ground Of Mount Vernon.
Ii we of the Union party surrounded BY
all these bright and glorious hopes, faltsr,
we are the most recresnt OF ell mankind,
and the curses of ali time vii! cling upon
us like the shirt Of Nessus. We have
fair chance 10 redeem the land. (Crics Of

Republican party, week from now, will

President upon The rock of squsiter sove-

(Applause.) Storm shall roge, Blu. it will
not be upon our house. The waters of Goa
fict shall divide, upon the right hand and
the left, and we will pass through the Red
Sea, unhurt and unframed.
On my journey here saw some of the
delegates coming from Charleston, and de-
clare to you never saw a more broken
down Responding set. (Laughier.) They
were tired. WORKOUT, sleepy, disheartened,
and, may say, without figure Of speech
unwashed. Great laughter. | said to
them, Gentlemen, in the name Of Heaven.
wha, is the matter with you now?" Oh"
says one man, "Our national Democratic
part, is broken up and the lamentations Of
the whole world will attend IT," s.Oh,
yes" said l, Il will shed tears at tie re-
suit" Laughter. They locked 10 me
just like the broken columns OF Napolenn's
army on their return from the conflict be-
fore the walls of Moscow.
Here and there caught one, and l asked
him to TELL me what occurred down there.
One said II have not slept wink for four
nights" (Laughtef.) | said 70 one whom
thought treated me little scurvily. "a
little good brandy would cheer you.''-
NO." said he, "burnt brandy would not
save. me-" Laughter.) And, upon my
word, expect that every one of them will
die very soon, and we shall have the mourn
full pain of reading their obituaries in the
newspapers. The truth is however, they
have had just as Iruoh as they can bear
We have all heard of the camel having his
back SO heavily laden tina. one single fcalh-
er more would break it. So it is with the
Democratic party. II is broken down to
such condition that it never can rally. 1t
never will be party again, and vii! tell
you why. It. ou whip il once it dissolves
like snow IN the ditch, for it is only held
together bp the cohesive power of plumber.
Laughter and applause.)
i Now, gentlemen, what will you DO with
the Republican party? have no hard feel
ing 10 indulge in. know great many oI
them. Many of them are right clever. and
many OF them are quite the reverse -
Laughter.) But l can never approve Of

, against my blood because it is against my
, instinct-because they are sectional aud noi
national. Applause. l declare 10 you,

moi even the immortal Clay and Webster.
if they were here again in all their power
and in all their magnificent intellect, il they
were TO head sectional party. Ir;hey did

them.
Let me talk about that for a moment
Do you believe majority Of the people Of
the United States are in favor Of these sec
tionai extremes? Do you believe that they
want to break down this Union? Do you
believe the majority OF The people at the
North are in favor of the everlasting cry
abou. disunlon? | beg pardon for using
that word here-I do not intend TO use ii a.
gain. Do you believe they were in favor
either Of dissolving this Union or breaking
down the right that Massachusetts has TO
an inheritance at Yorktown and the Battle
of Gui!ford?--of The right that we have TO
claim kindred in the Bankers Hill. We
are one people; and "whom Godhas joined
! together let no man putasuHder.,"
In my opinion there is a vast majority OF
the people of United States who are row
affilating with us and our opinions. II ev-
cry man in America would come on, boldly
and vote his sentImentr and feelings Of his
heart, and record his name at the balot-box
with his genuine real sentiments, john Bell
would be elected by an overwhelming major
ity. Applause The vast majority of
our people are neither democratic nor Re.
publican. The vast majority Of the North
srs not Republicans, and my friend the
President Of this Convention, knows that
fact well. Let me tell him 1.-THE President
that his course has excited the admiration
Of the South. [Applause. A vast major
lily of the people OF The United States are
favor of the Union, and if they vote their
sentiment on this occasion, Bell will be e.
lect.d. Why should not free men vote for
their own sentiments? case not whether
there is much excitement in tho contest OF
not. 1t is the sound, national, conserva-
tive sentiments Of America. which though
it may be
| "Still as the breeze,
! Is as dreadful as the storm"
You will see il recorded at the polls. We
will triumph If every man here and every
man in America will record his vote accor-
ding TO that opinion. Then we will be TIL
umphanily acknowledgements for no
purpose Of the spoils-for no desire of gain
Of the loaves and fishes. Laughter. l.
