learned by this time that the old epithet Of

Democrats out Of the parry has, become
common. Thousands are leaving it, and ii
the Chicago Times aud Springfield Register
are going to read Them out formally, they
will have no room TO print anything but the
list Of notices Of democratic departures, un-
til the day Of election. I-have not forgotten
how, only . short time ago, that noble states
man and orator, the greatest Of Democrats,
Stephen A. Douglas, Cheers, was read out
Of the party by this same set Of hgots and
enemies to the country. You all remember
how, when he battled the Leeompton Con
|stitution-a measure Of these secessionists,
and the 7illainy ofsvill.inies, because he
believed 1t to be avery great wrong the
men who are now active rebels. or rebel
sympathizers, read him out Of the Demo

lived long enough to earn anadsecure place
in the hearts Of all true and loyal men,
That noble example. for one. am willing
to emulate, and I would to God that all
Democrats were IS willing. 1''@ T'71s~' r
The thnnder-bolt Of tie war has fallen at
last: Abraham Lincoln has put his foot
down now. loud applause I thought
he was long time putting one foot down,
but he has put both down now, and he will
keep them down, and tho people and the
army will come up and sustain him. The
mighty echoes Of this thunder BOLT have
startled the ears of al the people, and loyal
men everywhere have found strength and
encouragement in his great act. For yea year
and I half the President has been fighting
this rebellion, and he has found It last tl,at
|'t is IN i,npossibi'fty to preserve the Union
and slavery together. CGreat chee.s.] fie
has given them still three months to pre-
serve slavery by laying down their arms and
submitting to the Constitution. and IT, "

their allegisncs. hope hs viii turn loose

of war. Tremendous app:su,e. s'aa s'asas1s.
