minds me of scene that | have been in
formed once occurred in a Methodist love-
feast; and we all know who the Methcdists
are. | think they are among the best peo-
pie in the world. We know that they have
habit of having lass-meetings and love-
feasts, and in my State on one occasion they
met in little school house and held their
class. The leader came along and asked
brother A how he was progressing in spirit
ual lite. Brother A rose and said that he
must confess that he was poor insignificant
creature; that from the crown of his head
to the soles of his feet he was naught but
wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores;
and down he sat. a cruel picture he had
given of himself There was no song sung,
but the leader passed on in mourntul mood
to the next brother and asked him TO give
an account of his spiritual life, and he rose
and said, AS to myself brother Leader
have nothing to say, but | can bear most
willing testimony that everything that broth
er a has said in reference to himself is liter
ally and strictly true. Laughter So,
sir, on this occasion | have nothing to say
myself further than that every word that
brother Hale has said in regard to his party
in my Judgment is literally and strictly true

Now, sir, wish the country to take note
of this. We gave them full warning four
years ago that If the now dominant party
dominant in power but not more numer Gus
in numbers, as would have been shown if
there had been fair expression of the pop
ular will at the late election-obtained the
reins of power, instead Of some sixty, or
seventy, or ninety millions of dollars being
spent in year, the amount would reach
hundreds of millions. And we said more
| mean no personal offence; but the honor
able Senator said that however unpopular it
was he must speak the truth, and am now
simply speaking the truth-we told the pco-
pie then that il this party ever got into pow
er they would steal more in one year from
the public Treasury than any Democratic
Administration had expended during its
continuance. And let me say here that the
thanks of the country are due to distin
guished member Of the other House from
Massachusetts Mr.. Dawes who admitted
the tact that in the first year of this Re
publican Administration more had bccn
stolen from the public treasury than had
been expended during the whole Of Mr..
Buchanan Administration.

The sa@e party shall agaln, sir, in the
providence OF God, It lie has not entirely
torsaken this people, he restored to power,
and It's counsels yet shall be the counsels OF
the nation; for grateful people, after being
instructed by Affections, Illuminated by suf-
terings, will recollect that when that party
assumed the helm Of power we numbered
five million people, and we numbered only
about fifteen States but in the brief period
of sixty years we increased to thirty million
people and to thrty,tour States. And, sir,
let me tell you that the history of the Re
publican party Is written IN the words dis
nlemberment aud destruction, and that. of
the Democratic party, was written in Urion,
in strength, IN the addition OF star to star
to our national galaxy, ,
Am wrong, slrI That same Old Demo-
cratic party took the banner OF your Union
and planted 1t upon the territory of Florida,
and it was annexed to the Federal Union.
