are the speech of R. B. RHErr at the
ratificationg meeting in
Charleston, July 9th, and of CHARLES SUM
SER, at the Lincoln ratification meeting at
Cooper Institute, n. Y, JuH llth They
are too lengthy for insertion in our col
umns, but the democratic National com
mittee ought to have million of them
printed side By side, for grasuitous circula-
ton throughout the country. In the days
of our republican fathers" both speak
ers would have been arrested, tried. and
probably hung as traitors; but in these
days they are received only as the honest,
outspoken opponents of the real objects
and intentions of the political organiza-
tons to which they belong. Both preach
rank disunion and treason, and are hearth
ly backed up and applauded by the lead
ers of the parties to which they respect
lively belong.
To give cor readers Il definite concep-
ton of the real on,l,o.: and object OF the
two extreme factions now opposed to the
democracy-the secessionists Of the South,
and the Republicans of the North, We
give an extract from the speech Of the re-
preventative man of each party.
