challenges the admiration Of the world ana

4 is remarkable that the men who now seek
4 to degrade and disfranchise the Southern
| peOple are those who, IN the hour Of they
nations peril, were safely housed at nome,
safe from the dangers of the battle and the
| perils incident to the life Of soldier. Inc
| soldiers who followed the Federal cqlprS at
| Shiloh, at Antietam, at Gettysburgh, at
\ Chancellorsvile-th men who campatgned
| with Mcclellan and Grant, who followed
| the erratic Sherman, who SHARED In the
| marches and fights of Sheridan--the men
| who encountered the flank movements OF
| the dashing Stuart and jackson, who paus-
ed as tfi6yl pushed upon tile bristling en-
| trenchments of Lee, and who felt the merry
/ shock of the legions of Hood, have high
admiration of the valor OF the Southern
soldier. They have faced each other and
4 to admit that true courage is spontaneous
1 North aud South. The banner OF the Con-
| federacylis toldedup; the Southern soldier,
i having appealed to the arbitrament OF war,
4 and being defeated, accepts the situation.
| Toward these defeated foes the true soldier
\ Is always nagpan NOUS. ~ ,Wpuld that spehrl
4 could be said of those men who, now since
j the armies are disbanded, have control OF
i the questions lately in dispute. But, slrs,

! be again turned against American breasts;
! that the valor, the genius and prowess OF
i our countrymen shall never be directed
| against each other, rbut tpat In defense OF
| the National Flag. In Vindication OF Amer
I lean honor, those who lately meteach other
u upon the field as foes, will meet In the
4 ranksp las friends aud iemhtate each
other in such deeds as VIII eclipse all lor-
mer achievements and shed new lustre up
on a nation so great in material resources @
4 and $50 fun of-trained legions that itmayii
defy the world.
Sirs, there is a song, the strains of which
upon many battlefield has given inspira-
I tion to our soldiers, and which. wherever
Il heard, aWakes American enthusiasm. 1t
is the grand old anthem OF the "Star
Spangled Banner" We, OF the Democratic
party, recognize the old banner as the one
to which we have ever beenIdevoted. May
the stars now stricken of 1t, soon again
shine radiant and bright In the constella-
the banner, as it floats in the Air as the ems
bem of nation recognizing the equality
Of all the States that compose the Union.
In conclusion, notice at the table gen.
