The Democracy and the Conservative els
cment of the country have done wcll-more
than well. They have won q glorious and
powerful victory But their task IS rot vet
done. They must not yet break ranks and

But, on II contrary, he found it used not

say the spirit Of Jackson rides in the
political whirIwind and revolution that is
passjng over the North, ard ii is striving
in the hearts and minds Of the people.
That spirit is leading iEcm on to victory, as
it did Of Old. History tells us that about
the twelfth century, when the Moors and
Sraniards we're striving tor the mastery Of
Spain, that the Moors had possession o.
about three tou.ths oi the county. Rodyi
90 the Uid then took command Of the
Spanish forces, and owing to his persona!
prowess and wise eeneral5hip, the NICors
were defeated in fifty battles, driven FROM
The country and forced to make reaco
But, at length, the Cid grew old and died,
and he was duly ombalmed, and, clad N his
armor, was laid in his tomb, The Moors,
hearing Of his death, again invaded Spain,
and again oveman the country. The dis
hcartcned Spaniards retreated from strong~
hold to stronghold; and at length, in thcir
dispair, they took the Cid from his tomb
tied hIm on bis old war horse, placed his
battle axe in lis hand, set him in front of
their battali0ns, and once more advanced
against the Infdels. ghe Noors drawing
near and brholding the dreaded face and |
familiar porte OF 'heir old enemy, broke and |
fed in confusion from the field. The Cid f.
having won fifty battles in his life time, |
gained another for his country after his |
death. So the old hero Of New Orleans, |
after having led us to many political vic |
tories in his life time, his spirit is lcalng |
IT, 70 another after his death. The Demo |
cracy have not forgotten his teachings, and |
they will pay off this bt, and sponge FROM !
the civil list the myriad Of tax ~gatherer |
that are Swarn,lnc over tho land like an
army of locusts, eating up the substance OF |
the people, and exhausting the vitality Of the |
country. They will abolish these national |
banks, which claim the monopoiizing Priv
ilege of furnishing currency for tre country
upon which they receive double usuyy.
But important MS are the questions Of |
negro suffrage, and Of debt, taxation and |
finance, the question of the reconstruction |
Of the Southern States is, in my Judgment,
one of still greater importance. Fer in il |
is not only involved questions Of personal |
liberty and private property, but also Of |
the preservation Of the Constitution and |
the perpatuity of the Federal Union. The
Radical party blazed upon It's banner in |
the late contest their odious plans of re-
construction. The Democracy took up that
challenge and blazed upon its fog the wise
and charitable principles of reStoyation.- !
On that issue they went to the country, aud ,
the verdict was rendered for restoration,
Restoration! And why not restoration? |
The war was commenced for restoration. -
Oar soldiers volunteered and fought through |
its whole bloody length fer restoration. :
Congress, in 1861, resolved that the war
was prosecuted for restoration. Tho people |
came forward and poured ont their treas.
ure for restoration. But the restoration
that the radicals gave them was
