The best way is, when we are on
1.-THE wrong road, to return to the
bright one. Better not lie in agony
on brambles when there are mossy
banks at the same price. This
state Of affairs cannot endure for
ever. Debts and taxation are in
creasing. The country is worse off
to-day than ever before. We must
be- at peace with the South-the
South must be at peace with u.s.
The past has gone. It went ont in
powder smoke-it went out in sa-
bre flashes-it ran red into the
corpse-eovered ground. We want
peace for our children. We want
peace for the millions yet to come
here to1ive under the banner of
liberty. We want to see a feeling
of common interest, of q common
pride of our country, Of a common.
brotherhood of States and people.
War is over. The sword is in the
scabbard. Let us forget the past,
and be noble, high-minded con-
querors as we claim to be. We
have no right to farther ruin his
country-to pile up more debt and
misery for our children to meet
Let us have peace-concede1 what
tis right join with the people and
again be happy. a'"7 "i .9a
And if there be those in power,
in this land of freedom, of liberty
and equality who would strangle
liberty in her cradle. let us rid The
earth of such tyrants before the
beautiful future be blackened for
ever. And let us demand of our
Lawmakers that they legislate for
the people, not for portion there
Of or a section. And if they will
not thus obey their masters, let us
arise and call them to account for
the people are monarchs and the
Legislators are the SERVANTS. g. 'L z
The Republican party is a
party Of theft---of tyrany---of trea-
son---of fanaticism-..of intolerance
of persecution-of oppression
Of taxation-of favoriteism-of
Bond Holders aristocracy-of uni
on mobbers, and murderers, and
adventurers-it is adecayed, a dis
honored, an ignominious, time-ser-
wing party devoid of honesty, lib
erality, generosity, patriotism or
integrity. We ask you, young men
Of the country, to look at the his
tory Of the two parties-to the
country under the rule Of Demo
cracy and Republican and tell us
which party you are for. 90 80 .' %
There is the party of the people.
The party Of those who hate the
people. 81, ','' '''' = ' a. ~
And the party OF the people will
triumph, for the day comes when
they will arise in their might and
make short work of those who
would ruin, impoverish and enslave
them, for such binding free-white
men in this land cannot and, will
not be tolerated or endured. 80 y
