ocratlo Farty took the banner of your
Union and planted il upon the territory
Of Florida, aud ii was annexed 10 the
Federal Union. That same Democratic
party took the same good old banner Of
Union and lanted it on the virgin soil of
Louisiana, an empire in itself and that was
annexed to the national domain. Texas,
o vast empire, was added. Westward

and New MEXICO arc yours forever, un-
lees by your own unwise counsels you de-
priye yourselves of them. Every foot of
national territory that has ever been added

it came into power it is just what the

reply to the honorable Senator from New
Hampshire, coniniug myself entirely to
those matters of investigation which when
entered upon by tue committee of the Sem

Delaware, for personally these are our
relations that the Democratic party by
