Following 'be reading ami adoption of tho

Sir. President, and fellow Deinocra's of t he

that the lateness of the hour precludes me

secured to us by the prer;oii blood oi o ir
fathers in seven yenr.' revolutionarv war,
bould no longer be n j ived. The Demo
crats of our noble si.-ter State of Indiana,
fecond lorn dauabter of the North-west,
have been menaced within the last ten day-,
with a military organization and the bayonet,
to put dow n t heir party. I hold in my hand
a telezraphic dispatch from the capital of
that State.boastit'u of this ii.f anions purpose.
I will read it, gentlemen; because I know
that the same dastardly menaces have been
proclaimed against the Democrats of Ohio,
and because I am here o-day to rebuke
them as tecomes a freeborn man who is r -aolved
to perish Great applause in the
midst ot which the rest of the sei.teuco was
lcat.
Some months ago. a Democratic State
Convention was he'd in Indiana. It was a
Convention of the party founded by Thomas
Jefferson, and built up by a .Madison and a
Monroe, and consolidated by an Andrew
Jackson applause a party under whose
principles and policy from thirteen States
we have grown to thirty-four, for thirty-four
there were, true and loyal to the Union be
fore the Presidential election of 1800 a
, -1 i i .
party under whose wtse ami i.oerai poi.y
the course of empire westward old tawe us
war, Ultil the symbol of American power
the' stars and stripes waved proudly from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, over the breadth
of a whole continent a party .vhich, by
peace and compromise, and through harmony
and wit-dom and sound policy, brought us up
from leeble and impoverished colonies,
struggling in the midst of defeat and disaster
iu The war of the Involution, to a mighty
empire, foremost among the powers of the
earth, the foundations of whose greatness
werr laid, broad and firm, in that noble Con
stitution and tbat grand old Union which
the Democratic pirtv has ever maintained
and defended The Democratic party, with
such principles and such a history and ro
cord to point to, held a State Convention in j
pursuance of its usages for mi.re than thirty 1
years, and under the rights secured by a;
State and Federal Co' Stinition older s'ill. in ,
the capitoi of lhe State of Indiana. And yet. '
referring to this party and its Convention,
the correspondent of a disloyal and pestilent,
but influential newspaper in the chief city of
Ohio, dared to send over the telegrip c
wires.. wires wholly under the military con-
trol of the administration, winch permits
nothing so be transmitted not acceptable to
its censors, a dispatch in these words:
"Tho fellows are frightened, evidently not
without cause."
V11 gentlemen. I know not bow far
Democrats of Indiana miy be fr ghtened
and a nobler and more fearless body of men
never lived but I see thousands of Demo
crats before me to whom fear and reproach
are alike unknown. Frightened at what?
Frightened by whom?
We are made of
sterner stun. 1
"The militia of the State," he aide," will
probably be put upon a war fooling very
shortly."
And who, T pray, nre the militia of the
State? They arc not made tip of tho leaders
of the Republican party in Indiana or Ohio,
I know. I never koew that sort of politic
ians to go into any such organization, in
peace or in war. No men have ever been
more bitter and unrelenting in thnir onoosi -

laughter and cheers.) surrounded by these,

ed that 'for nineteen years he had labored to
take nineteen States out of the Union.' And

1 the city 0f Washington,

and b ib:es of eighteen mouths are takan out

The next day. or soon after, this same Wen
dall Ptiillipsdid dina with or w3 otherwise
entertained by his Excellency the President
of the United States, who related to him
one of his choicest anecdotes. Yet Demo
cratic editors, Democratic Senators and Re
presentatives, and those holding other offi
cial positions by the grace of the States or of
the people, are 'traitors' forsootb, because
they wonld adhere to their principles and
organization of their noble aad patriatic old
party! Such are some of the exhibitions
which Washington has witnessed during the
past winter. Congress, too, has been in ses-
sion. Sir. I saw it announced in one of the
disloyal papers of this city yesterday, that
Jeff. Davis; and Toombs, and Yancey, and
Rhett, and other secessionists of the South,
would derive much comfort from this day's
meeting.
Well, sir, T have just como from a body of
men which I would not for a moment pre-
tenn to compare tor statesmanship, respect- i
ability or patriotism, with this Convention. !
That body has devoted its time, and aiten-
tion to doing more in six months, for tho
cause of sece-sionism, than Beauregard, and
Le, and Johnston, and all the. Southern
G-neralg combined have been able to acenra-
plish in one year. Said a Senator from tho
South the other dav, a Union man: JefJ.
Davis is running two Congresses now, nnd is
making a d d sight more out of the Wash-
ington Congress than the one at Richmond.'
Laughter, and many remarks of approval.
The legislation of that b ly has been ai-
most wholly for the 'Almighty African.'
