We'll, now, "Who 90 proper TO guide thl
dehtlnies Of the nation 40 the Democratic
party7" say the people. This shows Mhhtfht
meaning Of the people 10 how true thes in-
atlncts OF the people are. The people being
aware Of the whole history Of the country, and
seeing who IL was that saved the country from
former dspgers-iheir Government being nov
exposed TO greater dangers than ever exposed
to all the dangers of dissolution Of the Union,
and the disregard Of the rights Of citzsns-r
seeing all this, they very naturally look out for
what 10 to save them, and they say II is The old
Democratic party that must steef the ship safe
into the haven, notwithstanding the rocks and
breakers. We have brought the old vessel
through nearly three-quarters OF a century; not
plank was cracked; not nail was loose; not
piece of sail as big as your hand was gone
when We turned over the Government TO Lin
coin! IL was as sound and secure as when IL
came from the hands Of its makers 1t had

this Ia hushed up by Mr.. Lincoln. Although he
came of with such minority vote; although
the millions paid In taxes would all be thrown
into the hands Of the Abolltionists, yet as long
90 Mr. Lincoln conducted this war for the restors-
tion Of the Union-although we cay he was O
criminal for not preventing IL; although We
knew all the power was taken into the hands OF
the free SIates-we knew all this, and yet our
boys volunteered; the war went on. But he did
not live up to his promise. He turned his back
upon negotiation; he refused to listen to The
voice Of fifteen States of this Union, upon q
question involving the most sacred rights OF
those States. Even after he had called for the
troops and got them; after he had induced
hnndreds of thousands Of volunteers to enlist,
when he had got them 10 the army be changed
the whole platform, and puts out an Abolition
proclamation. And then--because he had seen
that the public mind would condemn everything
like Abolition; he knew he would be condemn
cd by the people; be knew 1t from the Republt'

old Democratic party, and he knew 1t from hil
