We who sci with Mr.. Haskin, we who follow
the flag borne by those great heroes of the day
those immortal chieGtains, Henry A. Wise and
Stephen A. Dougas--are constantly twitted
with combining with what are politely called

And you in New York, who think the Demo.

official despotism. take care lest when Novem

think a good deal more of their principles than
they do of their organization. For my part,
speaking for Pennysvania, on The 18th of Oc-
tober, when you open the N. Y. Tribune, Herald
snd Times, you will see under the Telegraphic
head figures something like this; 100000 ma.

1856, not to go back to that but for an instant.
we would never have got the Republican vote
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 Republi.
cans are coming to IL. and, gentlemen, you will
come 10 il. Now mark there is but one way
for il. saw the other day a speech made by q
distinguished New York journalist--and speak
of him as distinguished for many things. though
we have differed for many years--I mean Mr.
Greedy. Cheers. .He pointed the way to the
coming time. He has heen denouncing popu'
lar sovereignty as humbug. 1t would have
been if all the Democrats cooperating with
him had surrendered to the Administrati tiOn.--
1t is not hunbug--lt is living principle.
Tell me this is illusory--thas people to the
number of 10000 have been strong enough in
their own will and their own way to put down
an army of the United States, and beat the slave
holders minority, with about S70 100000 o
patronage, overrun with Federal officers. with
the Senate and Hous against them--with the
President betraying his trust--tell M tnat they
armed as they have been by lhr simple naked
principle of Popular Sovereignty his prIn
cipal is humbug? WHY what dos such

We offer to you the principle OF Popular Snver-
eighty brought from the fair fields OF Kansas
covered all over with glory. We have proved
that we stand by it we have turned our back,
upon the Administration we have rejected its
patronage; we have laughed at its Establishments
no mean thing to do at any time, and particu ar
ly at a time like the present, when oul
country has been swept by such a whirl
wind. Believe in us, stand by Haskin IN
his noble conduct, vindcate the principle I
his election cease your differences as 10 pow

little. That which applies with significant
force to The Americans and must say, q would
do injustice 10 my character il did not say il,
that am inexorably opposed to one portion o
the American creed. that is due TO you gentle
men and to myself; but there is another por
tion Of the American creed which teaches us
and we are bound TO believe them, tina il is
national creed. They have their Southern con
necIions--they have their Humphrey Marshall
