and hopeless, We said 10 the slave il

relation, 10 the slave in his chains. We
lift You up, We viii give you the attri
butes Of man, we will make your cause
ours; we viii Danish this world-ac
cursed institution from this country
You remember how we were denounc
ed; we were branded as negro wor.
shippers; we had inveotiye heaped apor
us; we had walls Of wrath poured out
upon our beads. But we knew we werC
engaged in noble cause; we knew
God would bless us, for we read in the
sacred record that the path he hath cho.
sen is to break every yoke, and let The
oppressed go free; we went on winning
victory after victory; We banished man,
acle and shackle, and gave the blacks
all over this land their freedom; We
banished that stain from our national
escutchoon, so that to-day, from where
the sun rises on rocky born Maine &c
where II sets beneath the Pacific waves
there is not one man who dares to cal
himself master or call another mar
slave
No thanks TO him tGov. Seymour,
for this glorious Contamination. Ne
thanks to his followers. We ala IL il
spite Of thesr most vigorous ouposr
tion. In Congress, at the polls, before
the people, we fought on, inspired b,
liberty, and we triumphed to winning
chat noble victory that gave salvation
to the Union as it gave emancipation
TO the slave. Where are our deiam
ers Where arc the men hat denoun
ced you and vilifed You for daring t
strike at slavery? Where are the mel
with mouths filed with curses for yol
for daring to free the bondmen Of I'll,
land ? Not one OF them dares to lisp
a word against what you did You ar,
endorsed by all parties, by all men OF
this continent for your noble work
All my friends, there is somethin.
worth living for in being in party hk
this. There is something worth dyin,
for TO be in party like this. There i
something worth heritage to you
children to be in q party like this. Yol
and / and all of us are passing away
A few more years at least and we shaI
all be under the clods of the valley
Thank God, what we have done shaI
live in history, as age after age roll
away; and your children, children
children, down to the latest generation
will rise up and call you blessed, be
cause you dared to meet this storm
invective and stand up against all th
denunciatioDs Of this man and his fol
lowers, to destroy slavery in the land
and make it, in fact, hereafter, what j
had been in poetry before, the land q
the free and the home of the brave.
And again, Mr.. Colfax says:
We are going TO make it in this coun
try SO that any man can go whereve

his thoughts, act his thoughts, live sue,
life as he sees fit to live, so that he i

make American citizenship, and W

his enemies, and he shall not be weary
he shall stand with thousand agains
