| EXTRACTS FROM Gov..wILLARD's SPEECH.
/ Mr.. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW DEMocKrs
"A few evenings since took occasion, at
a meeting of the Democratic party here, to
express my sentiments with regard to what
1 should be the line of polieyto be persued.
/ know not that l could add single word
! to what then said. l believe the policy
of the Democratic party toabe, that We
shall adhere firmly to our principles, and go
steadily along as we ever have gone. 3e.
l find national Administration in power.
You and aided to put that Adminisirl-
ton in power You and | aided TO make
Mr.. Buchanan the President of the United
States. From the day We made him
President until now, have seen no day
nor hour that that man ought to be aban-
doned by the Democratic party. There is
no measure that he has recommended that
my judgment and my conscience did not
approve. There is no appointment in the
State of Indiana that he has ever made,
that I have been opposed to. I have
been one, of those, that had not in my
own household .'kith or kim that want
ed Office under him. .; l never sought
one myself never shall; but ! am, un-
willing that the great head of the Demo
cratic party-the man of our cholce-lhe
man that we selected in troublesome times,
when Black Republicanism was rampant in
all these Northern countries - shall be
stricken DOM By the ambition of one man,
who seeks office, whether it be in the gift
Of the President or of the people either.
What has Mr.. Buchanan done that has
pleased the Republican party since he came
into power? Not one thing that | know
of, and trust in God he never may. We
did not elect him to satisfy them. What
has he done since he came into power,
that Democrat who supported him should
fly for the reason of it, and say, Il stand by
him no longer?" They say that he recon-
mended to Congress the admission of Kan
sas under the Lecompton Constitution
He did. He did it for what purpose?-
Was it, in the language of these Black Re
publicans, to cram Constitution down the
unwilling throats of the Republicans in
Kansas : :J'thdt acds 1t, l wish he had
stuck it clear down. 1t was not that though,
Democrats-and when | say Democrats,
ralk to men that have the good and inter
est Of the democratic party at heart. 20 +
+ x Mr.. Buchanan sought the ad-
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution for the most patriotic of mo
tives. He saw distracted Territory; he
saw people there divided and troubled;
be saw the want of harmony beteen the
North and South on the,Slayery question;
he saw the division and discord in the DEM
ocratic party and to be a bold man and
wise and gallant statesman, he said: 81
willclose this ISSUE. and make Kansas
State" p IF theILecompton question had
been carried, Indiana iCouldto-day haze
stood nth both branches of the Legisla-
turetounded uposJ Democratic basis as firm
as the Rocky Mountaias.a oiidpq 93i -

know of no way of maintaining prin-
.ciples except by organization. 10 get all
on one side that agree one way, and all on
the other side that agree another way
Then comes the; discussion between the
two as to who is right. Why, what do you
think of two nations going to war--one side,
we will say, having a thousand, captains
and no leader, each man. for himself, bat
ting on his, own hook. On the other side
comes well disciplined and well organized
army. Which will conquer? - F.
What do they do when man deserts?-
If they take him back they shoot or hang
him. God have pity on your souls, poor
friends Of Douglas.-Rep.'s remark.
Il care not who the man is-tbe nominee,

the Convention or not. - a.'i... -su
