Anson Burlingams,

The following Is the close Of Hon An
son Burlingame's speech at the recent
Wide Awake Jubilee in Boston
Republicans, we are coming into power
let Us assume the port and dignity of men
who are about to assume the responsible
ties of practical government Let Us, in
this noble hour, forget our resentments ;
let us try. if we can, nov the election is
over, 10 persuade those we could not per-
suade before the election, TO turn from the
error Of their ways. (Cries Of good }
10 the hurly-burly Of that time they clos
ed their ears against Us, bat now they
Hill hear. They will hear, they must.
The Bell and Everett men cannot listen
any longer TO those orators who boasted
that they would carry Massachusetts,
Daughter who boasted they were going
to carry Pennsylvania, that Lincoln was
sure to be defeated they must listen
rather to the voice Of that distinguished
Senator who preceded me, who, before
the election, described what would hap
pen precisely as It has happened. (Ap-
plause.) Let Us, fellow Republicans, from
our standpoint Of mercy and magnanim-
ity, be kind TO these madmen.
We couldn't cure them Of their insanity
before the election let Us try to DO it
now what our words would not, events
practically have done.
And here, in this connection. let me
say that ] trust in the stormy time. II il
shall be n stormy time that is coming on
II DO trust we shall in the Congress Of
the United States, have the vote Of my
/ distinguished opponent for freedom. 4
voice" You will. > For Il he has d
touch Of nature left IN him, II he has on,
/ drop of manly Massachusetts, blood conrs
ing through bis veins, he must, standing
! IN the presence Of these miserable mena
ces Of Carolina and Alabama, give th'
strength Of bis vote and Of his word, an,
even Of lis silence, TO tie side Of Lincoli
and bis administration. Enthusiastic up
plause and cries Of good, = believt
yes | am charitable enough to believi
that when, a, Washington, he shai
stand once more in the presence Of tina
dominating seetionalisfn, whose insolenc
and andaeily has increased in iniensit
since bis time, he sill, BY necessity Of hi
Massachusetts nature, take his side wit
bis home and bis kindred think tha
well Of our common human nature.
And here let me promise, after th
election, what bad the honor to promis
before the election, 10 that noble city 1
, Chelsea, Nben said that Il be should b
elected, aud be should be persuaded /
, Jean toward freedom be should gis

and the rights Of the district, would
