s remove by the President; and all these things proved conclusively that the ultimate intention of the republican party was the liberation of the slaves of the South. He predicted the success of the Democracy if the right kind of platform was adopted. He would vote for no platform endorsing this Administration. He would vote for no platform which would pledge the people to an unconditional prosecution of this war. He never intended to endorse anything which came out of that miserable Nazareth, this Republican Administration. You might talk to him about the honesty of Abe Lincoln — about his conversation on the slavery question. He was as corrupt as those who surround him, and unfortunately, the smallest load in the puddle! He was — although at the time he might be politic — as corrupt as Simon Cameron, who ought to have been hung when he was a little boy.
