for the lat four yeats, to prolong its ex rt

j the fundnmeutal princiii'es of our govtru

tauoe of established. J he accusation is un-
founded and absurd. It cannot Lu eiiter
taiueil fyr a moment by any intelligent voter
who has tha me8t superficial knowledge of
the history of Ids country. The Democratic
p.ffy can proudly point to every page of its
rtcoiil. It Vut never violated a aiu ! t. li

Fellow Democrats, you are fighting for a
good and righteous cause. You have for
your leader a tried statesman, a patriot who
tfcood by the Union in the darkest hour, a
mau t.jually beloved for purity of (rivate
character as for his public virtues. Opposed
to you are the men who have subverted the
structure of their own system of self-government,
vindicated to the world by more than
half a ecr.tmy of prosperity aud greatness;
the men who have increased our enormous
debt by prolligacy and corruption unparal
leled ; the men who, i& two successive Coa
gresses, have demonstrated their incompeten
cy to diminish our burdens by economy, or
apportion them with equity; the men who
have distributed our burdens, that press with
excessive weight upon the labor and indus
try ef the country, by making poor meu
poorer. Opposed to you are the men who
have denied, for three years of peaco, (and
will continue to deny until your vote3 arrest
them), self government to the people of ten
States ; the men who have taken away the
power of the Chief Magistrate to ensure a
faithful execution of the laws, or command
the atmy and navy of the United States; the
men who did their worst to expel the Presi
dent from the White House for obeying
faithfully the behests of your supremo law ;
the men who, being conscious of their crimes,
dreaded to have the Supreme Court declare
their quality, and therefora abridged its ju
risdiction and silenced its voice ; the men
who have usurped and are grasping and
wielding powers not pesssessed to-day by
any monarch among civilized nations.
Against these men and all their despotic
purposes, which General Grant would bo aa
powerless to hinder as the man they elected
four years ago has been against these men .
their crimes in the past, their nefarious de
signs on the future you are soon to make
one final and determined onslaught. Four
years ago we failed to expel them from pow
er, although we predicted. then, as we now
predict, their Incompetency to give the peo
ple peace ; declaring then, as we now declare,
the revolutionary purposes of their most act
ive leaders, who ruled tho party as they
wenld ru! tk ceontry, with ditpotle iway.
But these four year3 have justified out
warning. Ottr worst predictions are their
cnactracnts imw. Vv'h.tt we have f-artd they
have. done. The revolution has tr.a-h: steady
progress. Onca njoro wo call every j.-atriofc
to j-.iu our ratks. If the people will now
rise in their majesty and might, they can
save th-ir institutions and rebuild them. If
they are supine and regardless of their sacrea
iutere.-ts, (so much in the last four v;-ars had
bom acconjvlisl-.od.and ?o much in" the next
four years maybe accumii.-t.etl, mi obsta
cle then remaining, that revchjtiou becomes
a fixed fact the structure of our govern
merit wiil have been comolelety remodelied.
It may be a overnniont still, but it will no
longer te your rertecutativc self-govern
taent.
FK this final ctruch', th.cn, J'low Dem
ocrats of the United States, let us nerve every
ratiFcIe and invigorate every heirt. The
time is short the foe is stubborn and des
perate. Our victory would be the death
blow to the liej-ubliean party. It could
have been held together by no ether nomi
nation. Tr cannot survive y ur successful
assault. Your triumph in Novfn-.lr will
Cniliy re-establish tle Union aad (.Vntnitti

but it is soon over, and they bear no mal
ice. When Mr. Lincoln was murdered,
they would have hanged fifty Surrntt's
had there been fifty to hang ; but Mr.
Lincil.i has be.u dead ;t longtime, justice
was djne on his aclual asfCEti, the
Americans havs
:n moliiiod, an 1 since
f-,r from retain that John Surratt
was guilty, tho most poatic course was to
let him have the benefit of the doubt.
Dy this time tho vast majority of the
Americans have arrived at a conclusion
! i-i . . I . 1 1 .. ...
which po.iucai men cir.uicu oiny to
whisper with bated breath, so long as the
Northern States were convulsed from end
to end by horror and angr at tho slaugh
ter of their President. Too conclusion is
duplex. It amounts simply to this, that
Mrs. Surratt ought never to have been
bunged and that John Wilkes IJ jojh was
mad. Tho cVi lemc against Mrs Sirratt
was of the tiiinsiest description. That
she knew the assassin more or less inti
mately was proved ; but there was abso
lutely nothing to show that she was ac
cessory to Mr. Lincoln's murder, either
before or after the fact. Ail efforts, how
ever, made to save the life of the unhappy
woman were ia vain. Even had Mr.
Johnson been desirous of pardoning her,
or of commuting her sentence to life-long
imprisonment, it is doubtful whether, in
the excited condituii of the public mind,
he would have ventured to exercise the
prerogative of mercy. A numerous sec
tion of society was enraged that through
the affray in which he lost hid life. Booth
himself bhould have escaped an ignomin
ious death on a public scaffold ; and in a
most unwise and ungenerous proclamation
Mr. Stanton openly accused Mr. Jefferson
Davis, just then a prisoner in Federal
hands, of complicity in the assassination
plot. The cry of "blood for blood" was
universal ; and had Mr. Davis been tried
by court martial at Washington in the
summer of 18G5, there can be but little
doubt that he woultl have been sentenced
to death. Now, that the American pub
lic have had time to reflect on the circum
stances of the murder of Mr. Lincoln,
and now that the real history of the affair
ia known, none but the most fanatical
anti-Southrners would dream of insinua
ting that Jefferson Davis was in any way
concerned in ay way even cognizant of
the murderous plot which succeeded so
wofully at Ford's theatre, and miscarried
so strangely at Mr. Seward's house.
With regard to Booth himself, it is fully
time to acknowledge il.o fact that the
murderer was mad. Those who had seen
him in Canada during the autumn of 18G t
must have Been convinced of the man's
insanity, which was partially hereditary,
and to some extent aggravated by immod
erate indulgence in stimulants. Booth
was not in the remotest manner associate 1
or connected with any of the Confederate
leader?. He Ti iis a murderer 4'on hiaewu
hook." He had accomplices it is true;
but, excluding Dr. Mudd and Mrs. Sur
ra tt from the category, they were niore
hired bravoe, probably paid by Booth to
do his Lidding:, and, in themselves, the
most abject and squalid refuse of human
it'. The wild scheme of destroying: at
one blow the President and his Cabinet
had, in all likelihood, been hatched solely
in the distempered brain of John Wilkes
Booth, and was imparted only at the last
moment to the abandoned wretches whom
he. employed to assist Lira. With the
liberation of John Surratt tha curtain falls
on the Inst scene in one of the sadden
dramas ever played on the stage of life.

A Finny Incidknt When Horatio
Seymour w.s Governor last time, a negro
was iiaveling the country to procure aid
for suffering negroes iu the South He
came into one cf the central New York
cities, and sought an audience to address.
A prominent lawyer's wife was instrumen
tal in gelling up a large audience for the
charitable object. This I idy was a zeal
ous and active co-labcrer in the Episcopal
church, and knowing G overnor Seymour
well, having met him several times at the
various Episcopal assemblies, Bhe always
advocated, though an intense Republican,
the election of Abraham Lincoln and
Horatio Sej mour, as being her beau ideal
of worthy public men. The ne?ro orator,
in the assembly gotten up for him, detail
ed A long, rambling and incoherent state
ment of the enffeiings of the colored peo
ple down S mlh, and then pxurs ed to
receive contributions. The said lady
came forward and liberally gave to the
cause. Alter awhile, the negro, not see
ing the plate heap up so high a pile as he
wished, commenced : "Brudden and
eistern, tils won't do. Y'ou must come
down more dan dat, as it won't pay my
'spensea. Why, brudden, 1 was to Alba
ny de odder day, wen even Governor
Seymour, dat ar great copperhead Gov
ernor, guv nie a $50 greenback ; now,
what ye 'spose Christians ought to do wen
he does dat V' This made a decided
sensation, whn the good lady, who got
up the nsscmbly, bolted out, saying as she
left the house, "I wish I had not given
that insolent negro one cent." Her hus
band, n staunch Democrat, she forgot to
take along when she went. -He saj's he
was very much nno3red at the slight, and
that Lis wife ought to have paid some re
spect to his feelings if she had none for
the darkey.
A Sad Story. One of the saddest
stories we ever read was that of a child in
Switzerland a pet boy, just as yours,
roader whom his mother, one bright
morning, riggerl out in a beautiful jacket,
all shining with silk and buttons, gay as a
mother's love could make it, and then
permitted him to go out and play. He
had scarcely stepped from the door of the
Svvis9 cottage, when an enormous eagle
swooped bira from the ground, and boro
him to his nest, high among the mountains
and yet within sight of the house f which
he had been the joy. There Le was
killed and devoured, the eyiie being at a
point which was literally inaccessible to
man, so that no relief could be afforded.
In tearing the child to pieces, the eagle
so placed tbe gay jacket in the nest that
it became a iixture there, aud whenever
the wind blew it would flutter, and the
sun would shine on its lovely trimmings
and ornaments. For years it was visible
frora the lowlands, long after the eagle
had abandoned her nest. What a sight
it roust have been for the parents of the
victim.
A Strange Mory.
The financial crisis cf 1S57 dstes the
commencement of many Sad tales'. The
following story, related to us by a New
Yrk detective, is a romance. For obvi
ous reasons we withhold the names of the
parties concerned : The village of Lyons,
in the State of New York, was the resi
dence, in 1857, of a wealthy retired
merchant, his wife, and only daughter,
who was at that time younjr, handsotn
and accomplished. She had been reared
with all the advantages love conld suggest
or wealth command. She wan enlaced
to a promising young lawyer, to whom
she was to have been married the follow- I
ing winter.

numberless attempts, succeeded in crocus

A Lakf. Caitim Saves the Lives ok
Twenty-One Pehsont. The fearless and
truly heroic action of Capt. Louis Borde
wicth, of the schooner J. Hibbard, during
the late stormy weather, which created
ftich havoc among the ehipping on Lake
Michigan, deserves more than a passing
notice. On Friday last, when the steam
er Milwaukee went ashore, Capt. Borde
wicth was one of the first to man a boat
and go to the rescue of the passenger".
He saved not less than seventeen persons
from the wreck of the steamer, making
three trips and risking his life each time.
On the following day (Saturday, tho 10th
inst ,) Capt. Bordewicth witnessed from
the pier at Grand Haven the capsizing of
a fishing-boat belonging to the port of St.
Joseph, by which four men were precipi
tated into the water, "One of tho life
boats of the ill-fated steamer Milwaukee,
which had escaped destruction, was at

fishermen out of the water, about one-

was pounded to pieces. Thu, through
the noble daring of one mm. twentv-one

Reasons fou Getting Marrif.d. A
story is told of a man who got married
because he had inherited a four-post bed
stead ; and of another man who got mar
ried because he had bought a piece of silk
cheap at a sale, and wanted a wife to
give it to. A bachelor acquaintance of
ours is aliout getting married for no either
reason than to have some one t j take care
of him when he is sick. The treatment
that he received at a fashionable boarding
house the last time he bad the fever and
ague has cured him not only of single life,
but single bedsteads and matroses. He
ordered, he says, the servants to briug him
some gruel on Monday morning, which
he never got until tbe following Wednes
day afternoon. During his whole sick
ness not a single soul visited him, save
the young gentleman who cleaned the
knives. He came not for the purpose of
consolation, but to inform him that "Mis
sus would be much Obliged if the gentle
man would do his shaking on a chair, so
a? not to get the bedstead apart."
