Where are your Daniel S. Dickinson,
your Caleb Cushiugs, your Pierces and
Buffers, the old treasury rats who have
been all their lives in office, who always
scent the wind, and know how TO march |
with bee line over Hill and dale, prai
RE and forest, to the public crib ?
Lqughter.l All for Breckinridge-no-
body for Douglas but your greenhorns
and guIgeons Laughter. Douglas
ism will die cut after this campaign and
there will be no more of it forever
("Good, good" His followers will
have to so somewhere else. What are
they to do then Douglas will be dead,
buried and gone beneath the power of
political rcsurre ciion forever. applause.
Already they are administering upon his
efIects-his charts and papers, for he
has no other ef,ec!s left. What are these
Douglas men fighting for?
They have no earthly chance now be-
fore the people, nor il the election goes
into the House. to elect Stephen-none
whatever. The only object of these men,
who are crying out for Douglas and Pop
ular Sovereignty, is in the chance to Sc
cure some miserable, contemplate local
olfice---a place in Congress, or the post
of sheriff, or clerk OF the county, or con-
stable, though il cost the liberty of the
people, or peril The alety of the Repub-
lie. 1t is that they may pick up a few
crums that Ill from the public table. 1t
is disgraceful business, my Douglas
friend. Quit it, my dear sir, and take
to feeding pigs, or some other honest vo-
cation. Bat if you shouli, by some
possibility, throw the election into the
House, then where does it go? The
Senate and House are already elected,
and we know where each man stands.
The House cannot elect, and it must be
sent TO the Senate, when the Presidency
will go to 10 t Lane, (Renewed laugh
mark.
Ter. J He will be PreSident-a man who,
in conjunction with Breckenridge, is the
candidate Of avowed disunionsls and
traitors, the leader of men whose great
object is to destroy the government of
the United Sales. That will be another
fruit of this wonderful Democracy.
(Applause.)
The present position is we'll illustrated by
remark made by an old Hoosier friend Of

laughter and cheers. They expect to carry
the election TO the Senate, and there they will
all strike hands again as band of brothers,
sell out the liberties Of the people and take
possession of the gov ernment once more. Their
conduct reminds Inc Of thc plan adopted 10y a
young lawyer who came out West some years
ago. He had just married new and beautl-
full bride. Under the lre-empton law, then
none but heads 81 families could take up a
quarter section Of 100 acres of land. Now,
