have all .reTurenced it. Its humane prlrici r
Ales, rather,than soil the climate, hale made

pfcrikatives, and disposes, as far as possible,
of all ariif.nial distinctions between men. It
records no single selfish thought; on- the con
trary, its philanthropy is as broad as the
earth. it has made our conntry a father to
the fatherless, a refuge for the pursued aad
prosecuted—the citadel of-freedom. It has
doubled o.ur population, peopled new States,
increased - ppodurtive enterprise. vindicated its
and established the sacred character
of its inHsion. As far as human forecast can
discover,. the only obstacle in the broad road
of empire which Providence seems to have
marked out for us, is the conflict of 'sectional
institutions an interests. if this mint , be
prevented, it certainly need nut be encour

to interfere with the domestic estaldlahrnents

whether sec will it or not.
it is popular power, sir, that has made tie
what we are; it will lead us on to a !dazzling
future. In the mean time, men will have
night-mares, and awake to bl'ssful realities;
prophesies of disastee be made and fal
sified ; fail will fairand be restored; einbar•
rassments will he - interposed and brushed

force of our example. We have a written
history without a parsilel io the annals of
our race.- We have touched tlie disguises of
tyranny as with the spear of Ithoriel. After
siN:thonsand years of unavailing effort, it was
reserved for us_to truthfully map and define
the politiCal attributes of man. In three
quarters Of a century- we have advanced from
a few feeble colonies tonal:wrens and mighty
States. Front the Wilderness we. have carved
out the fruitful field, cultivated the products
of all soils and climates, and fed starvMrt rail
lions. We have built more cities than Thebes
had gates ; invented steamboats and tele
graphs ; made railroads: opened wines; and.
by the aid of the mechanical genius of our
periple, are on the eve of Nupplyiug, the world
with the fruits of our arts. We now stand
iu the front rank of earthly Powers—not as a
nation of warriors,•born to the work of death,
but as a nation of men educated to the trades
of life ; not degenerated and loaded with
chains, but in perre'et stature and unfettered

fish, or the machinations of the wicked? The
public heart responds quickly to the mind.

rises the question: " What du the Ger
mans say r and their voice is respected,
because in their hands lies the balance of
either party. The Democrats used them
in all their triumphs, and this could be
done easy enough, because the Germans
are, as true Teutons, freedom loving.—
Democracy is, in their understanding and
meaning, the best and cheapest, the most
just and the wisest government which any
people on earth can really enjoy ; and
therefore they went f)r years, cheerfully
and faithfully, with their leaders to the
ballot-box, which they considered as the
highest tribunal, where the holy Will of
the people was decided. -.The Germans,
generally, are divided in two columns,
the - " Grays " and the -" Greens." The
former are always wiliiug to follow
Democracy—the " Greens," go with the
Republicans.

support wall true Republican candidates,
