upon several Of the Questions of>public interest
which grew out Of the pending canvass. He
viewed the policy Of the democratic party as de
veoped in their late administration Of the Fed
eral Government and more especially the admin
is,ratiOns Of Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Buchanan, aud

that they are the only national party, they had
been taxing advantage Of their position In the
seat OF power not TO serve the best interests Of the
country, but 10 serve party ends and purposes.
The speaker then spoke briefly Of the relative
positions Of Breckinridge and Lincoln in the
pending ampaigD, and held that both sides are
endeavoring to make political capital out Of an
1mpracticable iSsue-the question Of slavery in
the territories-the one aide holding the doctrine
Of Intervention TO protect, anu the other side the
the doctrine TO interdct slavery in territories

democratic administration since 1SIO that has
been indorsed by the democratic party that thew
have never dared to bring forward democratic
President for reelection. He alluded TO the
course Of the several opposition candidates in
travelling about the country making stump
speeches, and held that such a course was degrad-
ing the Presidential office. He held that this
whole agitation Of slavery which threatens to dis
member the Union Is the offspring Of the demo.
cratic party; that the compromises Of Mr.. FIJI
more's administration had set the question at rest
for ever, had not the democratic party sti red IL
up again by passing that Infamous measure which.
repealed the Missouri Compromise The speaker

have led to the disruption of the democratic party,
and said that IL YVES satisfaction. II In conse-
quence Of that disruption, Lincoln was to be ele-
waited to the ncy; but that f. by Its DOWN
lal, those pure and patriotic gentlemen. the can
didates Of the Union party, could he elected to
the two FIRST offices in the nation then the dislnem-
Oerment OF the "spoils party occurred to some
purpose He then went on to speak of the disunon
elements at work in the pending presidential
struggle, and Of the impose brty II a dissolution
ofths confederacy under any circumsta noes which
could grow out OF the election of Lincoln. The
country could stand four more wears Of mal-sd-
ministration. But we had no idea that Lincoln
would be elected. The people are getting worn
out with this perpetual agitation Of the slavery
question, and the conservative elements are al
work, which will explode forever this miserable
partiZan bug bear ..H.
The speaker commended that the slavery question
II len TO itself would settle ITSELF and fiat this
doctrine Of Intervention and of non Intervention
has no practical effect, in fact, upon It, He then
PAID MS respects To tu- Southern disuniOnists,

for years to bring about disruption Of the Union
