unless you will consent to make negroe
your social and political equals? All, yol
say that your party has not declared TO
negro suffrage in its platform. Very true
but did your platform OF last year declare il
favor of negro suffrage2 No, and yet, tn,
election once carried every Republican
member of Congress from Ohio, and th,
Republican members frcm twenty fou
States, by twO-thirds vote, carry bill
through the so-called House of Representa-
tives, to confer suffrage on the negroes O
the District of Columbia, and the negroe,
OF the territories. And now, my country
men, believing as | do, in the patriotism
and intelligence of the great body of the
American people, irrespective of party,
appeal to you to follow the patriotic lead oil
the patriotic citizens of Washington, and
Oregon and Nebraska, to rise above party
and aid in saving our institutions, by hurl,
ing the usurpers from power. And why,
Ohioans, will you not exclaim, All hail
Washington! All hail, Oregon All hail
Nebraska! All hail to the young but glor,
ious trio--our frontier sisters of the mighty
Westl Cheers.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
But you say that you don't like to act
with the Democratic party--you don't like
the name of Democrat Then, for your
country sake, for your children sake, fol
your own sake, call yourelf what you will,
but vote and act with those who seek to
save our country from bankruptcy-our in.
stitutions from total ruin.
But why not, without evasion, act with
the Democratic party? During its admin.
istration of the affairs of our Government,
during period of more than sixty years,
ours was the happest and most prosperous
land on earth. We were triumphant in
two foreign wars, and the treason Of Burr,
the attempted instruction of Shay, and the
threatened notification of Mr.. Calhoun,
were all conquered by simply adhearing to
the Constitution, without shedding one
drop of blood do not say this boastfully,
but in the yindication Of history; for the
Democratic party requires no vim ication;
its record is our country's history. Look
around you-how few are those in this vast
asSemblagc who were not represented
during the late terrible conflict by father,
brother or son? And yet Frakln county
gives more than two thousand Democratic
majority; and as it was with this. so was it
with every other county in Ohio. But
| you say, it nj ght be better to organize a
new party. But why a new party? In
point of numbers, the Democracy were
never so strong as at the present moment,
nor so,well organized. Our name describes
| the character of our free institutions, and
while other parties have risen, fourisht d
| for britf space, and then died and passed
away, the Democratic party has continued
| to live, because its prncpleS are those OF
eternal justice because Its lie is the HE or
the Constitution, aud while 1t exists the
