floor of the House. about three weeks since
speculation has been rife in this State
to what would be his future stand IN reia

has ever been associated. The Labor he
formers have claimed him as parlcula
champion, and the Democrats have avowe
that he had made q breach in the Republ

One of the Democratic papers in this State
on Thursday, the twenty-fourth instant
declared it's disbelief in the truth of tn
statement. that he was to speak for the Re

The announcement of the Republican
Committee that he would speak, togethe

Revels, of Mississippi, who is now one of
their peers on the floor of the Senate. He
showed that the rebellion was brought on
by the Democrats, and that they voted in
Congress as a party against appropriating

THE LABOR REFoRMERS A BRANCH OF THE
DEMOCRACY.
Ihave come.to answer, as near as l may,
this renewed appeal of the Democratic
party to the people of this country, made
here in New Hampshire at first, and to be
repeated again in the other States, to be
restored to that confidence and power which,

years ago IN this State. upon solemn trial

those who may for time be drawn away by
the attractions OF new names, new promises,
or new professions, are consciously and wit

those who are intent upon weakening and
destroying the power of the Republican
party. I know there are many honest,
worthy men who are fer a time drawn away
thus, but if they come to reflect upon the
nature of party politics, they will see that
all who draw against the Republican party
must draw and work together, and will,
ultimately, as certainly drop into the arms
of the Democratic party, whether they so
intend or not, as the infant drops into the
arms of its mother, and they will never mis-

are on those topics and subjects in which
there is no difference between them and the
Democratic party, conscious that with
that party they are at work, and by that
party they are countenanced, and nursed,
and supported, as from necessity they must
be.
THE ADVANTAGES OF PROTECTION TO HOME
INDUSTRY.
This afternoon l came across beautiful
iron bridge over the Connecticut river.
They told me that it cost 100000, but that
it was all made in England. Every days
work performed upon that, except putting
the pieces together, they told me was per.
formed in England. 1t took great many
men great while to do it, in great work
shop, and where that workshop was there
must have been great many families, and
where those families were there must have
been good many mechanics to supply them
with their wants. There must have been
the shoemaker, the halter, the tailor and
the baker. There must have been great
many schoolhouses here, and l have no
doubt there were churches. Now, fellow
citizens which would have been the best, to
have had that village on this side of the
water or on the other side? That is all
there is in this question. Had the laws of
the land made it cheaper to have brought
the raw material here, the bridge would
have been made here, the village would
have grown up here, the churches and
school-houses would have been here; and
the mechanics who gathered around and
lived in such village, would also have
been fere. The capital would have been
here, too, which would have been the best
of all. They tell us that in Iowa they can
not get enough for the corn they raise to
pay for raising it, and that they sometimes
burn it for fuel. Would it not have been a
great thing for them if this City of Nashua
could have been set right down in Iowa, to
have furnished market for their corn-a
nucleus around which to gather all these

Now, which of these two parties is it that
