By this sign llioy had rccolvod llio Holy Spirit lor tho forgiveness of their original tin, Tlioy had becomo chil dren of (lod simply by adoption. As yet llioy wcroonfy babea In Christ. In order to "grow up into tlio measure of tho slnturo of tho fulness of Christ " in order to becomo men In order to bo Iiko unto Christ nml through Him, God's children by irraco thev must ro- ccivo an additional supply of tho Inllu onco of God's HoIyHplrlt operating In tneir nouns mm lives, nun lecti upon tho strong meat of tho word : nnd they must bo admitted to this privilege by tho laying on of hands of thoso whom Uod had appointed. This Is it plain ensn. So when tho npostlcs which wcro nt Jerusnlcm heard that theso Samaritans had recolved tho word of (Jod by the preaching of l'hlllp, and had been bap tised by him, " they sent unto thorn l'etcr nnd John ; who when they wcro cotno down, prayed for thorn, nnd laid their hands on tliciu, nnd they received tho Holy ahost." Since then, my friends, wo ncccpt tho Scriptures ns God's word, nml our in fallible guide, nnd they tell us that our Savior taught Ills disciples concerning all tilings pertaining to Ills Church during tho forty days Ho sojourned with them provlous to His ascension: Slnco wo believo tlio nposlled they ro quired of nnd practiced with, their con verts only thoso things for wliich Christ gavo them authority, becauso God has recorded It for our cxamplo and guid ance: And sinco Confirmation, or tho "Lay ing ou of hands," is one ot thoso things mentioned as being required by thorn as n means whereby to receive n special graco for iv special purpose: Jluy wo not reasonably concludo that Confirmation Is ns much required of us .... n nl...nl. .v.nit.w. e..n UIIIK iu enuiui) tue;ejetii; let luueji, reading tho Bible, nrivnto prayer and meditation, which nro sucn cratcful sources of refreshment to tho soul, though thoy bo notnbsolutely necessary to salvation '."

They who nro baptized in tho church, are presented to tho presiding officers of tlio church, that by our prayers and thelaying on of hands, they may recclvo tho Holy Ghoat, and bu perfected with tho seal of tho Lord." And near tho snuio time. Jeroino says: "This Is tho custom of tlio churches ; in tho caso of biicli asnro o.ipuzed niarou in llio lesser towns by tho priests and deacons, the Jlishop travels out to them to lay hands upon them for the invoking of the Holy ixptrti." 2mi it is a wen established fact, my friends, that for jlteen hundred years, tins was the ut.iform custom of tlio church, which Is, of Itself, a sulll clent argument to many minds In favor of Its authority and utility. But wo havo other witnesses to sum mon, by whom wo expect to provo to you that it is not, as somo so ignorant ly assert, 11 form gotten up by tho Pro testant Kplscopal Church to distinguish Its way of making church members from that of others; or oven ns others say with equal Ignorance.aud I nm sorry to say Intended unklndnass too, that It was borrowod from tho Banian Cntlin. lie Church, ns, If tho Koinan wcro tho only apostolic Church, nnd everything apostolic were too corrupt for protos tants.

If God sanctioned It by recording Its uso for my cxamplo and guidance, nnd mentions no other rlto superior to It In Its placo, it Is mino to believo it It Is mlno to practice.

Tho doctrine of tlio Kiftceth Amend men t was repudiated by tho Uadlcal party itself, in tho very Convention that nominated General Grant, when It declared, In tho second resolution of its platform, that tho question of suff rage, especially in tho loynl States, rightfully belonged exclusively to tho peoplo of tho sovernl States. Thoy dared not go into tho canvass upon tho coutrnry principle, for wherever tho question of negro suffrage had been submitted to tlio direct voto of tho peo plu in nny of tho "loyal States," It hnd met with an overwhelming nnd crush lug repudiation. Missouri, bound and manacled as shy was, voted It down by over thirty llvo thousand majority MIehigau voted it down by over twenty thousand majority j 'Wisconsin by over thirty thousand, nud Ohio by over fifty thousand, liven bleeding Kansas ro pudititcd It by n majority of over soven thousand. Nor is lids nil. With tho principles involved in theso amend ments its llio leading Issues between parties, IhcfVDeinoeracy, with a little over forty members In tho lower Houso of tho fortieth Congress, increased Iter representation in tho forty-second Con gress to ono hundred and three, with other Slides ccrtnln lo givo Democratic majorities yot to vote. Tho simo ratio of gain would Imvoglvon us tho forty- third Congress ns well ns tho electoral college, by an overwhelming majority. DEPAIlTINO ON A COW-CATCIlEIl, In viow of thoso facts, nfter wo hnvo carried lino after lino, nnd entrench ment nfter cntrenchment,of thoencmy's works, when wo wcro on tho llood tldo of success, nnd moving with Increasing triumph, why wo should abandon tho field, why wo should chnngo front nnd sound nn Ignominious rotrent, I confess Is utterly .beyond my powers of com prehension. It Is n species of party strategy entirely too deep for my con ception, unless It is for tho purposo of constructing n platform upon which somo fnvorito candidate for tho Presi dency may stand wllh safety nnd com fort to himself, or unlc3s it be ns nn old farmer said to mo tho other day, when I asked his opinion of tho "now do pal lure," that somo Impatient Demo crats, seeing tho Iladlcal party going to tho devil on "a down grade with tho brakes off," havo determined to heat them by Jumping on tho "cow-catcher," Qrent laughter. I repeat, I nm not a party leader, nor do I nspiro to bo. I am, nnd expoct to bo, n privato In tho ranks, fighting for tho principles which havo been tho cynosure of my political career through llfefc but if I wcro I should consider myself unworthy cither of your contldonco or respect If 1 failed to speak to you, as I hnvo on this occas ion, frankly, candidly, sincerely, nnd earnestly upon this question. Ap- plauso.J I may be mistake, but my opinion is that tho proud old party I hnvo loved so long will never depart from tho land-marks of her ancient faith. Ap plause. Whatever others may do I havo nn nblding faith "that Kentucky, truo to her ancient prestige, tho first to tho chargo nnd tho last to tho retreat, In overy contest for tho supremacy of the Constitution nnd tho rights of tho several States under it, will never de sert tho standard sho so gallantly flung to tho breeze In 1793. Qreat applause Descending from an ancestory who mado their homes in tho proud old Commonwealth, when it was indeed "tho dark and bloody ground," with tho scalping knlfo and tomahawk gleaning around them, and taught by them from my earliest youth to rever ence, with moro than filial piety, oil tho traditions of her chivalry und her glory, I can ask for her no prouder eu logy from tho pen of history than that, as sho was tho first to clearly and dis tinctly define tho rights of herself and her sister sovereignties, sho went down In tho Vortex of centralization with her glorious colors proudly flying. Orcat applause. Without recapltulntlng tho long cata loguo of usurpations, outrages nnd crimes, ngainst citizens and States alike, which has marked tho careerof llio Usd leal party slnco its accession to power, tho grand results of its ten years of ad ministration may bo summed up ns fol lows: Tiio utter nnd absolute overthrow of our system of Federal Government, through pretended amendments to tho Constitution, procured by forco anil fraud ; and the Introduction into tho representative body of tho pcoplo of a largo and populous element, with Just about as many qualifications for nn in telligent exerclso of tho elcctlvu frun chlso ns a gorilla from tho Jungles of Af rica has to givo Instructions In tho In tegral Calculus or Newton's Principia. Groat laughter and applause. In conclusion, my fellow-citizens, per mit mo to remark that, in ray Judg ment, wo nro upon tho evo of tho last contest for civil liberty. Perhaps for centuries to come, should tho Democracy provo triumphant In that conflict, tho principles of free gov ernment will bo so firmly fixed that nil tho storms of faction that may howl nround them for gencrntlons will not bo nbto to shako them from their base. lAppIause. But If on tho other hand tho Itadlcals should succeed In electing Gen. a rant who will bo their candi date beyond peradventure tlio sun Will perhaps set for tho last tlmo on rcpresentatlvo republican government on this continent on tho 3d of March, 1S73. On tho fourth hU morning beams may dawn upon tho Infant cm pile. In that contest tho Democracy of Kentucky constitutes tho vanguard, tlio advanced skirmish lino. If that truo and' gallant band do theirduty faithful ly and nobly, as I know thoy will, all may bo well. Applause. Remem ber that this is not 11 mcro contest bo tweon individuals, but n contest for principle, it contest for Stato cxistonce, and personal liberty protected by lnw.
