Eighteen months elapse. A Presidential

States show great uneasiness. Manyotpenly

high above the white race intellectually as the
white race is now above them. Mr. Brown
tender states to your correspondent that he will make
oath at any time to the above facts. Mrs.
Mercer is a very pious lady, and told Mr. Brown
next morning that Mr. McCny was a talented
man. and that his remarks the night before had
caused !i r a sleepless night. 1 have conversed
with the gentlemen of deservedly high char
acter in this city, to whom sir. Brown referred
me as being present at the time Gen. McCay
made these statements, and asked the gentle
men, “ Were you present, and did you he.»r Mr.

Iltdical Governor and a Radical Senate of
Georgia, will honor with the highest judicial

that by its stringent oaths so many whites wiil

Mississippi also rejected the constitution
submitted to her people, but as the oaths of
that constitution are not so stringent, and the
whites might give a Democratic majority, she
is denied representation, and her electoral
votes are not to be .cqquted.

TAMMANY IIALL CONVENTION.
I have had occasion lately to speak of
the proceedings of the New Y"ork Conven
tion. I approve them all. [Cheers] I
approve the platform; I approve the nom
inations. The platform announces the
principles for which we Jiaye so zealously
struggled. I have enumerated them be
fore :
Fidelity to the Constitution !
Fidelity to the Union !
Fidelity t,o the rights cf the States !
Fidelity to the liberties of the citizen !
Fidelity to the principles of free gov
eminent!
Fidelity to ihai, policy in matters of fi
nance and taxation which, by paying the
five-twenty bonds in legal tender notes,
will lift from the shoulders of labor the
burthens which oppress it: and by equal
ity ol’ taxation will make it to reap 1 the
just rewards of patient aud cheerful in
dustry. [Applause.]
Governor Seymour and General Blair
have each explicitly declared that they
cordially approved those principles. [Ap
plause ]
Our candidates realize all we expect in
pure, patriotic, able, .cultivated Christian
statesmen. I have known Governor Sey
mour well. I kuew him throughout the
trying scenes of the war. I have closely
watched, for many years, his course and
his opinions ; and 1 tell you in all sinceri

The war was brought to a closh; .John
ston surrendered to Sherman. The last
man laid down his arms. The last
was given up. The State Governments f bTxjd which was shed, the money which was
were then iu full operation and vigor
A voice, “No, no.”] Is this the restoration
your party promised ? Are you willing that
this gigantic civil war should end in this dis
graceful scramble for mere power? Are you
arm l-willing that the lives which were lost, the
they had remained unchanged ; they per
formed all the functions of government in
the preservation of civil society. Some
of the office-holders had Sed ; some had
been killed; some were liable to indict
ment and punishment; but the forms uf
government were there, and the State
Constitutions were as binding as they
ever had been. General Sherman carried
out to their legal conclusion the princi
ples upon which the war was commenced,
lie conquered armies; he subdued h.o.stile
forces He cut with his sword the knot
which tied the States of the Confederacy
together; aud having re established their
relations to the Union, he said to his pris
oners, “Go to your hpu.es in peace.”
This was Union; this was peace; this
was enforcing the Constitution ; this was
maintaining the Union ; this was execu
ting Federal law, while it maintained the
rigl.ts and powers and dignities of the
States unimpaired. Titis was a fit conclu
sion of the war. It asserted Shermau v s
ability as a statesman to be. equal to his
vigor as a soldier. The terms ot that pa

fied with the Republican party iu this.
WHY THEY PROMISE.
They tell you that the work is accomplished ;
that the Union is restored : that whatever is
wrong wiii be speedily righted by the States.
Be not deceived. This is not so. This is one
act of the drama. We are iu the midst of the
revolution. It is driving on with accelerated
speed. Its leaders cannot stop it; its devotees
cannot direct it. They dare not pause. They
will be consumed in the flames which they
have lighted. If they succeed in gaining pow
er by this means, they will to-morrow devise
new purposes and want new powers, and ob
tain them by new means. The spirit of revo
lution is insatiable. It slumbers, hut only to
gain strength. It pauses, but only to acquire
accelerated speed. It uses the cunning devices
and unscrupulous intrigues of the politician;
and if these fail, it will employ the s void o?
the soldier. It uses the Long Parliament and
the- Legislative Assembly—the block and tl,^-
guillotine—and if these faii, it calls for it
Cromwell and Napoleon.
The Radicals understand this. They pass
laws and organize States, and provide for elec
toral votes, and impeach the President, but in
ed that some of them were not registered,
source of corruption and tyranny. [Applause.] | j asked him how many of those votes
