day in opposition to the colored man.
He threw back with contempt the charge
that the Republicans had nominated a
colored man for political effect. We
simply recognize the equality of all men
before the law. 1t is only carrying out /
the line of the Republican party from its
birth We took millions of colored men /
out of Democratic bondrge and made /
men of them, and it is the proudest part |
of our record We are only earring out |
time honored principle of the party.
He went on TO say that it had not been |
tn e record of the Democrats, as party,
to champion the soldiers You try 10
make it appear that you prefer a white
soldier to a colored soldier. Were you
in power on this floor. would you nomi-
nate a disabled Republican soldier FOR
position2 Not a bit of it. You are at
tempting to perpetrate fraud. The op-
position to Mr.. Tyler is simply carrying
out the principles of the Democratic par
ty.
Mr.. Barnet of Richland made one of
his old time moss back Democratic
speeches,-such as it is customary to
/ peddle about from one cross roads to an
other.
Recess until ten o'clock tomorrow.
The following are the proceedings on
the second day:
Mr.. Stone, Of Gallia (Rep.), said that
when the slave offered to fight for the
stars and stripes, that had always been
to him an emblem of slavery, it was one
of the sublimest spectacles in the annals
of time But the Democratic party said
his offer was unconstitutional, and dared
us to accept his services. We have al
ways dared to do right; believe we have
so dared; the country has sustained us,
and put US and kept us in power, and by
the eternal, we mean to do right to-day
and henceforth. Loud and general APP
plause.
We will do right in voting for Mr. Ty-
Ter, colored man as he is; "darkey" as
they call him; cook" as they stigmatize
him for his army services-we shall vote
for him and elect him to the place for
which he is nominated. Not dare to
vote for a colored mani Why, when my
dearest friend had escaped from the Dem
ocratIc hell at Andersonville, and when
Democratic bayonets were in his front,
and Democratic bloodhounds in his rear,
it was colored men that hid him by day
and fed him and guided him at night,
until he had regained the protection of
the stars and stripes which Democratic
treason was seeking to drag in the dust.
Not dare to vote for a colored man for
officel Ay, dare to do so in the face
and teeth of every Democrat in the land.
rGreat applause.
Mr.. Converse didn't dare the Re
publicans to vote for the colored man.
said they didn't dare to vote for the sol
dier we put in nomination.
Mr.. Stone-Who does not know that
your nomination Of this soldier is a con-
temptible. hypocrItic, and dastardly
fafce2 The very man you bring forward
now, and against his consent disgrace
him by your treacherous support, you

: Mr.. Norton, of Greene (Dem. said the
Republican party was responsible for the
war, and defeated the Crittenden com
promise in order to bring it about. They
are as much responsible for the war as
any one. And we don't forget the time
when you mobbed every man in Ohio
who dared even to crack a butternut in
fence-corner laughterl; yet you ele
vated not long ago, to the Lieutenant
Governorship of Ohio as arrogant trai
tor as ever breathed beneath the flag oI
, the Southern Confederacy. That man j:

Mr.. Norton's allusion was evidently tc

! Tyler was a cook, and the records of the
Adiutant- Generals office would be search

broach the idea that the colored mar

but the dregs and foul remains of Demo

Democratic party and showing with wha

p had come to the rescue of the countr
when it was assailed by treason of th
