No home! What misfortunel How
sad the thought! There are thousands
who know nothing of the blessed inAu-
ence of n comfortable home; merely be-
cause of want OF thrift, or dissipated
habits. Youth spent in frivolous amuse-
ments. leaving them ct middle nge,
when the physical and intellectual man
should be in Its greatest vigor, enervated
and without one laudable ambition.
Friends long since lost, confidence gone
and nothing to look to in old age but O
nero toleration in the community where
they should be ornaments. No home to
fly to when wearied with the struggles
incident to life; no wife to cheer them in
their dependency; no virtuous house
hold to give zest to the joys of life. All
Is blank. and there is no hope of succor,
except that which is given out by the
hand of private or public characters.
When the family of the industrious and
sober citizen gathers around the cheer
full fire of wintry day, the homeless
man is seeking shelter in the cells OF
station house, or begging for nights
rest in the out-buildings of one who
started in life at the same time, with no
greater advantages; honesty and indus
try built up that home, while dissipation
DESTROYED the other.

> provements of the nation, the
, of Its cities and general prosperity of
, the people advancing with unparal-
, leled rapidity, is confessed by the
J nation to be the very marvel Of the
century.
j And now to this contrast OF these
deeds of the parties one other quality
it has. Know that we were compelled
to struggle for and attain these results
despite the concerted, unanimous and
Iprotracted efforts OF the Democratic
party that not one should be achieved.
By their Presidents message to Con-
gress, cheered to the echo by tie
party, they demanded reputation
outright. By resolving in national
convention and Congress in favor Of
virtual reputation, by nearly unani-
nous support of Johnson's pocket
veto of the bill affirming the purpose
to pay our debt, and by prediction
that the debt could never be paid or
funded at lower rates, they inflicted
on the nation all of shame they could,
and loss of millions in injury to our
credit.
: And when in defiance of these
monstrous wrongs against their
country's honor these results were
achieved, this party meet in Baltimore
convention, and 'sdenounce repudia-
ton in every FORM" and Tsmmany
and Ku-Klux indict the Republican
party for lack Of economy, purity, and
concern for the public faith and well
fare, and ask themselves to be put
into power because they are ere
formersin
Such exactly and by the record .

presented by this demand by the
Democratic party that they shall be
restored to power. 1t is display Of
sudacity Of which men are incapable
who have not been trained in such
schools as have been keptfor 80 many
years for the tuition of them who dis
play it-kept at Tsmmsny Hall, and
at lodges of Southern conspirators.

As an intelligent statesman ant

day, August IL, this gentleman ad
dressed very large sssemblage o.
his neighbors at Springfield. Hi
speech was, perhaps, the ablest effort
Of the campaign, and showed careful
preparation. We are sorry that we
cannot give 1. il full, but must con.
tent ourselves with giving q few ex-
tracts therefrom. After speaking OF
the demand made by the Liberals
that old party lines shall be broken
up. he makes the following contrast :
THE CONTRAST.
By considerations like these have
now appealed to, am authorized
and demanded, in selecting my party
associations..and my rulers, to scan
their history. When this scrutiny is
done with "malice toward none, and
charity for all'-done not to exag-
gerate wrongs, to keep alive resent
ments that all good men let die, but
only that American electors may, bv
mems and parties lives decide who
is worthiest to be intrusted with
what involves the lives, liberties, and
destinies of all the people and of their
country, then the scrutiny becomes
supreme public duty, and its omis.
sion is guilt for which there is no
name.
Let us then 60 in this spirit of
charity and truth, and not for pur
pose of elimination, into this scrutiny
Of the lives of parties, that we may
by their "fruits know them"
AT Baltimore, they gave the place
of honor at the head of their platform
this resolution:
"First-We recognize the equali.
ty of all men before the law, and
hold that it Is the duty of the govern
men, in its dealings with the people,
to meet out equal and exact justice
to all, of whatever party, race, color,
or persuasion, religious or political.'
For its companion and place Of
second honor they set this:
"Second-We pledge ourselves to
maintain the Union OF these States,
emancipation, enfranchlsement, and
to oppose any reopening OF the ques.
tions settled by the 14th, and 18th
to the Constitution"
By this sign--the seduction of the
colored race-they expect to conquer.
Let us, therefore, scrutinize this first
and by itself.
Equality of all colors before the
law to all colors equal civil and
political rights, in voting and in
every other right secured or regula-
ted by law. Equality OF all men
before the law" The grand truths
Democracy sets this year, as the first
Of her jewels, and by their beauty
expects to win her the black man OF
the republic and his friends. Look,
at the character OF this
pretension that to make these truths |
secure it Is needful TO destroy the |
party, and put the con
troll of the government in the power
of those who assembled at Baltimore.
For these very truths enforce.
ment the Republican party was born
from the convulsions following the
Democratic party's demand that
slavery should 60 to our utmost
North, by virtue of the repeal Of the
Missouri compromise. 1t was for |
these truths enforcement our party |
in Kansas, its first baptism |
