Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1858-02-04

on tins great cardinal point! why, sir hs
asks, is man who differs from the President
on the Pacific Railroad TO go out of the par
ty. Oh, no, he may stay. If he differ!
on the Central America, very good; take
the first seat, if you please. You may
differ with the President on anything anG
everything but one, and that is this senti
ment which / shall read; Mr.. Buchanan
shall speak in his own creed. On the 10th
of August, 1912, in the Senate, Mr.. Blu.
chanan used this language: @
II might here repeat what have said
on former OCCASION
you see it was SO important he must repeat
it
-'sthat all Christendom"-
mark the words lai
-ais leagued against the South upon this
question of domestic slavery"
All Christendom includes great many
people. If that be true, and you have got
any allies, it is manifest they must be out
side of Christendom-[ [laughter]-because
Mr.. Buchanan says all christendom is
against you; but some allies, and you will
see-it is as plain as demonstration can
make it-that your allies are not included
in Christendom. Where are the allies? l
will read the next sentence:
"They have no other allies to sustain
their constitutional rights except the Dem
ocracy of the North"
There is light for you: all Christen-
dom on one side, and the Democracy of the
North on the other. Laughter.] That is
not my version it is Mr.. Buchanan's. That
is the way be backs his friends; for he went
on, after having made this avowal, to claim
peculiar consideration from Southern gen.
tlernen, and intimated that he might speak
a little more freely, having priviously in
dorsed them so highly as this. Well, sir
when all Christendom was on one side, and
the Northern Democracy on the other, and
the Democracy of the North growing less
and less every day-a small minority in
the New England States-how could the
Senator from Illinois be so unkind, or how
could he doubt if, on this vital question,
he deserted the Democracy and went over
to Christendom, laughter, as to how the
question would be answered, whether he
was to be read of out the party. Read out,
sir! That question was settled long ago.
On this great vital question he is out of the
party. s5e-s7f.s f..ss .4..f -.
I,would not say anything unkind to that
senator, nor would say anything uncour-
teous in thu world; but my experience in
the country life of New England does pre-
sent to my mind an illustration which l
know he will excuse me if I give it. A
neighbor of mine had very valuable horse.
The horse was taken sick, and he tried all
the ways in the world TO cure him, but it
was of no avail. The horse grew worse
daily. At last one of his neighbors said:
aWhat are you going to do with the horse!"
81 do not know" was the reply, "but l
think l shall have to kill him." "Well, said
the other, "he not need much killing"
Laughter. You see in ordinary times,
and on ordinary questions, a little wayer
ing might be indulged; but when it is on
one question, and a great. vital question,
and all Christendom is ON one side, and the
northern democracy on the other, to go
over from the ranks of the democracy to
swell the swollen ranks of Cristendom,
and then ask if he is to be read out l
leave that point. Laughter.
