rms republican party, regret to say, mas fed
upon Lhe hates engendered by our late civil
war. 1t has denounced the people of the
south as InstHcere IN their professions, as I'M
Iuth1ul IN their statements. Some OF our
southern men have been willing to obtain
otnclaI stations by appealing to the passions
OF the southern people. My friends, all such
eHorts, come from what source they may,
shouid be discouraged and frowned upon by
the people. The party that builds its hopes of
success on arous1ng the hates of the people OF
the sectlons, in this hour Of our country's dis
tEess, does not deserve the support of the peO-
pie, but shouli have their condemnation. l

had leaped from the stormy clouds, and
plunged themselves into the bosom of the
river, but L could not tell in that peaceful
current which of the waters had
come from the AIleghanies, which had
come from the Rocky mountains, (which
had come from the lakes, or which

their bosom the commerce of the great Mis-
sissippt valley, each quietly submitting TO
that duty and destiny which God had 9p-
pointed to it. From this [ would have YOU,
fellOw-citizens, learn this lesson: When you
see the current of the American population
going out to their various avocations and du-
Jles-thOse just and honorable avocations
which they nave right to pursue in order to
support their families-dOn't ask, Did these
men come from the north, did they come
from the south, did they come from he east,
or did they come from the west; did they
come from Germany, did they come from Ire
land, did they come from Italy or cid they
come from some other cline; but let th EN- ali,
united peacefully and harmOntously, come
from where they may, like the waters of your
great river, bear your commerce and your
prosperity tc peace, quiet and happiness.
