SPEECH OF Mr.. DE BOW.
MIR De Bow opened his remarks with some CON-
plimentary illusions to the District Of Columbia,
where he had spent Of the best wears Of bis
life, and expressed bis conviction that the people
were sound In their devotion to the Union under
the Constitution, and, though noninally without
with and aid that section from which she sprung,
when the reign Of tyranny and oppression should
be, II ever, inaug urated. -
Hethen proceeded toreview the course Of parties
FOR the last few months, and especially denounced
Mr.. Douglas for his rule or-rnin policy, and for
his declarations at Norfolk In regard to the ccer
cion OF q sovereign State. He complimented John
Bell az statesman of eminently high and pure
character but did not regard his anteeedents best
Kor the South, or believe that he possessed the
necessary to control the ship OF State in this
hour Of peril-though he should support him in
preference to any other Of the candidates except
MIR. Breckinridge, whose star he thought had not
yet waned, dark though the hour was.

Referring to the charge Of disunion, which had
been brought against the friends Of Mr. Breck kim
ridge, Mr. De Bow said:
The wing Of the democracy with which he
acted was insolently denounced az the party of
disunion. 1t il weak cause which requires such
fimsy protection 1t Is the party of the Consti-
tuition. The democratic party without the South
ern States is the play of hamlet with the part Of
Hamlet left out! Like the blind man In history
the 'qHdtter sorsrsigs thinks all the world have
lost their sight, but that his eyes are perfect
Like the lone juror, who lately, in one Of our
states. held out against verdict; he comes into
court and says:-"May 1t please your Honor IL It
not for these eleven obst nate rascals that
have put with me, we could readily agree upon a
verdict" but let tell these people that In any
event, however disastrous, 1t will not be that we
love the Union less but honor, principle liberty
and our inalieDable rights more,
