| SPEECH OF W. II. FRY.
| The President then introduced Mr.. Fay, who was
received with three rousiug cheers. He said DR.
johnson once remarked that the man who was good at
apologies was good az nothing else. He was troubled
with an affect of the chest-not the money chest
but the pec'oral department. and he wished 10 spare
his sIeopth. He said they had arrived at that extra
ordinary state of things when the Presidential caDd
dates took the stump. Douglas had been here, and
be II ough it strange that man should come from
Vi'gina-from the place where they cut down a
Republican liberty ole-frOm where be bad viii
fed The Republicans, to talk about liberty.
Doug'as reminded him 'of the bumbug Demosthenes,
who ov ned slaves and talked about liberty. Que
would supr ose Dongliss father was haDgDau, BE-
cause be IDouglss) was always talking about hang
ing. He thought if he hung seeessonists he would
have put the rope iobr son first for he had rec
DINNER dec secession. Douglas hsd been twenty years
III Congress yet he had always voted ag nst the Pro-
teciive TsIi yet be ~asDow in favor OF one In May
last in The United Stares Senate, when the vote
tsk.p on he Tariff bill he absent writing speech,
in Uhih he told the Senate that Sqnatter Sovereignty
carried Slavery deeree-aDd half higher than 1t was
be fore. He thought ought 10 be foil Of hope in this
coD-est. Douglas would get no Northern State, no
southern State, and no Western State. Applause.
He lroph' fied s'iDctIy that Douglas would not get
single Slae in The Union. He sad the Lincoln vote in
tbis city in November, would sstonish the Re-
pub leans; be would net be surprised if he exceeded
IS co., The vote for Opdyke let them know what
hey could depend upon under ordinary circumstances,
and be thor ght that Juld be doubled in November.
The Old Jrove1b says, slow but sure. The Wide
Awakes lave upset that now-se now say, sw If but
sure II ok 100 years for The Christian religion to
tIaye from Antioch TO IL ndon-it now goes there in
few min ues by telegraph tLanghterl. It took
Rome 800 years TO grow as much as NewYork has in
10. Tie Wid,-Awakts represented great idea. The
Republican party was party Of young men-the
party of hope, act on, and triumph. Applausel
He sid they had been living too long wi h0ut CON
scieIee. He looked through all the legal decisions of
history and he found none 30 internal az that Of Judge
Teney that gToes had rights that white men were
bound TO rspect He liked the decision because it
to"s away the oveIgown reverence for Judges. There
was no poor lost oaURhter of SHAME that he aid
not respect more than the man who made
that decision. Bnt be, fancy would learn
that tbeIe supremacy OF the Suoreme Court and
that was the people. tApplause He hoped 10 See a
party that would take hold of the army, navy,
diplomacy, and post otee, and reduce them 70 their
smallest possible fiZs lie hoped 10 ray of genius
in the Government for be had not for the last
sixty years The people bad gone up and the Govera
n ent bad gene down. They had shown by the 9TH
Rega ent that voubtee force could be well dscip
liz ed standing army. The Republican party
should reduce the expenses Of the GJvernment from
500 eco 600 TO $l0,0O0,0O0. He thought the Post
Office ought to be put 10 private hands There should
be government IN which the people should do all
they could for themselves and leave rs little posi-
be for the National Government. When the Repub-
can party got in power they could reduce the expense
of the government.
After another song by the Gee Climb, the chairman
introduced Mr. HEGENAS who said that the history of
the world showed that if the power Of Government
placed in The hands of man. it tended to des.
potism. And il PoU dangerous in the hands of
one man, IL was still more so 10 the hands of corrupt
r. Ms Mt
that ever stained the annals Of any country, des
tined 10 60 ont Of power. lie believed that the party
was once liberty party, bat il has ceased to be SUCH
The best evidence that tie party was going TO die was
its looking around for foreign aid. Mr.. H. crit Used
Douglas and his principles severely, and showed the
Inconsistency Of his record.
