Mr.. Cochrane, on returning thanks, said
that f the duty Of this convention was well
performed in accordance with the views and
wishes Of the people whom it represents, 1t
will have advanced TO position that must
command universal applause, We are here
occupying common ground, that Of the
broadest and most catholic principles of De-
mocracy we are here not for party but for
country. Three years ago, when the very
life Of the nation was threatened all true
patriots abandoned party and rallied to the
support Of the country but the hour is COM
ing - indeed, it has almost arrived - when
the rebellion will have disappeared forever,
and then it is that Free people should re-
view the past, and must erect the necessary
safeguards against the yicissitudes and dan
gers Of the future.
1t is at such a period that you have sa-
sembled and while sustaining with all the
yigor aud strength of great people, actu-
ated solely by love Of country, our armies
in the field, you are about to organize a civ
il party at home to proclaim and maintain
at al hazards, the great and immutable prin
pies for which the soldier is SO valiantly
fighting in the field. Thus, and thus only
can the people of the land realize and en-
joy the legitimate fruits Of the sacrifices
they have made. The rebellion must be
effectually and forever suppressed the I'm
ion must be preserved,
We have not met here to indulge in any
criticisms with which to weaken the Gov
ernent and we are not here to throw any
imp dirnent in the way of the march of our
glorious armies. God forbid No delegate
is here to occupy any position unworthy OF
the broadest patriotism or the breast Of a
true Amerisan citizen.
lie saw before him men who, in days gone
by, entertained essentially different views on
the question of slavery, but events have so
shaped themselves with regard to that and
| other great questions, within the past four
years, that all can now stand upon common
ground in regard to it. The effect Of the
rebellion has been to destroy slavery, and
the last vestige of it it must be wiped away.
He alluded to the meeting Of the Wal
| Democratic Committee. A sympathizer
characterized it as an idle farce; commit
| Zee without a constituency; and assured the
convention that the war Democracy of n.
| Y. are of sterner stuff than to be swayed by
q few peddling politicians.
While we proclaim all men on this conti-
nent free and equal, it is our duty to see
that such assertion is literally true We
must have close and untiring regard for the
civil rights of all, for if private rights are
not respected, public liberty falls Its basis
is private and individual freedom. Its
method is through such rights and we there
fore declare ourselves emphaticaly and une-
quiyocally for private, municipal and pub.
lie liberties. Never upon any plea or occas
ion can the rights of the citizen be suffered
to be invaded unwarrantably and with
out due process Of law, Ii circumstances
require the enforcement of martial law, all
other considerations must succumb to the
necessity. But until then they should not
be, they must not be infringed upon, how
ever specous is the plea Law is the infcx
of order order is Of God, and its sanctity
must be kept inviolate When that is
stricken down, goes with it our institutions
and ALL Intimately connected with these
rights is the freedom of the press, and the
| Administration or man who would aim 1
blow at it is guilty of crime no less than
he who is q traitor to the cause of his coun-
| try.
He alluded to the right of asylum, anc
declared it TO be principle of which every
I American citizen ough to be proud, that thc
refugee from the despotisms Of the Ole
World is welcome to our shores, and is tt
be presumed innocent unNl proved gull
ty, under the laws of the free country
in which he seeks an asylum from oppres-
sion.
/ He spoke at some length in eulogy of the
Monroe doctrine, saying when we have got
! throtgh with the rebellion, as we soon shall
be. we will prove to the world that we have
left will aud vigor enough to preserve the
American continent free from the pol
utipg tread of the myrmidons Of foreign
