' I wish to lay down two proposi tions, the truth of which no fair- minded man will deny. 1. There are but two great partiei lis country—the organized Deni tic-national party and the organ Republican national party. Tin- two ana no more.

You ought to stand by the Uenio- *7 UA«rtK a KkVTBlus. . t ntUg.pqay,hecaH*e it is tlio party of ft the Couettcuiioh, slid the Constitution { is the supreme law and the right arm of your defense. The Democratic pArty^iy never denounced the Con- proclaimed a higher law in politics than flic CbnsllNitiou, never stretched or warpoyl and per verted the Constitution;SQas to justi fy the forcing upon States those dia bolisms called governments, which so long cursed and crushed flic South. These are familiar truths, I know, hut they arc great truths, and cannot be too often repeated, nor too solemn ly impressed upon the. yam the country. Why, look,;*! Jews. They not only law iu the schools, butt! the door posts, and pnl tlie hands, and engraved them memory. Ami what was the I undertake to say that no j»e«_ palriatcd. dispersed in all Hums, de rided in all tongues, “the jesf OP folly and the scorn of pride,” ever lived, wlio, like these Jews^ niaintaincd their principles for two -thousand years with sueli uiiyieidjnjf constancy and unrivalled dovotipn. _ Now, I do not wish the young metrof theh-oun- try to become Jews in faith, hut do wifnt them to learn a lesson of politi cal wisdom from this chapter of the Jewish history. You ought to standi by Uto.’Donto- cratie party, because to.p^tce it iu power is to'rcform the abuses of tiie government. Now, I am not going to say that a man is a better man in tho sight of heaven-lie cause he is a Democrat. Nor do I iut.md to say that the large body of Democrats are saints and the large body pf-Republi- enns sium-rs. But I do mean to say tl-.nt the Republican party came into power under eireuinaUmoes sb iieeu- iiar, and maintains it* power by mcaiis so wrong, tltat practices have grown up under it utterly 1 subversive of our institutions, and in the last de gree corrupting to the peoplp^ I do mean to say that the spirif pPeorrup- tion has crept into the one and that the spirit of re' :m tierves the other. I do mean to . y that if Democrats get into power we shall .10 longer witness the spectacle of Cabinet of ficers hurrying in their resignations, and a President hastening ./accept them as a shield against the jicnalty which the law inflict*. [Uoud ap plause.] No longer shall the > Ameri can citizens, at home and -iabroad, have the blush of shi-mc minflc his cheeks bcccusc of the comments jbf the foreign' press upon the degrading practices of the American Republic. [Loud applause.] But you should stand by the Demo cratic party because it lathe only par ty of your'defense, and because qf the >pen threats of the Republican lead- •ws to renew the war upon yonr po- itical rights. Have yon read the Re- jiiibliean press and the nttcranccs of iepublican leaders during the recent rapnign. They have i-copcnud a fire eom-enirnted and persistent as that »f the allies on the fortress of Sebas- pol. Look at the declarations of the honorable Secretary of the Treasury, charging that the spirit of rebellion against the government is rife at the South. Look at the utterances of the distinguished Senator from New York, who is certainly one oftlie most commanding men in that party. Look at the still more recent and more remarkable utterances of the Senator from Maine, than whom no man in that party speaks with great er authority. I-et me read you a few sentences front that Senator. He says: “The Confederate soldiers to-day mating two votes in control of our national pjlicy, when the Union sob dier in Pennsylvania and New Eng land casts hut one.” Now, the mistake Mr. Blaine makes in this connection is that I10 has both color and tlie polities of the double voter wrong. It is the colored' Re publican who votes twice to organ ized Democrats once [laughter], and that’s tlie reason tlie Democrats were beaten up here in the Seventh district, [(■rcat laughter.] But wliat else docs this Senator ay ? “We will lie compelled in the end, from selt-iutercst and self-pro tection, to resort to that which at the outset wc should hare resorted to from principle. Iu all the great fi nancial and economic contests of the future the North cannot and will not permit the hostile Democratic power of the South to he doubled by trampling under foot the rights of the :olorcd citizens.” My countrymen, what does that mcaii? What can it mean by an avowal of a purpose to march troops again to tlie polls, to control elections by force, to compel the colored man to vote, whether he would or not, the Republican ticket, to call back the black-wiugcd Harpies again who se long fed and fattened on your sub stance? [Applause.] Now, whether the great mass of Republican voters at tlie North can be induced to follow these leaders in iicli a policy of oppression it is im possible to say. I cannot believe that these leaders will he sustained by that wing of the party, small hut respectable, which supported tlie Presidcnt in the beginning of his Ad ministration, and who sustained him in liis patriotic recognition of tlie fact that the war was ended, nml in removing the troops and leaving to Louisiana and to South Carolina the rights of self-government. [Applause] I wish you to know also, my country men, that there ure thousands atiil hundreds of thousands of patriotic men iu the Republican party at the North who have been misled by these lenders; who, if they saw your dan ger ami the reactionary danger to their liberties (and God grant Unit some power may enable them to sec it before it is too late) [loud ap- plouse], who, I say, if they saw this common danger, would unite with you to avert it. [Applause,] There 'ire hundreds of thousands of Chris- ian men in that party who do not -yiiipaihizc with these wrongs, whore 1" a. Is bleed over the recent afflictions 1 Southern cities, and whose purses were emptied to relieve Southern suf- lering. [Applause.] That was a pcctaelc, iny countrymen, which pre- -eiili.d Ihe hotter side of those nieu, itud it was a spectacle which touched i„il inov-d *he great Southern heart inti caused it to boat once more in responsive throbs to the great heart 01 the North, a» *T#rrp Ciii)«4 unto deep." [Loud applause.] And Southern prayers ascended that Jehovah would not only reward them a thousand fold, but that these wares of sympa thy rolling across the continent and breaking around these scathed centres of lieaveu-infliclcd sorrow might melt down the icy-barriers that divided the sections, nml that this great Southern woe, made national by God like sympathies, might become the grave of all sectional animosities. [Loud and prolonged npplhusi-.j But now wliat a revolting contrast! At the vary hour when Southern nt- iliction ami Southern bnnltlcojieo were bringing together the-e "v-di-iinge.l sections nml binding them iu ihe bonds of living sympathies, these lenders—grave Senators—su-ck t“ re open the wounds that were lieu ling and to revive tlie passions* that were dying. What a spectacle Ll, Wlini 11 work for men upon whose shoulders rest tho responsibilities of a repre sentative government! What an hour for such a work! At 11 moment,wln-u peace prevailed all over Ihe hind, when the black man and the while matt were being given by Democratic legislation the blessings of edm-ation and good government; -when the South, bowed with sorrow,wild tilled with gratitude, is reaching out its arms to embrace ltscmmti-y men, tlic<e leaders scizo again the fauqd'Dloody shirt, plunge it in the chronic vat. run it tip the party statf anil fly it ns the symbol of a new civilization anil a “restored union.” Why, really, nten who never saw us^woufiPMagine that tho South was ono vest volcano —worse than a volcano; .for even JKtnft, I believe, has it pertodsnf rest and Vesuvius its seasons orreposo.— The South—never! But is ever belching from its over-open craters volumes of smoko'nmi brimstone und blood. Well, we read somewhere that even the sun may he turned to blood, and it seems that these lenders intend that the North shall never see the South, except through a murky atmosphere of passion tilled with the phantoms of horrid oppressions and phantasmagoria of blood that have no existence save in the maddened brain of these ministers of hate. If for no other reason than to turn such men out of power, you ought to .-land by the Democratic party. , 'But I must pass to another branch of the subject. To stand by tho Dem ocratic party is to stand by-Its or ganization. ' Now, in dismissing this part of the the subject, I trust I will g ive no offense to any man. Nothing i further from my pit .-pose. I would not wound you, iny Independent friends. I would rather, ran you back by appeals to your your reason by the arguments which fill ' iny heart to-uiglit, and bring >*bn back to the embrace of that party which is the last hope of the people, [Ap plause.] Oh, no, my* Independent friends, I am not here to wound you. but like old Paul at Corinth, I am here agonized with apprehensions of the untold and inteltij^blo... evils which I solemnly bclievo are to fol low these needless and catiscless dis- sentions. [Applause.] And like him I am here to plead for unity among those of tlie same household of faith. I am here to sfilak iu the cause of DEMOCRATIC UNITY, for the cause of Democratic unity is the cause of local self-government hy these States, aud the cause of local self-government is the cause of American liberty, and the cause of AmcrleatZStterty is the cause of hu man freedom throughout the earth! (Loud applause.) .But my Indepen dent friends tell us that we are al ready one faith; but a higher author ity thawyou or I tell us “that faith without works Is dead I-' [Laughter.] We must have not only unity of faith hut unity of-action, if we would ever make available for the purposes of liberty the great principles of this party [Applause.] I .or no tnan tell me lie can accomplish as much for these principles outside Ihe or ganization as inside, for he who ad- vaneca that theory files in the teeth of reason, experience and nature. Or ganization 1 It is the law of earth, of hell and heaven. It was recognized by tho God-head iu the creation of the world and the redemption of man. It is written all over Ilis works from the dewdrops that tremble on tlie mountains which organize themselves into rivulets and these into rivers, and these iiito seas, to the worlds that roll In grandeur on high. (Applause.) And none of the great purposes of man whether of material development religion or government, can he secur ed without it. Government itself is organization, and I assert that no partv ever did, nor ever will estab lish its principles as the poliev of this government without organization — (Continued applause.] Why, the old Whigs tried it in 1836. They said let us be : independent, let everybody vote for whom he pleases. What did they do? They had four or five can didates for Presidout, and were over whelmed by U10 most disastrous de feat. But in 1840 they organized, called a convcntou and nominated a candidate. Wliat was the result ? They swept this country with a man joritv rarely equallod in the history of political campaigns. [Applause.] JEFFKnsONIAN DEMOCRACY*. But we are told that Mr. Jeft'ersou says that wo must not only obey the will of the Democratic in ijority, but. guard sacredly tho freedom of elec tions. Yes, Mr. Jefferson says that; that yvc niUHt guard with jealous care the freedom ot elections. So I say; so every Democratic says; so every old line Whig used to suy; so overv man of every party that ever existed In this country said until the Re publican party trampled down that right anti controlled elections by Fed eral force. [Loud applause.] Why, fellow citizens, Mr. Joffcrson was dis cussing that very freedom of elections from military force which tho Dem ocratic party intends to restore to this government when It ran control its f ioliey. Yet these of Mr Jefforsou are mralded us an evidence of opposi tion to organization. Thomas Jef ferson a disorganizor? Why, Mr. Jefferson himself tvas the first nom inee of the first organized Demo cratic party, and led it in its first triumph over tho party of centrali zation. [Great applause.] Blit every mau must bo a freeman and vote like it free man! Yes, that is also true: bdt there is a greater truth still, and that is that every freeman, every lover of liberty, must so vote its to place in possession of the goverincnt tho party whose principles will per petuate liberty. [Applause.] Do you think you will vote as to placo .11 poasessiou of tho government the party whose principles will perpet uate liberty. [Applause.] Do you think you will mako your ballots effective by breaking into fragmentH the friends Of those principles while it* foes are compact aud organized. [Applause.] Is that tho tort of freedom of elec tion* Mr. Jefferaon advocated ? Away with such sophistry to break down the organization of which lie was the loi'iiiicr. My liiile| oiidcnl fri- Ms arc fond of shooting •'in.lc|.eii<L co i-ow and ii.dependence forever!" That is wlmt Wnshiiigtoii nml his eoiuindes fought for. I believe; but my rending is licit they were somewhat organized. I'liei-e were [those then [who dill not like Washington us a leader, YVlio were convinced licit they ought to have been the lenders, hut the groat I101L of tlie men wlio were with him iliil not stop to inquire who was the lender, lint said to tlio convention at I’liiludelphin. i-Jll'e<l r *the Congress, * n imiiiate tho lender, designate him, !■ 1 tlie flag in his hands amt yvc will follow," and whenever his plume waved, or his banner floated, this or ganized hand followed, ami they fol lowed to victory. [Loud applause.] i commend to my Independent friends that short chapter in the his tory of the contest for independence. [Applause.] nANGKII OF DISORGANIZATION. What would have'lieen' the public estimation of that knightly soldier, Winfield Hancock, if during General Grant’s march on Uielm.o id he had said to General Grant: “I don’t like organization. 1 am a Jeffersonian Democrat I want to fight us a free man—on iny own hook 1” and in the guise of a Unionist hail sought to break down the organization of the Union army? But let me gi\*o you a stronger il lustration nearer liomo. Wlmt would you have thought of me, if when General Lee said : “Drive the cnomy from that portion of tlie field,” “si lence that battery," or “move on those breastworks in front”—Yvhat would you have thought of 1110 if I had said : “I am a Confederate, but you Yvere nominated at Richmond. ' I don’t like nominations. 1 am an independ ent Confederate. 1 proposo to be leader myself.” [Applause.] And, then, when the long lines that stretch ed offto the right ami left moved up with sullen trend, and the battle was joined in, what tvould you have said if, instead of moving to the front aud going on the common enemy, Gor do Vs Cl corps had been ordered by hint to turn their guns upon the organized Confederates? Is that an unfair illus tration of the position of our Inde pendent friends? Let us see. Sup pose you should read a political speech in one of tlie daily papers of Ihe State, ami after searching column after column, the only denunciations it contained Yvere of “rings, tricksters aud traders.” Now, suppose some one should inform you that this Yvusa Democratic speech. Would you not conclude that this Democrat Yvas hurling invectives at those “rings” which were exposed in Washington —tlie Credit Moliilier, the Sanborn contracts and Ihe dirty, filthy, greasy whisky ring, which involved iu its meshes high otlirials of the govern ment? Yon would not have doubted that those were the rings he so vehe mently denounced ; or else that lie Yvas holding up for public reproba tion those other ••rings” formed to capture these Southern States after the war, and Yvhich hound Georgia, like Prometheus, to the rock Yvhile these carpet-hag “tricksters”aud ‘tra ders’ fed upon tier vitals! [Great ap- npplause.J Wouldn’t you have said those were the only rings a Democrat could denounce ? CKOOKKUXBSS OF INIIF.CKNTISM. But wlmt would have been the measure of your amazement when you found that Ihe men denounced ns “riiigsters,” “traders” ai •! “tricksters’ were the Democrats ami wit riots who drove those plunderers i.-om power? [Chairs.] “A good Democrat,” but not one word of denunciation for Radicals. “A good Democrat," but vials of wrath for Democrats. “Good Democrats,” but tongue-tied so Hint they cannot utter one word of denun ciation against “the Radicals?” [Ap plause ami laughter] hut tongues turned loose at both ends against or ganized Democracy! [Laughter and applnuse.] That position won’t do; it won’t hold Yvatcr; it is full of holes from rim to bottom. It is a great wrong, my country men; it is a wrong to us; it is a wrong to Democratic principles; it is a wrong to liberty, aud it almost breaks the hack of confidence in a re publican government anil dims all hope of ultimate success to find at the moment our feet are, planted on I’is- gali’s top and the rich harvests of Ca naan lie out before us, self-constitut ed leaders arc beckoning us HACK INTO THE WILDERNESS. [Continued applause.] They say tlie party is coiitrollcu by rings. If that is true, Yvhat is the best tiling to be done ? Get the good men of the par ty together and break down tlie rings. There are good men enough iu this organization to control tho nomina tions. Honesty has not entirely fled from the Democratic party. There are some good men still left in it, and unselfish patriotism is not all dead. [Applause.] Get the good men of the party together, inside of tho organi zation, to break down tho rings, if any exist. If there be wrong in the church, gel tlie good men together anil put down the wrong, but don't quit the church and undertnke to run an independent gospel 011 your oyvii hook [laughter and applause] and join the outsiders to break down tlie chinch. [Applause.] That is not good doctrine by any Scriptures that 1 over read. Nominations controlled by cliques nml county court lawyers! If tlmt lie true, the common sense course is to rally nil classes of citizens and correct the abuse; hut don't go out side and denounce the latvyers, aud by appeals to prejudice array one class of citizens against another clns> of citizens and thus destroy tho lies! interests of all classes of citizens. This is Communism. And woe be to that man or set of men who invoke for this peaceful section that spirit of discord which tilled the North with apprehension nml France with lire anil blood and terror! (Loud ap plause.] I must close this portion of the dis cussion, for, if I haven't said onougl to convince this people of the nee sity for organization, 1 have said enough to weary tliom. I could talk all night on this subject and draw ar guments from all fields, but wliat is Ihe necessity ? Before closing, 1 wish to say one word to m i: von NO men of the country. Yon are Ihe coming trustees of these Democratic institu tions. and these institutions real upon tho Democratic principles I have at tempted to set forth and enforce, ami groat parties arc tlie natural and nec essary agencies for the promotion of these nrlnciples. In this connection I Yvlsh t > repeat the remark with which I set out. Hint in this country the-e are only two great parties, the Dem- ocrati mid the Republican parties; tho one, conceived in passion, horn of fanaticism anil baptised in blood, has, from its accession to power, inarched in rapid aud straight strides over these principles, over State govern ments and tlie Constitution to an in crease of power in the central gov ernment. [Applause.] The other, be ginning its existence Yvlth tho Con stitution, conforming its practices to the Constitution, proclaims and de fends tho instrument as the funda mental, inviolable, omnipotent char acter of all human rights on this con tinent. [Great applause.] One is tlie party of passion, power and privi lege ; tlie otlier is the party of peace, of law and of liberty! [Cheers] Tlie ono legislates for classes, for grasping monopolies, lor colossal corporations which despoil Ilie people. Tlw other, uontining itself within the limits of the Yvrittcn Constitution, keeps stead ily In view tho YVenl and safety of all classes, all communities and all sec tions of this great country. [Great applause.] Where is the room for a third par ly with such issues as these dividing tlie people ? It Yvotihl of necessity be ground to powder between these up per aud nether mill-stoneIt would be but a bubble to flash a faint a»d false hope for a time, only to burst and vanish and mingle in the waters ot these great strea -is. [Applause.| My young friends, let me say to you with greater emphasis U1..1 l could prior to the Senatorial elec.ion (for having been cho°e:t for six years’ service no man can change me with a selfish motive) let me say to you Unit you are not only bringing damage to this country and destroying tlie party which maintained your princi ples, but you are sapping the founda tions of your own political character. [Great applause.] You could not or ganize and keep in position a third party if you were to try, and yon ought not to do so if you could." It would bo a damage to the country and to your own manhood and polit ical future. Why do 1 say that ? Be cause no man ever yet sacrificed his ambition upon tlie altar of principle without coming from the sacrifice a purer, greater, grander man I [Loud applause.] But my Independent friends tell me that they sacrifice no principle. But if to break down the organization is not to break down tlie party, and if to break down the par ty is not to destroy the possibility of enforcing its principles in the admin istration of government, then reason is a madman aud logical sequcitccs have no existence. Take care, young men, lest when you have broken this party in twnin, tlie organized Republican party rush through the breach and seize the gov ernments, Shite and Federal. Take care lest who; you accomplish Inde pendency von 'have a candidate for Governor fVotu every section in the State and a candidate for President from every section in the Union.— I’qpse, I bcsoeclt you, and think lie- lore you scatter these seeds of dissen sions—oh, think wliat “tho harvests may be.” [Prolonged applause.] Rut do you tell ine that if you gave up you r'^Indcpendcnt movement it will lose yqu your chances. Young men, if you are ambitious and waut office you can securo it inside tlie Democratic organization by showitig to the country that you are necessary to its service. last the country see tlmt you have not only the ability to lead, hut the devotion to folloiv, and your sacrifice will not go long utue- wariled! [Great applause.] I read Hoinctvhcrcof a distinguished English clergyman who was upbraided for throwing away opportunities of pre ferment, aml[was asked liv'his friend. “Why arc you always impaling your chances for success upon a point of conscience? Do you knotv what be came of tho man who was always standing on matters of conscience?” “Yes,” replied the clergyman, “He was crucified on Cavalry. He not only gavo up riches and honors, hilt even His life; hut ou the third day He arose again Yvitli omnipotence in His arm and salvation for mankind 1” [Applause.] God lorbid that I should compare tlie sacrifice I invito you to make to that infinite sacrifice made by tlie Son of Man, but let me sav that if you will crucify your ambi tion on the cross of principle, though it may prove your political grave for a time, you shall rise again iu tlie glo ry of n renewed and exalted man hood, anil with the assurances ot a nobler and grander success. (Con tinuous rounds of applause.] ‘come back, my friends, comeback!’ 1 These dissensions will not onlv de stroy your political future, but'will bring palsy to the arms of our allies at the north now raised to strike for our liberties as yvcII as tlicir oyvii. Come back 1 I saw incn iu this dis trict above us who wanted to come back, Init they had done so much and said so much, and some had cl . 0 much, that they could not get hack. [Laughter.] They did not know How to get back. They did not like the idea of abandoning an enterpri e once begun. That is natural. They did not like tho criticisms that would he made upon their consistency. That is natural, too. But the best rule is, Yvhen you find you are wrong, turn back. “Be sure you are right, and then go ahead.” [Applause.; They applied some uot very compli meutary epithets to me because L auswored tlie call or tho party and obeyed tlie dictates of my conscience and defended those principles.

[Great applause.] I do not wonder that the Republi can leaders encourage these move ments. I do not wonder that the par ty of passion should aid a movement to break down the party of peace. .1 do not. wonder that the Republican press in our own midst encoorage the movement; for to break down our organization i* to deetroy the party which drove them from power. Liver is King. The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it con trols the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, ail kinds of ailments are the natural results. The digestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the aetion of the brain and uervdus system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the Liver. It has been successfully prov ed that Green’s August Flower is unequalled in cut-in gall persons afflet- ed with Dyspepsia or Liver Com plaint, and all the numerous symp- tomsithat result from an unhealthy condition of the Liver and Stomach.

[Cheers and cries of “No, no!”] I have no personal interest in this matter which you have not, but my heart is bowed down. I remember, as do many of these men here to night, Yvhat effect it used to produce in the army when it was said: “The brigade ou the right is broken," or “the corps on the left has given away,” and I know what will be the consternation of the men of the North when told that the whole Southern line had broken.

The Bloody Shirt. Washington, November it—In his forthcoming message the President will make tho alleged outrages and violations of law in the South, daring the late congressional election*, • prominent topic of comment. .These will bo condemned as forcibly da- priving a large number of citizens hi specified localities of rights conferred by both national and. State, authority —thus preventing results expressive of their will in the administration of. public affairs. The subject will be presented to the consideration of Congress, for sneb action as the circumstance* demand. Owing to the decision of the United States Supreme Court that the en forcement act was unconstitutional, it not being in specific accordance ivitb the fifteenth constitutional amendment, and the failure of the House in tlie forty-thrid Congress to pass tho Senate bill designed to meet the judgment of that tribunal, there is no law to punish a class of cases af fecting colored men which tho act was intended to reach. The law relative to the election of members of Con gress, hoYvever, affords a remedy for some of the reported wrongs—inflict ing a fine of five hundred dollars and imprisonment for one year on any person found guilty of illegally pros ecuting or obstructing the free exer cise ot voting, a fine of five thousand dollars and imprisonment for not more titan ten years 011 those engaged' in conspiracy for the same purpose. y- RH-OPKKiSa A TBOMOUGBFAXM 45 Years Before the Public.
