The Late Democratic Meeting in Bal-
timore.
ILETTFR FROM FX-GOVEKNOR SEYMOUR. OF CON
NECTICUT, AND EX-GOVERNOR WALL, OF N. J.
Hertford, Conn., Sept. 8, 1867.
James It. Brewer. Esq.:
Dear Sir—I hasten to answer your favor of
the 5th inst., r.nd regret exceedingly that I
cannot attend the mass-meeting to be held in
vour city on the evening of the 10th.of this
month. In declining your invitation, with
which I have been so highly honored, I am
fully conscious of how much I shall lose by
the sacrifice I am compelled to make, and
would gladly send a different reply if in my
power to do so. A few words expressive of
the setiments which your letter has inspired
may serve to make the only reply I am able to
return you less abrupt than it might otherwise
seem to be. The time chosen for your grand
mass-meeting is strikingly appropriate to the
occasion, which is bringing us good news from
California. I heartily congratulate the De
mocracy of Baltimore, and through them of
Maryland, on the noble victory which has just
been wafted to us from beyond the mountains
—“the Western and Pacific course of our lan
guage and our liberties.” I sa>' of our liber
ties, being rendered more Lopeful of them by
the triumphs in the past year of Maryland,
Delaware, Connecticut, Kentucky and that of
California, which is now ringing through the
land. No more convincing proofs are needed
than these elections afford that the trne work
of “ reconstruction,” on the basis of the Con
stitution, has already begun in the “ free
States,” and being received with applause by
the American people, must invariably go on
till the Constitution of our country is rescued
from the hands that are raised to destroy it.
Other elections, which are soon to follow, can
not but help to confirm this view of the case.
The moral of what has been gained thus far,
where free elections have been held, is the key
to the future of our country. Another year
must determine how far elections of a different
character shall be permitted to thwart the
clearly expressed will of the people in a con
stitutional way.
It is not for me, sir, to sketch for the benefit
of the Democracy of your noble State, who
understand so well the principles of civil lib
erty, any plan of action it may be proper to
pursue in the great battle of the country that
is soon to be fought—and won. I cm not so
presumptuous as to attempt anything of the
kind. But, as you have given me a chance to
make my acknowledgments for the honor of
your invitation, I may perhaps go a step far
ther and say something more. We know too
well the condition of some portions of our
country' at the present time to require any de
scription from me. I need not, therefore, di
late on the deplorable spectacle of a free peo
ple subjected to military power in time of
peace, and, by a monstrously vile system of
registration and coercion, made a party to the
elevation of the blacks over tbe whites of the
South. This, of itself is deplorable enough,
and fraught with evils of vast magnitude.—
But, aside from its immediate effect on States
where the work of destruction has begun, we
see in the Reconstruction Act, so misnamed,
the violation of the great principles of self-
government, which, if permitted to be over
thrown in the Carolinas, in Louisiana, in Geor
gia or elsewhere, would soon be made a prece
dent in wicked hands for the .stablisbmcnt of
the same tyranny over the rest of the States.
The recent threat of a Radical Senator to force
negro suffrage on Connecticut is indicative of
the very' purpose suggested by the Congres
sional plan for the subjugation of the South.
In this condition of things a return to tlie
organic law is the only path of safety' for our
once free institutions. A return to the Con
stitution is the demand of every true friend of
His country.
To reach the Constitution successfully and
clear it of every obstruction which would be
likely to weaken or impair its usefulness or
strength in tlie future, three things, it strikes
me, are necessary for the accomplishment of
the great work, viz: First, the absolute subor
dination (a true American doctrine) of the
military to the civil power. On the successful
vindication of this great principle—a vital one
beyond all question—or failure to sustain it,
will be found to depend the future glory or
sliame of that America which Washington
rescued from the “King’s troops.” Secondly,
the absolute political supremacy of tbe white
race in the government of this country. The
Constitution of Connecticut, the true interpre
ter on this subject of the Constitution of the
United States, has settled the question in Ibis
quarter. Thirdly, a speedy revision of tSe
whole system of taxation, recently borrowed
i from Europe, with all its odious inequalities
j and burtheus, and rendered doubly odious by
! a harrassing “ stamp act,” infinitely worse
j than that which gave birth to the Declaration
of Independence,
I have no time jnst now to pursue these
topics further, nor should i further tax your
patience. I can 'only add, as the sum and
| substance of all I would compress into these
| lines, my sincere desire for the reconstruction
, of the States on the basis of the American
Constitution, and none other. Thus alone
may law, liberty and the Constitution be pre
served.
With renewed acknowledgments, I afh, very
respectfully, yours, &c.,
Thos. H. Seymour.
LETTER FROM HON. JAMES W. WALL, OF
NEW JERSEY.
Burlington, Sept. 5, 1S67.
James R. Brewer, Esq., Chairman, etc.:
My Dear Sir : Y'our invitation to be present
and address the great mass meeting of the
Democracy of Baltimore, to be held in the city
of Baltimore Sept. 10, is this moment received.
I sincerely regret that it will not be in my
power to accept.
I thank you for the kind and flattering assu
rances “that the popularity of my name, and
the high appreciation of my public services,
will insure me a most cordial reception, and
that my presence, will Jy> highlj^gratifying to
all the lovers of -jo- .Maim at in Maryland.’
In all U ''”” t "Li.ical actions during the late
frightful civil conflict, I was animated by a
pure and ardent devotion to the best interests
of a common country, engendered by the seri
ous apprehensions that the enemies of consti
tutional freedom and a representative form of
government—the men who had openly pro
claimed the Constitution “a league with bell
and a covenant with death'*—were encour
aging civil strife, that they might secure power
and establish a military despotism in the fierce
excitement and abnormal condition of affairs
such strife would engender. Our present
alarming condition is but the full and perfect
realization of my worst apprehensions.
The condition*is but the maturing fruit of
the obnoxious plant—civil war. “The chil
dren of this generation” conceived themselves
wiser than those “children of light, their
fathers, and attempted to do that which the
men who framed our Constitution declared
impossible: namely, “to restore a severed
Union by the sword," and to win back good
will and affection by the coercive agencies of
war. “The sword can divide, but can never
cement this Union by the blood of its citizens,’
said Eldridge Gerry in .Urn Constitutional
Convention. Said Oliver Ellsworth, afterward
Chief Justice: “Attempt to execute the laws
of the Union by sending an armed force against
a disohodient State or States, and the nation
will be involved in uutold calamities- The
kv.^uooacBS<a
Constitution will soon cease to be regard, d by
the victorious party, and a military despotism
ingulf the civil rights aud liberties of the cit
izens.” Said Gen. Jackson, in his farewell
address: “If civil strife is*once begun, and
the citizens of one section of the country ar-
raved against those of another, let the battle go
as'it mav. there will be an end of the Union.’
The warning words ot patriots and states
men were sounding in tae ears of our people
when the tramp of the armed thousands of
the North deafened them so that they could
not hear, and the blazon of their banners, the
glitter of their muskets, but above all. the
bounties which stay-at-home patriotism offer
ed to those who risked their lives at the front
blinded them so that they could not see. The
short but eventful period that has intervened
since the close of the bloody struggle has.
however, been sufficient to open the cars aud
unseal the eves of those who were not wilfully
deaf or blind. The juggling fiend of Aboli
tionism, the master-spirit who ensnared our
people to their ruin, has now thrown off the
mask of “The Union and the Constitution,”
and stands revealed like tlie unveiled Prophet
of Kborassen, in all its native hideousness,
and may exclaim like Mokanna:
“ Here judge if hell with all iis power to damn,
Can add one curse to the foul thing I am.”
Rapidly the most extreme heresies of the
wildest fauatics of the Abolition faction are
being incorporated into the policy of what, by
a frightful misnomer, is called the Republican
party. Men who, but a short time ago, repu
diated. with loathing, negro equality and ne
gro suffrage, are now clamoring loudly for
both. Senator Trumbull who, hot a twelve
months ago, in the U. States Senate, greeted
with derisive laughter “the State suicide and
conquest ” theory of Thaddeus Stevens, now
adopts and endorses it heartily. Like Macbeth,
who, after having murdered Duncan and Ban-
quo, exclaims:
“I am in blood
Slept in so far, that should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.”
So this Republican party finds itself impelled
to proceed, either from a lack of courage to
retard its steps, or from a want of principle to
acknowledge its past errors. Step by step it
has been led from one usurpation to another
by the superior will and cunning of Stevens
and Phillips, protesting at each advance against
their heresies, but finally acquiescing, and in
the end becoming a most zealous and enthusi
astic convert.
If this State suicide conquest theory of
Stevens be adpted, then the government of
our fathers is overturned, and a worse than
Oriental despotism established on its ruins.
If the government of the United States may
make a conquest of a Territory where it pos
sesses rights and owes duties, then it can in
that way dispense with its rights and abandon
its duties. Not only so, it can subvert tbe
very institutions it is bound to protect, even if
a majority of the people have unlawfully and
outrageously, if you please, attempted to re
nounce their allegiance. If the result of the
late war was conquest, then all the institutions
of the States may be changed. If it is con
quest, thefe is no lunger any constitutional
duty to protect tlie conquered portion of the
country from invasion or insurrection, for the
conquest may be abandoned at pleasuue, and
there is no longer any duty to hold courts un
der the Constitution, or provide for the wants
of commerce. Conquest means emphatically
acquisition by the power of force, and it car
ries with it the right to dispose of the conquer
ed terrtiory and people at the pleasure of the
conquering nation, subject oniy to the requi
sitions of humanity and the rights of other
nations, if any they may have.
Such a doctrine as this must be resisted at
all hazards, for it is revolutionary and contem
plates the overthrow of the Constitution and
the. Union together. The Radical oligarchy,
now controlling the Rump Congress, means
revolution. They fully intend to absorb with
in themselves, as the central directory of the
nation, the executive and judicial powers.—
They have already, with an insolent audacity
that should have been rebuked at the time, at
tempted to reduce the President to a mere min
isterial officer to register Congressional decrees.
President Johnson appears at last to have been
startled into a full consciousness of the insidi
ous designs of these unscrupulous fanatics, ahd
manifests a determination to obey the injunc
tions of his solemn oath of office, “ to preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution ol the
United States.”
These conspirators against constitutional lib
erty mean impeachment, and despotism before
impeachment, and condemnation before trial.
They mean to seize upon the powers of the
government by violence ; to bring the Presi
dent before the bar ot the Senate, stripped of
the functions of his office by a Congressional
decree. Let him meet them at tlie threshold
of their traitorous revolutionary attempt with
all the powers with which the Constitution of
the country has invested him, aud let the true
friends of the Constitution and the Union rally
around him and be ready to sustain him at
every hazard in the struggle with these mad
zealots, who seem determined that the country
shall not have peace or restoration except by
again passing through tlie fires of civil strife,
or by the degrading sacrifice of all those con
stitutional rights and liberties that patriotic
men hold dearer than their lives.
The Radical system of treating elections as
though they had never been held, if they hap
pen to be unfavorable to themselves, as illus
trated in the case of your own able and patri
otic Senator, and in that of the Representatives
from Kentucky, is to be pursued throughout
in reference to all the elections in the Northern
St-ites. They seem detertimed to drive an in
dignant and outraged people from the ballot-
boxes to the cartridge-boxes to redress their
grievances; and we are nearly at the point
now where the outrages of the mother country
found our patriotic forefathers when they de
clared that, a 14 long train of abuses and usur
pations, pursuing invariably the same object,
evinces a design to reduce us under an absolute
despotism. It is our right, it is our duty to
throw off such government and provide new
guards for our future security.
Yours truly, . James Y . Y\ all.

Wouldn’t re Drove. — A Massachusetts
Yankee lately we.it tc Virginia to try his luck
on a farm. He purchased a pair of mules to
work the farm with, ai d, as is customary, iie
selected names for them which he though best
suited for the “disloyal” neighborhood where
he settled, and endeavored to get the good will
of his “rebel” neighbors by so doing. He
accordingly selected the name of “Lee” and
“Stonewall” for his ‘‘critters.’ lie took his
moles cat in the field one inorningand hitched
them to a plow, and when all was ready, lie
endeavored to start.
“Wo. Stonewall! geo, Lee!” exclaimed the
Yankee until he was hoarse.- But navy “ wo
gee” would they Presently an unsophistica
ted neighbor came along, and seeing the Yan
kees predicament, very naturally inquired the
cause. The Yankee retilied,
“Damn me if 1 can tel!, partner, only that
them ’er critters won’t move, no hovV.”
“ Let me try ’em, stranger,” replied the
neighbor, “ I think 1 can get ’em to go. What
names have you got for ’em? '
“Well,” responded the Y'ankee, “ tiie off’-
hand one is Lee at id the other Stonewall.”
“ Lee and Stonewall,’ exclaimed the neigh
bor. “are very good names; but let me tell
you one tiling, stranger, you cant get them
mules to budge as long as you call ’em them
names. Don t you know that i-.ee and Stone-
wad wouldn't be drove ’
Tire Y'ankee acknowledged the corn, and
asked what names he thought would best suit
the critter?.
“ Well, I’ll tell you,” replied the Virginian,
“call 'em Pope and Banks.
The result was that the Y'ankee bad no more
trouble with his mules, for they “skedaddled”
at the Virginian’s suggestion—Pope ar.d Banks.
