«ata Great Speech of Hon. George H. Pendleton. At Grafton, West Virginia, Thursday, July 16, 1868. A MASTERLY REVIEW OF THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF THE DAY. IXTROVVCTiOs. Mr. Chainhanand Gentlemen: It will be im possible for ine to make myself heard in this itnraense audience unless you keep quiet, and 1 chiill ask that while I am speaking you will allow me to proceed without interruption. I thank you, gentlemen, for the very cordial re ception you have just given me. The Chair man of your State Executive Committee, who invited me to attend your meeting to-day, told me that 1 had no truer friends in the Union than I would meet here in West Virginia.— You have proven his statement true. I catne obedient to your bidding. 1 desired to see yon, to make your personal acquaintance, and to return to you my thanks for the warm and constant support of your delegates in the Na tional Convention. 1 came to show you that no personal disappointment lingers in my breast or dampens for a instant the ardor of my efforts for the success of our party; that far above all personal consideration I rate the success of the principles in which I believe, and whoever shall bear the flagon which those principles nre inscribed, I shall be found close by his side, in the thickest of the fight, to cheer him with my voice and to aid him with my arm. I came to urge upon you, Democrats and Republicans alike, to trample under foot every prepossession, and prejudice, and passion, if it were as dear as life itself, and, rising to the height of this great struggle, to remember that we have only a little life to give and a noble, enduring Government to save. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE PARTY OF LIBERTY AMD PROGRESS. I am a party man. I avow it, but not, I trust, in any narrow or sectarian sense. I am attached from conviction to the principles of the Democratic party. I have studied its his tory from the foundation of the Government. In the States I have found it to be the party of liberty and progress. In the Federal Govern ment I have found it to be the exponent of that fundamental principle of the Constitution that “all powers which are not granted are re served.” It has been the consistent opponent of consolidation in one system, and of exces sive administration in the other. It has been at once the firm supporter of the rights of the States and of the just powers of the Federal Government.. In every vicissitude of its his tory it has appeared to direct us with its wis dom, and to extricate us with its courage, and to-day it stands as it did in 1708 and 1799, under the guidance of Mr. Jefferson, pointing us to the path of safety, which is now as it was then—the Constitution—the path of fra ternal harmony and peace. THE NEW YORK CONVENTION THE SYMBOL OF A RESTORED UNION. The Convention which sat in New York was an august assembly. It was the true council of our party. It embraced oiii best, and purest, and wisest men. The roll of the States was called, and not one was without a representa tive. The doctrine of State suicide was not recognized- The dissolution of the Union was not acknowledged. Every Slate was invited to be present, and every State accepted the in vitation. Every State selected such citizens ns she chose; nnd (bus it happened that North Carolina, and South Carolina, and Georgia, and Virginia, sat, ns in the days of the Revo lution, in fraternal council with Massachusetts, and New York, and Pennsylvania, and New Jcrttey ; nnd that Hampton, and Preston, and Forrest, sat side by side with Stcedmau and Morgan. The Convention was the sign, and the sym bol, and the prophecy of a restored Union, and a harmonious people. It rose 1o the dignity of its high duty. The eyes of the world were upon its proceedings—greater than the Holy Alliance, which subjugated peoples and divi- aui empires, its mission was to enfranchise the people of our own race, to restore the Union of our States, and to maintain the in stitutions of civil liberty. For flip first tinn- in their history, the American people realized that free government was in danger, and that the fate of the Republic trembled in the bal ance. They had been taught to believe that freedom was indigenous to our soil, and, shut ting their eyes to the facts connected with our Revolution, they had hugged to themselves the delusion that whatever the storm of faction, or passion, or revolutionary fervor, liberty at least was safe. They had awakened from the dream. As they sent representatives to she Convention, they charged them, as the dictator of old was charged: “See to it that no detri ment happens to the" Republic.” THE PLATFORM. By unanimous vote they adopted Redeclara tion of principles—“fidelity to the Constitu tion;” “fidelity to the Union;” “fidelity to the rights of States;” “fidelity to the rights of the citizens;” “fidelity to the principles of civil liberty;” “fidelity to that policy in matters of finance'and taxation, which, by paying the public debt in legal-tender notes, will lift from the shoulders of labor the burdens which op press it, and by lightening the measures of taxation, will secure to it the just rewards ot a cheerful and contented industry.” [Applause.] THE NOMINEES. And the assertion of these principles was nlso, by a uuaufnious vote, confided to one who is worthy of the trust, by his age and ex perience, and intelligence, and cultivation; by his honesty, his patriotism, and his unsullied reputation. By the possession of every virtue which adorns a public or a private life, Hora tio Seymour stands the first of statesmen: and his explicit declaration that he approves every Use of those resolutions; that he will stand upon them in the contest; that he will carry them out in future, wherever lie may be placed : gives full assurance that he will make them effective in his administration. [Tremendous applause.] Mr. Blair is an accomplished and experienced Etutesman; a brave and able soldier. Ilis father was the nearest friend of Gen. Jackson —his brother the confident and adviser of Mr. Lincoln, and he himself the disciple aud pro tege of Benton. [Applause.] THE REPUBLICAN PARTY—WHAT IT IS KESPOXSI- KLK FOR. If anything more were needed to fire your heart with the enthusiasm which marked their nomination, let it be drawn from the contrasts which the country to-day presents. The Re publican party has been for eight years in ab solute possession of every department of the Federal Government—it has had the execu tive, and the legislative, and the judiciary, obedient to its behests. It lias had possession of every State government in the Union, with very few exceptions; so few that they hardly serve to illustrate the rule. It has had every department of governmental power, both State and Federal entirely in its hands. If vetoes have been interposed they have been overrid den by a two-tliirds vote. If adverse judicial decisions have been expected, the court has been reorganized by a diminution of judges, or the case has been taken from its cognizance by a change of the law of appeal. If States have interposed an obstacle, their assumptions have been derided, ancLtbeir efforts have been met by the strong arm of the Federal power. Having thus had absolute possession of the Government duriug four years of the war, it has also had possession of it during three years of profound peace. It has had the en- jovineut of power and it is responsible for its use. But iD what condition do we find the coun try to-day . It here is the Constitution which - ey "ere sworn to -uphold? Where is the Lmou which they swore to maintain ? Where are the rights of the States which are essen- tml to the maintenance of that Constitution and the L uton? ‘^STOKED” THE UNION, ETC. We have had three years of profound peace; not a hostile arm has been raised in opposition j to th«* O-wernment. and ret. to-day. ten States j nre held by the strung arm of military power, in acknowledged subjugation, or else are com pelled to submit by that same power to frames of State Constitutions and Government? which they abhor, whose foundation and sole purpose is the enfranchisement of the negro and the t disfranchisement of the white man. 1 know j they' tell us that the work of reconstruction goes bravely on. It does, forsooth, but it is ' not tlie restoration of the South: not the res- j [oration of the Union: not the re-establish-j ment of civil government! Read your tele- j graphic dispatches to-day, and you will see ! that in Georgia men are being tried by milita ry commission for murder. * * * * PERIPATETIC CONG RES MEN. Read the dispatches of the day before, and ' you will see that one of the newly elected j Senators from Louisiana was, six months ago. j a citizen of Illinois, and the other a citizen of j Indiana; tlint the Governor of Florida was, a j year ago, the President of an agricultural .-o- : ciety in Iowa. If I am not mistaken the State 1 of Virginia rejoices in the possession of a ; Governor fresh from the soil of Ohio. [Laugh- j ter.j And if the new-papers do not belie him, I a citizen of our State has declined to be a can- i diilate for Congress in the di.-trict in which he I lives, for the reason that he expec s to be a Senator from Alabama before the fall elections in Ohio shali take place. [Laughter and ap plause.] [Warner, who is referred to, has since been elected U. S. Senator from Alabama.—Ed.] CONGRESSIONAL USURPATIONS. Congress ha3 usurped to itself all power over the State governments of the South. It has destroyed them. It lias ruade use of the Federal Government to destroy the States, and now, with the insatiate spirit of revolution, it turns upon the Federal Government itself. It has destroyed the independence of the Jul.- ciary; it has struck at the existence of tb*- Executive. Our fathers thought they had solved the problem of free government in the creation of the three departments. This Re publican Congress has destroyed all the divis ions which were thus created, and seeks to collect in its own hands all the powers which belong to the system, and, by an inexorable law of its existence, it now stands ready, in ease of party necessity, to transfer them to the grasp of the military dictator. It is reprodu cing in our country the lessons of all history. LEGISLATIVE DESPOTISM AND THE SEQUEL- HIS TORICAL EXPERIENCE. The depotisru of a legislative assembly is the worst despotism in the world; it is tbe most selfish, the most cruel, the most auda cious, and the most short-lived : it end? in an archy, and is speedily followed by the calm repose of tyranny under the order of tLe sword. Recall the history of the Roman Sen ate and the Emperors; recall the history of the Long Parliament and the tyranny of the Commonwealth ; recall the history of the Leg islative Assembly of France, raid of the Con sulate, and the Empire, and read in them the certain prophecy of the fate of this Govern ment if Congressional usurpation shall run its course. OUR OWN EXPERIENCE. Have we not already a part fulfillment of these examples ? Congress has despoiled the Executive of the just power of Ins ollice, and has invested them in the General of our ar mies. It has despoiled the States, and vested them, too, in the same officer. It has given him power over all the military commanders, and to his decision it has referred every ques tion of interpretation or execution of the re construction laws. And this same officer— wielding this enormous power—backed by the army—sustained by all the military organiza tions, by whatever name they may be known, appealing to the ferver which yet remains after the struggles of a terrible war—demands that he shall be elected President of these United States. And the party which support him, declare that if they cannot do it by the votes of you, men of the North, it will elect him by the votes of the negroes and carpet-baggers in the reconstructed States of the South ! THE DANGER ILLUSTRATED AND THE REMEDY SUG- GBS’lED. Gentlemen, do you see no danger here?— When, years ago, we predicted this result, and warned against the first step in revolutionary progress, the Republicans laughed at our feats -called us copperheads and traitors. [Ap plause.] When Napoleon was called on— young, unknown to his countrymen, never having had command even of a regiment—to quell the revolt of the sections, he did it effec tually. In four years he was the First Consul and master of the French people. Here a grand party, through the General of our army, attempts a Similar usurpation, which the Dem ocratic party opposes, as iaimicalile to the whole system of republican government, and it proposes a safe aud simple means by which it may be averted; I read you from the decla ration of principles: “Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in the Union, under the Constitu tion, and of civil government to the American people. “2d. Amnesty for all past po’.iti al offences, and the regulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens.” CORRUPTION AND EXTRAVAGANCE OF THE REPUB LICAN PARTY. The Republican party is the party of usurpa tion. It is aiso the party of corruption. Read the report of the Commissioner of Revenue. Count the number of clerks who are seeking in vain to discover the amount of peculation in the Treasury Department. Go to tiie War Department and see the mutilated archives a.id ask why they were destroyed? Visit the Pen itentiary and count the public plunderers who are confined there. [Applause.] It is the party of extravagance—the war party ended in May, 1S65. Duriug the three years, from July 1, 1865,to July 1, 1SCS, the expenditure of the Federal Government, independent of iuterest on the public debt, was eight hundred and twenty millions of dollars! These were years of peace. The army and navy of the war had been reduced; their back pay had already been made up to them ; immense sales of Gov ernment property, consequent upon the do-v of the war, bad been made, and yet in these three years the Republican administration ex pended eight hundred and twenty millions ot dollars—two hundred and se'cnly millions of dollars a year. CONTRAST WITH DEMOCRATIC ADMIXISRT.YTI0N3. The whole expense of the Government of the United States for four years preceding the war, was two hundred and fifty-six millions of dollars. These eight hundred and twenty mil lions do not include the interest on the public debt. If this be added, the expenditure of each one of these three years will amount to at least four hundred and thirty millions of dollars. The taxation of the year 1806 amounted to five hundred and ninety millions of dollars. The taxation of the last year of Mr. Buchanan's administration amounted to eighty millions of dollars. The expenses of tbe War Department, during the whole of Mr. Polk's administration, including the Mexican war, were ninety million five hundred aud for ty thousand dollars; the expenses of the War Department, for 1868. were one hundred and twenty-eight millions eight hundred and fifty dollars. in one year of Republican adminis tration, in time of peace, the War Department spent thirty millions of dollars more than a four years' Democratic administration did in time of war. [Applause.] The Navy Depart ment for four years, before the war, cost sixty - two million nine hundred and tea thousand dollars. Then our commerce was prosperous, our ships sailed uu every sea and landed in every harbor. To-day we have no commerce, a loreign ting covers all the trade to our sea ports. The ship-builders of Maine are starv ing for warn, of occupation, and yet the esti mate for the Navy, for the current four years, is one hundred and seventeen millions four hundred and seventy thousand dollars. option of the Government.

By these two meas ures alone your debt would be reduced to $830,000,000, and tlie interest would be reduced more than $50,000,000 in gold, annually, aud the accruing revenue would enable you, without further expansion, to pav off the residue of the five-twenties as they mature, and thus to diminish still further the amount of interest and con sequently the taxes If, then, tlie cur rency were iound redundant, gradual con traction could be effected, and as it would come when tbe debt had been paid—when the necessity for large sums of money on the part of the Government had passed away—when taxes were low, it could be accomplished without the oppressiou aud disaster which now attend it.

I have been represented as inimical to the bond holder. Gentlemen, you shall judge me. I am hostile to no class or in terest in the country. 1 simply desire to be just—just to the bond holder, just to the people. I would live up, with scrup ulous fidelity, to the terms of our contracts I would pay the interest of the five-twen ties in gold, beeause the Government has promised to do so. I would pay both principal and interest ot the ten-forti°s in gold, because the Government has promis ed to do so. I would pay the principal of the five twenties in legal lender notes, beeause the bond holders agreed to re ceive them in payment; and as I would not repudiate an honest bargain to make money for the people, so I will not repu diate an honest bargain to make money for the public creditor. ALLEDGED CONSEQUENCES CONSIDERED. It has been said that this policy will give us a depreciated currency. I think not. I think, on the contrary, that just as the public debt is in this way discharg ed, will the certainty of its ultimate re demption become more apparent, and its value be steadily increased. These bonds operate as a mortgage upon the property and labor of the country. There are two thousand million of them. Pay off these two thousand millions, and will not the legal-tender notes be just that proportion more valuable ? But again, give to these notes the ac knowledged undoubted capacity to pay these bonds ; to pay all public obligations, and they immediately increase in value. I know the evils of a depreciated curren cy ; Webster described them. .1 would not aid in depreciating our currency; {ought against it when it was proposed by ; jj ef , r< q county for leave to sell all the land tne Legal-tender act, my warning was j belonging to the estate of Solomon L.

I do not believe that it ' contraction is steadily pushed. Look at every monthly report of the Secretary of the Treas ury, you will find that every month the debt that hears interest in gold is increased; you will find that every dollar that bears no inter est at all, or which bears interest in currency, is converted as rapidly as possible into the bonds that pay interest in gold. And why L this? Is there too much currency in the countrv? Is there a plethora of money? Is speculation rife? No one will dare affirm so much, and yet this work of contraction still goes on, aud value is coined for the bond holders out of the sweat and tears, tlje blood and bones aud muscles of the laboring man. UNITED STATES RONDS. And when we ask the reason, we are an swered by the declaration of the Republican Convention, at Chicago, that the bods must be paid in gold, according to the spirit aud letter of the contract; by a declaration ol its Presi dent that the debt of the bond-holder is as sacred as the grave of the soldier. PAYMENT IN LEGAL TENDERS. I deny that it is according either to the spirit or the letter of the contract tinder which the fi\e-twenty bonds were sold.— I say that neither the spirit nor the letter of the law under which those bonds were issued, nor good faith, nor good morals, nor exact justice to tlie bond-holder, re quire that they should be paid in gold.— They are payable in legal tender, and in this opinion I am sustained by the reso lution of the Democratic Convention iu New York, which declares that where the obligations of the Government do not ex pressly state upon their face—or the law under which they were issued does not provide—that they shall be paid in coin, they ought in right and justice to be paid in the lawful money of the United States. When the legal tender act was passed, the private indebtedness of the country amounted to a very large sum. It was contracted to be paid in gold, but was in fact discharged in paper. The public necessity was alleged to be sufficient rea son for this wholesale confiscation. Is there no public necessity now to demand the payment of the bonds iu the money which was paid for them ? POLICY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ON THIS QUESTION. The policy of the llepublican party is to pay ali these bonds in gold ; to con vert all the currency now outstanding, and all the indebtedness of the United States into these bonds ; to pay interest in gold fur this enormous amount, what ever it may be, and to extend tbe time within which the bonds shall be paid.— semi annually, in gold. What the amount of indebtedness under that system can fi- ! nally be shown to be I cannot say; $2,- j 500,000,000 we know it is now. Less j than that it certainly will Dot be. The j interest upon that sum will be drawn an- ! nually from the people of the country, during all your lives, aud the lives of your youngest children, in order to carry out the dogmas of the Republican party. THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION.

To my U. States and World-wide Eeaders. I have received many testimonials from pro fessional and medical men, as my almanacs and various publications have shown, all of which are genuine. The following letter from a highly educated and popular physician in Georgia, is certainly one of tbe most sensible communications I have ever received. Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimony deserves to be written in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor says of BULL’S WORM DESTROYER: Yillanow, Walker County, Ga., ) June 29, 1800. ) Dr. John Bull — Dear Sir: 1 have recently given your “Worm Destroyer” several trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single instance to have the wished- for effect. I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. I am free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by tbe ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing to you is to find out upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a g>eat deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to tbe teach ings and practice of a great majority of the regular line ot M. L).’s, but 1 see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be efficient,simply because we may Ire ignorant of its combination. For my pan, 1 shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering*humanity which l may be able to command—not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured tiie sole right to use that knowledge. However, 1 am by no means an advocate and supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the countiv, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human llesli is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. I am. sir, most respectfully, J ULius P. Clement, M. D. BULL'S A Good Reason for the Captain’s Faith. READ THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER. Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, I860. Dr. John Bull—^Dear Sir: Knowing the effi ciency of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial qualities it possesses, I send you tbe following statement of my case. I was wounded about two years ago—was taken prisoner and cotitined for sixteen months. Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since I was wounded. I am shot through the hips. My general health is impaired, and I need something to assist nature. 1 have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else. I wish that that is genuine. Please express me half a dozen bottles, and oblige Cait. C. P. Johnson, St. Louis, Mo. P. S.^—The following was writted April 30, 1866, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson. Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. S. Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physician in Central New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir teen years of age he had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, for which 1 gave him your Sarsa parilla. It cured him. I have for ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debility. Perfect success has attended it. The cures efjeded in some cases of scrofula and feoer sores were almost miraculous. I am very anxious for my son to again have recourse to your Sarsapa rilla. He is fearful of getting a spurious arti cle, hence his writing to you for it. His wounds weie terrible, but I believe he will re cover. . Respectfully, Jennie Johnson. It declares that the five-twenty bonds ! ready suffered all the evils, whatever good shall be paid in legal tender, and i may be extracted from the system, they shall be subjected to the same rate : of taxaticu as all other property. It de clares there shall be one currency for the sioner and the soldier; the freedman ! the bond-holder. THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN DEMONSTRATED. RECAPITULATION AND APPEAL.
