turbance or revolution. Not at all.
About that, possess yourself in pence.
There is not the slightest chance of a
disturbance or revolution. When a
whole country was at fever heat on
the subject of the election, a way was
found to establish a tribunal to pass
upon the election, and everyone, sub
mitted to that determination. The
President's title rc-ts upon that. If,
now. it should appear that there was
fraud which probably a Heeled the
electoral vote, and which the com
mission did not notice, and if a legal
remedy exists for correcting the er

proceeding, under the law, could lead
to a disturbance. If there la* no such

war was on our side and when we
ought to have stood lip. it is not for
us now to -tund up a* long as the law
is against us. But you will ask
whether, if there he no danger to
public order from legal proceedings,
there may not be from action by Con
gress. No, no more than front the
action from the courts. Congress
represents the people of the country.
Imt doe* not inarch before them. It
ex presses,hut docs not anticipate their
will. Should fraud connected with
the eleetoral count appear so gross
and palpable that you aud all honor
able men should unite in denouncing
it, Congress might then take action :
but if so, what Congress might du.be-
ing the result of the action of men of
all parlies, of a great body of tin* peo
ple, imt of a party, would be effected
quietly, certainly, and without vio
lence or disturbances. In -aying this,
I do not menu that I expect the in
vestigation to he followed by either
legal or Congressional action. What,
if anything, should be done because
of the inquir). must depend upon tho
result- of th.* inquiry, but I do mean
that whatever action, if any, should
follow the investigation, 3ucii action
can neither di&tnrb the order nor the
prosperity of the country. This cry
of wolf when there is no wolf: tbit
effort to make it appear that there H
danger t*» peace «. i order from the
investigation, is a Republican pr*. •
tense like the -bloody shirt” justifica
tion of the carpet-bag government—•
like tin* public danger excuse ad
vanced for the enforcement of Dti-
rell’s infamous order and the protec
tion ofthe returning boar*I by bayo
nets—-like the erv set lip after tin;
lection to prevent any agitation and
0 secure submission. What then,
you ask. is the purpose ofthe investi
gation ? I answer, to ascertain the
facts, so that if fraud* he established,
petition of -ueh frauds may he
prevented, and if not, to clear tin*
general belief throughout the coun
try that there were such fraud*. The
ling among many Republican* af
ter the election was that while we had
been cheated in the returns, We had
bulldozed tin* negroes a* badly, so
that the account* were equal. This
belief in biilldo/iiig of the negro was
ainl) upon the fact that in
i-tricl* in the South which
usually gave a Republican majority,
then? wa- not returned that yearn
single Republican vole. Now. the
North have never understood that
thi* condition of thing was fraudu
lently” prepared by the Republicans.
They ought lo understand that, ami
beyond that, they ought to under
stand that there never was anything
so dangeroii- to free government a* a
returning board, to throw out (lie
vote* of one side and keep in the voft*.-
of the other without rnii*e, to invent
a pretext for such wrongs, to accept
contrived protest-ami manufactured
objections as a color for their action ;
to permit figure- to In? altered, re
turns fo he forged and generally
every means by which the will ofthe
people may be frustrated nml tin*
popular voice -tilled. It then be
come* possible, and there may he
tIm- a condition of things absolutely
destructive of free government. Wc
believe it wa* by sticli proceeding-
we were cheated mil of Hie election.
1 Tiles* till* proceedings lie. exposed,
the outrage will he repealed. What
ever may result from the propo-cd
investigation, you may In* -lire that
nothing car. result that will disturb
cither your flocks or your balance.*.
Tin* trouble to capital, property and
freedom will come not, pcrlinp-. in
\ our time and mine, Imt come at Ica-t
from refusing to inquire into fraud-.
To confront the evil, if you may not
right it, is to prevent it* repetition.
To shut your eye* to it slipiuel) is to
Jeopardize and not lo preserve the
future pence, safety and prosperitv of
the count! y.
