TlauShter1 in short. every enemy OF the

Tremendous applause.l They know
theirs,-they seek theirs. LLauGhterr
and applause.l Why, gentlemen, Inas
is all there is of It. In the beginning
we used to hear great deal said about
this. being the controversy between tne
North and the South. IheArebelS very
early announced that the contest was
between the North and the South our
friends across the water said the same
thing. and talked about the model re-
nnhiSc heinp overthrown, and the bulb
BE of republican liberty bursting.
That never was the contest. The con-
troversy was, from the beginning,
between the government of the
United States of America and ITS
friends on the one hand, and IT'S
enemies on the other. lGreat az
plause.1 As Douglas expressed 1t In
The beginning, there were but TWO
parties Patriots and Traitors. He
who was not for his government was
AGAINST il. whether he lived IN South
Carolina, or Ohio. lApplause.I Keep
that steadily in mind, LOOKING at the
men that are ROW arraElns themselves s,sL.Is
Are they moi in most instances precise
Iy the same men they WERE sowing the
seeds OF mischief in the beginning?
It4Yes sirI'r) Some of the old leaders,
some of the resurrected class OF pub
lie teachers arguing precisely Inc same
doctrines, editing the same papers. vi
course no general rule is u unlTer-
sal rtIle. There Will be some exceptions.
You NAV perchance lind one on the
other side who has been in the Union
army. but if YOU will watch him right
close. YOU can generally tell how he
got there. Possibly ft may happen ne
did not get out ofthe army SO redttabiy,
[laughter,l-ma have oeen IN me
Quartermaster's department and his
accounts did not square; tlaughter.l or
it may be, when in the hum of battle
from some Unconstitutional intirmtty, he
was found a little further from the
front than the regulations prescribe.
[Great laughter and applause.l And SO
we will ind in every instance, l speak
of the general proposition, and assert
it without fear of successful contradlc=
ton that in this community in which
have been less than ten hours, that
there are practically now as there have
been from the beginning, but two par
ties. =F3- ~ 49, = -
more allow me to urge upon you 10
bear in mind, forget not for a single in
slant the great question that is before
YOU, the division that is found in your
and see. to it TINT you
stand on the right side.
Ladies, in conclusion thank you
again for the patient kindness with
which you have listened toa discussion
which I am sure in many parts OF IT
must have been anything but interest,"
ing or attractive to you.
