Hon. JoHS CREsswELL, ia
Now, fellow citizens, let US try no rash ex-
periments with the people Of the South
Let us ret eXasperate but conciliate. Let US
not adopt such course rs will Justify rebellion
in their eyes, CT that of their descendants-
Furthermore, let US insist that no preference
hereafter be shown TO the negro. If be is az
good as the white man let hin tafe the same
chances How is it now A Freednian's Bu-
reau is erected especially for the care Of negroes,
and homes, farms, schools and the like furnish
ed them at our expense. Nay, New England
in her love for them sends school teachers, mon
ey, &c, while she sells the poor crippled SOL
der who happens to become township charge
to the lowest bidder. Why do these men a.
dopt these negroes as their brethren? They
lcGla her roteS. Horace Greely says emanci-
patton will add 500, 900 votes to tie Republic
an party and II. Winter Davis, another high
says: 1T is votes, numbers, not in
tellgenca, we want" There can be no doubt
that this party Is pledged to negro equality.
They have adopted it wherever they have had
power. Their conventions endorse It. Lead
ing men in their party and their principal pa
crush that party they will fasten it not only up
on the South, but upon us Chief Justice
Chase quotes Tacitus, and breaches equality to
these freedmen, while Covode, Summer and the
lesser lights make it an eternal text
In view, then, fellow citizens, of The pefn-
cious tendencies of the doctrines of the oppo-
sition, so subversive Of government and OF the
objects for which this war was begun, what is
our duty! In the first place we must be true
to the grand principle Of liberty, must never
forget what we are, what we have been, and
what is before US. BY our example in l776
we revived liberty throughout the earth 1t as
cended the Andes, awakened France, and taught
Italy and Greece the lessons of theIrbetter days.
1t inspired Koscusko, La Fayette, Emmett,
Kossuth and Bolivar. May their example not
be lost upon US. But what, you ask, if our
liberties be threatened | point to history.
When King John attempted to destroy British
liberty, the grim barons on June Is, 1915, as
sem5led at Runnymede and extorted -Udgaa
Charta, and compelled their King to give them
the Tower and City of London as security; and
as often as ;heir liberties were invaded would
they re-enact their great charter-had it read
twice year TO the people, and Illuminated ex-
against all such as disobeyed
it. Sec 46 said, ''.luif Uendemlus, nuLi ne
gQbimus aut diferemus, rectum vsL jastniam."
''We viii sell to no man, we will not deny or
delay to any man, right or justice" Again,
when the Stuarts so pressed prerogative as to
claim the right of trying citizens by Courts Of
High Commission and the Star Chamber, our
sturdy ancestors in their vengeance brought the
head of Charles lst to the block; and when
they secured the HaJeas Corpas under his sue
cessUr, they made it crime objectionable by
the king, TO diSobey it. Later still, our own
fathers, for causes set out in that Indictment
the Declaration of Independence-cast OH their
and appealed to the God of battles.
So long as we have the ballot we ask for no
other mode to redress our grievances, but if that
be taken from US we will profit by the lesson Of
history.
Fellow-citizcns, in conclusion, let me appeal
to you to support the Democratic party-the
only national one now in existence. 1t had
its origin with the government, and will only
die when that government is no more. Our
country is still on the verge of ruin through
fanatical doctrines, and let it be our mission to
preserve and transmit to our posterity the Ia
bors of our ancestors. We are but in our
youth. The Roman Empire lived 500 years
before its decline. Athens enjoyed its liberties
twelve times as long as we have, aud England
has existed over six centuries since Magma Char
ta Soldiers, let us renew the oaths taken
three years ago, and swear to support only the
Constitution and the laws, and oppose any
thing to the contrary.
We fought for the Union because we believed
that ''What God had joined together no man
should put asunder," and we have now enter
