and Irom year to year, aud heaId the
party whose pnItrait ;he honorable
Senator from Now Hampshire has St
justly drawn represented as the grea
Union party Of the country, aud
nave csheard the party to which every
ancestor | eyel had since the birth O

SIR, say again, looking ut the photo
graph presented to the Senate by tie
great artist from New Ilampghirc
that aud every other Democrat have
cauoe this day to rejoice that we
belong to that good, noble party, for,
thank God! though its counseI5 can
not now be needed, the history OF 5he
coanIIy having shown that it and il
alone is able to guide the Ship
OF State through the tempesiuous
pillows into havens Of safety, it shall
yet rise, and rejoicing thousands shall
say to it when again it shall launch
forth on the broad ocean:
Sail on, oh! .rty strong and grca.,
Humanity wish all its fears,
With all its hopes of future years,
Is hansing brea,h.eSs on Thy fate
We know what masters laid thy keel,
What worlmEn wrought ;hy ribs Of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rape,
What anvils rung, whnt hammer, beat,
In what forge AMI whist heat
Were shupo' the anchors OF thy hope.
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
IT'S of tho wave and not th9 rock!
'Tis but the lapPing cf the sail,
And not rem. made by the gale.
In spite Of rock and tempest'a roar,
IN spite Of falre lights OF tho shore,
Sail on. nor fear to breast the sea,
Our hearts our hopes are nll with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, cur prayela, our
tears,
Oar hopes triumphant DER our fears,
Arc all wi TIL thee, are all with theo.n

We numbered not five mIIIon ul
people and we numbered only about
fifteen States, but in the btiJf perlOd

million people and to Thirty tour
States. And, sir, let me tell You
that tie history Of the Republican
party is written in the words dlsnem

the Democratic party, Was written in

star to star to our national galaxy.
Am wrong, Dir! That Same old
Democratic p"lly took tho banner Of
your Umou and planted 1t upon the
territory vi Florida, nnd it wae ann,x
ed to the Federal Union. The eame
Democratic party took Ite same sUVJ
Old banner Of the Union and planted
1t on the virgin soil ot. Louisiana, III
empire in iseIi, aud that was anueX-
vu u The national dDmaIn. IeXas, a.
vast empire, WAS added. Westward
all tue star Ul empire took It's way,
aud, true to its great mission OF Ma
tional development and national glU
ry, it took that same noble hag OF the
Union aud planted 1t upon tne Pacific
slole, aud Ca.hornI", Utah, Gnd
New Mexico, are yours ioleYer unless
by your own unwise cOuns1Is you

been added to The Amtrlcnn domain
has been unJer The cOuLsels and luU

succeeded in dispIecing itf and you
