SPEECH OF HON. HORACE MAYNARD.

Mr.. MAYNARD then came forward and spoke
substantially as follows: The eyes Of the
entire country are turned upon your State.
With the personal and local aspects of the
canvass | am not familiar, but will sketch the
case us it appears to me from a national
standpoint. There are two kinds of politics
one has for its object the elevation OF certain
men TO oftice-the other looks to the uphold.
ing of the great principle upon which the
country has been established. The latter is
the kind in which all good men should have
a common interest. For the past five years
southern Democrats have been left to tioun-
der in the hope that We might ultimately re.
turn TO the old institutions now passed
away while the Republicans have advocated
policy of progress, the Conservative party
is a sort of political Jericho where the weak,
and halt, and lame may stop until the party
boards are grown. 1t is the Democratic
policy under an alias. Our party has not
been the party of personal honor or adVan.
tapc. but the man who cannot stand up and
unbold what he believes to be right is not lit
to live in these times.
st the close Of the war, having deter
mined to uphold the Government, you may
we'll imagine that it was not pleasant that
many of my old friends returning from the
var turned their backs eoldly upon me, and
that my family were made subjects OF ha.
tired. But this gradually changed, and
those who once turned from me now accept
nv offered hand and inquire for my wife
and children. l was Whig before the
war. and did not then agree with the DEM
ocratic party, and I do not yet. He who
went to bis grave more loved than any
American statesman-Henry Clay-embodied
the Wing principles. When asked when he
would be willing that tie Union be dis
solved he said, Meier, necer, neuer.
Another doctrine Of the old Wing party
WIS that we should have national currency.
That idea did not prevail then; but true
principles never die, and we now realize the
benefits Of national currency -
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad IS
road that is destined to have an immense in
tiuence UPON the commerce Of the country.
