POLITICAL PARTIES OF THE STATE.
Without further preface let say 10 you that as the
parties are now oygsnlzed they took their origin from
no very remote period. In 1851 adopted our pres
ert State Constitution II was famed and adopted in
great pat by the votes of what was known a. the
| Democratic party. The Safe Government went into
existence in January, 1852. From that time onward
our political history in this State may be consid-
| eIed.
1t GO happens that about the period there was
new DIVISION Of political parties in the country. In
1872 You aware the two old parties aiOpsd their
respective pro.severy platforms a. Baltimore, AMI thse
platforms passed, you al know, upon the rec
! Ion Of the Compromise Measures of 1850, including
the Fugitive Slave Act, as final settlement OF the
Slavery question. No one, It seems to me, who had
any know ledge Of political philosophy, or OF the hs0ry
of parties, could fail to see, tina, the very moment
the Of that election should be determined, new
political organization must arise because both parties
A. Baltimore bad adopted substanti Ally the same plat
fonn-both had adopted It upon the theory that the
Slavery question was 10 be finally settled by these
measures, and any body Who YVES acquainted with the
spirt and history Of the SsvepoTer must have been
pretty well assured that the aggressioDs OF Slavery
were TO be terminated by the OF either parry
upon that platform, but, that the sGccss,fal party
would not De Obliged to stand upon that but would 90
On further aggressors while the unsuccessful party
would give self TO the strong sentiment in asor of
| free sO1, which demanded and would demand,
different settlement Of the Slavery question.
| This anticipation wac IN fast realized. Dir.
| Pierce was as you know, elected and Mr.. Pierce,
| whether he supposed the COMPROMISE measures were
70 settle the slavery question or no. speedily found toat
they did not settle II, but that new demands were TO
| which the Slave power to enforce these pew de-
mands. Then necessarily arose this new division OF
| parties. Many Of the Wings of the country had &C
quiesced IN tie Comp measures upon the theory
tha have stated tha il was 70 be inaity, that they
not to be compelled 20 submit to anything more
and they found that they were 20 be disappointed
and when m9Dy Democrats found that they also were
to be disappointed they came together with the exist
ng free-soI alton in new party The discus
siOn upon tie Nebraska b, signalized the origin Of
this new party and the result OF this discussion in the
| eSi NJ
| eAce and consolidated II.
| Thus you see, my fellow citizens that a. the time of
| the CONNER cement, almost identical with eI
ence under State Constitution, there commenced
new parties IN general affairs. Now what do We
tee We see Wigs, Democrats, FreesoIl msn, men
Of pstve BIRTH men OF foreign birth, men OF all creed.
sta ding together in this Rep lblcan organization
| animated as believe, by the principles, in the
man, which animated the Old Republican party in the
! DAYS of jefferson; and We see, upon tho other side
Wings and Democrats, and an sorry to cay, some
ren vino stood in the front ranks OF the Free-so
battle, united together upon the platform OF Slavery.
Afew years ago NJ. Buchanan was looking for the
nomination for the Presidency. In 1872 he wrote .
Letter from Wbea. and In that letter no said, intend.
ing that it shonld be read by the American people,
that our financial affairs were in bad way; that our
expenditures had already reached the enormous SUN
,f fifty niliOls Of dollars, and that unless the De
mucrscy put forth it, strong and resisted this ten
ceucy 10 extrava .ance there was reason 10 appie-
heDd that IL the course OF some short time the eI.
poncures would reach the sum of one hnndre1 mil
hons of dollars There was no knowing that If the
Democracy did not put forth Its stioDg arm but the
expenses Of the Government would swell 10 the or
nous sum Of one hundred mii9Ts Of dol ns.
Well now, Mr.. Buchanan wss elected in 1876, az
we all know. did not vote for him, and a good
many Of you did rot, but some Of You did, TO your
great sorrow. ILsughter.I Well, be was elected, at
any rate end Whist did be DO Why. he put forth his
strong Democratic arm, bat It had ths opposite effect
from what he bad predicted in his letter Instead OF
sresDg extravaganza il propelled it, and in the first
year of his Administration the expenditures Of the
Goyenu ent were about sixty five millions of do,lsr.
They bad already rt ached the enormous Of fifty
| millions when he went into office. Now they were
raised 10 sixty five millions. IL lss The strong Demo.
cratic arm was still extended and still in action, and
the expenditures of the Government went up instead
OF down. to eghty.one millions OF dollars, believe
In 1882 tDis year a. you know much TO your BORROW,
this sroi Democratic arm still ex'ends, ard the ex-
! penditures according 10 the estimates male by your
| own able ntelgent and excellent member Of Con-
| gress 90 mp 10 niDety enc millions OF collars Mex
year when this strong Democratic erm will be still *
fenced for the last tine se Will have to D. tnsnk II
for that there is every reason far the encouraging eX-
| recitation that Mr.. Buchanan prophecy will oe ial-
filed, and the expenditures vii he raised to over
! one buudred millions OF doLarp.
| Whist 10 my Democratic brethren think OF that
There the arm. II is Democratic. There Is the e1-
| penduIe. No body question thst. But THIS is a
matter which is not worthy'he attention Of Denocrac
orators; they satisfied with the extension OF the
Democratic arm; but iok the people Interested
| in it, ard therefore speak If i.
In regard TO the question OF Savey-for az ssld a.
the outset although there other questions OF No.
teresi which becomes al intelligent people to think
OF most riOusly there is still this great question OF
Slavery coming into our State and nstional alsTs,
which deserves serious consideration.
The Republican Legislature, knowing th.t the save
holders claim the sh 10 pass through the Free sAtes
with tier slaves, an 10 hold them a. slaves al'ins
