performed again.
It was infamous, but It waa final. Hor
rible as It mas It waa a decision; nd by
the decision tuc great democratic party of
the nation resolved to abide. Thoueaui
of noble men, patriot to th core, are
atlll of Ihe opinion that the democrats
should never have yielded to Hie "eight

honor was a greater calamity than a war
would kav3 been, and that while in the
event of war the battle sear would In
the course of time have disappeared, our
country can never-literally never-put
away fron itself the eh me that It In
vited when It consented to sacrifice prin
ciple to policy.

i January F, 1W7 that the famous elec-
toral- eotmaliHou, ap-Aued by conTes

th supreme court.

they were ominous of a war aft widespread
