history where people of eight millions, unhed anu

He SAID that the last Session OF Congress nau pe'

measures of Oonfscaton and Emancipation, they

Just "a much as JEFF DAVIS 4 Co. had tand suppose
deserved TO share the traitors doom with Southern

This rather cool for the season. IN consideration
that the said j. b. Haskin is the first man 10 the
town who did bring one Of said "hberated sidres
10 the North to compete Vah pAte la6or and to take
the tread Out Of the pgOr mhite mans mouth"
Ii il very evident that, like Wicklil'e and Vallan

slructon thronghthe engineering OF the Democratic
party, Of which he told his auditory tnat ne was
steadast adherent that he en6eavored 10 follow the
Goc;r,res Of Jefferson, Jackson, and Martin Van
Buren,. Ii be did follow the course and practices
that they adopted when the country was III Imminent

did last evening" by appealing to the worst passions
and prejudces of caste and color merely ceterlng
many from ensting into they believe, an Adolf
lion war to send the negroes to The North 10 starve
out tbe poor white lsbOrer. Does he forget that
jefferson WAS the great exponent OF the doctrine
that all created politically free and equal
that jackson called upon bis "eolored felow-citi'
zens OF New Orleans to rally to the defense Of their

Decocratic ccurse OF the late Martin Van Buren,
was in 1913, wien he declared that with his con-
arnt not another foot OF Slave Territory should be
annexed to this Republics" These were measures
that under existing circumstance, the gentleman
from Fordham should no. ignore. Instead he vents
die wrath against non-combataDts, "Gentlenls oil

lie ssid that the negroes woro not desirous Of ob.

have bad regiments larned and equipped as the Law

old Democratic ranks along side Of Sam. Cox, Ben.
