never be another Republican Presi-
| dent of America Thank God for
that! They have Republican Pre-
sident from 1876 to 1880 created by
fraud, and we have submitted rather
than break the peace of the country.
\
The party destined to control and
regenerate the interests of this coun-
try for generations to come is the
Democratic party. In the first place
the Democratic party is a national
party. In the second place. the De-
mocratic party is constitutional
party. It intends to administer the
government according to the princi-
pies of the Constitution,
r
You cannot kill the Democratic
party, because it is the outgrowth
and representative of our Constitu-
tion. You cannot kill the Democrat
ic party until you kill the Constitu-
ton out of which it derives its exis-
tence and strength. l say this, be.
ing an old Whig-and to this 1 want
TO call your attention moment. Be-
fore the war there was no difference
between the Wings and the Demo
cratic party as to the character Of
the government as it existed. We
differed as to such measures as null
ification and secession. The Wing |
party has passed away, and the De-
mocratic party absorbs the intelli-
gence and patriotism which once ex,
listed in the Whig party with perfect
consistency; and every man in our
country who is in favor of the Con.
stitution is, by the force of circum-
stances, a Democrat. -H-a
Fellow-citizen yon need not doubt
it. you need not question it. The
Democratic party is going to control
this government for a generation.
There is no party which can control 1
it. ! begin to think that the Demo |
cratic party can never be killed. Sc
cession did not kill it. fraud has not 1
killed it, it has not killed itself, and |
it will not die. t

You hear of disaster, sorrow, de- t
confusion financially and y
otherwise, all over the country. That n
s true. They are all results of Re-
publican rule. They are deep, wide s
spread, terrible, as | consider it. A s
sectional, unconstitutional class leg d
stating party cannot dominate over O
his country eighteen years without Y
misery to the people, and d
he Republican party has produced p
hese results. t
And here is my proposition If
'ou and differ as to the remedy for t
hese evils let US agree in this, that n
Te will stick to the party. You can q
ot carry out any remedy otherwise
ou cannot hope 10 accomplish it
therwise. If you do not propose q
o do so by the Democratic party, +
low will you do? You must do it T
y some other party. What other
'arty must you rely on? As | said. +
'ou must go to the dying Republi- i
an party or organize a new party, .
o be composed largely of the Re-
party and its controlling
dement, to be of that party. =
Now, my friends, you who differ :
With me, who are you going to differ !,
With! Are you going to differ with :,
he party? If you do you will be as ),
wise as a preacher who read text :,

Laughter. He neither injured the
ord nor established the correctness ,

ou cannot correct the evils other :.
