These are thy reasons for not smiling
the men I have named. These are my reas
ons for deelaring that, as a Democrat, I am
prelim toot to eulogize Liticoln,nor to pretend
that Andrew Johnson is - I:li:eying out the
policy of his predeceemor, which policy,
throughout, we of the Demeeretio party
steadily, consistently, and, I think, rightly
opposed from the beginning I never learned
to stultify myself, and I do not, propose to
begin at this period of my life. Others can
exercise theielloft judgment and their own
rights—l propose to exercise mine.
lkave said to you, fellow-citizens, that I
amid not speak the language or sentiments
or maintain the doctrines of the Democrat
ic party without defending the Constitution
and advocating the Union, and hence I am
the firm, earnest and determined supporter
still, as from the time it ices finally declared
about one year ago, of the policy of the
President. Igo no further back. Ido not
now assume to discuss the question whether
in the beginning that policy was properly
proclaimed. I have an earnest and decided
opinion upon it. As elsewhere I hare tied,
and believe, it would have been far wiser
end better Avery way, for the whole country
and infinitely better, especially for the pence
of the country, now and hereafter, bad the
President approved of fhb terms ■greed
upon between Gene. Sherman and Johnson,
in North Carolina, fn April, 18115. 'But the
explanation is satisfactory, at least to my
self. The Preeldent had but for a few days
been in the office of the Chief Magistrate.
Ile was surrounded by men of whom he was
almost, even personally, ignorant=men who
bad be dared to plane himself in their path
way, as since, thank God, he has had the
courage to do, might have disposed of him
as summarily as they did the body of Booth.
For Ads reason, I think we ought not to
quarrel with him for this mistake—and a
mistake I think it to have been, for had
those terms been accepted they would have
accomplished whet General Sherman de
clared in bin order to the army accompany
ing the announcement—made peace in four
and twenty hours with Union from the Po
tomac to the Rio Grande. They were terms
of immediate restoration of the Union—
They required only what the Crittenden
resolution, demanded—the surrender of the
southern armies, the laying down of their
arms, eubmission to the Constitution, and
obedience to 'the laws and the Federal au
thority, and with that the return, also, to
the exercise of all rights under the Consti
tution And this woe statesmanship—high,
noble statesmanship ; and more than that,
the highest and noblest patriotism.
I hove said that the President has now s
policy which every Democrat endorses. It
is our duty to support him earnestly and
cordially in carrying cata that policy—the
policy of immediate restoration to full Fed
eral relations of all the Steles, so that we
shall hove a Union, not of ell and twenty,
but of thirty-six Statue. Now itco happens
OM the very issue of to-night was the is
sue six years ago When last I addressed
you from this very spot, in 1860, what was
tim question? : Mr. Lincoln expressed it In
his inaugural—" the tettos of intercourse
between the Ncirth and the South." It dif
fers now only iu ro far to the status of the
question has een obanged„,by the long and
bloody war whiolihatrinlervened. We then
debated in publio assemblages upon what
thyme of intercourse the North and South
should lire together. At that time theoz—
treme men of t ,. 0 South were claim ing . that
they could no remain in the same Union
with the North and the Plastrunleas Myr
had guarantee's to protect them in the en
joyment of their .slave property, over and
above what the old Constitution bad given
them; and now after this long period of
bloody and devastating warfare, what is the
question? "The terma - of inthroontee still r'
and a party of extreme men here tie
North, controlled by Congress, are claiming
that they cannot live with the people of the
South, unless Choy have new and additional
guarantees to protect the North against the
South, lest oue of these days they rise up
and oonquer the North.

Suppose you go to war. You cannot light
always; nod when, after wool' low irteboth side,
and na pin on either, you cease fighting, the
tdontie l old questions as to torms of inter/cane

I heard that. I remembeethat es ,

The recent civil or sectional war Is ever.
The Confederate armrest have siliendered
and been ffispersed, and the Federal army,
1,200.0000 strong i,. have been diminished to
less than 60,00 . The war is over ; but the
Union is not, restored. Did war restore the
Union? Let every soldier and officer an
swer. If war did restore it, what are they
doing here, advocating the President's pol
icy? They all did their duty like brave
Men. It was no fault of theirs that their
worhodul not restore the Union They broke
down the armed hostility to the Federal
Governmpt, and it sae only because is the
eternal nature of things, by the decree of
the amoipotint God, force could nut cement
• Union made by consent, that the Union
was not restored; and now that the entire
Dem'octhtio party is ether° it has clear;
beith, and every soldier and officer who,
reflect. in that war ought to come forward
swetunite with, that party in achieving
thropgh thshapot the work that war could
not accomplish.
Again, raid believe Troia the beginning
that the war was ter the abolition of slavery,
and not for the restoration of the Union.—
True I heard Abraham Lincoln any, on the
4th of March, 1801, in the inaugural to
which ['referred, that.he had menthe? the
right nor the desire to °boiled', it Again,
on the day afTell thic .. 6iittle of Hull Rau, I
saw John J. Crittenden present for the sec
ond time a resaluilmi toWbietr, -- wtren - offered
a few days before that battle, bad been
laughed out of the House; and I saw every
member of- that Mona. - vote - for - ttTexcrept

thefght if we were to have war, it ought to
have been declared, at least a war only for
the supremacy of the Constitution and the
reeWation °t i the Union. I remember, toe,
that in the several Executive orders calling
for an Increase of the army and navy, and
in the first message of the PresideotAleCon•
gress, it was aonouneed that the purpose of
the war was to restore the Union. Rut I
remembered that Abraham Linnet° wai cho
sen President by a sectional party--that be
had avowed the doctrine of the irrepressible
conflict, and declared that this Union could
not endure part shave sad part free, and was
therefore resolved that it should be all free.
Remembering theta things, how could I be
deceived? Knowing the character of the
Republican, party, bow could I bemistakent
I remembered further, that after the first
Monday In December, 1861, the Republican
party never had re-affirmed the Crittenden
resollition. I remembered that in the sec
ond and third sessions of the Thirty-seventh
Congress and throughout the whole of the
Thirty-eighth Congreps, that resothapn, in
some form, was offered by Denim:huts and
moderate men, and laid upon floe table by
Republican majorities. I remembered. fur
ther, that on the 226 of September. 1862, or
about th,,t time, the President issaedThis
proclamation declaring slavery abolished .th
the United States. I believed then, that the
war was not for the Union nor the Consti
tution. but for the abolition of slavery, and
that this would lead us to the very question
which is threatening us to-day with another
civil war. Now, who was right in all that?
Was it not for the abolition of slavery f Has
it not set free three or four millions of Mateo
and are we not to-day debating the status
of these divas now freedmen ?
But candor oompeis 111. to say the 1,1,13

even the whole power of the Federal Gov

in that I was absolutely and totally wrong.
Dot I could not foresee that the reettorces
of ten years would have been no wasted

other considerations I believed that when

be perplexed and harassed by questions tan

in rebellion, or it is called—men in armed

have a seat in the Senate or House, or a
vote in the Electoral College, because they
were not loyal, not attached to that Canati

justly excluded. How stands the case now'
They have surrendered,

&therefore, to day. I mean loyal no*, with

go back and ask of one who would join a

CLOUDS OF DARKNESS
It Callool be disguised that the gloomiest
view' seem to peNade the South since the
I hoe Mongrel victories at the polls. (lopes
of speedy rehabilitation, which ware light
,Mg the honson, have been dashed to the
earth The madness and malignity of the
Mongrel leaders, the destitution of mosey
and bread, the disorganization and mut&
.eienay,of labor, short crops and a dark, un
bertaig future, seem to be weighing more
heavily upon the brave and generous heart
of the South than the reverses of war or its
appalling disasters.
God only knows what may be in store
for us, North or South ; but if there are
any principles in this universe, any reward
for virtue, any punishment for the most
flagrant:mimes ;--if there is such f thing
as divine Law, and lie in very truth, is the
' Magistrate of the earth is well as of •Ilear
en—if "justice and judgment are the hab
itation of Ills throne," there is an ordeal at
hand suck as few nations haAbeen subject
ed to. A storm is gathering which will
shake .be continent as it has never been
shaken before.
We are daily more and more impressed
with the folly of attempting to reason with
Fanaticism It is labor lost to jagrue with
much lunatics as Sumner and Thad. Stevens,
and Brownlow With the rational faculty
they have lost the power of human senti
ment, _Like Butler, they are mere ••beasts',
in broadcloth! Our mission is to men of
reasoning, sense, and human seneibilitics.
To such men of the Mongrel party, if such
there be, we appal, in this hour of na
tional fate, to pause in tht mad career of
party; to contemplate with thel.ondon TAmes
the siiir wreak of constitutional gevern
mentWhich they have already bees allowed
to be efTeoted; the bloody ruin of alimateri•
al interests and social order which must
rpnult from the contemplated measures of
the dominant potion.
To northern Democrats we say again, es
ever, when we learn to fight for principles
we may hope for victory and the salvation
of our country, end not till then. To Pres
ident Johnson, vainly striving, like Sydney
Smith's Mrs. Partingion, to sweep the sea
oetiOrro piton sad revolution with the broom
-stick of Executive patronage, we say "Too

ever presented to any generation for its de

table of distant races to each other? That is
the'real questirn which we are blindly and
reoklessly, trying to solve, Igntranee and
