tho defender, Webster the expounder,
and of w hich Johnson is the upholder.
Tell them that I know no 'other stand

exact justice to all, special privileges
to none that I have no other political
creed than that given to us bv Wash
ington and Jefferson ; that I believe
in the social superiority and will ever
maintain tho political supremacy of
the white race; that I worship at no
political altar whoso foundations aro
not based upon tho sacred Union of
these immortal States. Tel! them in
advance, for me of Its peril, and con
jure them, by the lovo of past memor
ies, by the blood and cariuigo of our
civil strife, by the dangers of tho pres
ent and by all the hopes of tho future,
to rally to tho support of him who in
this crisis of our country's fatu by a
mysterious providence of (Sod. has

To them ho has appealed in terms of
patriotic devotion to his whole coun
try. Above tho wild storm of preju
dice, fanaticism and treason now ra
ging in the National Capitol, clear
and loud aro heard the words of the
fint Andrew re-echoed by the second,
"The Federal Union, it must be pre
served." They are tho two watch
words of national safety. They t-m-body
the holiest aspirations of every
truo patriot hd afford a platform
broad and strong enough for good
men bf all parties, no matter how wide
their differences of opinion may here
tofore have been. Let us dedicate
ourselves to this great purpose in the
unselfish and unshaken faith ihat its
accomplishment will be its greatest
reward. Let us go forth bearing aloft
the banner of our country, emblazon
ed with tho words, "The Constitution,
the Federal Union." Let tis
appeal
to the whole people, from the North-'
crn border to the Maryland lino, from
our inland sea to the llclawnrc, and if
riublic virtue be not dead, if patriots
o not extinct, if devotion to princi
ple still lives, it treason is still abhor
red, thcii indeed, in October next will
victory, thrieo blessed victory, crown
our ctforts, bringing with it a Consti
tution preserved, a Union restored, a
land redeemed from tho madness and
folly which now threaten to destroy it.
That in some measure I maybe of
assistance in producing such resultit, 1
hnmbly pray. Upon you, gentlemen,
nnd those whom yon represent, I shall
lean lir support and guidance; nnd
appealing to tho God of our lathers
to prosper us 111 all our efforts lor the
redemption and salvationof our coun
try. I may not doubt that triumphant
success will surely crown our labors.
Mr. Clymer wns followed bv Mr.

lips. We arc risin up from our hu

frhnkin tho dust from our garments.
Think of it, Tammany. What a glo
rious sight to sec a brave pcepul lifted
up a whole nation of white folks
rckonsiled. What spirit, what gost,
what inspiration told you how to teach
us ? How did you know that we was
weak where we was strong, in the
samo secret corner of our buzzums ?
You've got us, Tnmmany, and w e'll
respond to you, we'll reinforce you.
We'vo said some bard things, Mr.
Hail ; we've tried to Bkorch, and blis
ter and excoriate, but you see we
wero goaded, cored by bulls Trtim
bulls and Itepubliean bulls. They
bellcred nnd wo paved dirt. They
punched us in the cage, and we grow l

and we kicked. What else could wc
do? Jest think of it Tammany. .Pa

Could we lick tho hand that laid us
low? Nary time no, never. While
wc was Ftrugglin to rise from out the
wreck, to breathe tho air aUtve us, to
take an invoice and seo if there was
enuff left to liv? for, our enemies were
a shoutin hit. him, kick him, mash
him, smash him ngin.
Wo wero then at the bottom, Tam
many. We didn't know there was
nny lower deep, but our enemies were
huntin, and they still are hunt in some
deeper pit to put us in, nnd some pen
dulum of Poo (0 swing and cut tia.
Well, wc uint heathens, we've been

we've got churches and sermons, and
hymn books nnd prayers. We've got
pious old men ami w imnien, nnd brave
hoys nnd maidens, who are fiuiho
all tho way up like tho corners of a
temple. Ood bless 'em, Tammany,
partickler them last, for in connection
with them are centered the hopes of
posterity and the joys of our life.

nllowd to npostrofizo you, you dident
take no side at nil. You cay you can
take the test oath, and fit in. Weill
dont SCO how OXakl W
. .
You run for
Govenor in sixty thrce.nnd you writ a
letter ngin rekonstrucktion and com-
pared the old union toa procelain vase
that icas broke, and conldcnt never be
mended agin no never,
And dout you know if you'd, been
elekted you would have hud to take
the oath of oflice, and bo sworo to
support tho Ct
lederate States
onstitution of the Con-
so called now deceased.
iut you are smart Jo6tina, and it -waa
funny what you said to tho General
that night, w hen he axd you if you
would have taken that oath. You pausd
Joshua for nearly n minit. It was a
tite question, considerin tho
in vase that was broke. I dont
ou for pausin.mv fi iend. Final
ly says you, "Well General I 1
dident much expect to-bo tlek
U'd." Bully for you, Joshua. But
now about that see-saw b'snes you
spoke of; you said in yourspceek that
you was plapin see-saw in politix,and
if your end of tho plank went down
in Georgy it would go up in Washing
ton, by which I suppose you meant
that you was ready to swap ends jest
to suit your pekuliar seckumstance ;
and that's what's the matter agin,
Joshua. You have been seesawin too
long and changin ends too often.
Twasent notime to bo swappin bosses,
my friend.
But see here, Joshua, Mr. Marshall
may be a clever rcporter.but he treat
ed you badly. He's left out a heap of
your speech. Ho ain't had printed
that see-saw figer at all, nnd it was I
assure you a most beautiful metafor
of f-pech. And hes left out them little
sparks of southern patriotism which
you emitted. Ilowsomever, may bo
the? thingii would have been in the
way of tho Washington and of the see
saw. I'll tell you, my friend, whero
you wastod time in your remarks.
You said that if we dident elekt you
now we might want you hereafter,aud '.
then we oouldontgit you. Dont worry
yourself on our akkount. Dont cross,
tho bridge before you git to it. It will .
be time enuf, Joshua. for you to rcfuso.
when we ax you. We havent been .
runinn you down to give you oflls,and
we nint a goin Jo. Do you see-saw
away on your plank, and take good
care that you dont fall olf. You
speech was xortcr spiU'ful,Jothua,and
if reduced'to its cum would read about
thus : "Boys, liri a whale, am, and
Im a prophet, and if you dont elekt
me to to the Senate I'll go to Wash
inton nnd give you the devil."
Well.wo dident elekt him.Mr. Tam
many, nnd the devil may come In
the landgwage of Patrick Henry, "lot.
him come" I repent it, Mir, "let him
come." There was another dandidate,.
Mr. Hall, whoso nanio was Jeemcs
Johnsin. Well, 1 Jikojcems party
well. He dident run nobody down,
nor put on airs. 1 mout have voted
for him if he had lived in tho State,
and 1 linden I liked lkTshel better.
The truth is, I was partial to Jcems
for his "old king sine " Ho was a pow
erful war-horse in hixty one. How
glorious ho figured at tho Columbus
war moetins. llo encouraged tho boys
nniazin, nnd ho beat anybody a gittin
volunteers. How proud was wo of
him that night, when be and Colonel
Suns made friends on tho stand, nnd
U,0 Colonel pin'd a secession coekado
upon Jcems' coat-collar. Ho then got
inspired, and spoke for two hours in
words that breathed of ditches nnd
death, and was full of the spirit of "7C.
His watch-word were "leaning and
iSYv,W)M,''nnd he voted for them both.
Oh, he's a whale in getting up a war.
Alas ! ho were fik semper thou, but he

Tainmanv: I eouldent heln it. How-
