JUDGE CULYERs SPEECH.
Mr. Culver said he had Just returned from New
Hampshire, where they had grappled with tn,
enemy in one of the hardest and most intelligent.
ly fought campaigns on record. The Republi-
cans Of the Granite State had shown that their
political principles were like the foundations Of
their hills. God and the people were on their
side and they conquered. Their victory was to
the grand campaign what that Of Bennington
was TO the surrender Of Burgoyne. The Scotch
Hghlanders had motto that the side which first
draws blood in a fight viii finally win it. New
Hampshire had drawn the first blood-they saw
Frank Pierce the morning after election hobbling
/ to his office, as if he had been shot-and it pre-
saged q glorious victory for the party
The Democrats tried to avoid the true issues
They talked about the taxes, as if all did not
know who made taxation necessary. The inan-
cial question will all come right when We have
settled the national question on principles Of
everlasting equity
The speaker recalled previous campaigns in
Vermont, going back to the memorable one Of
1871, and to the grand Mass Tippecanoe meeting
in Burlington; and describing how Mr.. Foots
steutorian voice rolled over the immense throng,
as he said The people Of Vermont will come to
order Twelve years ago, he addressed the
Freemen Of Vermont. The issue then was that
Of the freedom or enslavement Of Kansas Four
years later he spoke in Vermont again; the issue
had widened and was then the question Of Free
dom or Slavery for all the territories. Four
years later it the issue Of life death for the
Government. And now again We are in a mo-
mentous struggle and the question how the Sec
ton that stroye to destroy the Republic shall be
reconstructed, swallows up all others The is
sues change, but the sides are the same. Show
a man who apologised for the border rutfans,
who was in favor Of carrying slavery TO the Pa
cifc, who wanted the war for the Union TO prove
a failure, whether he was in the rebel army or
lurking like q snake in the grass at the north.
