We retract nothing from our principles, and we add to our creed only whit ig required: by the changing circum- stances aud ueeds of, the times, We meau, as we ha fusisied before, that all-of our American soil shall firco soll; thut’ one flag shail fy over all the land and ever everything Aiwerican that floats on the sea as the eymvbol of our uationality; that all shali be free whom ‘tbat flag covers and loyal whom that (lag provects, and Mean to.pay the full price of our unity and liberty. The dearest part of that price we have already paid in our doaress and noblest blood, dralued drop by Grop on -our battle fields, and ‘we shall pay the pecuniary part of that proce dollar for doliar @s we .bave paid drop by drop priceless blood. That is acreed the datelligent, the morality and the pairiotism of the vation will stind by and make good to the last gasp, Gentlemen, our work as a party Femains 'o be Hnished. We have extinguished the blaze of reboliion, but its embers still stuouider in is ashes, ‘We musi trample out its last spark that it may not kiudie again to consume us or our children. The work bez un in 1460 aud renewed in 1864 must now be carried to its compiete consummation. We have pat down the Spurious government created by rebellion, We must Bow construct loyal constitutional governments through- Out the South and restore tuem to their vital relations to the Union, ‘That work would have been completed long ago if assassination bad not strack down our chief, or if hus successor had not proved a traitor to his party, to his Country and to buman liberty itself, The power in our ‘stem of goverument which makes ies makes the 11 i# not the business of the Executive to mako cies or laws, but Ww execate them. The Executive usurped power and endeavored to absorb in bimself all the force of government. [He has thus obstructed and Gelayed that work of recons truction so vital to pros- pen aod to tho safety of the country. It ie our usiness, a8 itis our inflexible purpose, to remove his ebstructious out of the way aad to make good our boast that this ts not a government by will of ono man, but a goveramont of laws, In 1864, as in 1800, wo seem to have been under a Divine guidance in the choice we made of Chiel Magis- trate in 1860.

He made the motion because the Assembly Fules bad been almost tavariably adopted at our State Conventions, and because toey are geuerally considered fo bo best ‘calculated to fa the business of the Dody and secure the greatest sa:isfaction to all. A member moved thut the rules of the Senate be adopted instead, and cailed for the previous question.

How can the German hope that the liberty he here enjoys ‘may one day biess bis fatnerlaud? And Low would fade away Ww every gouerous Irishman the prospect that Emmev's epitaph could be written, for he enjoined his countrymen, with the grave opeuing before him—“When my country shall take her stand among the nations of the earth, then and not tll then, lot my epitaph be writen,” Banish radicalism from the Continent and the bistory of the iast repubiic in Europe bas been written, Why should any boast shera- selves of conservatism? Has it not always stood in the way of the world’s progress? No reformer or dis- coverer but has fouud it coiled im bis path. ‘To-day conservatives iw Eugland and America are using the samo argument—distrust of the masses; and to-day in both countries, radicalism is rejoicing in the same victory. It boldly asserts that six thousand years of tue world’s educauion has not fitted all men and all nations for freedom; that sts simplest rights ean not be ‘enjoyed, nor its bighest duties exercised, except az the result of great mental culture and the highest type of intellect, Weil may we despair if in this age of the world the humbieat of men are not fitted to enjoy the sweets of human liberty, [t is through the heart and not the brain that freedom is to be enjoyed and the hts she secures made perpetual. Jellerson said, ‘ree communities naturaily divide into two parties, one for keeping things as they are, tho other for making them better. While the one is always looking back upon the lights the world has already passed, the otter, with propheuc vision, catches the rays of a new constellation just dawing upon it.” For humanity sweeps onward where today the martyr stands; On the morrow crouches Judas with the silver in his hands; In the van the stake is ready and the livia taggot burns, While the hooting mob of yesterday iu wileat awe returns ‘To gather up the sacred ashes into history's golden uras.

Even in this republic, under the inspiration of the De- clacasion of Independence, siow and tedious has been the recognition of tee rights of maa, Conservatism has always laid ite cold aud clammy hand upow that stow progress. For cany years after the revolution in tnig State none but ireehwiders only could vote, being only twelve or fourteen hundred of the populavion, Af- terwards avy property of tbe value of $250 gave the Tight to vote. Finally radicalism prevailed and all white meu were made tree, Consorvetism denounced the spread of suffrage, and bag been in sackcloth and ash evon to this day, Yeas ago the democratic party in tu State put the black mau where conservatism wanted .o keep the white man, and they themselves settiod for all time the right of the back maa to vole by securing it in the consiitution, only annexing che property qualitication, ‘To tbat organization woick ground tbe rebellion to powder will the people look to remove all the evils Jebnsen bas inflicied.

Let them be admonished by the story of sacred history when Balak wanted to ‘curse me this people, for they are too mighty for me’’ and thrice from the mountain top and once with tace towards the wilderness Buiaam said, ‘How shail 1 curse whom God has not cursed, and how shall [ dety whom the Lord has not defied,’ Thea will Jonn- won, Doolittle & Co, say, as did (Halak, trembling, “1 took thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou bast blest them altogether,"’ Beseecbingly, “neituer curse them at all, nor biess them at ail’?
