ness for compromises, laughter, but in the
spirit Of this day, | am willing to make con-
ccssions, and | propose to the Governor this
compromiso-sincc he is willing to endorse
my principles. | will agree to--fnd no fault
with his color. Excessive mcrriment.
am willing to stand by his side, fighting
the great battle Of liberty, and have small
care for the little subordinate questions on
which others and myself are divided, if we
are united on this grand issue. If we stand
shoulder to shoulder. side by side, heart beat
/ ing against heart on the great question, I am
willing to allow differences in other matters
Applause. If we are united in opposition
to the dotrine of the Supreme Court. organ
lied for that very purpose by the slave power,
that slavery shall prevail everywhere in our
free territories, unless interdicted by express
law; If we hold the converse Of this doctrine,
that it can exist nowhere unless by positive
law of a State and | understood this TO be
the position Of Gov. Corwin.
Gov Corwin-Amcn, amen to that. 1t was
always my doctrine, since forty years ago
Applause.
Gov. Chase, resumng-IIe says it was his
doctrine years ago 1t was mine years since (;
it is mine to-day, BY it | will stand, and by
it will die Cheers.
Uniting on this principle, let us sec to it
that we put into power an honest and eco

Let us unite to do this, and to protect the
interests of our own labor against all assaults,
wherever they come from. Cheers. have
almost been betrayed into making an address.
Go on, 90 on. 1t is too late, fellow-citi-
zens. The sun is fastening to his setting
This days meeting is cause for rejoicing. 1t
shows that we are to be divided by no triling
and insignificant differences, but are united
shoulder to shoulder, rejoicing in the sure au-
gury of triumphant success.
This vast assembage, composed for the
most part of Republicans who have stood by
the guns from the first, but composed in part
also Of patriotic citizens who have doubted the
propriety of union with them, though inspr-
ed by the same spirit Of opposition to the
weak, wasteful, pro-slayery Administration
which now directs the course of national af-
fairs, gives full assurance that hereafter we
are united, undivided by any small jealousies
or subordinate questions, in the noble cause
OF freedom and free labor, union and reform
With such a union, in such cause victory
is sure. LApplause.
