ROCKVILLE, Md FRIDAY MORNING,

think the Democracy can save the country
only by nominating men for Office who
misrepresent the principles of Demo-
cracy. There are others who think the
best way is, to deny the truth, and run
our candidates upon platform OF lies
Sir, one man with a hypocrite's face is
bad enough, but a whole party with such
lying visage is horrid sight. (Great
applause A whole party composed of
nobody but strikers and bummers for
office, is a sight to make the gods laugh.
Oaughter.) OF all sights, that is the
most sorrowful, to see Democratic thieves
attempting to steal Black Republican
thunder. Laughtcr.) Is this wretch
/ a maniac, who stains himself with the
blood of mwaerers, and goes out asking
honest men to vote for him ? He is a
IT, companion of the demagogues who
put on Black Republican Hrery and go
forth to solicit Democratic votes. A
hundred years of this kind of campaign
ing, would show that there always will
be class of honest Democrats who can
never be caught in such an infamous
surrender Of their principles. Jefersonson
Democracy is the foundation of the gov
eminent of the United States. To
abandon those principles is to overthrow
the government. There is no other
name given under heaven whereby our
country can be saved, but that of the
grand principle Of government laid down
by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was
not only the father Of the Declaration of
Independence--he was really the father
Of the government, and the founder Of
the Democratic party. Had the Demo
cratic party, glorying in its own record,
stood firmly upon its own foundations,
this terrible conflict could never have
come. And until the Democratic party
returns to its own foundations, it is
powerless for any patriotic work. AS n
tender to this Black Republican revou-
ton, what a contemplate thing it is !!
cloud applause.) 1t bears the same
relation to the Black Republican party
that mlato does TO a negro. All our
political campaigns here in the North
are simply races between mulatto and
negro, and the negro has proved him
self man of the best bottom Ioud
laughtcr) This is according to nature,
because the mulatto is a mongret, possess
ing the strength Of neither of the original
types. When the race opens again
between the aehite man and the negro
we shall be proud of some better results.
Our mulatto politicians, plunging about
in infinite froth-oceans of loyalty, y
make terrible speeches against such
things as Negro Bureau and Negro
Rights Bills, but, sir, the real point to
be aimed at. is the principle on which
all these atrocities are based Leave the
roots of the upas tree in the ground,
and you throw clubs at its branches in
vain. Never, never can you rebuild the
splendid edifce Of democratic liberty
upon these Black Republican founda-
tious The walls are sunk in the blood
of frcemen While they stand, they
rest upon the liberties Of nation You
must dig them up, and throw them out.
You must have neither respect nor
mercy for the doubly abhorred conspira-
tors Of Congress. Respect for such men
is weakness, and mercy is a crime J
Nail traitori upon their forehead, and
set the populace to crying traitor when
ever they dare to appear in the public
ways, and you will very soon bring their
rule to an end. Learn lesson from the
fate of the beautiful republics Of Italy
in the fifteenth centnry--they fell, not
from the strength of the monster Cesar
Borgia, but from the timidity and hest
tation Of the leaders Of tho people. The
people, if well led, would have made n
sudden end Of the whole abhorred race
Of Borgias. All, beautiful Venice
lovely Florence! happy Bologna! proud
Romagna! where now are all your
glories +? God preserve my country from
such fall God give pluck and honor
and manhood to this people The
pestilent majority in Congress is another
family of Borgias May the vengeance
of God and man fall upon them
tremendous applause.)
