conservative republicans 10 call that meeting
at Faneuil Hall, and the majority OF thot con-
vention, | may say, consisted of the purest
and best democrats in the state, We have
forced, we have coaXed, we have admonished
the mild and conservative republicans to come
in and join as; and now that they have done
it, shall we refuse to take any notice of them
at allf Why, gentlemen, you may work here
from now till dooms-day, aud you cannot do
anything against the overwhelming majority
of the republican partyj the wings, united
with the democrats cannot do anything. How,
then, can anything be accomplished? Why,
by the wings and democrats uniting and then
appealing to the good sense of moderate re-
publicans to join them. That is the only way
to do any thing"
And, then, for the further assurance of some
of his reluctant fellow democrats, who hest
tated about receiving the accession of even
such respectable society as that of Faneuil
Hall under any false pretenses daughter and
applause), and pointing out to them how far
the thing when done will extend, like those
trees which drop branch to the ground, from
which springs another tree, until the democrat
cy of Massachusetts, so long in minority,
may possess the shade and fruit of power.
(Applause.9 Yhe senator proceeds =
Mr.. president, as sure us there is a sun in
lllc lGdNGllS, IL we recommend 10 the demo-
cratic party to unite with the peoples party,
the moderate republicans, who have taken an
active and manly part in that movement, lcW
be IN the democratic party merit year." And
still further to assure all doubling democrats
that the resolutions of Faneuil Hall, were
as good as the men of Faneuil Hall,
throwing little light On the origin and his
tory of those resolutions, this oracular gen.
tleman announces that she heard Judge Abb
bolt say that he Scrutinized the Fancuil Hall
resolutions carefully and he did not want any
better democratic resolutions; :" and that he
heard General Whitney say they were all
the democracy he wished for" And now
what Gen. Whitney's democracy is, touching
the president, in this period of peril appointed
to our country, and what Gen. Whtneys de-
mocracy proposes to do to help along the adj
ministration, appears from his own remarks
in this same democratic convention, when he
said: 'Could we (the democrats) better sus-
tain the president than by surrounding him
with able, judicious, candid men.-with men
of more than one idea,-with men who can
comprehend the relations of the states with
each other?"
Why, bless the day in which we live, these
men are better friends to the president than
he is to himself, cloud and continuous ap-
plause,) and are going to give him a better
cabinet; and for aught we know the palmy
days of the republic are about to come back
upon us, when for Seward we shall have Cush-
ing-for Chase, Cobb-for Stanton, Floyd
daughter and continued applauSe.) But the
friendship of these gentlemen for the presi-
dent does not stop here. They are not only
about to bless him with a good cabinet, but
they are going to almost kill him with kind
ness. Says the general-''No more patriotic
duty ~ in this hour of peril M than to send
to the federal councils men who are able by
of the government by keeping 1t acithin ats L.
gitimate md proper limits" This is the
highest style OF friendship known to our de-
generate humanity it is guardianship, it is
custody And when the consummati0n of
this friendship shall have reached its cltmac-
te1'tc, and cabinet and congress be in the
hands of such friends, poor Lincoln may wake
up some morning to find himself looking out
through the embrasures of Fort Warren or
Lafayette.
''Sir," says the general, 'the democratic
party proposes to do this thing; and if it be
necessary Gas Mr.. Tucker thinks it may beg
the democratic party is prepared to lay aside
technicalities :" ''if we can seize upon con-
sentative aid anywhere, let us avail ourselves
of that aid :" ''the resurrection of the demo-.
cratic party has begun" So said Judge Wells.
So said the others. And then with resolu-
ton dividing the American people into two
classes, abolitionists and secessionists, they
adjourned.
