In tho way Of amendments; that we
have not been allowed to take the vote
OF the house - TO the various propo-
sitions to meet this affair which would
seem satisfactory toua We are confnel
to these propositions which the whole
Democratic party have finally del ermin ed

minority are outraged. according to them
for / recognize now. as recognized then,
the necessity aud duty OF the party in
power assuming the responsibility OF its
actions am only sorry that the ques-
tion cannot be settled, and settled right
eously, within the bounds of the Demo
cratic party itself; but, as know, and
every man In this country knows, the
majority of the democratic party would
decide against the good sense OF the ma

failure of that act 3 realize the hopes OF
the men who believed in a silver cur
rency. do not think that the rep al OF
that act Will be an Immediate cause OF the
revival Of the prosperity of thi, country !.
so my two reNsons for vo lug for the

We stand in very peculiar position.
tive of the Democratic party. Just chosen
president OF the United States. finds
himself powerless In his first great recon-
mendHtion to his own party. Were he

come, for us to lead this land back TO the
paths of prosperity aud fame. which
were trodden under Republican
rule for SO many years. we shall take
back with US our ancient glory undlm-
med by adversity, our ancient honor un-
| sullied by defeat.
