Let us look at that. That is the last
count | find. Mr.. Breckenridge, the papers
tell us, has said, yes sir, John has said that
there is trouble brewing. What is the mat
Ter, John? You and the Democratic party
have had possession of the Government for
nearly three-quarters of a century; you
have put up and you have put down; you
have had control of the domestic and for
eign policy of the country, you have been
omnipotent in States and in the Union, in
the Senate and in Congress, you have had
the executive and the judicial department
of the government and the country is sick,
is it? Why what is the matter9 Who
has been doctoring itG Who has caused
this breaking up of bonds of Union of
which we have heard this day! l am sad,
you are sad, we are all sad. 1t is indeed,
a sorry sight to see people in time of
peace and prosperity dragged to the verge
of dissolution, and the curious part of it is,
that if one of you had a wife or daughter,
whom you love, as you ought, you would
not act as you do now, with this Union,
that you boast of SO much.
God knows, as bad man as l am thought
to Re and as Kentuckians are thought to be

great internal course of health, and the
doctor brings her to bed, the roses fade
from her check, the bright eye becomes
dull, the full and round form becomes ema-
ciated and say, "Why Dr., the woman is
dying, in the name of God what are you
going to do?" "Well," says he, "the woman
is dying, am sorry, but l am going to
yindicate myself in history" Great God,
are we American people, the free people
of the nation to die, and if the Union is
dissolved, he intends to vindicate the Dem
ocratic party in history.

DISSOLUTION.
Let us look little at that thing of disso
luton. A body would suppose with Cana
da far removed, that when it has becom,
dangerous for me to speak where there ar,
millions of white men to a few hundre,
thousand slaves, that slave property ha,
become unsafe. Dissolve the Union anC
move the line to the north of the Ohio, anC
would you have additional security? Doe
any man suppose-is any man mad enough
to suppose that if these people, once bounC
together by a common brotherhood of suffer
ing, by association in churches, by com
mon christianity, by the ties of education
cannot remain in peace in the Union, tha
they would remain in peace out of it9 Doc
Mr.. Breckinridge or Gov. Mr"ofin suppos
such a case as that9
You have your answer when you see Go,
Wise, who in the last Presidential race
talked of seizing upon the arsenal an
marching to Washington to take possessio
of the archieves, and preventing the inar
guration of Republican President, sayin
now, if there is any fighting to be done,
is to be done in the Union, and not out q
it; when you see your Democratic orator
talking round and becoming the defender
of the Union. Don't you all begin to SO
the folly Of this thingS Don't you all SCI
what all men OF common sense must Sc,
that outside Of the Union there lies less s,
curity for slave propertyl Certainly yo
do! No body supposes thatthere would
anything other than the way Mr.. Caldwe
said to-day. Do you suppose you woul
have peacei No, sir, it would be war
to the knife-and the knife TO the hilt.-
: That is what would be the result. Whel
is your security for your slave property then
Would you eight millions of white men el
