And 1 ere, U;y friends, is the gulf between the two parties. The idea of the Pemoc ratio psinj is that this is not a nation; that we are not or.e j e.-j lo, that we are a confederacy of States, that the sovereign and indcendent States sic I.cli together by an lirt'f ii:ent called the Constitution of the I't.ited States, and ihst when tltis sgreenieiit ! be dissolved or Stale becomes a rcfoalcd, tl.at thei separate and distinct eo, j ;e. lh;s is the old I mocratic i-iea It m tiic idea that maile the rcbeiUon. ir.d it is the idea that will dostn y or country, if it shall be destroyed.

I want to speak to yoa, very briefly in regard to this uc.-tion cf the tariff, but do not, believe I have strejisith to sro through with the subject.

I will y to YOU in the first plate thst we passed a bill, atrd a bill which t had the plcisure of voting for : - . just before I came home, by which we re- ; duce the taxes eighty millions of dollars; 1 we repealed felly seven mi, liens o internal ; tase? at one lash :nd twenty-ibrce nu; . l lions of tariiV ditties, niaiking altogether eighty millions. Atid I want to say to you j that this great measure of reform was not 'able to secure a single Democratic vote. ('3ur Democratic friends are very much op- ! posei to taxation! They are very much I opposed to the tariiT, but vet when we pre;senrj a bill that reduced taxation eighty mixtions ot dollars it did not receive one Democratic vote. The most of them voted against it, and some of them dodged. we repealed ail the internal taxes x cert the taxes on tobacco and whisky and cd she stamps on receipts stamps; w,- tb and on smali H notes under en hundred dollars. We swept away all the other taxes. and nearly all of the internal tax that is now tett is the tax on wnisxy and tobacco. Then we came to the tariff. We could not repeal the whole of the tariff, we have ot to nave revenue, it takec a vast deal ot money to carry on this government, e have tot to have one hundred and sixty millions of dollars, and it has go: to be raised cither by the tariff or by direct tax tj0n.

Wilkes Booth Shot the President, lo attract the attention ot the Aorth, i and to give a chance tor a reroite to the South, John Yates Beail was sent into Canada to operate on the frontier, as we show in detail next week. His was a nature much like that of Booth hotblood-1 and his trial, between John Wilkes Booth and himself had existed the closest inti ' oacy. ifaey had drunk Irom the same cup slept in the same bed admired the same girls spent convivial nights together, and so ran their social lives into each, that, like : uamon and l'yihias, they were more than brothers. i ; c ii icuusuip ueiu ion 'ended. betore it never ' i W it h the plan to abduct Lincoln and , bold him in some isolated retreat in the coutn till, lor his release, all Southern prisoners in Northern hands should be i uiven up.

At this lime Booth loved with strange and tender devotion a daughter of John P. Hale, Utiited States Senator fiom New Hampshire, lie worshiped her as, in his mind, the best and purest Woman he had ever seen. She admired him, but not with j that eternal reaching wilduess of love his was for her. i tne iiuinoso ui oui leeiiai c Jiiusi j . u - i- . draW 3s;de H curtain to reveal a glimpse ot ""'j" picture. : i. u ji. .r,t .1.

But he was reputed Sav nian ot llie wrld, and she feared to i trust her heart and destinies into his keeb ing, though we have reason to believe she pieatly admired him. And her father, looking to the happiness of his daughter, as he thought, was not cjuite willing the alliance Booth desired should be formed.

McLean was unusuailv intimate with Lincoln, and had more influence with him than any other Western Democrat. And he was cheek by jowi witn torney. McLean was to vouch tor Booth, with Hale and Forney to join in asking executive c'.eniencv for Beall. It was past midnight when the carriage containing Hale, Booth and McLean left the hotel where the hitter was stopping, and was driven to Forney's residence. Forney was in bed, under the influence of liquor. After some little talk and explanations, he arose, bathed his head in ice water, niaac a hasty toilet, and took a seat in the Carnage. The party were then driven to the White House, reaching there about two o'clock jn , be morning!"
