the American name from this odium, and this
disgrace. Why, gentlemen. in 1856, Dot to go
back to that but for an instant, We would
never have got The Republican gote we did for
Mr.. Buchanan if we had not pledged ourselves
over head and heels for this doctrine. Now, let
me say word in conclusion on the subject of
popular sovereignty. You Republicans are
coming to 1t, and, gentlemen you will come 20
it. Now mark; there is but Que way fer it.
1 saw the other day speech made BY q dis
tinguished New York journaEst-and speak
of him as distinguished for many things, tho
We have differed for many years-I mean Mr.
Greeley. [Cheers.l He pointed the way TO
the coming time. He has been denouneinc
popular sovereignty as humbug. Ii would
have been if all the Democrats cooperating
with him had surrendered to the Adulinistra-
ton. 1t Is not hdmbug--it is living pria-
cil'le. Tell me this is illusory that a people
to the number of $4,000 have been strong
enough in their own will and their own way 10
put down the army of the United States, and
beat the Shareholders minority, with about
/ S70,0C0,O00 of patronage, oyearun with Fed
eral officers, with the Senate aud House against
them-with the President betraying his trust
tell me not that they, armed as they have been
by the simple, naked principle of popular
sovereignty-that this principle is a humbug.
Why, what does such wonders, must be real
must be right. Come to it, gentlemen, the
men who are for Congressional Intervention
here aru Lecomptonites; men whom you des-
pise. They are constantly telling you, day af-
ter day, that they despise you. We offer to
you the principle of Popular Sovereignty
brought from the fair fields of Kansas, cover
ed all over with glory. We have proved that
we stand by it; we have turned our backs upon
the Administration; We have rejected its pat
rouage; We have laughed at its establishments is
! no mean thing to do at any time, and partic-
ularly at a time like the present, when our
r country has been swept by such whirlwiud.--
a Believe in US, stand by Haskn IN his noble con-
h duct, vindieate the principle in his election;
n cease your differences as to power; give US the
q principle and the name will be little. That
. which applies to the Republicans applies with
significant force to the Americans; and must
say, Il would do injustice to MY character If
: did not say t) that an inexorabiy opposed q
:. one portion OF the American creed; that Is dut
to you gentlemen, and to MYSELF, but there i
another portion Of the American creed which
teaches US, and We are bound to believe then.
