THE NEW PARTY: t
In the present condition of things
there is to be great effort made to get
up new party" and Convention is
called to meet in philadelphia some
time next mouth, L believe. 1t is an
embarras ssing question for me to know,
not as Mr.. Webster said, where am /
to go, but how am to vote? No. it is not
an embarrassing question. That was
slip of the tongue. l shall have no
embarrassment about it. / shall vote
for the Unconditional Union party of
this nation. Immense applause
There may be great deal of radical
ism in 1t; but never saw party in
which there was not radicalism. do
not object to a little radicalism. Radi-
calism is sometimes little too fast, and
some times conservatism is little too
slow. But you have a medium be-
tween the two that will regulate it.
TWO PARTIEs-THE UNION AND THE
s,l REBEL. s
am not to abandon those who agree
with me on this great question of the
restoration of this Union because there
are radicals in the party, and when, If
do not go with them, have to go into
another party, where there is no less
rndlc2llsm and n more obnoxious par
ty. Of all radicalism that which is
most obnoxious to me is the radicalism
of Democracy. lApplause.l And 1
Will vote with any party, do not care
who or what it is; to beat it down and
TO keep il down. [Great applause.1
Much as suffered and much as we all
suffered in this war, 1 would, SO help
me God, ten times over rather 90
through another rebellion than to see
that party restored, and to see the great
war carried on by the United States, the
hundreds OF thousands of lives that
have been lost and the millions and
tens of millions of money that has
been expended, all go for nothing to
restore that party who are alone re-
sPonsible for ali this. Immense APP
Pinuse.l Get up another party
There can be but two parties in this
Union, and one is a loyal party,
and the other is disloyal party.
LGreat applRuse.l He who does not
vote with the loyal party must vote
with the disloyal, and vote TO bring the
again. lAPplause.l l know what the
object ofthe party is, for they attempted
to initiate me into it. "What party do
you propose to raise2" inquired "to
bring up the old Democratic party, the
Rebels and Copperheads into power
again?" "Oh, no; not at all not that"
What do you mean to do2 Out of what
element do youpropose to raise this par
tyr" why, the eold-fashioned Jackson
much-hackneyed phrase of playing the
play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet
lett out, but if ever it was aptly applied
IL is when you propose to raise Demo-
cratic party and leave all the Demo-
cratic party out. And if you leave out
the Rebels of the South and the Cop
perheads of the North, the rotunda of
the Capitol will hold them ali three
times over. 1fyou do not vote with the
loyal party, you are obliged to vote to
bring that disloyal party back into
power, and am opposed to all parties
and to all measures that are calculated
10 bring about such an end.
