weeks had been entirely lost There had
been great deal of good done by adjourn
ing over from time to time and as to the pro-
ceedings at Charleston, it i'll becomes the
Republicans To complain of what has been
done. We disposed of the Whg party

Republican doctrines, when the Republicans
wonl1 not have been permitted to go
Now tue Democratic party is broken 10
pieces, but there was to be an attempt to
unite it together again, with Spaulding's
glue, (Laughter) and make it stick There
had been great deal Of good done, but
these men doing it did not know what they
were about. Sampson, when he overthrow
the temple Of the Phiistines, was blind, and
did not see what tremendous piece of
work he was doing; 50 these Democrats
were blind instruments in the hands uf
Providence to work odt a good result, and
it affords an Illustration of the truth Of the
saying in Holy Writ, that God would make
the wrath of man praise him, ana the resi-
due thereof lie would restrain That's
Just exactly what has been done in that
Convention. If the Senator from Maine
fonnd time lor private recreation during the
adjournment that was different from his
experience. 1-
