failure of the Government, and the dominance
of slavery, which he said had resulted in -

sEWARD's ROCHESTER SPEECH AND LINcoLN's
RECORD. '-aE q
Mr. Seward closes that speech in hope-hope
grounded On this, that the Republican party
has risen. ''It is party of one idea; an idea
that fills and expands all generous souls; the
idea of equality; the equality ef all men before
human tribunals, as they are all equal before
the divine tribunal and laws ntz siusT
That is his rainbow of hope. Il is noble
idea-equality before the law--the mark which
an old Greek declared two thousand years ago
distinguished freedom from bsfbarism. Mark
it. and let us question Mr.. Lincoln about it.
Do you believn, Mr.. Abraham Lineolp, that
the negro is your political and social equal, or
ought 10 be? Not bit of it. 80
Do you think he should sit on jpries p
Never. '' II
Do you think he should vote? Certainly
Should he be considered a citizen? I tell
you frankly, no. as
Do you think that when the Declaration Of
independence says "all men are created equal '
it intends the political equality of blocks and
whites? No, s;r.
If this s'idea that fills all generous minds
be equality, surely Mr.. Lincoln's mind is as
yet empty. If this is the OILY hope of our
being able to achieve what our fathers failed
to do-mount those Arab horses, Mr. Seward,
and fly to the desert. But you can't fly with
me, as the song goes; FIRST, because, if we are
defeated, mean to die in the last ditch Zap
plauEe;) apd SECONDLY, notwithstanding the
emptiness Of Mr.. sLincoln's mind, think we
to live in.
LINCOLN, SEWARD, JOHN BRowN, GARRISON.
Mr. LINCOLN believes a negro may walk where
he wishes; eat what he earns, read what he can
and associate with any other who is exactly of
the same shade of black he is. This is all he
can grant. Well, on the other side is Mr..
Seward. He believes the negro should sit on
iuries, vote, be eligible to offce-that's ALL
So much he thinks he can grant without hurt
ing the Union.
Now raise your eyes up! In the blue sky
above, you will see Mr.. Garrison and John
Brown! (P. olonged cheering They believe
the negro has the same right to fight that a
white man has-the same claim on to fight
for him. and as for the consequences to the
Union who cares? Liberty first and Union af-
terwards, is their motto (Cheers) Liberty
first aud as the Scotch say, "Let them take
care who come ahind" t3 #
The Chicago Convention selected Linccln
for their standard bearer. Enough gain for
once "FiTst the blade, then the ear, then
the full corn in the ear" DIR. Winship began
with dumbbell of ten pounds; after four years
he used two hundred in each hand. The ele-
plants when crossing river, send the small

Mr. Seward! ''Wait little longer" WIS
knows whether that L3beraior, whose printing z

White house in 1879.
Mr.. PHILLIPS quoted from CHARLES o.
CoNNoR an eloquent sentence, to the effect
that If slavery Ii unjust, JOHN Brown was n
martyr Mr.. Phillips said:
VIRGINIA TO BEG FOR BROWNS ASHES.
That is the opinion of Charles O'Connor,
the head of the New York Bar, the new-aedg
ed orator of Democracy, and the counsel for
Virginia in the Lennon case. ..
l expect to live to hear that sentence quo
ted in 1873, under the very dome of the Capt.
toll, by some Senator anxious for Presden
tial nomination! (A?plause.) Do you doubt
it? Why, it is not impossible that Virg inia
herself, clathed and in her right mind, may yet
beg of New York the dust of John Brown for
some mausoleum at Richmond, as repentant
Florence robed in sack kcloth, begged of Raven
ma the dust of that outlawed Dante, whom a
century before she ordered to be burnt alive.

Mny tell you the reasons of the faith that

with Goizot. that 'sit is a gross delusion to
believe in the sovereign power of political
