SPEECH OF HEHBY S. FITCH, ESQ., tJ, S. DIS
TRICT ATTOEHEY
At the meetingrif the adherents to the pres
ent National Admini.tOation in the city of
Chicago, Illinois, on the evening of the
23 d of July, ISAB.
It is not my intention, gentlemen, at this
late hour, to dctain*you more than a very
few minnhm. Wc nrwrm tUt’ -ttve of Tmcx
citing, important, trenchant campaign in Illi
nois, for the election of Stato officers, State
Legislature, ami Congressmen. The people
arc divided into three distinct parties, and
present for tho suffrage of electors,three dis
tinct tickets-*—tho Republican, the ‘Douglas
and tho National Democratic. This meeting
has USt'n t Ailed to'ratify and endorse the lat
ter, aud to present to the public a few of opr
reasons for so doing. I say reasons, plain,
solid reasons. Our appeal is to your judg
ment. We have not the taste, nor tho train
ing, nor the trickery, to substitute for the
merits of (Lis controversy a melange of firc
woiks and sophistry. The rhetoric of rock
ets and tho logic of Roman lights are the
political patents of Douglas. We leave him
to the enjoyment of his persuasive pyro
technics. [Cheers.]
We are opposed to (lie Republican party,
ns being bpjy one of the psotean shapes of
the old hereditary enemy that Democracy
has fought for half a century. We are op
posed to their principles as repugnant to the
peace, welfare, and good will of’ the Repub
lic.- We are opposed to their leaders as be
ing tho lawless, vulpine and unsciupulous
devotees of sectional fanaticism. We. ate
opposed to its entire bi'ganiz;ftion, front core
to Circumference, as being the jiolitical em
bodiment of a pharasnical philanthropy, with
out a single Christian or patriot trust. t
As an affiliator of this party and as a dis
organizer of the Democracy, we are opposed
to Judge Douglas and his paitisaus. 1 shall
not attempt, on this occasion, to enumerate
the achievements of Mr. Douglas, as that dis
tinguished Senator has hiniijgji’ given so many
masterly elucidations of this subject, that if
would be Fully in a less enthusiastic admirer
to essay so exhausted a topic. That ttie
Judge is otto of the greatest of is a
fact within his own knowledge, and the gal
lant frankness with which he imparts this in
formation to his auditors cannot be too high
ly commended. [Applause, and cries of
“ Coot **] Any one who has had the pleas- ]
tire of hearing one of his late speeches, has
heard a far finer autobiography of the orator
than any 1 could give. As -to his patriotic
virtues—even the Times —the Judge is not
the idol of himself nlonc—though happiest’
in fiction, has tailed to do him justice.
The -simple question for us it, what is the
Judge-’s position, what its merits as discussed
iu his opening speech of this campaign? I
cannot approach this speech without involun
tarily admiring the delicate modesty with
which lie l&ftlyalluGes to his own gigantic
services iu defonding this great principle
that underlies our Tree institutions. The en
tire absence of all egotistical and complacent
allusions to self, ot all boastful platitudes
and personal vanities which characterized
this speech, is exceedingly .refreshing, and
reminds us of the best efforts of the late Mr.
Benton.
. “ This Duncan
Hath bore his faculties so. meek, hath been
So clear in his-greut office, that h'lajrirtues
WiH phnd like angels, ti umpet-tongued*
against
The deep damnation of his taking off.” •
I Applause.‘j
From the Democratic Articles of Faith he
culls out some pleasant points for parade.—
lie sttstfljius the Dred- Scott decision ; a citi
zen ofctho -United Ft,ntes could hot conven
iently do less than uphold the calm, convin
cing judgment of so august a tribunal. Fec
oudly be maiutains'tliat this is not a goveni
meat for negroes. We have yet to. see the
Republican, or even negro, who assorts what
Mr. Douglas so laboriously denies. The
point for us. is, how stands Douglas on the
leading measures of the Administration and
Democratic party, and especially on the com
promise of the English Dill.
1 do not propose to reliearse the arguments
%f the Lccompton issue. The public is Iff
niiiiar with them. The I’resident held,
and the Democracy agreed with him, that
there was nothing in the Kansas bill requi
ring a direct vote of the people on the Con
stitution ; that that measure did not deprive
them of the Tight enjoyed by the people of
every other territory, the. right to delegate,
that it did not deprive a legally elected and
unrestricted delegation from using their dele
gated,powers in coilventi-jn ns they deemed
most expedient; that the right conferred of
regulating-tlTcir in their
on u way could scarcely be interpreted, to
suit the convenience of Judge Douglas,into
a prohibition to manage their domestic insti
tutions in any other manner than that sug
gested by the author of tho bill ; that hav-’
ing formed a constitution with all the formu
las and legal requisites, in conformity ‘With
the net of *54, they were entitled to admiss
ion under if. Douglas, upon the other bund,
.contended that i’opular Sovereignty was a
very limited sovereignty, without the power’
of appointing authorized representatives to
act as their ngeuts ih constituting their Ftatc
Government; that this great Popular Fov
ereignty was a very Inmc and impotent sov
ereignty, requiring an enabling act to enable
them to do anything [laughter and applause ;J
that the grand fundamental principle which
underlies our free institutions, of which the
Judge is the original discoverer, and to which
lie has devoted his past life and pledges his
future, practically clothed the people of a
territory only with tboso Imnible rights now
inherent in them by the Constitution of the
United States—to petition for redress-of
grievances. Avery prayerful and supplica
ting sortof sovereignty, for which thepeopleof
Kansas ought to be very thtrakhri. [ Ivaugh
'jfffie contest upon this Issue the
compromises of tho English Bill, which Mr.
Douglas claims as a surrender on the part of
Mr. Buchanan and a victory for himself, and
yet he denounces its provisions and refuses
t<> abide its results. If ljccompton is accept
ed by the people of Kansas, Douglas will
gencrously accept it also, for tho satisfactory
reason, he can’t help it. But if Lccompton
is voted down, he is not for keeping Kansas
under a Free State Constitution ont of the
Union, until she has tho ratio which by the
English Bill will enlitlo her to a representa
tion.
Everybody who differed from Mr. Douglas
Tfi nTsTntbfprefritrdn of^4Tie'TvinSns’TilT!’ weiSf
conspirators against the liberties of Kansas.
Congress was endeavoring to consummate a
fraud, and tho President was ignorant of the
very ordinary language of tho Senator’s
bill; and now, everybody who proposes in
good faith to abide by the fruits of tho En
glish compromise, aro attesting to coerce
the iuhabitnnts of Kansas by a bribe and a
thrent. All those who failed to support him
iu his rebellious opposition to this bii], iu de
fiance of the express will of a Democratic
Congress and a Democratic administration,
are bolters and renegades.
It was the miafortuno of Mr. Douglas hot
to distinguish between him.Sblf and tho party
he had the honor to represent. Blindly- he
applied to tho “ Little Giant” the devotion
duo to Democracy. |Cheers and hisses.]—
Ho had seen the Whigs die in Clay, and he
believed the Democrat lived m-Douglas.
[Cries “ that’s so.”J, He fed on this fancy
till it became his cardinal article ; that when
Senator Doatglas buttons his coat about his
sinewy chest, the wbolo vital fold of Democ
racy was warmed aud erfred for. [Laughter.]
In tliis humor lie talked freely of “ my par
ty” and “my principles.” Illinois is his vas
sal, ami conventions that will not work his
will arc his sedff. Sections veered at his wovd.
State platforms were his property. In his
unbridled lust of power and vanity, he dared
gainsay the decision of the National party-}-’
attempted to control the Cabinet and com
mand the President, and erect his own opin
ion as the one only standard of political mor
ality.
In point of effrontery his party is worthy
of their loader. The bastard of Democracy,
it claimed the herjtago of the true heir—a
puny, political ..heresy, is yet assumed the
qiort and tone of the true Democratic church’
militant the parasite of a single man, it yet
prates of principle and mimics tho unity and
allegiance it has dishonorably forsaken—a
fragment of Illinois, it yet assumes tho har
lequin in its pretences to the sympathy aud
association of the party controlling the
U nion.
It is an anomaly. It tries to elect Mr. Doug
las. Elected, it dies ; defeated, it dies. It
is the hope only of men who cannot or will
not see the st-i'cngtli of the National Party.
It begins, continues and ends in Mr. Douglas.
The truth is. that Dougherty and Reynolds
aro the regular nominees of the only legiti
mate organization of the Democratic party
in Illinois, (ffir delegates fjjpm this and'oth
cr counties were properly elected. They
.met in pursuance of the order of the State
Democratic Committee —they met at the
time and. place specified in that order—they
adopted a platform in accordance with the
principles enunciated and supported in and
out of Congaess by an overwhelming Demo
cratic majority throughout'the Union. At
an adjourned meeting Hicy nominated their
candidates, and intend to support them) The
“Doitgins delegates to the April Convention
refused toj acquiesce in our measures, but
formed & separate Convention for themselves,
repudiating the measures of the Administra
tion aud the National Democratic Represen
tatives in Congress assenibled. They adopt
ed A-•plat form in open rebellion to the known
will of the Democratic party and its highest
authorized exponents. They and they alouc
•■tre properly the bolters.
The vassals of a man who refused to sub
mit to the usages of his and deserted
it in an hour of great peril ; a man who did’
do so, and is still doing, more to distract the
Democratic organization than any other len
der since the days of Van Burcn,; they yet
have the graceless assurance to talk about
the friends of the Administration within the
•State being bolters. The Democratic party
is not confined to this Stale, but belongs to
the whole Union, aud a majority of its mem
bers in the Union regulate the character of
its creed. Its orthodoxy is not cinbodiod in
Mr. Douglas, nor its principles’dependent up
on his wliitmi, grievously as that gentleman
may labor under the delusion. Air. Douglas
has the right to pursue such course as pleas
es him, and adopt such views as please him ;
but he has no right to claim that his pleasure
is Democracy. (Applause, aud cries of good-,
good.) *
Conscious that their -position is untenable,
judged by the usages of our party or the
justiceTof tho caUse, they have resorted, .for
lack of arguments, to the most elaborate in
vectives, and to the lowest personal abuse.—
No insinuation is too bitter, no motive too.
corrupt, no act ,too abandoned, with which to
charge u. r ,md the chiefs_of mtr party. The
members of the Cabinet are denounced as
“petty tyrants”—tliefftappointees within this
State ns “ Lazzaroni,” and it is even consid
ered a mark of virtue and the Rign of a
DbflglaA follower, to assail-the grand old nwm
who’ now so bravely wears the sovereign dig
nity—a chieftain covered with tin imperishable
lustre, won in battles through half a century
in the cau;e of Democracy—a lcadef who
victoriously encountered the well girded gi
ants of M irslifiold and Ashland when your
“ Little Giant’s” fame was hedgod in by
eonnty lines—a man who has garnered up
in the history of liis country moro of the
splendors of statesmanship—more of the viv
id charities and courtesies -of the citizen—
more of the unsullied features of the AmerK
can character, than -any other man within
the republic. Against this character, strong
and honest, wc leave their partisan malice
to hurl iu vain their frantic assaults. • , ,
Judge'DoiigT.i'q after taking op house with
Seward, after making himself at home with
Hale, fresh with the kiss of Giddings on Ins
cheek, comes here aud through his magnifi
cent gift of perversion and assurance, char
ges us urith having formed an unholy alliance
with tuft Republicans. With what peculiar
grace aud delicacy docs this accusation fall
so gliblv from the tongue of the .Senator ?
Who received the Senator with a congratula
ry address ? Who were tho frontispieces of
liis recent oration 1 Republicans! Who have
“ sounded the trumpet o'er Egypt’s dark sea”
on liis recent visit to Springfield ? _ Repub
licans ! Who has composed and daily,chants
the Douglas litany in New York ? Thnr
low Weed! Who contests with Donglai
himself IfieTitJe’of'Douglas mans ~ Horace
Greely, the god-fathor of every ifarco from
free love to Republicanism! Whp ever
heard the New York Evening Posit damn t
with its praise ? When did the Springfield
Register ever affiict the A1 ministration with
professions of friendship? Whou was the
National Democracy of Illinois ever blistored
with a eulogy from the New York Tribune?
These are speculative questions for the con
sideration of Douglas men. ("Cheers and
hisses.] Ant) yet this man, bnried up to tho
very chin in Republican sympathizers, whom
lie has gathered around linn, talks About the
Republican allies of the Administration.
The charge that the Federal office-holders
belong to the National Democratic party, is
nonseusically true. Whom would the Judge
havo iu office? Republicans? I hope not.
Douglas men ? of courso the Judgo would
not push his stainless followers into these
dens of temptation ! It must be gratifying
to the Judgo to know with what little labor
ho is able to save stainless from tho earthy
taint of Federal patronage his immaculate
followers. There are a mass of office-hdR
dors, however, whom the Judge commands
—men who have tho fiappy temper and flex
ible principles to agree with both partfes—
who aro so well stocked with opinions that
they have one sot for tho streets and one for
their olfico—[laughter]—who nave that large
ness of soul that they can cheer for Mr.
Douglas and draw their salaries from Mr.
Buchanan-]great l§ughcr]—men who can flip
affidavits of their devotion to tho Adminis
tration, and grow profane in their zdfl for its
enemies [shouts of “ Hit ’em and
who cau acclimate themselves with the ut
most readiness alike to the atmosphere of
Washington and Chicago—meu who have
not tho courage to bo rebels, so strong is
their avarice* nor the honor to be Democrats,
so violent is their tendency to apostacy.—
[Applause.J These are tho few “ honorable
men” alluded to by tho Senator. [Laughter.]
One word more and lam done. We have
a cause strong in the chivalry of politics—
ripening up despite of storm and treachery
to a proud and happy fruition. We have a
mission cnohlcd by its danger and purified
by its isolation, to redeem Democracy from
the Judas kiss within, aud tho clenched hand
without. ■ ‘ ■*
It is ours to set-her apart from selfishness
and corruption —to make her grand and stern,
as in the days when Jackson worshipped
her—to cast away from her the -corrupting
tents of pretended apostles—to restore her
to the monumental truths of Jefferson—tq
ro-exalt her to her early faith, so strong in
goodness, in honor, that po base ambition
shall dare robe in her mantle. (Loffig con
tinued applause.)
The Kentucky Statesman has a* report of
a Speech delivered at Big Glad, In Kentuc
ky, on tho 4th iiait., by Cassius M. Cloy,
from which the following is an extract i
“ He referred at length to the course of the
party leaders at Washington during the last
winter, and commended in the most laudatory
twins the action of Messrs. Crittenden, Mar
shall, Underwood and their confederates,
lie welcomed them as worthy allies In the
abolition cause; said they had come to him,
and he was ready to strike hands with them
in tli* effort to consolidate all the elements of
opposition to Democracy. He recognised in
the Democratic party the only unrelenting
foe Black Republicanism has to encounter,
and hailed the accession of such southern
statesmen as Crittenden, Marshall and Under
wood as happiest omen of success which had
yet occurred to encourage him anil liis friends.
He.pledged the votes of the Kentucky Frec
soilers in support of the American ticket this
summer.”
From tLis, it appears that Crittenden and
the anti-Lccompton Know Northings of tlie
South are altogether acceptable to tho Black
Republicans, and will be cordially welcomed*
by them as worthy allies in their crusade
against the rights and institutions of the South.
We commend it to those of our American
contemporaries in* this State, who aro busily
engaged, without avowing it, in promoting tho
Crittenden movement— News.
Good Advice. —The Musical Review
says:
“ If onr friends will omit to write the word
“ Professor,”ffu their favors, as applying to a
music teacher or conductor, they will save
us tho trouble of erasing it; certainly that
word, as it is commonly usedi .shall not get
into our columns except by accident.”
Akin to this “ Professor” business, is the
abominable babit into which many people
and newspapers have fallen, of giving a title,
as Colonel, General, Ac., Ac., to every per
son who keeps a tavern, or who provides eat
ables and drinkables for a crown, or who fills
any two penny office which specially brings
him before the public. ‘
The Ciltivatio.v of Tea.—A Washing
ton correspondent says that the Agricultural
Bureau of the Patent Office is making pre
parations to test the cultivation of tea in this
Country. The seed will be preserved iu Chi
na specially for. this purpose, planted in glass
cases, and shipped in October. By the time
of their arrival hero they will have sufficient
ly sprouted to be set out in beds. After be
ing tested here, the plants, if successful, will
La distributed among the bofftbern States. An
order for-a great variety of seeds will also be
sent to Egypt in a few days, through a house
in London. This list includes wheat, barley,
rice, clover (Trifolium Alexandrian,) 61c.“
Tho Scientific American says, that the
simplest and cheapest way to cool a room is to
wet a clothof any size, the larger the better,
aud suspend it in the place you want.cooled;
let the room bo Well ventilated, and tho toia
perature will sink from ten to twenty degrees
in less than an hour.
