| political eyes. Laughter. Douglas had
said at Bangor that he had made an impress
sion in Maine. So he had, and doubled the
Republican majority. From Maine Douglas
had pursued a path more crooked than the
children of Israel in the wilderness, sowing
seeds Of popular sovereignty along the way
which viii yet bring big crop Of fruit for
the Republican side.
The speaker then spoke Of the manner Of
D09glas's NOMINATION., and the peddllng tour
which he is making, selling the universal
panaeea of popular sovereignty. The Dem
ocrats had got what the doctors would term
a political marssmus, on which the medicine
OF popular sovereignty has no good effect.
Gen. Nye said that he once saw in Penn
sylvania deer and a bear taking shelter to-
gether under tree while storm passed by.
He suggested to the deer, in his own mind,
You had better leave" So now he said to
Washington Hunt in New York, or to the
others, for he did not care which whipped or
which got devOured; that as soon as his fear
was over, he had better leave.
But all the fusion could not defeat Lin
coin. We have an army larger than that Of
&erxes; each one carries a breastplate Of
freedom and a blazing torch which will
cast shining ballotfor the right. He want

them, then, bring up all their s. q month 7
fellows, and VIC will see what we can do in
the battle. The fusiOns are held together
with frigidity which the genial warmth Of
the Republican sun wlu melt away like the
morning dew. HUrTah for the man who
combines all the political creeds." Laugh !

Gen. Nye then spoke in terms Of glowing
eulOgy and eloquent praise Of Joshua r.
Giddings who stood "peerless Ofall the early
heroes fer freedom" And then John
Sherman, ,'anOther glorious son Of Ohio"
was also referred to.

To attempt to report Gen. Nye's speeches
is like reporting the roaring Of a whirlpool.
Bold, impulsive, witty, and full of patriotic
fire, he rushes on; here laundering out
living truth in words Of fire, and then turn
ing such a joke as to convulse the audience
with laughter. Not word of his speech
would any of the audience lose, but applaud
ed and roared alternately. He is thorough
going, glorious stump speaker. ..
He spoke of the prospects in New York.
