' The immortal Jtnooln, to whom yoir Senator has so eloquently referred to-day was the educator of the young uea of our free State, and it is one of my proudest reflections thst say politics were learned from Lieu. When a young man came to him, Mr. Lincoln took him by the hand and lifted him up into society. ills unlvenal declaration was, My dear sir, if you desire to become useful and successful in the political affairs of this country, my . Jrdv ice to you, is never to get very far away front the people; keep close to the people, march side by tide with them; let them leid you by lis band, acknowledging that from them spring the liberty snd the lessons of Governments.

And it a the .laboring . men of the conn try that make the bulwark of Republicanism io thin nation. Where did wa go to find that leader? Did we reach high up to some pedetsl of fame and take a man on account of his position and fame? No; this Kepublican party reached down, away down; to the firm foilndatlon of society and took this child of obscurity, this man of purity, this roan of excellence, this nan born to immortality; we took the immortal Lincoln by the hand and lifted him upo the high plateau of American institutions. Loud applause. It wss tbr first grsnd effort of the grand Ststes of Iadiaoa and III inois to propose that we march under the leadership of that man. : Illinois will never cease to love you for your action when your Senator proposed to the Union Convention Abraham Lin coln as our standard bearer in 16G0. .Un der his caution and wisdom, tinder his great leadership we could be nothing else than successful. .

O, miserable, God-forsaken, country-forsaken party, show your, bands. (Renewed laughter.) What is there of which the party can be proud? Have you got in your record an expression of a uoble or inspiring seatiment? Poor, miserable, dumbfounded, defunct, dead aod dying party. (Laughter and applause.) .You come up to the Republicans of Indiana and aak thorn to vote for your candidates, from President down to the lowest ofllce in the gift of the people. You aak this old man, these young men; who havo never voted, to attach themselves to your infamous record. - Sir, there is no young man within the aouod of my voice or the Jurisdiction of our, State, that can with safety, vote the Democratic ticket thia fall. It is an act that would cause him trouble to tho last day of his life. When men ask yoa how you voted in 18CS, would you be able to lift your bead and lay you voted against thst simple hearted, pure minded great soldier, leader of the Republican party, that little giant who marched at tho head of a million men from conqueat to conquering; and from conquering to conquest, front one viotory to another, the bravest living soldier to-day upon the broad globe a truo genuine lover of liberty and humanity. (Applause.) -1 look upon it not only as a eutrgv but ss spproaching a crime, to go tu Ibens young men and try to tear thorn away from their natural af(fiance, from their natural feeling', and persuade tbain to vote this Democratic ticket.' , II!

Ab, ladies, and gentlerain, let it be said to our imperishable honor that no Kepublican ever fired upon that flag.; (Great applause and cries of "Good, good.1') No Kepublican is stained with the crime of treason; no Kepublican has ever been a traitor to our Gov. ernment.

Here is their record as my memory will furnish it. 1 cannot give it sll, but will give you something of their history for the last seven years.' .They opposed the election of Lincoln in 18ÜÜ and in 18C4. In 18GI they opposed the proclamstion . of Mr. Lincoln calling for ,75,000 volunteers; , they opposed his . proclamation, of Mr. Lincoln calling for 500,000 more men; they op posed bis call for 300,000 additional troops; tbey opposed the resolution , of Congress to prosecute the war; tbey opposed every measure employed to put down the rebellion spainst our Government by force of arms, they eppoeed the declaration of the Republican party that no State had a right to secede from the Union; they opt posed the flag of our loyal Government; the calling put of volunteers, their organization iuto regiments; they opposed their march to the field; they, opposed the appointment of Gen. Grant - to an Illinois regimeni; they opposed the march of Gen. Grant to the field; they opposed the promotion of Gen. Wood; they opposed the protnotiou of Gen. Cruft; tbey opposod the promotion of Gen. Streight; they opposed the promotion of every officer in our army, they opposed the elistmeot of every privtfta in the regiments; they. op posed giving rstions to our soldiers; they opposed tho furo'uhing tbem with arms; ny opposea tne iaea oi raising money to buy swords and muskets and to purchase horses and harness aod steam ships; the purchase of gun boats and steamboats; they, opposed the purchase of powder and lead and everything that constitutes thei paraphenalia of war: they opposed the marching of men out of the limits of ourtState, and opposed their remaining io the State as soldiers. (Laughter.) They oppopel our marching under the flag and firing upon rebels either io or outside of the line; they opposed the battle at Donelson, the battle at Belmont, our vie.mm tory at r ort iiecry and obilon, and our march down the Mississippi river, the battle at Corinth, and New Orleans and opposed the orders Ren, Ruller gave there to make the rebels behave , themselves. (Laughter.) , They were opposed to, making Grant Msjor General of volunteers; they were opposed to making him Major General of the army; they were opposed to making him Lieutenant General; they were opposed to the surrender of Vickaburg upon the terms of General Grant; they were opposed to the battle of Champion Hills; they were opposed to the battle of Lookout Mountain; they were opposed to viotory of Chicumagua; they were opposed to Gen. Sherman's march to tho sea; they were opposed to his march back to the States; they were opposed to Gen. Grsnt's match into the Wilderness and through the Wilderness; they were opposed to his victory on the James River, and they were absolutely opposed to the final surrender of General Lee to Grant, and expected that Grant should surrender to Lee. (Laughter and applauxe.) They were, Io a word, opposed to the war from beginning to end. They were opposed to the issue of bond?; they. were opposed to the Issue of Treasury notea to carry on the war; they were oppoocd to the issue of grccubacke to carry on the war; they, were opposed to tho employing any resources of the Government to carry on the war. There never was a time, from the beginning to the end of the war, that that party did not persistently oppose, every hour aod every minute, during the fearful contest, everything done to prosecute it. That is llieir record today. Jt is a record of opposition to everything that is grand or uoble or inspiring. Tbey stand ready to-day andoro pledged, when the first eppottuotty comes, to tear down and destroy our fair fabric, They would tear out by the roots and scatter to the winds tho principles of reconstruction, which are lite salvation of our country, There is nothing, absolutely uothing that they layored for the preservation of über ty and union during the last long Uht years of trouble which the nation had passed through. ; Til Hilt INFAMOUS DEMANDS. This then is the party that cornea to you to-day, this renegade party, this worn out nartv cornea before the ' American teotle and asks you to put them in power, that wants yon to elect Mr. Hoymour President and this tuao Hendriuka Governor of your State, I understand he is a pretty good ort of a Democrat, a man of some ability, and that even your cxcslleut Governor, Raker, has paid him quite a compliment in apeakiug of him, but tv dsy, if I were a voter in ' the Stato of

Laughter. 1 have not love enough for auch men to vote for them for any office, or to advise anybody else to do it. Laughter. , ( Vote for none but loyal men; vote for no man who does not love his country the men who have proven that they have been true and faithful. Stand by the men "who ' have been true to you, sod . faithful ' tb our cause. "' . ' r ".)... -i ,' Why, they opposed J?fraok. Blair aa ? a Major General of tKV army- They absolutely called him a urunkard, sou, piled upon him sll evils C, low, mean epithets, which were too.. i. But when Frsnk becsme Major General, and ran for Congress, be went aod tried to- get .his seat, and annoyed Mr. Lincoln, Mr., Lincoln felt kindly toward him, and wanted to do all be could to pacify the . Blair family. The next thing we heard was that he was drawing bis pay as Major General, 'and as a member of Congress.' That wss a little too heavy for us, but I believe the Democrats could not ' oppose it. L remember nothing but that they opposed, that was worth anything; but they won't -oppose anything as bad as that of Frank Blair. Laughter ' ' ? . CHARGES OP TUB DEMOCRACY. ',' ;,' Now the' Democrats say we have done something wrong; that we. have got to answer for something we have done wrong. They have made a great fuss about '.the national debt. Tbey have raised -a hue and cry in our State about, it. , When they first began this fuss, 1 tbonght there moft be something in the question. They said they were taxed to death.' You would see the Democrats around . io Illinois fo the greatest distress of any people you ever saw, laughter, utterly burdened down, crest fallen, bard looking,' rough, shabby Individuals. Renewed laughter. I never laid my eyes upon one that I didn't feel sorry, unless I was mad. They said they were ground down to the dust, taxed to death. Why, Oglesby, you are taxing the life out of us. I began' to investigate the matter, and finally ' will 'yoa be good enough to show a receipt for any taxes you have paid thii National Government, aod they didu't have any'. Laughter. ' Tiie Governor then proceeded, at some length, to show the sources from which the tsxes are derived, 'aui tflat tb'Wa who most complain of it have none to paythat many articles that were formerly taxed are now exempt, such as sgricultursl implements, mechanics' tools, &o. . This is every titbe of the taxation laid upon this American people to-iny for the purpose of paying the national debt. Of direct taxation there is rot a dollar ' of taxation on your farm, on your cattle, on your hops, on your sheep, on your implements of husbaudry. There is not a dollar or a cent of tax imposed upon them by your Republican Congress. Tell me, if you can, why it is that the Democrats of Indiana are ground down to the dust with taxation. We issued , these bonds and what then? Rut I must explain this thing to the Democrats. In the first place they don't know what a bond is. This same Government of ours, that has a right to tax everything, has nothing except what it derives from taxation. Its wealth consists in the wealth of its citizens; it has no money of its own, ' and it ought not to have any more than is r.eoessary to pay current expenses, to pay the interest on the debt, and gradually reduce it little by little. The Government did not have any money piled up lor us. It is a dangerous thing, and the. policy of Republican party is not to pile up money. To tax just enough to run the Govern ment; to psy the interest on tbo National debt, and keep our bonds as near par as possible. That is the whole object and purpose. Uut the war was on us, and we .had no money; old Buchanan and his hordo of officers stole the last picayune, we had left , us. Sixty-six milliona of dollara in debt, here we are in a pretty fix. Seven or eight . States bad gone out of the Union, and . even Buchauan . had gone home, blubbering and crying, and didn't know whattodo. He asked Seward what to do, and be could not teM. .Every Democrat was howling front ana end of the country to the other, and the whole crew hadn't sense enough to tell what to do.. They had tho Government, the army and the navy of the country, and tbey didu't know what to do. That was away bank,-before the States left tho Union. They lost their governing ' power and why? The Democratic party of tho North had not the power to control the party exclusively, because the Southern Democrats had given it in breath of lifo, and the moment its leaders went into the rebel army, of course the balance of thorn . did not know what to do. They had no ' experience; they bad no atatesmanthip, the best of them; end I will honor all auch noblo Democrats aa long aa, I live. They loyal Democrats that loved their country muro than their party, left that psrty sod wont with u. side by side, shoulder by llioulder, in the army and crihod that rebellion down. I'hrers This Mtue Government that levied taxus on the poo. t'lo to curry tho war on had tho right to borrow money. Huvnn't you the right, haven't the darkies the right, and haven't even the Democrat! got that right? (Laugh tor. woll the Government baa tho right to borrow if it wants to, but does it go round to Democrata to aak Ihom to lend it six blt? It would not ask thorn for more if it knew them , as well as I do, rLauuhter.1 Doos it co to Gov. Raker and aak him to lend? Does it go to New York and ask for the loan of money? No, sir, the Government doos not do that way. This Government sit dawn quietly and aaye we have got to pay our soldiers, we

The Republican party says in its 'platform this national debt shall be ' pud ' in good faith scoording- to the letter aud spirit of the law under which it was created; but as we are avealthy people, and as this Union is how saved for all time hi we firmly believe, it is a part pf , wisdom to spread out its payment over a number of years. It is pretty thick and will bear spreading out laughter say along for a quarter of a century, ot fifty years, if you pleasepaying a little at a time, ao we will not bear all the burden at once.; , We have already paid 8250,000,000, and there is not a Democrat in the' State that knows1 it, and why? Because the scoundrel has not paid a dime of it. Laughter 1 That is the reasoo he is not -consoious of. it. We have- paid all the expenses .of the Government,. and they have been burdensome enough.', We Lave paid every dollar of the daily expenses of this Government since the war cume to an end. We have paid, besides what we owed, the soldiers six hundred and fifty millions in back pay, and besides; that, we have paid seventy-five millions of pensions, and fifty millions in bounties, and we are going to pay twenty-five millions moie this year, We have paid all expense as we go along and in addition' to that we .have, reduced the taxation ono hundred and sixty . seven millions of dollars a year, and we have lifted iff the people t-ixteen millions per annum in addition to that. This National Republican Congress of ours has done this in spite of the Democratic party, in rpite oftho rebellious eentimeut ,of the Southend of the mean l enrlkcs hostility of Andrew Johnson to the country , and to his1 psrty. Cheets. Now these .bonds are out with our pio;ni.cs o pay six per (Cnt. I want to meet some of the cbargei the Democrats are making, with some cirncftnesa, against onr party. ,Vbat do they en)? ..The 'Democratic porty oj poses by any act of Coiiureea, to levy a tax of two per cent, on euch 100 of money these men hold against tjtiv Government. I say we promised to givo them six per cent. They took the bond, nd the Dem oeratlo party now proposes to reduce that tlx per cent, by law to', four per cent. They sy they will take two' ptr tent, off. It is very ousy way to tnsko money, but it strikes me It it disrrputntle. , if the bondholder is willing to sutrende'r , ,1ns. G cr cent, bund, and , take a 4 per ctnt.
