you, 60 with them; but as you have made
up your organization upon principle,

We were often--more than once, at
least-in the course of Judge Douglas
speech last night, reminded that this GO

he believed it was made for white menI
Well, that is putting it in a shape in
which no one wants to deny it; but the

and do one another much good thereby.
There are white men enough to marry all
the white women, and enough black men
to marry all the black women, and i'm

A voice-"Three cheers for Lincoln"
(The cheers were given with hearty
good will)
Mr. Lincoln--I should say at least that
that is self eyidens truth.
Now it happens that We meet together
once every year, sometime about the 4th
of July, for some reason or other. Those
4th OF July gatherings, / suppose, have
their uses. If you illindulge me will
state what ! suppose to be some of them.
We are now mi ghty nation, we are
thirty, or about thirty, millions Of peo-
pie, and we own and iuhabit about one
fifteenth part of the dry land Of the whole
earth. We run our memory back over
the pages of history for about eighty-two
years, and We discover that we were then
very small people in point of numbers,
vastly inferior to what we are now, with
a vastly less extent of country, with vast
ly less of everything we deem desirable
among men, We look upon the change as
exceedingly advantageous to us and to
our postcrity, and we fix upon something
that is away back, as in some way or 9TH
CT being connected with this rise of pros
perity. We find race of men living in
that day whom we claim our fathers and
grandfathers; they were iron men; they
fought for the principles they we're con-
tending for; and we understand that by
what they then did, it has followed that
the degree of prosperity which we now
enjoy has come to us. We hold this an
nuai celebration to remind ourselves of
all the good done in this process of time,
of how it was done and who did it, and
how we are historically connected with it;
and we 60 from these meetings in better
humor with ourselyes--we feel more at
tached the one to the other, and the more
firmly bound to the country we inhabit.
In every way We arc better men in the
age, and race, and country in which we
live for these celebrations But after We
have done all this we have not yet reach.
ed the whole. There is something else
connected with it. We have besides
these men--descended by blood from our
ancestors---among us perhaps half our
people who are not descendants at all Of
these men, they are men who have come
from Europe-German, Irish, French,
and Scandinavian---men that have come
from Europe themselves or whose ances-
tors have come hither and settled here,
finding themselves our equals in all
things. Ii they look back through this
history to trace their connection with
those days by blood, they find that they
have none; hey cannot carry themselves
back into that glorious epoch and make
themselves feel that they are part of us;
but when they look through that old De-
caration of Independence they find that
those old men say that eve find thes g
truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal" and then they feel that
that moral sentiment, taught in that day,
evidences their relation to these men,
that it is the father of all moral princi-
pie in them, and that they have right
to claim it as though they were blood of
the blood and flesh of the flesh of the
men who wrote that Declaration, cloud
and long continued applause,) and 50,
they are. That is the electric cord in
that Declaration that links the hearts of
patriotic and liberty y-loying men togeth-
er, that will link those patiotic hearts as
long as the love of freedom exists in the.
minds of men throughout the world.
