gave to them his whole fortune, which en

iNow, with the aouth opposed ot Judge

lou are devoted to him becauc ot his

tho Democratic party more than all men ;
to your political judgment, men are nothing
unless they carry out your principles ; you

country. Thcis any man, however gifted,
however wise, however able, must give
way iu our hearts when ho hinders the
suoces? of those principles on which we
believe the future well being of our coun

ty and throwing away all chance of suc

ou and I fellow Democrats, must judge
and act. I found a very large majority of
tae Democratic btates unalterably opposed
to Iniu. " lis true, tis pity, pity tis 'tis
true." I found him iu a bitter l'cud with a
Democratic administration, and without
earing to inquiro which is to blame for it,
such conflict is not a help to Democratic
votes iu a closely contested election, espe
cially wheu the Democracy desire to carry
tho State of Pennsylvania, when to say the
least that administration has both prestige
and power. I found also that Judge
Douglas was in oppoitiou to almost the
entire United States. No matter who is
and stupidly continue voting for Douglas.
If you lovo him more than Domoerntic
principles, then I did misrepresent you.
If you arc Douglas men and not Demo
crats, then I have offended. If you prefer
thu man to his party, his defeat and your
political ruin, rather than success under
soma conservative national I)emocrat,thon
have I offended. Rut if you cherish your
principles first, your party next, and men
last if you love your country, and are,
as patriots, ready to lay your personal
preferences on the altar as peace offerings
to the genius of American Democracy a
sacrifice for the prosperity aud glory of
tho Union then you have boen most
truly aud firmly, consistently and fully

what is to be done at Baltimore ! To that

The seceding States will conio back and

We shall nominate some ono ot tho doz

MY CHILD'S STORY.
Tell me a story, please a Rib
story," cried my little girl to me this morn
iug ; and as I looked in the c igerface, and
smoothed the shining curls, I thought that
for once I would not speak of tho holy
child Jesus, the little Samuel, or the son
of the lonely widow. So I told my listen
ing Nellie of the Apostle Paul j how, after
God hud taught him by a wonderful mira
cle to love and serve his Saviour, he led r.
life of trial, and trouble, and hardship;
how ho fasted often in the wilderness, w r
shipwrecked on the sea, was persecuted bv
wicked men for the sake of his dear Lord ;
and how he suffered all gladly, rejoicing
that he was found worthy to enduro "for
Christ's sake I '
And then, while my darling's eyes gr"
sad with her sweet child's sympathy, and
the lips were pressed together, that thfi
quivering might not betray holt the little
hsart was moved, I added : " And wbnl
do you think this noble good man said t
his dear friends during such a life of pain,
and trouble, and toil for our Saviour s
sake !"
I should think," said my Nellio simply
and earnestly, "I should think he would
pray to God to let him die ; he was so
good ho mu't have been fit for it."
" No, my child, ho did not pray to di' ;
