You have to look at these things In the light
of philosophy and wisdom. You may not see
the Providenceof God working to suit you, but
the surest wayis to take things % they are, and
notSaF upon the DEGREES Of Divine Providence;
leave that for the blaaphemous Abolitlonists -
Half OF them don't believe In God. Take
the Beechers. the Phillipses. the Garrisons -
They haye,the crude notions of pretenders and
adventurers. They get On ides that thing
ought to be 80, and when they get that into
their mind, the Word of God itsei { can't change
IL; It must be 90. These Abolitionists tell YOU
that By this Abolition policy they intend to re-
store the Union, and that 10 the way alone In
which Il can be done. When Congress met In
1861, the CRY went out oil over the land, We must
have no party. Before II had been every kind
OF party; q. Temperance party, a Maine-laW
party, ihe Peoples party, Fusion party, q Re.
publican party, and at last they got to be of no
party at all. Like man who is taken mp for
stesling, and gives his name as John Brown,
alias Smith, alas Tompkins, We know he must
be o great thief, for On honest man does not
change his name The old Democratio marty
has the same name and same pripoibles.
andhas had for sixty or seventy years. But
this Republican party has acted go badly, and
got its name into such disrepute, that every
year OF 30 ii has to get new name. They call
% Butternuts and Copperheads. The differ
enoe 10 just this: You might call them auy
name you please, and, however good, they
would make 1t go odious by their bad conduct in
year, that nobody would join them, You NAV
call us any amount of. bad names, but by our
good conduct We are acceptable to all mankird.
Laughter aud cheers. Did you ever hear of
man leaving the Democratic pArty7 know
of no man having left the Democratic party
trying them by their own Democracy. AK the
man himself, and. he. will never admit that he
has left the Democratic party. i. is 60 good
that the men who have left Ii lie about it, and
say they ore Democrats still. New, If 1t ia 90
good that men who have gone out still claim to
be Democrats, ! never would have left II.
Take John Brough; he has not left the Demo.
cratic party; nor Tod; and see that this Abo
litionlst Bingham addressed his hearers as
"FelloW- Democrats" and all of them, l have
no doubt, were as bitter Abolitonists az he va 3.
The name Is 40 good that IL 10 like toe, devil
after being kicked ont Of heaven, claiming to
be an angel atill. So Bingham, talking to his
"FelloW-Democrats," was about as proper as
the devil addressing Gabriel and other angels,
as his comrades still. These renegades and
traitors wear the cloak Of Democracy to deceive
!he people. You remember -Esop's fable of
the jackass getting into the lions skin, and
going roaming about and alarming all the beasts
Of the field, The lions skin was used like the
stolen name Of Democracy; but when the fools
open their mouths you know it is not the lion.
TLoud lsughter.l On the other hand, you see
great many men leave the Republican party;
but did you ever see one, when he got out, claim
that he Was still Republican, He thanks
God that he Ia clear of the whole thing, name
and all: IN g..
But, my fellow-citizsns, to return to some
iacss. When lhis subtle, false party met In
Washington, In The extra session Of Congress,
there were only about half dozen OF us who
reiuse1 to bow down to the altar of Basl.
There were Pendleton and VallsndiRham, and
lev Others Of us who stood faithful. And
those Abolitionists, you ought 10 have seen
them, how they came round u.s., ""Voorhees," J"
they would say, 'this is 70 time for party.
Let's stand up for our country, without respect
to party" lsaid, ~ am ready; are you2" Fer

find that in tie extra session, and In the long
session, no Democrat brought toward one single
measure Of party politics on our side Of the
House. Bus what did they do7 The first thing
they did, In the namo Of no party, Was to abol
ish slavery In all the territories of the United
States. Said /, "hold on, that is the Chicago
platform exactly; that is your party, and agans.
my party" Douglas lived eli bis lite dsnounc-
ing that party. The next thing was TO tax this
people about Two millions, to bring up the boot
blacks and chambsrmaids of Washington City,
and turn them free, only to make them worse
off than ever; and this was done In the name
of no party. Said l., II there is no party, ID ia
high time there was one, strong one, to put
