Mai. Gen. Rawiins, chief Of Gen. Grauts
staff, made a speech on the night previous to
the election, in which he accorded justice to
the democratic party in relation to the war
He said the south inaugurated the war to
destroy the Union, in the belief that the
democratic party Of the north would not fight
because Of their prejudice against the aboh
tionists party whose proud boast to that
time had been that it had fought all the wars
that had been fought. and acquired all the
territory that had been acquired under our
flag. They did not appreciate the profound
veneration felt by the masses of the demo-
cratic party for the names and teachings OF
their time honored leaders. They did not
know how bright flame the living truths OF
the declaration Jefferson penned had kindled
in their hearts, that waited opportunity to
blaze forth, and light the pathway offreedom
for all men that the constitution and Union
illumined by Madison to their understanding
was to them the fairest fabric of human gov.
eminent the wisdom Of man had ever de
vised, and that death in its defence would be
the doorway to Immortal honor; and that
Andrew Jacksons burning words, "the I'm.
ion shall be preserved still thrilled their
hearts with patriotic pride Nor did they
consider how deep hold upon the affections
of that party Stephen A. Douglas had at.
tanned by his defence of the action of Gen.
Jackson, (which Buchanan had apoligized
for,) as constitutional, upon the ground that
it was necessary to the defence of the Union
and government under it, and that whatever
was necessary to preserve the constitution
and Union was constitutional nor how he
had electrified their progressive ideas and
made himself leader, by his DECLARATION ii
the Oregon controversy with Great Britain
that the country should be put at once in Il
state of preparation, SO that if war should re
suit from the assertion of our Just rights, We
might drive Great Britain and the last yes
tige of royal authority from the continent o.
