SPEECH OF
GEN. THOMAS EWING, JR.,
OF KANSAS, AT THE
democratic and conservative
RATIFICATION MEETING IN
WASHINGTON CITY.
to
Fellow-Citizens: I appeal - before you this
evening merely to speak a few words of cor
dial endorsement of the principles enunciated
bv the Democratic National Convention, and
of the nomination of Seymour and Blair.
We are on the threshold of the most mo
mentous political contest of our national his-
t0I y_one which will he an cpocli in our an
nals as marked as that of the war for the
preservation of the Union. We fought four
years, sacrificed half a million of lives and
lour billions of money, to establish the prin
ciple that the Union is indissoluble. We have
mW to determine, and I hope by the peaceful
arbitrament of the ballot-box, whether we can
preserve the form of government bequeathed
to us by our fathers.
The war was grandly successful. For tfo-ee
years past there has not been, in the Southern
States, an arm raised against the national au
thority ; for three years past our internal
Ports have been dismantled, and the defences
along our Southern coast, erected to guard
against foreign invasion, no longer fearing
domestic foes, have turned all their guns sea
ward ; for three years past the commence of
the great Northwest has flowed down the
Mississippi to the Gulf as free as^its waters
flow. [Applause.]
The Southern people have not yielded a
sullen, reserved, Or resentful submission to
the decision of the war. They fought to set
tle a disputed question of construction of the
Constitution, which our forefathers disagreed
about, even while framing that instrument,
and which they transmitted unsettled to their
descendants. The South elected to settle it
by wager of battle, and, having lost in the
arbitrament of the sword, they have shown
themselves willing to accept and abide by its
decision. The war had scarcely ended, when,
by amendments to their State constitutions,
and laws, they formally renounced the doc
trine of secession, to establish which they
went to war; and I challenge successful con
tradiction of the statement that, since the
year 1865, they have shown in every- possible
way their loyal adhesion to the Government
of the United States, and their absolute and
unreserved renunciation of the false doctrine
of secession.
Now, gentlemen, the war was for no other
purpose titan to settle that disputed question.
We all recollect that while it was going on
the Democrats and Conservatives of the loyal
States, who furnished at least one half of the
men and money for its prosecution, were ap
prehensive lest the Republicans would do
just that which they are now doing—use, in
violation of the Constitution, the vast powers
confided to them for the restoration of the
Union for purposes of party and sectional ag
grandizement. And you all remember how
often and how solemnly the Republican party-
repeated the pledge that the war should be
waged in no spirit of oppression, hut solely to
restore the Union, with all the equality and
rights of the States unimpaired.
The people of the United States trusted
these declarations and believed them sin
cerely made. The soldiers trusted them,
and," therefore, risked health and life in
the cause. I ask any man who followed . ,
I the flag during the war whether he would vice^ or to any service
have fought to disfranchise and degrade the
white people of the South, blot out their
States, and subject them in serfdom to fheir
former slaves, and to destroy the form of our
national government established by the Con
stitution ? [Prolonged cheering, and cries of
“ never, never.”] If Jacobins in the Capitol
—who sat in cushioned chairs through the
war and filled the quartermaster's, and com
missary’s, and contractor's departments with
their friends and relatives—who never saw
rebel fire except at Bull Run, and then stam
peded at the first flash—had avowed such
atrocious purposes while the war was going
oa, the Union armies would, after conquering
the rebels, have inarched on Washington to
disperse these usurpers as equally dangerous
to the Constitution and the Union with, the
rebels in am». [Tremendous cheering.]
I must, however, do the leaders of the
Radical party the justice to say that during
the war the most of them sincerely intended
to perform these solemn pledges, and to have
the avowed object of the war promptly ac
complished at its termination. But when it
ended they forgot their pledges and their pa
triotic purposes. They had not the courage
to restore the Union, with the Southern States
governed by white electors, lest, with its
restoration, the Republican party would lose
control of the general government. As many
of the Radical leaders preferred, when the
South seceded, to let it go in peace, in order
that they might govern the rest of the nation,
so at the end of the war they chose to destroy
the Southern States, rather than have them
return to shake their power.
Now, fellow-citizens, no man could have
complained of the Republican party if it had
fairly used its power at the close of the war,
.within the limits of the Constitution, for party
advantage. What we have chiefly complained
of is that it has not only prevented reunion,
hut has, by Congressional fiat, destroyed, or
attempted to destroy, the ten States we fought
to restore to the Union. [Applause.] If they
had only destroyed the ten States, and left
them as Territories, to he restored in the next
generation as States, their acts would have
been more tolerable. But, after destroying
them, they disfranchised and disabled the
whole governing talent of the South, and
committed the political destinies of those
States to the custody of a race just emerging
from barbarism, through slavery, with whom
we can not commingle on terms of either so
cial or political equality. Our form of gov
ernment is one which can only exist and
Sourish where the electors are intelligent, and
are, or may become, homogenous. If con
trolled in great part by electors grossly and
hopelessly inccmpetent, of a race which can
never become one with ns, we can not es ‘
the government to stand and prosper.' [<
of “ that’s so,” and applause.]
ashes may cover the ruins of the Republic.
Is tins the result for which our armies fought.
Is this the “ peace ” of which General Grant
talks in his letter? [Enthusiastic cheermg.]
Instead of having the restoration of the Union
under the Constitution, which was the_omy
justification and object of the war, the Radi
cals give us this atrocious scheme; big with
threatened disasters to the Republic. [Ap
plause.] .- '
But the Republican
here. It has robbed the President of bis most
essential constitutional powers, S6 as to prac-
tically destroy the Executive as oiitrot the
independent co-ordinate departments of the
general government.’ I -It - had iih effect, , too,;
destroyed the chief functions of the Supreme
Court, the other co-ordinate department, tak
ing from it the power of passing jndgmenfon
the constitutionality of the scheme of recon
struction. Striking down the greatest pqw 7
ers of the Executive and the judiciary,4 -has
broken loose from -the restraints of the Con
stitution, and now acknowledges no limit to
its power, and no right in any other depart
ment to question it: * . - } i.
I ask, fellow-citizens, whether we now liv.e
under the government formed by our forefa
thers—a government of three co-ordinate de
partments, each independent in its sphere,
each a check on the usurpations of the others ?
'No, we do not live under a Constitution, but
under a Congress which tramples the .Consti
tution under foot, and is for the time omnipo
tent “* 1 33! ; ~ rfifl adl o -
Three years after the total suppression.of
the rebellion, the Radical party gives iis as
the result of its rule, and in return: for the
vast powers and treasures confided to it; a
Union with ten of the great States destroyed,
and ten St. Domingos erected in their stead;
and in place of the beneficent government we
inherited, it gives ns a government in which
the liberties of the States have been swallowed
up by the central government, and the pow
ers of the other Federal departments swal
lowed up ! by Congress. In short, we have
no longer the government of the Constitution,
hut of a general assembly—a form which in no
nation has ever lasted a lifetime—which is
always begot of the frenzy and passions of
revolutionists, and which has always been
swiftly followed and easily overthrown by the
despotism of a Cromwell or a Napoleon.
Loud cheering.]
I have been appealed to an hundred times,
as one who fought for the Union, to turn front
tfie Democratic party and. support for the
Presidency the leader of the Union armies.
Gentlemen, it is because I love the Union and
the Constitution earnestly enough to fight for
them that I shall not support Grant, but shall
support Seymour. [Great cheering.]
This is a contest in which the candidates
presented for the suffrages of the people should
be men of high statesmanship. While I freely
accord to General Grant all the honor due to
his patriotic and successful career as a soldier;
while I am not only willing, but proud, to say
that Donelson, Vicksburg, and Mission Ridge
will make his name as a soldier immortal, 1
can not, in good conscience,. assert that his
state papers place him in the front rank of
Statesmen. As a soldier he will always have
the respect and honor of those who followed
the ,flag; but as a zealous supporter and in
strument of the intolerable and disloyal usurp
ations of Congress, he is not entitled to the
trust or support of any man who wore the
blue and still loves the Constitution and the
Union. [Prolonged applause.]
In Mr. Seymour we have a candidate who
is a statesman and a patriot—one Who would
have bee> distinguished in the most illus-
as Governor of the greatest State of the Union,
when Gettysburg was fought, and afterward,
when the capitol was besieged, efficiently ex
erted his mighty powers for the rescue of the
Republic—who, for his distinguished service
the Union cause, received the cordial
fFrotnthe Columbus Enquirer.]
thanks of Secretary Stanton, a War Minister
never known to be fulsome or hasty in thank
ing Democrats for patriotic efforts. Listen to
Mr. Stanton’s letter of thanks lb Governor
Seymour:
“War Department,
“Washington, June 27, 1863.
“Dear SirI can not forbear expressing to
you the deep obligation I feel for the prompt
and candid support you have given to the
Government in the present emergency. The
energy, activity, and patriotism you have ex
hibited I may be permitted personally and
officially to acknowledge, without arrogating
any personal claims on my part in such ser-
,*or to any service whatever.
I shall be happy to be always esteemed
your friend, Edwin -M. StantoN.
His Excellency Horatio Seymour.”
If Governor Seymour, while thus holding
up the hands of the Government against the
rebels, als* courageously maintained the rights
of the citizens- of the loyal States—protested
against the imposition, by a partisan provost
marshal general, of exhorbitant draft quotas
in Democratic districts; and against the trial
of Northern civilians by military commis
sions for offences unknown to the laws, and
defined only in Stanton’s “general orders,”
Detective Baker’s “instructions,” or Dr. Lie
big’s newly invented “common law of war”—
I honor him all the more for that. : [Great
laughter and cheers.] . .
Gentlemen, let the Radicals go forth and
preach the destructive and rejrengeful meas
ures they have been concocting for three
years past. Let them try to rekindle in the
North: the passions which should have died
with the war. Let them show what they
have accomplished in destroying the Southern
States, enslaving the white man, and making
the negroes inlers; and : in tearing down the
beneficent Government .under which this na
tion hasflonrished for a.century. I have no
fear of the result. We will go forth and ad
vocate a cordial reunion of the white people;
North and South. We will talk of the South
ern people no longer i as enemies, hut as
friends and brethren united with us in restor
ing the Union and the Government of the
Constitution. We will revive no revengeful
memories of the war,-but rather grateful
memories of the Revolution, of 1812, and of
Mexico, in which Northern and Southern
blood flowed on the same fields and on thie
same side. Having, as Mr. Lincoln boasted,
captured .‘‘. Dixie,*’ we, will play it alternately
with “Old John Brown,” to awaken no mem
ories of triumph or defeat, but only proud
recollections of the valor displayed on both
sides during the rebellion, and the renown
and power it added to the American name
throughout ]the world. We will cany the
old flag, 1 bearing 6n its-folds no stars in black
eclipse, but thirty-seven stars, each equally
luminous and;effulgent, and over the wreck
of the Radical party and its usurpations we
will restore the Constitution and the Union.
[Tremendous cheering.]

Upon resuming onr personal liberty we,
the undersigned; known as the Columbus
Prisoners, deem it proper to publish the fol-
loyving brief account of onr arrest and con
finement by the military authorities:'
Luring the night of the 30th of March
George w. Ashbum was assassinated in a
low negrp brothel in Colnmbns, Georgia. Oa
the 6th: day of April .thirteen citizens were'
arrested.’ by., Captain, Mills, of tbe United
States army. Ou tbe 10th they were released
nnder bond, four of this number have
never been re-arrested. -The man Mills stated
that he did not know the charge against the
party aireated, bnt no one believed him, and
the fact is only mentioned to show the char
acter of the proceedings. Oil the 14:h day'
ot May four arrests were made; on the 24tb,
four; on, the 2d of Jane, four more; on the
16th,-seven,-followed the next day by two
others: On 'the -24th another and tbe last
arrest occurred. Thesp arrests were made
by the order of General Meade. Several of
the undersigned have in their possession
written orders which show this fact.' The
arrests were made without ' warrant, affida
vit or charge. . No preliminary examination
was held. We were kept in total ignorance
of the ex parte evidence against us, and the
names of onr accusers were concealed from,
ns. No one who has followed the trial will
be sarprised at this apparent neglect.
While we were clamoring for tbe charges
against ns Joe Brown, Whitley, Maj Smytbe,
and others, were suborning Bet^ Marshall,
Bennett and Amanda Patterson. The evi
dence for the prosecution acknowledges that
disclosures were made nnder threats of im
prisonment. This Is bad enough, but a worse
feature is, that the date of these disclosures
is placed by the witnesses themselves subse
quent to the arrest of a majority of the pri
soners. , The question naturally arises, npon
what foundation were the arrests based ? Of
the tweniy-two persons arrested on and since
the 14th of May, four were suborned by
bribery, torture and threats. Nine, after
confinement in felon’s cells and much suffer
ing, were released without any explanation
whatever. Tbe remaining nine are tbe
signers of this card. Tbe prisoners arrested
in May were at Fort Pnlaski before their re
moval to'Atlanta. Their, cells were as dark
as dungeons, without ventilation, and but
four by seven feet. No bed or blanket was
famished. The rations consisted of a sties
of fat pork tbree times each week, and beef
too unsound to eat the remaining days. A
piece Qf bread for each meal, soup for din
ner, and coffee for breakfast, finished the
bill of fare. An old oyster can* was given-
each prisoner, and in this vessel both ccffee
and soap were served.
It may be said that the soldiers received
nothing belter, but these citizens were not
soldiers, and'their friends were able, willing
and anxious to give them eveiy comfort.
Why were they denied the privilege ? Re
fused all communication with their friends,
relatives or. counsel, they were forced to live
in these horrid cells night and day, prostra
ted by heat and maddened by myriads ot
musquitoes. The calls of nature were at
tended to in a bucket which was removed
but once in twenty-fonr hoars.
; At McPnerson Barracks we were placed in
bells five feet eleven inches wide by ten feet
long. These cells were alter wards divided,
reducing their width to two -feet ten inches.
This is terrible bnt true. Upon the arrival
of the officer sent from Washington to iuves
ligate . the arrests, the partitions were re
moved. Neither bed’ or bidding was fur
nished for from two to five days. We were
not permitted to see onr triends, families or
counsel nntil after memorials to Congress
bad aroused tbe whole com iy to the enor
mity of the onirage. Even after this, our
letters breathing the affection and sympathy
of a wife or mother were subjected to in
spection. The prison sink was immediately
at onr cell doors, and emitted a stench that
was horrible.
At times, when some humane soldier wa3
willing to transcend his orders and give
ns a breath of fresh air to soothe onr
distended, bnrsting veins, we wontd ask
him to close the door, preferring to risk
suffocation rather than endare the intolera
ble smell.
Daring all this time we were ignorant of
the changes against us. Of course, we an
cepted the common rnmor that our arrest
grew out of the murder of Asbburo; but
after our counsel was permitted to visit us,
no, definite line of defence conld be planned
in tbe absence of all specifications.
We were famished with a copy of the
charges against ns on the 27th day of Jane,
our trial having been set for the 29th. The
intervening day Was Sunday, and we were
140 miles irom; the scene of the murder and
the residence of onr witnesses.
Several of the undersigned never, saw tbe
detective Whitley nntil weeks after their ar
rest When they did meet him, he never
presmhed to treat them with disrespect.
Recent developments new to ns have shown
him to be infamous, and his treatment of
suborned witnesses will be proven by those
who know the facts. Our friends and the
press have -not exaggerated the barbarity
wilh which we weretxeated, but they should
not throw tbe responsibility upon a con
temptible detective who would only glory in
tbe notoriety his infamy would give him.
We fly for higber game. Gen. Meade t .ild
Gen. R. H. Chilton (daring the war Gen.
Lee's Adjutant) upon tbe eve of his depar
ture from Atlanta, that be had left fqll in
structions with Gen; Sibley concerning (he
disposition of tbe Columbus prisoners.
These instructions controlled onr treatment,
and leave no issue as to the. question of re
sponsibility. At the proper lime, and in, a
manner that will not intrude npon your val
uable space, we will make good our position,
and-will show conclusively that this unpar
alleled prosecution was attempted solely for
political purposes;
The offleers-and soldiers of the garrison

A CARPET-BAGGER CONDEMNS THE RADICALS.
A Mr. Boyded, now hailing from North
Carolina, unwittingly took’the last spark of
vitality out of the Radical carcass in a speech
yesterday of six lines In length ! Poor old
Mr. Boyden, in the simplicity of his heart,
exclaimed t- “It-is now proposed to send
arms io North Carolina, that the peonle may
use them against each other!” And pray,
what has been the infamous policy of the
Jacobins for the past three years—or, indeed
for the last thirteen? '“God forbid,” he
cried. “ Wecapnot afford lo fight each
other; keep away your arms!” “Do noth
ing,” says he, (and here he launched a than
derbolt against his party’s whole creed), “to
irritate onr people, but do every thiog in your
power to assuage and heal the excitement
there!” What a. pity this man (carpet
bagger as he is) had not been in the 39th

The skies are indeed, bright. The ac

is proof enough of this. They know not
what coarse to take. So far as Radical mem
bers of Congress are concerned, there is not

The Bridgeport (Coon. ) Farmer says: .
;—— Jy after the nomination of Grant
andTCbifaX, the American Photograph Compa
ny, in this city, entered into a contract with
responsible parties in New York to furnish two
millions of photograph .badges of the illustri
ous pair] for use in the pending political cam
paign. They proceeded to execute the job, and
delivered,the articles according to agreement.

But it was “no go ” The badges would not
sell. There was little or no demand for them—
people did not want them;wonld not have
them. “The deaf and dumb

“played out,” and the qur
candidate,” as

‘on with the 'con;
tracting parties then was how to get out of the
scrape without loss. The ; conclusion was to
ihotograph Seymour and Blair, ahd paste their
