The speaker said: ■ We hl causo to press thosj who engamd in " belliou further than onr safetv A f They are but a faction, a uáuoritv !'t' out position, wealth or inflnenoe.

However you may view the incident! if the canvuu you will tiLd heteaftet that that which 1 teil you is the truth of history, and that is, th'it the administration party, with its kaders and with iu organization, will be destroyed by thii canvass and a new party of wiser and bett rr men wül be installed by the ptopje in their pLicos. [Applause.] This will happen. Even though by accidont of Üie cauvass Gen.

To s-vy that a party orguiad under such oiruuiustauces, ior siiehapoier, is to bo indefinito!}' defeited is impossible. I have recalled to you the career cf anti-slavery men - how they begwi with a scora. a 8ngle man, with truth to fiflht for, until thoy absorbed the power of tho tountiy and thair most extreme views wore puf into the Consfitntion of the country Our carees is the sanie ai theira.
