have stood by it through evil as well as
good report Applause They have
not passed from Federalists to Wings,
and from Wings to Republicans. and in
a little while the Republicans will want
better name than Republican. Why,
we are like the laws of nature-stern, in
flexible, and in its purposes eternal;
right and Justice to all men, injustice
and cruelty to none. Applause l
understand that there are some people
in the State of Ohio who have never
looked into the details of the thing. but,
having lost all hope that this frighful
pile of iniquity upon them, have turned
around to find, in some nook or corner
of the political organization, something
by which they may revive their political
fortunes; and what have you then?
Would you suppose that man who was
so deeply in public plunder, and in the
love of despotism, as he was, would un-
dertake to find some support ? Religion
They are pretty set of fellows to talk
about religion Laughter Religion
Like some of the bandits of Italy, that
rob and murder, they want to interest
or to pit against each other the vast fam
lily of Christians in the United States
to make one set of Christians hate an
other. Their pretentions are mere baga-
telle. They are now trying to arraign
one party, one religious community in
this country against another; but they
will fail l tell you the great American
people know full we'll. and every man,
woman and child of them feels that to
vote is duty, and the duty of citizen,
and to pray is another duty, and the duty
of the Christian. We are not going to
blend these things; we are not going to
touch the ballot box and endanger publ
lie liberty by introducing into the politil
cal contest of the country, that of all
others which is dearest to American citi-
zens; we will unfurl the flag that gov
erned US in the beginning of the Govern
ment. The Democratic party is in no
way alarmed. [Applause.1 1t was not

AEven so late as when l was in Congress
we took some money out of the Treasury
not great deal, but certain sum; but
it was to return to the heirs of an old
Democratic editor fine imposed upon
him and collected by the Federal Govern:
ment for expressing his opinions too
freely in a newspaper. We interfered
and handed his money back to his de
scendents, though he had long been en-
tombed in his grave. All the history oil
our country shows that we are the
patrons of no special interest. We don't
belong to any organization outside of the
Democratic party, which includes all
We are the patrons of the whole people
and they are going to vote for US this
fall. At a great mass Republican meet
ing in October last year, a few of oul
friends wanted my friend, the candidate
for Congress, to make a speech on the
corner of one of the streets, and the can
didate of the Republican party wanted
to make a speech, too. He was not quite
as good at making speeches as our mar
was, and therefore he got my old friend
Governor Noyes, to come up and make
speech. Well, Noyes spoke the frs
night, and McMahon was to speak the
next night on the square, an d l was helc
in reserve to do little talking at the
same place. After the Republican meet
ing Governor Noyes generously and kind

friends and came up to my room. l wa

polite as possible. Among other things
we got to cracking jokes, ,and Noyes, think
