! the roar of the audience caused the speaker to
break down. and to precipitatcly retire The
speakers for those waiting on Mr. Bolts had
wit enough 10 suppress that part Of their real
sentiments imprudcntly uttered by Sambo.-.
The 'piri. OF the addresses was, as MAJ be
supposed, 70 the following purport

How could the honorable gentleman fail to
appreciate the sincerity Of their professions
Things were wrong, and he was Just the man

raj of the Ashlandcr, and others, who had thus
honorcd Mr. Bolts with calls were Of the Black
Republican faith
In his reply 10 his las, visitors on the eve

well known where hc stood and what were the

We had, probably, with many others. sup.

tempted 10 explain il away. Yet, on Thursday
evening, he said that in order to defeat the De
mocratS at the next Presidential election. "it
was necessary that all shades or the opposi:ioI
should be cordially united, having in view only
the great object, that OF roofing out corruption,
and the Inauguration Of 4 new order o! things
as regarded the government Of the republic
To unite the Opposition WAS, in his opinion, no
very difficult tasl:."
Again, he says that Republicans, Wings
and Americans were all anxious TO overthrow
the Democracy, and they could just as well
form an allied party as the warning parties Of
Europe did al army. lie looked, however.
upon the word Opposition as being the more
proper, though "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" He had
often heard that the Republican party. or mem.
bers of it, were unwilling to relnquish their
distinctive namc. This looked rather more
like fighting for maine than the great princi-
PIES at stake But even the name of each party
might be preserved, and the battle fought any
won"
Now, when the Hon. gentleman says that
parties Of "dN shades opposed TO Democracy
ought to be united to defeat it, does he not
recoinmcn. that the Wings and Know

the Seward sectional party Of tho North,

This speech clearly shows where he stands
