American people, to resist it, to oppose it, to

will ever consent to stand still and give you
and me a fair fight face to face. 1t will
dodge us around corners. it will meet us in
the dark, it viii spring upon us unawares in

triumph of the rights nf man. is in that fdel-

exist nowhere, and would uproot it every
where. (Applause.)
l sympathize with the ardent hope and
characteristic energy of the gentleman who
with such distinguished ability has repre-
sented tbs Worcester District in the Congress
of the United States, (Cheers.) l differ
from him as to measures and as to details
but am happy to know that we are united
in principle, in faith and in hope. and in

knee to this great American Baal, so long
does my courage last, so long is our ultimate
victory secure. ILeud cheers) !, gentle
men, have seen the day, young as | am,
have seen "the day of small things;" when
great men, and wise men, and powerful men,
and great and powerful political organizations,
laughed to scorn the few, the feeble and in
significant few, with whose doctrines, and
with whose purposes | sympathzed. And
yet, thanks be to God today, have lived to
see the hour when the vast majority of Mas
sachusetts men, ranged under one victorious
banner OF Liberty, have inaugurated a poiti-
cal organization, whose thoughts and words
are echoed from the rocky mountains of New
hampshire, from the green, rolling pr0iries
of Illinois, from beyond the Mississippi, from
that slave State even, Of Missouri, lIom the
great far West
where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound,
Save his own dashings,"
from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific sea, there
they stand, the faithful, serried hosts of Free.
DOM ranged in ore conqueIing phalanx, I'M
der this victorious banner, sure, ave, sure of
success, because in their own hearts they have
the prophecy. Whether it be in 1860 or in
ga or when-it will come Enthusiastic
cheers.) Aye, the day will come when the
bright sun 90 shall rise upon no master and
set upon no slave" (Reuewed cheerng.)
Call me enthusiast, aye, fanatic, if YOU
will, as God lives. these words are true as
the human pulse beats, as the human heart
feels, they are true! cloud applause.) l
believe 1t, firm IN my love of man, and equal
ly firm in my attachment to American insti-
tutons and 10 the Federal Union of the
American States. l believe it; and in every
State OF this Union there are hearts today
which echo the words of your resolutions and
the doctrines they contain; and faithful men
and brethren in the Free StaIes of this ma
lion, after the measure CT their power,-the
Clays of Kentucky, and the Blairs of Missou-
Twill echo your words, and carry you on
to victory cloud and prolonged eheering.l

too long with these remarks, C. Go on,-go
on. and l yield the floor to other gentle
men, who | hope will address Won.
