thank you for the confidence thu reposed in
me, and hall not shrink from the responsi
bility of stating, frankly, my opinion. 1 do
not think the organization of any third party
is wise, or can work any practical good to tho
great causo in which we are engaged. In the
very nature of things, when great principles
are at stake, there are, and there can be, but
two effective political parties. "He that if
not for me is against me,'' in jolitius as well
as religion, i a truth ujxjn which everv wise
man is compelled to act. What, then,'is the
great and paramount issue 7 What is that
great and unpardonable wrong for which the
Radical jiarty is now arraigned and should be
overthrown? It is substantially this: In
violation of the Constitution in violation of
pledges made and often repeated, Irom the
lirst battle of Hull Run to the end of thff
war; pledge to the North to get men and
inaney; pledges especially made to the Dem
ocracy to get their supjiort in the Held, and
in the elections; pledge made to the tkuth
to induce them to lay down their anna and
to renw their allegiance; and pledges to
foreign power to prevent intervention in
violation of all these solemn n'.edires. uoon

judgment, and for which it ghould be over

they have abolished all civil government, and
civil liberty, even in these ten States thev
have established five absolute military depo
tisifts, wherein all rights to life, liberty, and
property are subject to the will of one man,
they have kept the Union divided ; they have
prevented the restoration of industry; they

upon the just rights of tho Executive; they
have threatened the independece of the Su

out causo impeached and put uikjii trial the
President himself, and. by every species of
denunciation, and even by threats of assassi
nation, have endeavored to force the Senate
to convict him, in order to place in the Ex
ecutive chair one who will use all its power
to consummate that gigantic wrong against
the Constitution, against our plighted faith,
against civilization, and against our own race
and kindred. Tho Convention in New York
met for the purpose of organizing to over

and to restore the Union and tho Constitu

States under it. Now, I do not ay the nomi

The elements to be organized into a victorious
army were four fold. To use a military figure,
there were four army corps to be organized
into one grand army ; Firtt: The great Dem

Corps; Third: The Conservative Republi

victory is with it. If wc cannot, victory is
against us. In my judgment, it is our duty
to do so. The very life of the Constitution
is involved, and. with it, the rights of the
States and the liberties of the people. I can
not hesitate for one moment; my judgment
is for it; my whole heart is in it. So far
from relaxing, wo should redouble our efforts.
Rear in mind that tho war was ended three
years po, when a new era was oiicncd in io

which supported Lincoln in 1801, but which,
in consequencn of the great wrong nlnivo
mentionod, was ready to sever itself from the
Radical army under General Grant; and
there was the Conservative Republican Corps,
of which you are plea.-cd to speak of me as a
loadur. who, for the same reasons, were ready
to join the Grand Army, and do all in their
power to bring success to our cause. The two
last are tho recruiting corps. They hold the
balance of jiower. As a matter of policy, had
the first been given to a chief of the ono or
of the other, it would have made our victory
more easy, if not more certain. Everybody
knows that the result of this contest is to
depend upon tho important question whether

coming election, were I to hesitate in its can
did support, I feel 1 should not only falsify
ray own record, b:st commit a crime against
my country. I never aspired to the Presi
dency on account of myself. I never sought
its d-'ubtful honors and certain labors and re
sponsibilities merely for tht position. My
own wish was to promote, if 1 could, the
good of the country, and to rebuke the spirit
of revolution which had invaded every sacred
precinct of liberty. Vt'hen, therefore, you
pronounced the statement in question false,
you did exactly right. Principles and not
men, is the motto for the rugged crisis in
which we are now struggling. Had I been
math the Presidential nominee I should have
considered it a triumph, not to me, but to
the principles which I had proclaimed and
pnvjticed. Rut shall I cease to revere thoe
principles because by the action of mutual
jmlitieal friend another ben appointed
to put them in execution? Never! never!!
These, sir, arc my sentiments, whatever
interested parties may say to tho contrary,
and I desire that all may know ami under
stand them. I shall ever hold in grateful
remembrance the faithful friends, hailing from
every section of the Union, who preferred me
by their votes and other expressions of con
fidence, both in and out of the Convention,
and shall do them all the justice to believe
they were governed by patriotic motives;
that they did not propoc simply to aggran
dize my personal fortune, but to save their
country through me, and that they will not
now suffer anything like personal preferences

I learned that sweet oil would cure tlie bite
of a rattlesnake, not knowing it would euro
other kitids of poison. Practice, observation
and experience, have taught me that it will
cure poison of any kind, both on man and
beast. I think no farmer should be without
a bottle of it iu his house. The patient must
take n spoonful of it internally, nnd bathe the
wound for a cure. Jo cure n horse it requires
night times as much as for it man. It is an
antidote for arsenic and strichninc. It will

the odious exemption from taxation. Our
debt would havo been lam, our interest lower,
and our taxes reduced. The hours of labor
could be shortened. What now lengthens
the time of toil f If wo were free from any
form of taxation, direct or indirect, six hours
of work would earn as much as ten doe now.
One hour more of work ought to meet the
laborer's share of the cost of government, an

Iceland. In the cold North Sea. iust below
the Arctic circle, lies the Island called Iceland-
Presenting somewhat the form of an'
ellipse, it occupies an area of about thirty
seven thousand square miles, alfording the
dull diversity of valleys without verdure,
and mountains without trees. Desolation has
here fixed its abode. It broods among the
dells, and looks down upon the fiords, The
rocks and hill-sides are sculptured with signs
of an igneous origin, while the whole island
is still the sport of convulsion. The ground
trembles with the throes of the earthquake;
the Geyser spouts scalding water; the plain
belches mud; while the great Jokuli, clad in
robes of eternal snow true priestof Ormuzd
brandishes aloft its volcanic torch, and
threatens to become the incendiary of tho
sky. .
fhe interior of the island is traversed with
dirficulty even during the summer. Here
may be seen peaks that the Alpine club dare
not climb. The scanty population dwell in
thinly settled hamlets, along the fiords and
streams, leaving the greater portion of tho
territory tn the fox, to the reindeer, snd ino
occasional Greenland bear that Uoats over on
tho berg.
Only two quadrupeds, the mouss and tho
fox, are indigeneous. So sterile is the soil,
and so brief the summer sun. that life is sup
ported only by astrugglc. Indeed the neigh-
wring ocean U mora hospitable than the dry
land for. of the tblrtv-foursneciei of mam
