Eloquent Extract.


The following patriotic extract we take from
Judge Douglas speech on the occasion of his
reception at Concord:
Then again you come to talk to MS about q
dissolution of the Union, we tell you "Nol New
er.,' We make southwark as well as north
ward. We furnish the water that floats down
the Mississippi as we'll as the water that floats
through the lakes and the St. Lawrence. We
intend to follow that water wherever it flows,
until it mingles into the broad ocean. ZAP
plause1 We have social and commercial re-
lations with the South and the East alike. We
have the tie of country and of blood that
binds them together. When you tell US that
this Union is to be dissolved we say "Neverl''
for the reason that we never intend to travel
into a foreign country, and obtain passport
and have it uised by consul in order to visit
the tombs of our fathers or the scenes of our
childhood. Hence there is not man on the
frontier that don't love this glorious Union;
and because We do love the Union our motto
is never to do an act that would ALLEVIATE one
portion of the people from another.
You can only preserve the Union by main
tanning peace and harmony and concord among
the people of the different sections. Remem.
ber that one tie after another has already beer
severed. This fell spirit of sectional strife
has invaded the holy sanctuary, and has even
separated the Churches into Churches Nortf
and Churches South. This fell spirit of sec
tional strife has separated brethren at thu
communion table. And when you find spiri
of strife so deadly that it can sever social tie
and religious tie, and political tie, what is you
Constitution worth, when you have made tn,
people enemies who live under itY You mus
bind the hearts Of this people together, if yo,
expect to maintain the Union. You can onl,
bind those hearts together, and mould then
into one, by observing those great principle
of equity upon which our whole system rests

EtOats||
Often In the Republican professions
they have boat on wheels as reminder
that Abe was fat>boatman.
We have heard the story Of Abe's boat
ing experience, about as follows:
He was loading hat-boat at time
when the water was rather below good
boating stage, and in order to see whether
the river was raising or not, he drove q
nail in the side of his boat near the edge
of the water. As he put in the cargo the
nail, of course, sunk down in the water
and Abe thought the river was raising
finely,
Thinking he had good stage he star.
ted out, but was soon aground. The
boat sprung leak, and Abe, thinking if
the water was out the boat would pass
over the shoals, bored hole in the bot
tom.
The boat sunk, and thus ended Abe's
boating experience.
He is in the same fix with regard to his
presidential chances. His old boat is
sinking, and he thinks it is the tide raising
which is to carry him to the white house.
When he finds his boat going up Salt
River, instead Of toward Washington, he
will be as much surprised as he was when
he bored hole in the bottom of his boat,
and found that the water run in instead
of running out.

One of Old Abe Lincoln's Great

Speeches! A,cful times at Springfield.
Illinois!
Abraham Lincoln made speech in Illinois
short time ago, which not only excels all
antecedent oratory, but from the enthusiasm
which it engendered, begot the widest and
most terrific applause that ever greeted a
speaker. We give this important speech ver-
batim, and at length:

those who constitute this vast assembly to see

For the Spirit of Democracy.


EDITOR SPIRIT: Having noticed, arti>
cles, pro aud con in reference to our worthy
friend James r. Morris, deeming it duty
as we'll as privilege when the character
of we'll known citizen is assailed, of tho 50
having personal acquaintance with him
to sustain his character, am anxious in
this instance to cast in my mite.
l have been personally and intimately
acquainted with him from boyhood, and
know that he possesses those qualiica.
tions that are necessary in order to be a
good citizen and an honest man, and am
satisfied that anything that may be offered
in opposition to what have iutimated
or may yet be stated, emanates from the
brain of some designing politician unac-
quainted with him or that they desiguingly
misrepresent. ).
1t is q common remark even by the
opposition that be is an honest politician.
Hence the remark: Jim. Morris said
so." &t,ss ae.e
There can be no question of his capacity
to fill the position he offers for. as his ex.
perience as we'll as natural and acquired
talents plainly exhibit. and if the opposi'
tion are put to the test, they will answer
that they would rather trust him il the
position he offers for, than any opponent
they have q knowledge Of. and the very
fact of his moral frmness and standing
will secure to him not only the support o
the party, but many of his opponents
who will quietly vote for the man. all thu
little, nasty, Aings of "money shaver"ant
other false accusations to the contrar.
notwithstanding.

Mourning for Old John Brown.

There was part of the Black Repub-

day, that the Wing neglected to tell us
about. 1t told US about the procession
two miles along, but it didn't mention
the thirty three young ladies dressed in
black, bearing black banner with the
words on it: In memory of John Brown.
These Black Republicans don't sympa-
thze with old John Brown, the murderer,
horse thief, &C., oh. nol-not they. But
they dress their women in black and par
ade them in public professions ic deep
mourning for poor old John Brown!"
The plain truth is, (and they all lie like
the devil when they deny it.) these Black
Republicans approve of all that John
Brown did, and their demonstration al
