Oh, but, poor Bellisarius The party harlots that surround him with their clamorous begging cry, steal every vote they receive for him, and put it into their own pockets. -....
 Where is the bold, powerful agitator, whose voice sounded so de6antly on every contested field Behold him on his senti- mental journey, vainly trying to find his mothers home and his fathers grave, apolo- gizing with squeamish affectation for his un- called-for and indecent appearance in public, like one of the condemned spirits you read of in the myths of by-gone ages, restlessly perambulating the world, condemned to a more terrible punishment than Tantalus, who was tortured by an unearthly thirst, with grapes and water within his reach-more terrible than that of Dannites, who had to pour water into a leaky cask-for he is condemned to deliver that old speech of his over aud over again. Applause and cheers and laughter. As often as he arrives at a hotel that has balcony, as often as his nasty journey is arrested by spontaneous gathering, when you hear 8 subterranean spectral voice cry out "my great principal of non-intervention"-that is the dead squat ter sovereign atoning for the evil deeds he committed in his bodily existence. Pro longed laughter and cheers. Not long ago, he hauuted the railroad crossings and clam-bakes of New England then the cross roads of the South, and the ghastly appari- tion was last seen in this neighborhood. Prolonged laughter and cheers. Where is that formidable party tyrant whose wish es once were commands who broke down sacred compromises with mere stroke of his finger whose very nod made the heads of those who displeased him fly into the basket; whose very whims were tests of Democracy Where is he who once, like Macbeth, thought himself inyulnerable by any man "who was of woman born ;" in- vincible, great, ..
 -"Till Birnham Wood Do hie to Dunsinane hill,
 Should come against him." Like Macbeth, he has believed the fends
 "That paltered with him in double sense," and there he stands, tied to the stake of hiA 
 "He cannot fly,
 And bear-like he must fight his course."
 But as Birnam Wood marched to Dunsi- nane, so the very fence rails of Illinois are rushing down upon him, Tremendous laugh ter, and cheers, and like Macduff, there rises against the spirit of free labor, one whose children he has murdered, and that is a champion "not of woman boru." Laugh ter. And now
 con Macduff; And damned be he who first cries hold-enough." Renewed laughter and cheers. Oh, there is justice in history. [Cheers.
 Sir, only those whose hearts are unmoved by great moral impulses can fail to see that we are in the midst of great moral revo- lution. They cannot prevent final victory 1 firmly believe they cannot retard it. No, they are aiding it in spite of themselves for their general rottenness demonstrates it's Douglas himself is powerfully its progress He has taught the people of America 8 great, sublime lesson.
 think it was Senator Pugh who once said that if Douglas were struck down by the South, he would take his bleeding corpse and show it to the youth of the North-West as an example of Southern gratitude. Let that modern Mark Antony come u with his Caesar, (pardon me, it is neither Caesar dead nor Mark Antony living, let him bring in his bleeding corpse, and l would suggest the funeral oration. Let him say to the youth of the American Republic "This is " Douglas. Look at him. For every wound " the South inflicted upon him, he has struck " a blow at the liberties of his countrymen. Let him serve as warning example that " a man may be traitor to liberty, and yet " not become favorite of the slave power. " Mark" him. By false Popular Sovereign |" ty he tried to elevate himself true Pop ' ular Sovereignty strikes him down." Loud applause
 If the youth of America profit by this lesson, then it may be said that even Doug las has done some service to his country. Laughter Then peace be with him-his mission is fulfilled
 But now we have to fulfil ours False Popular Sovereignty is down. Freemen, it is for you to see to it, that true Popular Sovereignty triumph
 Citizens of New-Y York, when after the ad- journment of the Convention which nomina- ted that great and good man, Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, I addressed the people of my State again for the first time. l said to them "Let Wisconsin stretch '' her hand across the great lakes and grasp " the hand of New York. Let it be known that New York and Wisconsin, who stood together to the last for Seward in the |" Convention, will stand first and foremost |" in the battle for Lincoln and Liberty" Wisconsin will redeem her pledge on the 9th of November. Men of New York, we look to you for response. Prolonged cheer ing.]
