please walk over uS-please trample upon
Us and we will be happy and content, and
hope YOU win believe your policy is right"
F" But tell you,p said that there is
still small voice in the people that instinct
lively rejects frauds, and this is not only
fraud but dishonor."
i do not claim TO be more honest than
any other man. l have done as all politi-
clans have-some things which may not 7
square exactly with the rules of religion
and right, and which, if have, regret
them; but this thing will not do. Loud
cheers have reached the stature and
years of manhood, and cannot go back to
Pennsylvania to eat my own words and be-
come the slave of power. Renewed cheers
1 cannot. But then, Mr.. Buchanan, you |
must tolerate this difference of opinions
Gen. Jackson tolerated differences OF opin-
ion in his friends. Col. Polk tolerated |
differences Of opinion, and you differed with !
him in his views on the tariff, and yet you |
remained i'm his Ccbinet. Mr.. Pierce tOler- |
ated differences of opinion. But here you
are. Men who put you where you are
who ask nothing at your hands-who have
refused your favors-have trampled all the
patronage that has been offered them under
foot; here they are, asking to be tolerated
in the indulgence of an honest opinion.
The answer to that was, "Sir, l intend to
make my Kansas policy test" "Well,
SIR" said /, Al regret it; but if you make
it test with your officers, we will make 1t
a test at the ballot box" Loud cheers.
Repeated efforts were made to heal the
difference. But il seems to me, gentlemen,
that when the Presidency is conferred upon
a poor mortal, it transforms him into god,
in his own estimation, ora lunatic. No
body is permitted to approach power and
tell the truth. Power never hears the thun-
dering voice of the people, sitting as it does,
in its easy chairs and between its marble
walls. An independent man, with a voice
loud and bold, who goes up to tell the truth,
is waived off from the Presidential presence
as a rude intruder. AS said before, re-
peated efforts were made in vain.
The comforting of the Presidential patron
age with its vast millions, more than the
| great monarchess of Great Britain herself
enjoys, and nearly as much as the French
monarch wields, made Mr. Buchanan believe
| that he would make this test successful.
How was it made2 Oh, gentlemen, the
chapter which shall tell the manner in which
| the Administration has used its patronage
will be q black one. And when our chill
dren, and our children's children, come to
read it they will not believe that an Ameri-
can citizen, elevated to the Presidential
chair, i'm the face of such people, covered
with such armor of pledges, would have
gone into that chair to have used his army
-ay, his army and the treasure-your
money and mine-your officers and mine
for the purpose of putting down a gallant
band of men for standing by the plain Gods
truth; and would wish that when the his
torian comes to write he would not he COM
PEELED to wriee that that President was born
in Pennsylvania. Applausel
Now, gentlemen, there has not been an ele-
ment lacking to relieve this unredeemed in
famy-not one. There has not been single
circumstance lacking. They have gone on,
step by step, with tread of fate and destiny,
trying TO crush out the brave and gallant
spirits who have stood forth asking for
nothing but to he allowed to do right. Look
at the South, in whose name this deed, Lee
comptouism, has been perpetrated, after its
representatives in the Senate and the House
have assisted in bounding down Stephen A.
Douglas and David @. Broderck and their
gallant compatriots i'm the House, the South
begins to say as they see the Administration
hell hounds pursueing and attacking Doug
las and his friends in Illinois "This is toe
much"
We are willing to accept Lccompton a:
gilded poison which has been extended Ia
US, and which is to help us, though the only
thing it has done has been TO commit oul
representatives to a gross wrong toward the
North. But we cannot bear this persecu
tion." Read the letter published the other
day i'm the New York papers from Reverdy
Johnson, Of Maryland Read the state
ment of Alex H. Stephens and Henry A
Wise. They are .clamorous against thes,
attacks on Mr.. Douglas. Public men il
this country forget in their trucking to tn,
, South that Southern people are Americans
|, as we are. They have their slavery. They
have their peculiar institutions. But they
, reject a wrong-they reject an infamy-
they reject unfairness just as readily as W,
do. They will not submit to this tyrann,
of the Administration upon Mr.. Douglas
And so it will be when the Administration
begin by counting the South-by declaring
that the only thing the President should de-
is to yield to the South, that Administration
! will end by the South turning upon it
What then? Ii will be Tylerised. Laugh
!. teri The Administration of James Blu
! chanan Tylerised-supported by a set Of of
flee holders and expectants only, with al
! the great parties, and the one that pu
. il in power inclusive, standing from it an,
stunning il like a contagion!
Imperial Cesas, dead and turned TO clay,
1 Must stop ho. to keep the wind away.
