nrmed with the bolt of the veto power, shall defy the will of the people's repre. ?entalies. and which taking hold of the ermine of the judiciary, shall make it the pandar of party prostitution. Ad ;puism that, stalking into the presence of the co-ordinate branches of the government, usurps their functions and creates them but the echo of its will ; that, marching through the avenues of patlronage, shoots down virtue as a spy, and enoblcs and fortifies political vice, that, timid of the power of the b-dlot box. seeks to surround it by a garrison of corrupt ofllciaN; that, profesrdng republicanism, asks to enforce a lineal dynasty in the executive chair, and which, looking abroad over this great, tiiis wide, t'uis glorious nation, looking abroad over this race of noble, intelligent,

The humblest man has his sphere of influence, and no duty which belongs to man individually to execute, is discharged, by a lazy dependence upon the efforts of others. Each one of you should regard himself as a committee of vigilance, of organization, and as an

important engine to tho success of the comman cause. And thus having calmly and wisely effected organization, prudently following it up, with an omnipresent sense of the importance of individual exertion in this work casting away, as too contemptible to be entertained, all jaundiced feedings of rivalry moving with equal zeal in the lead or in the column, success is our3 it must he ours, for truth is with us. It is but for us to unfold the page of

der tones for relief, that the yeomanry of

America expected too much from their rulers! It was not that spirit which covered

with calumnies the illustrious hero of North Bend, a son of a signer of our de

claration of independence, and whose chief

that having nobly serveo his

country in the field, and haviuir purely ad

ministered her civic! otiices. he consented,' at the unpurchased solicitation of a grateful constituency, to lead on the people in the great struggle for a restoration of the palmiy days uf the republic. Xor was it that spirit which, alter a majority of the American people had spoken their verdict on men and measures in terms more decisive than our history had hitherto recorded it was not thit spirit of our noble ancestors which meaniy consented to bribe a weak and wicked instrument, that treason might accomplish a resistance to the will of that people whose power or

ganized and desperate paritiauisin nau been too feeble to withstand! Such factional fury and governmental corruption breathe nothing of the golden age of the' republic! And yet such as this is the path in which the leaders of the modern democracy have trod, and. in which thev seel. i d . . i .
