been safe for me to put my foot across
Mason and Dixon's line. The Whig
party seemed doomed to eat dust all
its life. No party could have crawled

party beat it all out. - The Republic
can party was the liberty party, COM
posed Of a few men, who determined
they would stop the internal rule of
slayeocracy in this country. John G.
Fremont was its first candidate, and
he was not successful. Then came
Buchanan. and when Fort Sumter was
fired upon there came the breath of
God that swept across the country.
Did the Democratic party JON hand
and soul with the public feeling? 1t
stood neutral. IL was the Democratic
party we had to fight to elect Lincoln.
| know whom | have been fighting for
the last forty years. You can't pull
wool over my eyes in that regard. All
through the war the Democratic par

When the country was in danger the
people chose the Republican leaders;
they knew what they wanted. After
the war, who settled the shaken af-

wildly before me- The first is Of that
great soldier who now represents the
Democratic party. He slept, and
dreamed. and once more he stood
where before in glory he stood-upon
the field of Gettysburg Forty thou

right and on the left, from New Eng
land, and New York, and Ohio, and
Indiana, and Pennsylvania, and all the
loyal States, the specters Of the sol
diers that there laid down their lives
for liberty. Thy face they cry,
once was toward the South for iber-
ty. Wherefore, oh, man, is it now
toward the South for slavery and
bondage?' I behold another figure,
bearing the highest dignity Of a true
manhood. 1t is the anxious, care
worn face Of the martyred Lincoln.

gence, of universal manhood"
