Again we are iu tho . great struggle 'for national life. We hear the sounds of preparation the Jmusic of tlio boisterous drums thu allvor oiceoflhe heroje bugles.

We see them part from those they jovc. Soc.-? ere, walking for the last time in quiet woody places with lho maidens they: adore. : We hear tho whisperings and the Biveet vows of eternal luve as they lingcringly part forever. Others are bending oyer cradles kissing babiesthat are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old men. Some are parting who hold them uud press them io their hearts agaiti and again, and say nothing; and some are talking with wives, and endeavoring with brave words spoken in the old tones to drive from their hearts the awful fear. We thon part. We see the wife standing ia tho door, with the babe iu her arms standing iri the sunlight sobbing at tho turn of the road a baud 'wavesshe ans wers by holding' hi-"in her loving hands the child. He iiigotieand foreve, We sco them ,all as .they march proudly away under the. flaunting flags, keeping time to the wild, grand music., of war matching down the streets of the great cities, through, the1 town and across tho prairies down ,to the fie Ms of glory, to dj and to die for the eternal right.- 1 ' ' 1 i We go with them one and all.

Tho wand of progress touches tho auction block, the s'lavo pen, tho whipping post, and we tee homes and firc-JiJ- , and school houses and books, and where all was want, aud crime, and cruelty, aud fetters, we see the faces of the free. These heroes are dead. They died for liberty they died lor us.

They sleep beneath .ho'shadows of the clouds, careless alike of the syn shiue or of storm, each in the will dowless palace of rest. ; Earth may run red with other wars they are at peace.

While Gen. George A. Sheridan, of Louisiana, was speaking Monday night on the West Side, ho was interrupted by an adopted citizen with this ques tion t .-.V-W hut is tho matter wid the Dimoctatic party any way!'' (nick as .lightning Sheridan turned from tho lino of argument that ho was pur.uiug and gave an answer to his interrupter which all who heard it will remcrnbor ns long as they livo. It was as fol lows : . .. ; ' '. "What is the matter with the Dem ocratic party ?" I will tell you my frieud. Tho Democratic party was born under planets that were in op position. ' It lives in the objective case. Like a mule, "It has no prido of ancestry; no hopo of posterity ?" It never originates anything. It shines by borrowed light. " I-t has never been joined in honest wedlock to a princi ple, but lived for years in open adul tery with a harljt called Slaverv ; lived with her fill she tlrod of corrup tion and was buried amid the sobs and groans of her paianiour. "Tho" atmos phere that surrounds Democracy is full of noxious vapors that breed moral pestilence aud death. , The siiiixiiever shines through it; vico seeks its shadow and corruption grows lusty under its unholy iuiluence. Springs of nuritv aro never' fotiud: in Democracy. Ita waters are . torpid, , lifeless covered with filth and scum with which stag nant pooh, and moveless waters al ways offend the eyes of men. The soil which Democracy has cultivated has failed to yield harvests of vaUie to the nation, hut has given crops of worth loss weeds and briars.
