn
syivania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and California were
ranging themselves under the broad folds OF the
Democratic banner.
1t had been his lot since occupying seat in Con.
gress to frame the bills under which Wisconsin and
Texas and California had been admitted into the I'm
ion, and also that which provided the way for each
of the seven Territories existing to enter. "A
wrote the Nebraska BILL too. (Appause.J And he
incorporated into it that great fundamental principle
which declared the right Of the people to establish
their own Government and fashion their own nsti-
tutions; and the people in recent elections had
passed upon that act. 1t was an endorsement Of
that principle and of the who wrote and passed
the bill, and he felt as proud Of this endorsement
he did in standing up for this bill four years
sgo amid the SCOTS md eers Of an excited and mis-
guided populace in this same city He. rejoiced to
know that he had stood firm for the right. and that
the people had at last read and examined, and pro:
nounced their sober verdict upon the greatest OF all
principles upon which our Government res,s--the
right Of the people to rule. New York had ratified
il Connecticut had ratified it; Wisconsin had rati-
fed it Kansas has ratified it; and Illinois had never
done otherwise. [Applause]
He proceeded to pay glowing tribute OF praise to
first Of the Territories for which ne had had the
honor of framing the Law which was about TO bring
her into the Union. glorious State she would DC,
and worthy Of all praise.
Kentucky. the land Of Clay and the home Of the
gallant Breckenridge, had thrown Oft the shackles
that bound the consciences Of her people. Her Old.
Line Wings, who would not be Know Nothngized
and Abolitionized, rallied around the standard
Of Democracy, in pursuance Of the advice Of the Illus
trious Clay who said. If the time comes, and

In fact, with here and there an exception, the
whole Union was in line with the banner Of Demo-
cracy before them. Why should such not be the
case! Four years Of the past had been devoted to
the negroes it was now meet that some time should
be devoted to the white men. Our people were get
ting tired of sectional difficulties and desired to have
no ,norc Of them. What benefit, he would ask, had
the political warfare waged in their behalf conferred
upon the negro race! What had this Republican
Party done FOR them' What did they propose to
dor When the Supreme Court gave its decision in
the bred Scott case, every Republican paper and
orator raised shout against it and proclaimed that
they were going to revolutionze the Supreme Court
because the decision Was unjust and INDUSTRIOUS.
What was there in that decision! Why, that under

was his answer, / am not for that!" Then what
did he mean by denouncing Judge fancy and the
Supreme Court, for if Negroes were citizcns they
were entitled to all these rights? He did not blame
the Republican Party for holding that Negroes were
citizens and equals but he did for abusing the Court
for deciding that they were not SO, when they them
selves would not admit them to the rig hts which
citizenship would secure.-Chicago Tmea

duties and responsibilities Of his high Office In his
inaugural address to the legislature he thus firmly
and boldly defines his position in regard to the
banks of his State:
