The feeble old tool, Buchanan, was pow
erless to prevent collision, but the people
rallied as one man TO the support OF the
Government, and said to Mr.. Lincoln, owe
will support you" Wherever You fnd q
simon pure Democrat, he was either In the
rebel army or sympathlzed with them. It
is now claimed that the Republican party, at
the beginning Of the war, did not desire to
abolish slavery; but, Of his own knowledge,
y had been decreed In that party at that
time that slavery should die. [Applause.1
The first act was the abolition OF slavery In
the District Of Columbia; then slavery was
abolished In the Territories; then the procla-
nation came out from the White Houso that
all men should be free, and called upon col
ored men to help, which they did with
alacrity.
Then tho great Jehovah gave victory to
our arms. tApplause.l The colored troops
fought as brave as ever men fought, and the
Republican party then decreed that they
should enjoy all the privileges enjoyed by the
white race. The Democratic party opposed
every effort TO raise the colored men 70 com
plete manhood. When bill was introduced
In Congress to give the colored man The right
OF suffrage the Democratic party rushed TO
the City Council and had bill passed pro-
yiding for a special election FIVE days hfter
the subject. But there was a uentiem sp wSo
had lived here n LONG tjme ana who tn..,
tricks of the Democratic marty, who wro,s'"
letter that this was A mere trick. and urUe5
the people not to vote on that occasion.
Every Democratic member Of the Board OF
Common Council voted O censure on Mr..
(now Mayor Bowen. But the noble courage
and honesty Of Mr.. Bowen has outlived that
