The Washington Democrats serenaded
Mr.. Stephens Thursday night. MIR. W. L.
Bell introduced DR.. Culver, who said that
this was no ordinary occasion that brought
them together. They had come to honor
the nomination OF General Hancock, whose
headquarters benceforth were in the saddle.
He then introduced Hon. Alexander H..
Stephens.
Mr.. Stephens was held up in the arms Of
two stalwsft Democrats and greeted with
yoclferous cheers. lie said:
"Gentlemen OF the Jackson Democratic

Of peace aud prosperity-a revival OF the
industries OF the country. They want a
cessation OF sectional strife, and intend to

war. The question of Secession is as eter-
nally settled in the South as it is I'm the
North. They want equalization OF taxation,
the iniquit0us system OF internal revenue
changed, and they look solely to cOnstitu-
tional measures for relief. The Democratic

been the psrty OF law aud order. They
want peaceful measures-first in the Le-

principles, the column moving on, looking
to the right, establishing their banner or
