Prolonged cheering. Senator Hampton said !:
In accepting the invitation to join in this
grand demonstration, my chief object was that
| might, before entering the canvass in my
own State, meet the Democracy of this our
great metropolis that I might congratulate
them on their patriotic action in subOrdina-
ting all personal differences all local jealous
les, all private aspirations to the great cause
in which we are all engaged, and that might
carry back to my own people the assurance
given by the United Democracy New York,
that victory was already in our grasp. do
not come to counsel you, for your patriotism
has already, by securing harmony and united
action in your ranks, averted all danger OF
defeat. I do not come to discuss the great
and varied national questions involved IN the
present contest. It would be presumption in
me to attempt to do so here after your
great Observation-Disclosures Seymour-the
patriot who seeks only his country's good
,he statesman whose enlarged vision not only
ooks over the past, but sees far into the fu-
;ure-had raised his prophetic voice to warn
MS countrymen of the dangers threatening
hem. Besides this reason for not addressing
YOU at length tonight, it gives me now such
severe physical pain to speak in public, that
ny friends must pardon me if my remarks on
his occasion are desultory and brief. Indeed,
