Fatherland Invincible around thee spread A fellowship of glorious dead Guarding their Fatherland 1 And I that common share 1 tread thy eoil and thy air My Fatherland Oh let this heart it be Stijl beat and My dear dear Fatherland of Moss asad of fellow citizens I came by your city of Baltimore rather by accident than otherwise and I take it that I am here in this Democratic stand rather by accident than otherwise i am here low citizens in the honest pursuit of ciple which I followed through a of public life I d the principles which are involved m this cans ass for the Presidency identical with those for which Mr Clay struggles in 1850 I regard the position that Mr Lincoln occupies identical with the position that they we contended in 1816 and I regard the of AIi Douglas as nothing but that of a tender to a Lincoln e If Mr Lincoln comes forward with a Republican and owing as that in the legislation ot this try they Mill prevent the extension of slavery and that they will abridge the equality that exists between uss and the people of the free States he touches a nerve which vibrates through the whole body of the because lie touches that which makes us freemen Whenever the people of State shall be willing to ignore a in which this principle is involved then I say they will be willing to be and they will deserve after- wards always to be treated as and they will be Applause If we cannot come up to this contest of ples now then we ought to pass resolutions of Hemy Clay and of Webster and of men who bore the same banner in the fight of 1850 What was the pi established in You have heard it spoken of as the principle of I ara a vention I am a these men are and Mr Douglas says he is a and is struggling for the principle of What is the principle of Why it is the converse of the proposition that Mr Lincoln holds who would intervene by Congress and restrict thp from going into the terri tories with his slave It was declared in 1850 that whether Congress possessed that power or not it was not to be cised but that the people of a territory were to be left without interdict on the part of Congress to settle in the territory in a of state but that they came to form a State that then they were to come into this Union with or without slavery as they chose We all agreed to it 1 was here in 1852 when the Whig Convention met somewhere in the lower part of your town and agreed to it The Democratic party of that day agreed to it and we have stood by it ever since Here the institutions of Kansas were formed and formed to suit themselves and with the of the fact that Kansas is to be a free State the Republican party does not finish its mission It is untrue to its origin It now extends its basis it now makes a new declaration that it to see to it that there shall be no more Slave States and to see to it that whenever a territorial government is organized that slavery shall be restricted and kept out of that territorial government What this That I with my property cannot emigrate to a tory ot this country as a man from a free State can emigrate to it with his ty I sword in the front of the fight to acquire this very territory and have paid taxes here and to pay the debts that v ere contracted at the close of the can war I can neither go myself nor my son to that country upon the same equality with a man who never paid a cent of taxes may go from a free State Will you submit to it Will the people of the Slave States sub- mit to it That's the question that pre- sents itself between us and those licans Where does Douglas present himself 1 Heroines along and says well it may be that the of is all may be that Congress not restrict you from going into a tory but I have a machine for which I took out a patent myself that does the same work Laughter The people of a have the same rights he says that the people of But I say they have riot I say under the law they have say under the Constitution they have say under the decision of the Supreme Court they have say under the dictum of the wisest jurist country produced they have say the man who says they have don't understand the law of the case and Do j on lose the right of self-government when you cross the border I I reckon that when I go into Kansas and find Kansas with a Constitution that 1 must govern myself according to that ir Congress then cannot interfere with my right how can Congress create a government that can interfere ith it How does Mr Douglas make the creature Congress better than Congress itself ho ever heard of a creator endowing his with more than he had That is the idea that Mr Douglas is trying to instil into the public mind When the people of the holding States become gentle under this Ion ger treatment I tell you they are no fit to be a free people 1 am here on this stand without regard to thuse who surround me to express my views on this principle with the of and ith the earnestness of a Kentucky man I part numbers of my beat friends who will continue m the support of Bell aud ett and Bell and maintain the same on the subject that i do but this rupture that has occurred in the Democratic ty has brought this question up to the surface Vv e see Douglas on one flank and John C Breckinridge on the other and Bell and Everett are going offin another direction ignoring the Yact that there is any contest at all What are these the principle that have been invaded about which we have been dis- puting for ten years past I answer they are Were they v 01 thy of a contest Certainly They brought into the arena the best minds of this country and the very pillars of our Union rocked and trembled to their very basis in that con- tests If these can spread whether by holding out the a homestead would be unsafe through the night My home my Birthplace the place where my family is and under whose sod my farnily have slept for three where my parents sleep and where I to sleep the sleep myself that knows no w ould be a desert and a wilderness And do these nien pretend that if they were going to up a dissolution uf the Union that they would prick up an offshoot of a signer of the Declaration of Independence in order to effect it These men could not receive a broader or surer guarantee that we mean to preserve the Union than by selecting as John C Breckinridge Old Joe old J man who has bared tha country's enemies man whose life has been spent on its very nomination is the ing of a bond to keep the peace and the balance of the country j After alluding further to the of disunion bi ought against and Lane Mr Marshall said we have no currency questions or bank questions to talk about now In your own cratic party men arc to be found upon all uf these measures The principles that are upon us now effect our person and they effect the inheritance that we are to leave to oar children I care ing for association but I go my principles lead me Wherever the power is with the equality of the Stales and the equality of the or the States I follow it no matter into what associations it carries me Every man who strikes a blow in that army is my brother and I grapple him to my heart with hooks of steel Lowe of Maryland who w 5th immense applause Once more I h ivo the honor to stand on this spot consecrated not only by the memory of those illustrious men w hose heroic is inscribed in letters on j onder marble ment but cons still more because it has become historical by the assemblages of this great people for more than a quarter- of a century to consult upon the great destinies of their country Often fellow Lv from this ery stand to address a united Democracy and I should be false to the emotions of my heart this I should believe the everlasting truth of an honest nature if I were to conceal from the profound and inextinguishable sorrow which burdens my heart when I reflect that on this night which will be ever memorable in your future as of a campaign that must decide your destinies for weal or for woe I for the first time address a divided Democracy I had that a benign Providence would me the inexpressible grief that now oppresses my soul when for the first time in my humble political career 1 stand before the people of the Monumental city and feel that those were once brothers may not now regard i not now re ment of place te our ambitious men of me with an approving smile But position to our political men of reward n to our men of ease to our placid and quiet men if they can intro every man who hath come forth from the hand of God has his appointed work to a high to hp duce division upon those principle of the dare not shrink from its fall ill Why are you here De Ukc thai ot the tainted leaf m rT i Have jou come to respond to the notes ber when it is no longer lit to face the of the old bugle that rallied you to so ot nn mir 1 breezes of heaven I am on my way to my own home God know I may part with all my associates I may part with all the political party that has reared me and me but I will go before my people and speak to them as 1 speak to you to-night and my feet shall no rest and my eyes shall scarcely know sleeping until I shall feel that the ment of my State is all right upon this great question I would say one word in parting with the men who have acted with me because I look to Baltimore for a great many many in the You have of Baltimore without regard to political distinction gravely seriously aye and with a deep conviction of the high responsibility that in this solemn crisis rests upon every man of every condition in have come I saj as a council of patriots to consult one with the other as to the course which you shall pursue towards the of the highest of our native land tlemen since this first organized upon the fresh blood of the patriots who hud the foundation of its freedom there has been no such issue and no such crisis presented to the con- 1 a -i friends I believe that 1 false to m and you will be false to selves if you do not come up and meet J this issue like men They may be such sideration the careful investigation and men among you but I tell you that these the honest decision of a free people men in the hour of danger and time of r i aVrA when a whole section of In this mighty States of f brief words in plain word and in earnest word 1 have told you the principle upon which this canvass will turn I have the South with their two only truly and absolutely reliable sisters the Pacific Dn m States of Oregon and California heard men say that m order to preserve and supported by the the Democratic let them susane an y te the Democratic organization let them voice of the sound conservative minorities h T J Ot that but of the led on by such men as when I did whenever you do that Ballet the author of the Cincinnati I am caught m a Caleb Cushing the Whenever you do that you both President of the Charleston and Institute sides of the sapling the hue of the one Conventions Ben j F Butler being white and that of other being Franklin Pierce Daniel S Dickinson black As regards Breckinridge and j and a host of say Lane one word Who is when they and you exclaim I have known him ever since he was a claim We love the Democratic boy as 1 did his father before him and ation as we love the cradles in which if ever the was if ever there was clean stock of it M then gave sketch of Mr i the speaker In of mv he is we rock our children we of that party which has far pre and therefore we cannot and we will not compromise our rights away again as was done forty years ago and too often such a voice as that comes up 10 my ear from the Democracy I then say to Mr Douglas and those who sustain him if we must part upon principle let it be in peace and without the anger of old Stand by the side of your favorite date We stand oy no man's side but upon the constitutional rights of eigh States And now gentlemen we must come down rapidly for the speedy flight of time admonishes me that I should not detain you much longer cries of go on go vre now come down to the last said drama before now I say edy f What is the reason gentlemen that the great body of the Southern States and the confederacy of the North refuse to sustain Mr Douglas for the Presidency Because say it in all kindness of spirit fur as Heaven my witness i it and while 1 give to niy opponents credit for sincerity 1 claim the same for myself and as 1 claim it 1 exact the honesty of my own com lotions be they rights or wrong I believe that the great heresy of popular sovereignty or that which ter known as squatter sovereignty by Douglas is in practical result as it certainty is in principle the twin sister of the Wilmot and as 1 repudiated Van Buren twelve years ago toi the same heresy although it gives me great pain to do it uow with so gallant a leader as Douglas has been I am com- to-night under this blue py that down upon with its searching eyes that speak ity I am compelled 1 say to repudiate him now X f- s- is the difference between a Wilmot and squatter sovereignty which excludes slavery by the force of Emigrant Aid Societies Then you want a e code I interference to establish slavery What a misapplication We want the ten people to undertand their Constitutional duties and obligations as laid down by the Supreme Court and if they attempt to violate them then w e say it is duty of Congress to use its Con- authority m the way that may appear best when arises even though it become necessary to ern the Territory as in the days of hington Adams Jefferson Madison j Monroe by the direct authority of the Federal eminent administered through its own A Territory which violate Constitutional would be rebellious and could not com- plain oven of so extreme a measure which 1 admit could only be a last resort The Senate resolution w hich are substantially the same as the Charleston majority re- port upon now stands as a platform were voted for by you I want the ends of the crowd to thirty-five Democratic Senators six of w from w ere from the free States and the gallant Joe Lane one of them and Stephen A Douglas with Senator of Ohio stood alone in opposition to They say dow n w ith the tion 1 am not here to say up with it I am hare to discuss principles not men but 1 say this that it is a remarkable that by the side not in advance of not over the heads of but by the side of the thirty-five Democratic Senators stood the venerable President of the Uni- ted States who four years ago received your suffrages backed by the eight bers of his Cabinet three of them from the free States and an overwhelming majority of the Democratic members of the House of Representatives and the great body of Southern people most a unit on this question and the sound conservative men of the And against all these expounders of De- stood Douglas and y Sir they may call me disunionist but Heaven forbid in the sentiment of an eloquent Webster that I shall ever live to see that sacred veil rent like the veil of the temple of Jerusalem from the top to the bottom under the tempest of divine wrath awakened by our national sins Long may I be gone before that awful chasm of dissolution is opened up to the weeping eyes of a ruined nation Yet when the Constitution is the ground work on which we stand by the decision of the Supreme Court if we are to go down into a common grave we will go down with the Constitution for our coffin and the flag of the Union torn as it may be for our shroud and 1 shall rest with my kith and kin of the great South The responsibility of that dire calamity will not be on us Yes sir 1 proclaim it it go forth upon the wings of the wind to the South and North that I for one repudiate unconstitutional compromises ever juore ever v j j One special -word to my j 1 that yoa arc true to the Con- j

you to show by your actions speak louder than words that you will stand by your Southern in this the day of their trial and the day of their bitter tribulation for f tell you that the black cohorts of false republicanism with their banners in the air and their insolent drums beating are coming down upon your border You ore the frontier State you will your breasts to any and every storm before c can reach the plains of your brethren in tho South Let us all on bended knee pray God that this terrible ordeal may never conic But let us ako calmly and with ty with with truth take oar stand upon the everlasting principles of the tion just where the Supreme Court has placed and say to our misguided brethren of the North who follow Lincoln's dark banner wo you here from the border We arc not fire-eating of whom you have so great a- we are not of those whom you are ed to call secessionists and We know that the first blood of a war would sink into our soil and the tion of civil discord would light up our We have nil to risk and all to loose and we warn you not to seek power at tho brink of a precipice I believe there is jtt enough patriotism in the North to respond to South seat au
