The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1863-02-27

and momentous as they ever had. This
organization can do much to bear that re-
sponsibility, and to promote great results
throughout the Union. The condition of
our party organization is lamentable one.
We are now divided into two political or
CARNATIONS Tammany and Mozart. 1t
would not become me to say which of these
prefer. Both have done good service in
the late political campaign. They have
both done good service in the war to put
down this rebellion. The regiments OF
Tammany and Mozart have locked their
shields on many battle fields, as they have
done in many a political campaign. And
while you have heard of their action in
the field, do not remember to have heard
of any republican or Greeley regiment to
have left from any quarter Of the country
to lend their aid in suppressing the rebel
lion. applause, and cries Of "that's SOY
But it is perfectly idle to keep up two Or
CARNATIONS in the city of New York.
(Cheers.) The democrats of this city and
county must unite on single organization
-(applause) -and those party leaders Of
Tammany and Mozart who run those sep
arate machines for private aggrandizement
should have notice that this traffic must be
stopped-that we must have but one single
organization Of democrats, with the union
of the conservative wings who acted with
US In the late campaign. (Applause)
They must never again have separate Or
CARNATIONS. These Tammany and Mozart
organizations should, in my Judgment, be
disbanded-that there should be but one
Committee of Elections appointed by the
whole people, instead Of as now having
nominations made as matter of traffic
among themselves. (Cheers.)
AS for myself, l voted at the election
for the ticket nominated in this way, as it
was most important we should carry the
State by any decent means-that if there
had been five-and-twenty organizations all
should have chance Of being represented
on the ticket. But these organizations
must now be united, and shall be united,
as far as can go. In future will vote
no ticket nominated in the manner of that
at the late election. l say this now, so
that no man expecting to be nominated to
any office can charge me with any per-
sonal hostility to him. will vote for no
man nominated in this way. 1t is your
duty to see to it that the men of Tammany
and Mozart be forced make single organ
ization, and let all unite under one banner
and march triumphantly to victory. There
cannot be two opinions with regard to the
propriety Of this.
One word in conclusion: am not one
of those who despair of the republic. I
say that twenty millions of substantially
10 nd
of whom knows that he and she are living
under the best Government ever devised
upon earth, enjoying prosperity, up to a
little time ago, unbounded-and freedom
which, though locally end partially inter-
rupted, greater than ever known before
unusual happiness, and an extraordinary
position in the world, and we yet only an
infant republic-I say that twenty millions
of a free and enlightened people will not
allow this beneficent Government to per-
ish. (Applause.)
care not what may be the feeling of
interested and Infatuated men. | care not
how desperate the armies in the field may
be, though l understand now that on the
bloodiest battle-tields the men engaged,
in a half hour afterwards, the opposing
forces can hardly be distinguished from
each other. They eat together, talk to-
gether, exchange kindness when they meet
on picket together, and give each other
notice when their next encounter may
take place; and on the next day they re-
new the battle, to go back to the old feel
ing the next night. (Applause.)
Now this is the feeling which binds peo-
pie together, and the present prosperity
we enjoy-the wonderful future before us
the great republic we are holding up to
the admiration of the world-are induce
ments that must compel to settlement of
these difficulties which exist, and to re-
storation of the Union, with return to
our former happiness and prosperity. In
that day, if live, as have always been
ready to do anything that might contribute
to the peace of the country, l shall be ready
to make any sacrifice ofindividual time and
of means to promote peace between the
two different sections of the country and
to restore the Union, determined at the
same time never to submit to any thing
disgraceful to the government, and at the
same time equally determined to advocate
everything, whatever may be the hazard
attending it, that will tend to restore the
Union and tae prosperity of the United
States of America. (Applause.)
