In Northern or a Southern breast whether from the
Atlantic OF Pacific coast from States which divide
from Canada or from those which look upon the
Gulf of Mexico. Why is il, my fellow Democrats,
that that great counsel of the nation did peaceaby,
promptly and finally perform the Office for which 1t
was elected? Because certain gentlemen who design
to prolong the present Administration of the Federal
Government whether il was or not the will OF the
Democr ,tic partv had determined in their minds
10 make the nomination Of Stephen A. Douglas an iui-
possibility by tbrustng him upon a platform upon
which il was kno@n he cOuld not stand. If Mr. Doug
