rupt acts that all the blue pills and citrate OF magnesa
in the country would fail to work off Great cheering
Talk about corruption in the democratic party why,
fond you of punder that after death your eoined
tombstone TLong continued applause
But after ALL my fsow-czens this great noise about
corruption il only lyng cry for 1860,
for another and bitter sectional strife This
men are figuring in this movement who gave life to
the hot blood of 1856 They have stretched almost
breaking the snews Of nationa brotherhood they
have almost aenated section Of eonederacy and
they seek TO finish their infamous work The cry
has gone forth that sths country must be all free all
slave and they mashaIling their forces to break
down State-rghs disrupt the conederacy All eyes
turned to Pennsylvania to know what she will do and
say. Planted, she is, the imaginary Line Of de-
rision, what will she do in that crisis The
send the country from the thousands here assembled
sPennsyvani will be true to the constitution and the
Union ICfreat applansel Her confidence is firm her
mountains and her devotion lasting the iron in her
beds. Vociferous APPLAUSE She will uphold or
fall with the banner Of nationality But, fall she
must-if separation Of this confederacy is brought
about by the infamous Vaccinations Of this black peo

ida a Union OF states, loving and fraternizng,
will rejoice in the sunshine of constitutional liberty
[Great cheering Nor would the movement be
to country In our infancy we adopted the art
icles OF confederation for government, but
found them inadequate to our wants. We then met
of
perfect Union, adopted the constitution under which
live For years peaceful and happy until the
treason of New England worked its way through all the
northern States There 1t s ranking and fostering and
unless the knife of sound, national conservatism il
used for its eradication the ultimate consequences must
be the calling Of convention, to forni still more
perfect Union leaving the New England States with their
treason and ncendarsm attached to the British provn
oes, where they naturally belong-her national democ
racy having previously fed from her from doomed
city. ERapturous appausel would not adyocate this
proceeding until had exhausted every Of
citation and had nothing left but the honor that orgi
ually sealed the compact EGreat appause.l
Let us, my fellow citizens, by exertons, endeavor
to keep that day far distant Let rally enthusiastically
the support Of democratic principles and democratic
administration that is pledged for the preservation of
State-rghts and consequently the Union. In proper
ton the opposition vent their upon the Pres

and shield him from their ruthless attacks prolonged
