precarious existence. We must remember
that long, long centuries ago--in a stateeo Of
society in one sense rude, but when the
many virtues OF our ancestorsgave them q
historic spyendor that VIC can oRiy~ reflect
il pIoyidentially happened that he rights Of
property aud the righs Of person were indis
solubly blended in one immortal maxim
that was laid, for all time, q the basisoi
the civibzation OF our race. Whatever may
happen in other civilizations, Of, in other
climes, liberty and property for hus must
flourish or perish together. (Great Cheer

THE WARFARE UPON THOUGHT AND oPINIo ON,

, My froihds, il is time that the warfare up
on opiHion and throught and speech, should
cease. II is time We had ascertained that
cur national difficulties can never be. cured
without the action ofthe people, It's time
We had exploded tho hiiecy that patriotism
and party are Incompatible in any cbnceiFa
bic circumstances Of our country. You, at
any rate, let me hope, reject this dogma as a
Ideusion; for in all the gloom ofthe present.
in all the dark uncertainties Of the future, l
put my hopes in the great Democracy Of the
Union. Great applause Il see nothing
else to which we can look, zee you, it is
true, occasionally distracted by the tac ics
Of your opponents, occasionally disturbed by
The hdiscrelion Of friends. But | also see
you animated by patriotism which / ful

in spite OF all that men may say of3ous com-
manGs my respect and confidence. (Ap-
