For the same reason, Canada is receiving but ' 1

I plrilantbropists,and endeavoring todevolvo the"-
revonsibilities of its government upon its
1 - own people, and-leave Congress to the dis
chasrge of its legitimate functions, ' the
President has, in my judginent, acted wise
ly, and deserved the vigorous and united
'support of the Democratic Party. Whatever
may be the determination of its people upon
the, question of the Constitution submitted to
them by Congress, it can - never be revived -
again as an-element in the political affairs of
the Union. ' It has, as was said it. times of
domestic manufacture, been spun beyond the •
strength of the hoot, and it will be treated as ,
I an exhausted and exposed imposture. .Its
adroit Managers may, by the aid of their po
' liticargalvanism, quicken its muscle with a
few spasmodic jerks and twitches, but it can
never be again 'brought to its feet, to. roam
over the country as a - disturber of the public
peace- Those who have endeavored to per- ,
petunteihe'n - tiSchinf4cf this disgraceftil strum

the - wrongs they 'have intliesed' upon the
