children to revereiI all must end in this never.
let free man met FREQ man again, and greet him
with length of years.
"An early tomb.
Wherein 10 escape the hiss aud scorn
OF all mankind, werc sure better doom"
Tear down your fling burn your Capitol; dis
miss your navy; disband your army lot our
commerce rot; overturn nll your monuments, here
in Baltimore and everywhere else give to the
flames tho once loved record Of our fathers
deeds scatter the saurci dust Of Washington,
never, never" teach your boys to forget his
name, aud never let tho pilgrims loot tread the
consecra'cd groves OF Mount Vernon. Can we
surrender all these bright and glorious hopes p
ii wo can, then wc ot tho Union party arc
the most recreant of all mankind, and tho curses
of all time will cling upon us like the shirt Of
Nessus.
We have now fair opportunity before IA of
rcdcoming tho country. I'VE will do it, Tho
Tho Democratic party was broken in pieces nj
Charleston, Iapplausc, and tho Republican party
II week from this time will share the snmo ino at
Chicago. Renewed applause. The one, MS you
sald yesterday, Mr.. President. was stranded upon
tho rock Of sQnatter sovereignty, and tho other
will be broken down under the weight of the "ir.
rcrrcssible conflict" while tho vessel that clears
our fortunes 81 all "walk upon tho waters like
thing of life" Applause. Tho storm may rage,
but 1t will not beat upon our house. Tho waters
conflict shall Diiyidc upon tho right hand
and the left and wo will pass through the
Red Sea unhurt and unharmed. Renewed M.
