Colonel Burch'S remarks were listened TO with
marked attention, he seeming to have particularly
enlisted the attention of the colored people. After

he had but little to add to what had been said
by his predecessors. He complained of hOarseness,
but felt IL his duty to recall the circumstance that

the Democratic and Republican party which re-

loved country more than the possession OF power.
