Let us look at that That is the last
count 6nd. Mr.. Breckenridge, the pa.
pers tell US, has said-yes. Sir, John hes
said that there il trouble brewing. What
is the matter, John You and the Dem
oeratic party have had possession Of the
Government for nearly three. quarters oi
q century; you have put up and you have
put down; you have had control of the do
mestic and foreign policy of the country
you have been omDipotent in States and
10 the Union, in the Senate and in Con,
gress. you have had tho Executive and
the judicial Department Of the Govern,
ment, and the country is sick, is it'll Why
what is the 10 Datterl Who has been doc
toring it Who has caused this breaking
up of bonds Of union of which We have
heard this dayl am sad, you are sad,
We are all sad. 1t is indeed sorry sight,
to see a people in time of peace and pros
perity dragged to the verge Of dissolution
and the curious part of it il, and the cru
ell part is that if one of you had wife or
daughter that you tenderly love, as you
ought. you would not act as you now DO
with this Union, that you boast of SO
much.
God knows, as bad man as | am
thought to be, and as KentuckiaDs are
thought to be In general, | love my wife
above all women; she is 10 health, and
she goes and comes, she smiles and cries,
work. and plays, and does all those things
that nature designed her to do, and if |
call in some doctor upon some immagina-
~ or real affliction of the great internal
course of health, and the doctor brings
her to bed, the rose fades FROM her cheek,
the bright eye becomes dull, and the full
and round form becomes cmaciated, and
I say, "Why DR., the woman is dying. in
the name of God what are you going to
do "Well," says be, "the woman is dy
ing, l am sorry, bot | am going to yindi-
cate myself in history" Great God, are
we American people, the free people OF
the nstion to die, and if the Union is dis
solved, be intends to yindioate the Demo
cratic party in history.
I tell you good sense calls for change
of doctors The Democratic party has
brought you on the road to the devil
Change your piIot-your rulers. Turn
them out, and put other men at the helm.

Let US look little at that thing of dis
solution. A body would suppose with

come dangerous for me to speak where
there are nillions Of white men to q few
hundred thousand slaves, that slave
property had become unsafe. Dissolve
the Union, and move the line to the north
of the Ohio, and would you have addi-
tionsl securityl Does any man suppose
lis any man mad enough to suppose
that if these people, once bound together
By a common brotherhood of suffering
By association in churches. by common
Christianity. by the ties of education, can
not remain in peace in the Union, that
they would remain 10 peace out of i'll
Does Mr.. Breckenridge or Gov. Magofhn
suppose sush a case as that!
You have your answer when you say
Gov. Wise, who, 10 the last Presidential
race. talked of seiring upon the arsenal
and marching to Washington to take pos
session of the archieves. and preventing
the inauguration of q Republican Presi'
