The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1860-04-19

where the modern Democracy stand on
this protective question. l tell you they
are in favor of system which sends a.
broad all your gold from California, and
when the countryis drained of specie, the
inevitable result is that you feel there is
political panic, and what does Mr.. Lo-
co Foco do then! He says it is all ow-
ing to the Banks. (Lauehtcr.) Can the
Banks coin money! Do the Banks make
gold Drain the country Of specie to
send to the workshops in Europe, and
then prevent if you can momentary rev.
olution 1t is impossible. I believe that
that great mind and great heart that in
augurated the doctrine of protection to
American Industry say that the great
heart and mind of Henry Clay (snthusi-
astic applause) lives and breathes
now, and that that inscription emblasoned
on our flag in letters of living light
"home and liberty, home and protection,
home happiness, home prosperity, against
the interests of foreign countries''-is dear
to every ue-hearted man.
The old Wing party were opposed to
muzzlng the press, they we're opposed to
the extension ofslavery in the Territories.
Ouc word on this subject as 60 along.
There is no heart in that crowd that would
dare to say he would advocate the mod
ern doctrine of the Dem ocratic party,
which seeks to force slavery into the Ter
ritories against the wishes of the people.
| refer to the odious Lecompton policy Of
this Administrstion-to the damnable
doctrine of the Democracy, that the Con-
stitution carries the slave 10 his sbackles
into the Territories, and l trust the liber-
ality of this age will rebuke it, Men will
say this is not practical question. Cast
your eyes over the millions of square miles
of fertile territory and tell me, you labor
ing man, is there no day at which you ex.
pect to 60 unto those Western wilds, and
and there establish home for yourself,
among free and intelligent people !! Is
there no man here, who thanks God that
the day will come when be can purchase
a home in the West, and enjoy the bless
ings of free labor and free schools. (Thun-
dering applause.
Men of Philadelphia, enrol your names
under the black flag, strike down your in
terests by advocating the doctrine of free
trade, 60 in for the niger and forget the
white man, subscribe to those secession
and disunion sentiments that have found
their advocates, and then look your fellow
N an in the face, if ycu dare Mono but
slave would ever advocate such doc.
trine. They say that We of the People s
party are for the niger. am for the
white mani am for bespaogling the land
with the evidences of civilizaton--I am
for free labor. In the last two or three
months We have sat in that House of Rep
resentatives and heard from thirty to for
ty members of the Democratic party de
clare that if you go to the polls and ex-
ercise the right of freenen, and vote for a
Republican candidate and Peoples can
date they will dissolve the Union of these
States. They would insugurate reign
of terror, while the great hearts of the
Revolution said that men should have a
right to exercise their opinions at the bal
lot-box without fear, favor, or affection.
1t is magnificent sight to see freeman
in the fear of God and his conscience, 80
to the polls like man and vote for just
whoever he pleases; and il there is any
man in this vast assemblsge who will not
vote for the nominee of the Peoples or
Republican party, becsuse some of the
Democrats say to him, "if you do | will
dissolve the Union," that man who votes
in fear, who grows weak in the knees Ito
use popular term) at the dismal pros
pect before him, is slave, and unfit to
fight the battle. Men of Philadelphia
county, ask you to stand by the glori.
Gus Union of the country. Let US 60
