darkeys wont associate with tho white
trash. The Southern aristoeFay loathe
everything with the mark OF freedom On it,
so does the Copperhead. A slave HIM
self he stands foflh, not to elevate man
kind, but to drag all down to his own inta-
NOUS level. But ave insist that all men are
equal and have certain inallenable rights.
That was our fathers belief, and all that
we do or try to do is to uphold the old flag
and enforce the government of cur tathers
We are fighting for our government, they
against the inslienable rights of man.

But I see stuck up all over town, and
even nailed on this very platform, n certain
document put forth by Mr.. Davis aud my
self / am told thatit was posted by Dem
ocrats. p Well, Tn glad TO sec it. Thank
God that they'll believe part of the truth.

witness now, aud it is an old principle of
law thst they cannot dispute my testimony.
i l[Cneers and laughter. +. If they believe
what said about Lincoln let them believe
what / am abSut to say OF Mcclellan?
Isn't that fair2 shall NOT deceive you in
either case--thaPs not my vocation 1
never suppress the truth because it NAV in
jure me TO tell it. i hope the Democrats
will le-.I UIt sJ tl.st document among
the people Its all right. Their course is
manly. 1t is mich more honorable than
that of some eowardly sneaks of my own
party, who are slanderink me behind my
back. That course was eoWardly-th of
the Democrats is manly. L viii give them
credit for ailthey deserve, for God knows [
can afIord it. [Laughter.] believe that the
American people are not like owl, and
can bear the light. i am unlike many
petty politicians of our party, who come
out only to laud their candidate, aud don't
dare TO criticize his acts. If our liberties
are lost, such sycophants will be responsi-
bic for it.. Buff any man takes a position
opposed to my ideas of right, L meet him
openly.
Let US see how this document came to be
issued. The President vetoed an act
WHICH Congress had passed.. He had
perfect constitutional right to do so But
he went further, and issued proclamation
appealing to the people in support Of his
position. In doing so he cast an impu-
tatioR on Mr. Davis and myself who
we're in a MEASURE instrumental in prepar-
ing the bill. BE put forward his side of
tho question, and whoever does that l
shall meet him. Be he President, King or
Peasant, shall put forth my side too
lApplause. l am ashamed tc
say my party upbraided me
because i WAS unwilling to admit that our |
President was infallible and could do no |
wrong. l, for one, am not afraid to place |
the truth before the people. What would |
you think of Judge on the bench, who |
should rule out part of the evidence, lest |
the truth should mislead the jury? I'LL
opposed the President, l did so because l |
thought him wrong, and Tor rather Mr.. |
