lOM. remember, loo, WITH gratclul eHOllaHs,
low quickly you responded TO the call, and how
willy you echoed back the sound when the No
vembe. election came. You voted then as you
viii vote nov, and az you win always vote when
j question Ia presented to yon in simple form be-
sween the beauties Of freedom and the horrors
II slavery. You come from the mountains and
valleys of old New England; you come from New
York. for see my own county represented right
here before me in ! shining face that has loved
freedom from the day he who wears II drew his
irst BREATH and he will love it with his last --
You come from regions Of country where tour
education tends to make yon prefer freedom; you
come from that portion of our land where the
heart IL educated as well as the head, and where
humanity in all its phases, commands large
amount Of attention. sas fa sa#

afflicted. The sound in health need no physi-

that are sick, and TO them have come to minis-

soul, that there is frightful difference between
the shadow and the substance If Dcmocracy.--

Come, feed little while on the substance of the

done; for l have kept my finger on the Demo-

began to beat unnaturally. Applause. Ihayc
seen all New England speak now Of Demo

in resolutions drawn by Franklin Pierce himself,

ably opposed to the extension Of slavery into
Territories that we're free. l have seen New
York do It, with Edwin Coswell ina convention.
I have seen your own resolutions, declaring, as
the Democratic sentiment Of this State, that you
are opposed to the extension Of slavery into free
Territories
Were YOU honest them Did you mean what
you said exactlys Or, did you mean to cheat
If you were honest then, are you honest now p.
Or, do you mean to cheat now? Laughter. T.
A summersanlting, a turning heels over head, q
changing faces 90 quick-you have brought down
upon you what you most dread-public scrutiny.
When was here in 1856, the cry s-"Hur-
rah for Buchanan" But yesterday his word
would have stood and did stand against the world.
Now lies he there. Pointing downwards /
yous Laughter Why don't you hurrah for
Buchanan! and the glory Of his Democratic adj
ministration = Because its sodor is not sweet in
the nostrils Of an enlightened and intelligent ma
ton. And, therefore, you must hurrah for some
other chief And now hear "Hurrah for Doug
as,'--not very loud. VI ts@a u. s, s.a4
We heard, too, in 1856, in Pennsylvania. and
saw handbills posted, Buchanan and free Kan

may as well 60 home; this region Of the world IS
all right, for Buchanan is man who has not had
circulation Of red blood TO his extremeties
since 1876" [LaughtenI But the trouble
was, my fellOw-citzcns-it was cheat. You
knew better, and 90 did /. You held up "Bu-
chanan and free Kansas" because you knew that
the great bleeding heart of this nation was in ia
vor of Free Kansas. You meant to cheat when
you held out that false token, and you did cheat
am not going to choose honeyed words. You
did cheat; and your sins have found you out
Therefore there must be some change Of tactics.
Kansas is free; but not because Buchanan and his
cohorts have not done everything in Gods world
TO make is slave State. Kansas is free; no
thanks to any of you. You have stood back with
a FACILITATING heart and your ears bent forward
for the intelligence to come upon the wings of
the lightning, that Kansas, with his constitution
was admitted, and then the glory of this admins
tration would have been achieved; then from yon
heights, and in the center Of your State, you
would have heard the beauties ofthe administra-
ton extolled and then Douglas would not have
been heard OF, and Buchanan would have been
President as long ash pulse beat at his wrists.
Laughter. sfe
A new cheat is attempted under the guise Of
Squatter Sovereignty. Good Democrats, won't
you tell me what it means? Won't some good
man that hurrahs for Douglas (when his family
don't hear him) tell me what Sqnatter Sovereign
ty means? guess not. You don't know what
it means-nor either--nor Mr.. Douglas-and
that is worse yet. He don't know whatit means,
except one thing. He knows full well it means
cheat. He knows he has got to move in dark
and mysterious ways, or the people will find him
out; and he has thrown over him this gauzy vail
Of Squatter Sovereignty, and he struts about with
it as proud as the peacock with its tail. Laugh
