political At Montgomery, Alabama bot on

JuDeE DOUGLAS SPEECH.
FeHop-atizeRs Of NeD Orleans: Two years
ago, when Ihad Just concluded a s~trugglein
defence OF the Constitution, the Union and
the equal rights Of the States, in my "
State, I came here on private business, and
you gave me such a reception as had never
before been extended 10 me. Cheers A.. Then
| came before you as a victor in a great con-
test and you received me like a conqueror.
Cheers Aud nov | appear before you,
having just gone through another and still
greater struggle in defence Of the same prin-
ciples and the same rights, defeated in the
contest, and yet you extend to me a welcome
which could not have been excelled, even if
I had come among you as the President elect
Loud cries Of 'yOu will be in 1864" A
banner, bearing a fine painting of Douglas,
with 1864 Inscribed upon it, was here
waved alot amid the widest cheering and
enthusiasm.) These are the right kind of
friends. (Cheers) They adhere to a man
in the right whether defeated or victorious.
t"Hurrah for Douglas" and cheers.) 1 have
pleasure in believing that this demonstration
is not intended as a mere personal compli-
ment to myself. It is the more gratifying to
me because it is the evidence Of your devo-
ton to those great principles of selfgoyern-
ment and constitutional liberty 10 which my
life is devoted. ('Thats it" and cheers.)E
I believe that il we are faithful to the Consti-
tuition, there is no grievance which cannot be
remedied under that instrument and within
the union. (Cheers.) If we are true
to ourselves there is no grievance for which
disunion would be a remedy. (Cheers.GI
All we have to do is to maintain ~inviolate
every provision of the Constitution, perform
faithfully every duty it it requires, and fulfill
every ~obligatisni il imposes. Y lCheers So
long as we live under s'constitution which is
the supreme law of the land, it must be ad-
ministered so as to secure equal rights, equal
justice and equal protection to the people of
all the States. ICheers. These principles Of
equality are not confined in their operation to
the States alone, but extend to the Territories
and wherever else the American flag waves
American soil. 1Cheers. Let US nov
bury the excitement and angry passions
which have manifested themselves during the
contest Let US lay aside all partisan feeling
and act as become patriots and lovers of our
country. lCheers. Let us unite to put down
sectionalism and abolitionism and every
other element Of political and national dis
cord. TCheers.1 Let no grievances, no en-
FILTERED feelings impair the the force OF our
efforts. Let US put ourselves 10 work to res
cue the government of the country from the
hands Of those we think unworthy to admin
ister it. [Cheers.1 If Abraham Lincoln is
President what harm can be dO2 NOne.
THERE'S a majority against him in the Senate
and a majority in the House Of Representa-
tives. He is poWerless for mischief-au he
can do is to FL the Offices, and the majority
in the Senate viii reject those be nominates if
they are not good men, EChesrs.l he will
be in object of administration and pity
rather than Of fear. [Cheers. Then why
should we break up the best government that
the sun in its circuit around the earth ever
shOne upon, merely because we have been de-
feated linI a Presidential election Let US
rather rally with renewed energy and daunt-
less courage in the performance of our duties,
and rescue the country from the hands in
which it should never have been placed.
