on, there is Justice 10 history He has at
least The idol Of bis dreams--the object OF his
fondest wishes, for which he has laid SO many a
treacherous scheme, for which he has turned so
many somersaulis, for which he has struck so
many blow at the peace OF the Republic, Tor
which he hos SO often prostiiuted himself aud
his followers, Tor which Ne has hugged so many
loager, and nsulCd so many an honest man.
for Which he has made every rnm-shop his bead
quarters and every rufian his friend-he has at
last the nomination for the Presidency put

that an election is impossible TO be voted for,

aoainst him vote for Lincoln, whom be does
peti love To be yeted for aud know that those
who vote for him work not for him but for them
solves TO be dead, and yet living enough TO
he conscious OF death ! Oh, there is justice 10
history Am exaggerating Where is that
MIGHTY leader whose voice once called millions
into the field At the street corners and cross
roads you see him standing like blind, down
fallen Bellisarian-not in virtue not IN poverty
"a bevy OF political harots surrounding him;
begging for the miserable obolus OF a vote /,
beSeipg the Known othings, whom be once
lie once iosulted with his brawling denuncia
tons invoking the spirit Of Henry Clay. whom
he one called black hearted traitor. Oh, but
poor BeIlisarius The party harlots that sur
round him with their clamorous begging cry
steal every vote they receive for him, and put II
into their own pockets.
Where is the bold, powerful agitator whose
voice sounded so detantly on every contested
field Behold him on his sentimental journey,
yaiply trying to fud his mothers home and his
fathers grave, spologizing with squeamish afec-
tatiou for his uncalled-for and indecent appear
ance IN public like one Of the condemned spir-
its you read fin the myths of by-gone ages
restlessly perambulating the world, condemned
to more terrible punishment than Tstuius
who vas tortured by an unearthly thirst, will
grapes and water within his reach-more terri
Die than that of Dannites, who had to pour wa
ter into the leaky cask-ior be is condemed II
deliver that old speech of his over and owe
again. (Applause ard cheers and laughter.
AS often as he arrives at hotel that has bal
cony, as often as bis hssty journey is arrested
by spontaneous gathering. when you hear
snbterranean spectral voice cry out, "my grea
principle of non-intervention is the deai
sauatter sovereign atonng for the evil deeds b
has committed in his bodily existence. (Pro
louged laughter and cheers.) Not long ago b
haunted the railroad crossings and clam bake
of New England then the crossroads of th
South, and the ghostly apparition was last see
in this ueighborhood. (Prolonged laughter AM
cheers) Where is that formidable party tyrsn
whose wishes once we're commands who brok
down sacred compromises with mere stroke {
finger whose very nod made the very heads
those who displeased him fly into the basket
whose very whims were tests of Democracy
Where is be who once, like Macbeth, thougl
himself inYunerable by any man who was
woman born !" inVincible, great,
fill Birnam Wood
Do hic to Dunsane hill,
Should come against him."
Like Macbeth, he has believed the ienis
aTlIat paItered with him a double sense"
and there he stands, tied to the stake Of his uou
ination,
ale cannot fly,
And ear-lile, be must 6ght his course
But as BirBam Wood marched to Dunisan
30 the very fence rails of Illinois are rushiI
down npon him. tremendous laughter al
eheersl and like Macduf, there rises against Il
spirit OF free labor, one whose children be b
murdered and that is champion, not of "
man born" tLanghter) Add now
And damned be he who first cries hold-enough."
TRenewed laughter and cheers. Oh, there
justice in history. Cheers
