Government iu which every maj has night To think,
speak and art sccriing to his pwn inoiinaaos- and
Irpuses-provided he does not infringe upon ms
ueieLbors' rghts-neyer having been deprived ot
tbese bessinc- they could more appreciate them
than n an who has never been sick can appreciate
The blessings of heath. But these great blessings
NUT be preserved by earnest determination On tne
uert 81 freeman to surrender not one ot OF tte
81 his rights. Let no mao personal interest be pre-
fgrcd To the good of his c0uutry. This was the
errcr Of the old Federal parry and the Dem
ocrstic party, pursuing precisely the same course
NUT ike them 20 to destruction, and BE- SUI
pereded by the Republican party. The inst
thing to BE- considered nust be the equal rights oi
al No man should aspire to high station IN
the Republic until he has earned 1t BY noble deeds,
srd ii any mans friends hts party find hun
attempted 10 seek il by other indirect means they
should withhold il from him, fr he would be likely 10
use II fer bad ends The Republican party was Ike the
old Revolutionary party, brought into being by the
necessity Of reforming abuses. There had been al al
TENT to suppress freedom Of discussion. but the he

tie Republican party. if in the hour Of success It
should abandon it, principles. Ills e-league had Just
lett them Ia 90 to the Old World, where great war
was BOW breaking Out, solely because these New Iesa
uen principles of equa rights tn all men do not there
have the asceudancy. Ii was the policy Of despots TO
keep the people at war with each other IN order 10
naiitain their own power Hence the Emperor Ma
poleon was obliged To tud employment tor his army
and hence the despvtism OF Austria was compelled 10
send armies TO ovcrrun Italy. How light was our task
odefend that liberty which our fathers laid down their
lives to achieve. III order that oppressed humanity
ui the Old might have asylum IN the New World.
He WIS happy TO say that thus far, notwithstand-
ng some slight mutieriugs, the oppressed had
always found a welcome from the generous Ameri-
can people and he trusted this land would ever be
maintained as u welcome home to the oppressed
of all nations Ii business first to take care OF
our country and next our sympathes were due to
our struggling brethren abroad. He believed this
country safe in the hands of its sturdy yeomanry-

pie never failed To vote light when the issue fairly
presented. lie was reared in the Democratic faith,
ard WAS gra flied to find that those districts which were
the strongest for Democracy in the days OF honest
Democracy were now the strongest Republican DIS
tricts. He hoped and believed that Senator Seward
nigh BE- our next President. Cheers. But, after ALL
the cause did not depend upon any one man or set of
men. Ii Senator Seward ought not to be President he
wuud not be- but il was because he ought to be that
he would be- (Applause.
