“The spacious firmament on high,
With ail the blue ethereal sky
And spangled hoaveus— a shining frame—
Their Great Original proclaim.
The Sun and the Moon, Mercury, Ve
nus Mars, Jupiter and Neptune, with
their satellites, with the gdistant stars,
with all their brilliant constellations,
and the Milky Way, rolling in their
grand rounds,
“In reason’s oar thoy all rejoice,
And utter forth their glorious voice,
Forever singing, as they shine.
The Hand that made us is Divine.
[Applause.]
This is the music of the spheres !
Why should not the same harmony
prevail among different classes and
races of men where like differences and
inequalities exist, formed by the samo
Divine Hand ? The first discord that
ever was raised in the moral universe
sprang from those who were indis
posed to recognize those differences
which the same Divine Hand had
created among those who surrounded
the Throne of the Almighty Himself.
In Heaven there are differences from
Archangel down.
Notwithstanding the dangers which
now threaten our Institutions to which
I have alluded, and upon which I shall
say something more presently, I can
but trust that now since the Temple of
our Liberties has survived the shock
of war, with all its pillars and arches
unimpaired, and with only a few
breaches in the outer wall — now that
slavery, so-called, no longer exists in
any one of the States—now that this
thorn in the body politic is removed
forever —now that all the States are
perfectly alike, even as to this matter
of the subordination of the colored
race, that we may enter upon anew
and higher career of civilization and
renown. I can but hope and trust that
under Providence the vision of Ezekiel
will be more fully fulfilled in its appli
cation to the wonderful institutions of
this continent than ever before.
The great-danger which now threat
ens, to which I have alluded, is the ap
prehension that the Civil Bights Bill
may pass, and if it does, resistance to
its execution, ending in violence and
bloodshed, will arise in the South to
such an extent that the land will again
be occupied by Federal forces, and
that another war will ensue, which may
ultimately terminate in the entire over
throw of the Stato Governments and
the subversion of the whole fabric of
our institutions. It is evidently the in
tention of the-extreme Centralists and
Radicals to pass this Bill, and, as I ap
prehend, for this very purpose. Con
stitutional liberty they have no desire
for. Consolidation and Empire are
what they have ever been aiming at.
Notwithstanding all their professions
of devotion to the liberty of the col
ored race, they, in fact, have no at
tachment for the liberties of either
race. And I say to my colored friends
that in ease of the result now so seri
ously apprehended by me, their liber
ties, as well as those of the whites,
will go in one common ruin. Until
recently, I felt almost assured
that the next House of Repre
sentatives would be Democratic, and
that this danger might be thus averted.
For the first time in ten years
the issue presented by the Radicals on
the Civil liights Bill gave the Democra
cy a decided advantage before the peo
ple in the Congressional election. This
measure is almost as unpopular North
with the masses as it is at the South.
This was the State of things when the
Louisiana embroglio broke out. The
prospect of a Democratic triumph was
never more favorable. It was then, as
I believe, that the extreme Radicals
North appealed to their ally, Warmoth,
in Louisiana—who is the master spirit
there, and who is in perfect sympathy
irLibpir ox .Csnsoii
“Help, Cassius, or we sink!” And
who was Warmoth ? I would not in
tentionally do him any injustice. I
don't know tha man, but I understand
ho was dismi;ised from the army by
(Ten. Grant for stealing. Hence his
hatred for Grant. He was the first
Governor of Louisiana under the Re
construction Acts, and by his corrup
tion in that office made for himself not
less than four million of dollars. Bul
lock, as I understand the case, was a
saint to him. He is, however, a man
of great talents and of a high order of
intellect, but a thorough centralist In
his politics. It was at the time re
ferred to, whan the Centralists found
themselves without their needed
political pabulum, that, I believe,
this Louisiana outbreak was concocted
by Warmoth, with a view of aiding the
extreme Radicals in getting up anew
war excitement, which Is the only pa
bulum upon which they had fed for
the last six years. How the result of
these pending elections will be with
this aid and comfort to the Radicals,
from this Louisiana affair, I cannot
venture an op inion ; the sequel must
show. I still can but hope that it will
fail. If it, however, should succeed,
and a majority of the extreme Radi
cals should be returned to the next
House, and this measure now pending
shall be passed at the next session of
the present House, should we, there
fore, despair and give up the struggle
between Centralism and Constitutional
ism ? I trust not. But the only sure
hope for the future Jwil! depend upon
the Southern people. Will they be
patient and still look to a redross of
grievances through the peaceful in
strumentalities of the Constitution and
not to violence ? If they do, all may
yet be well. To be candid with you,
I fear they will not. Hence our
condition, as I view it, is so analogous
to the condit: on of affairs in 1860. —
Hence the imminent perils by which
we are now surrounded. My ad
vice to you, now in advance, is not to
resort to violence, but to the peaceful
modes of the Constitution for a rectifi
cation of the great wrong that will be
done even in case this assault upon the
Constitution by the Centralists shall
be successful. If there be no violence,
no mobs, no cause for sending troops
and bayonets among us, but an appeal
made to the Courts, my own opinion is
that Constitut.onalism will still triumph
before those tribunals. I cannot en
tertain the idea that the Supreme
Court of the Unitrd States will ever
hold it to be Constitutional for Con
gress to force mixed schools upon the
States. In that case all that will be
necessary to rescue the liberties of the
country will b3 to arouse the Democ
racy from Maine to California, and
from the Gulf to the Lakes, and rally
them in a united effort and in a com
mon cause, as thoy were aroused by
Jefferson in 1799. What might, have
been achieved, and what I still hope
may be achieved In the approach
ing elections for Congress may have
to be postponed with patience until
the election of 1876. This will be
the year of :he grand Centennial of
American Free Institutions, the facts
and memories of which will be a pow
erful adjunct for such a rally of the
Democracy if they will but avail them
selves of it. In this connection I must
say I greatly regret the tone of many
of our leading journals and public
men in reference to the grand Centen
nial celebration of 1876. The dispo
sition of many of these seem to be that
the people of the South will stand
aloof from this celebration, and leave
it entirely to the Centralists. For my
self, I regard this eminently as a South
ern day. Immortality was given to it
chiefly by Southern men. I would
have the South, therefore, to go up to
Philadelphia in all their might and
strength. I would have them to call
for the reading of the records. It
should be such a time as that in Jeru
salem, when the people on their return
from Babylonish captivity, assembled
in the Temple newly constructed, to
hear read those Oracles of God which
had been neglected by them for
four hundred years, and from their
departure from which had sprung all
their grievances and troubles. Ezra
opened the books and read from morn
ing to evo, while the people listened
aud wept. Not getting through the
first day ho continued so to read, and
the people so to listen and weep for an
entire week, and when ho was through
they all again renewed their vows to
adhere, for the future, to tho covenants
of their Fathers. So I would have it at
Philadelphia. All visitants from for
eign nations should know the truth as
to the history of this Country. The
Centralists may have made breaches iu
the outer walls of our Constitution,
they may have desolated our laud, de
molished our. cities, laid waste our
our beautiful country and deluged it In
blood in their attempt to undermine
and overthrow the principles upon
which the liberties of the continent rest,
but I protest against our allowing them
in silence to rob us of the glories and
memories of the 4th of July, 1776.
[Loud applause.]
I must say something further about
the Louisiana’ troubles, especially as
what I have said on this subject else
where seems to be so littfe understood
by many. 1 have said that I do not
think that censure should be cast on
Gen. Grant for these troubles. A friend,
to-day, called my attention to the fact
that the bogus Chattanooga Conven
tion, now in session, had taken the
same position, and that I and they are
iu accord upon that subject. To all
such I have simply to reply that I do
not permit any one to make political
issues for me, and, above all, I do not
belong to that class of men who fight
an issue simply because It is presented
by a political adversary. Nothing is so
important in political discussion as to
look well to the issue involved. Some
men’s politics are governed solely
upon the principle of antagonism. They
remind me of an incident which oc
curred on my going to Elbert county
to make a speech, on a certain occa
sion. I crossed Broad river at Bul
lard’s Ferry. I was to speak the next
day at Elborton —eleven miies off. Af
ter Mr. Bullard had ferried me over
the river I asked him if he was going
up to town the next day ? “ No,” said
ho, “ I understand Aleck Stephens is to
speak there to-morrow, and all I want
to know is on which side he stands
and I always go against him.” [Laugh
ter.] “ That, Mr. Bullard,” said I, “is
the reason you are always beaten. You
give him choice of sides and of course
he always takes the best.” [Laughter.]
“ I am Alec Stephens, so you had better
go up to-morrow and hear me, and see
whether lam right or not, aud if you
And me to be right then you may be
sure I shall succeed, and that you
ought to support and not oppose the
right.” This reply seemed to strike
him. Next day I saw him in the crowd.
After the speech was over he came up
and said that he believed I was right,
and that ho should support me, and
from that day onward I never had a
faster friend in the District. Those
who permit themselves to be governed
simply from the fact of the position of
their adversaries are not unlike the
monkey in another story I hoard re
lated once by my old friend, Judge
Jones, of Pauldirfg. The monkey picked
up a fiddle and made his escape with it
to to the cone of the house. There ho
commenced experimenting with his
stolen trophy. As he drew the bow
across the strings, startled at the
music, he jumped backwards a step ;
then drew it again and took an
other backward step, and so repeating
until ho got to the end of the roof,
leap backwards, which brought him
and the fiddle to the ground, tut with
his neck broken. [Laughter.] Now I
don’t belong to that class of people
who leap backwards from the music of
my adversaries without regard to the
character and truth of their positions.
Nothing is so essential to the success
of any party as the truth. I don’t
care what the Chattanooga Convention
may do or say, their object is mis
chief ; but if they happen to utter a
truth I shall not join issue with them
on that. My object in what I have
said about Gen. Grant’s conduct in
Louisiana is to keep the Democracy
and the friends of Constitutional liber
ty everywhere from making a false is
sue, and one on which they must be
defeated, in my opinion, upon a full
and just hearing of tho case. Nothing
can contribute more towards Grant’s
renomination, or can render him more
popular with the people than unfound
ed or unjust charges against him. The
world has notgolu enough in it, nor hu
manity honors to confer high enough to
tempt me to seek or to gain either the
one or the other, or both, by pandering
to the passions, ignorance or prejudice
of the people, eveii by withholding the
expression of my opinion on any sub
ject which by any may be deemed to be
involved in the contest. [Loud ap
plause.] I stand upon the truth, as I
understand it, without regard to whom
it may help or hurt. When my Demo
cratic friends charged upon General
Grant the troubles in Louisiana I
thought it duo to truth to tell them I
thought it was a mistake. These trou
bles all sprung from and were due to
the abominable Reconstruction policy
of Congress, against which it was well
known that Grant was opposed. He
was denounced by Sumner and other
Centralists for his celebrated report
favoring immediate restoration. This
was called by them “ a whitewashing
report.” This matter of the conduct of
General Grant in the Louisiana affair
is a minor one, in my opinion, in the
present contest. I have been charged
in expressing the views I have upon
this subject with General
Grant. The fact is I have only been
defending tho truth, as I understood
it, and with a view of preventing the
friends of Constitutional Liberty from
being diverted from tho great and real
principles involved in this contest to
this minor and false issuo. The
strength of our cause is in maintain
ing truth in all matters and in doing
perfect justice to all parties. Truth is
the foundation upon which our cause
rests. It may be trodden down under
foot for a while, but
“ Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers,
But error wounded writhes in pain,
And dies amidst lier worshippers.”
Now, General Grant in this matter
has done nothing from the beginning
in 1872, as far as I have seen, but en
force judicial process. It lias been
stated that he has decided that Kel
logg has been duly elected when he
was not, aud that he had installed him
as Governor of the State by Federal
bayonets. This was certainly a gross
usurpation if it be true, but as I under
stand the facts it is not true. I speak
of the facts—the truth of the facts as
I understand them. General Grant
did not decide that Kellogg was duly
elected, but. on the contrary, refused
so to do. Two very eminent jurists in
the United States, the Hon. Reverdy
Johnson and Mr. Charles O’Conor, have
recently entered the lists of those who
thus charge General Grant, and blame
him for all these troubles. They both
set out with the assumption that Grant
had decided in the first instance that
Kellogg was “duly elected.” These
mighty “ Bulls of Bashan,” however,
soon got to goring themselves worse
than they did the object of their common
assault. With this controversy between
them I have nothing to say, except that
in my opinion the jurist of Baltimore
got the best of tho fight with his an
tagonist of New York on tho points
raised between themselves. They both
boiiig iu error in their common pre
mise, of coarse made a botch in their
conclusions. The Now Y’ork Tribune
comes out in an article stating that
Gen. Grant ought to be impeached.
The answer to the editor of tho Tribune
which Gen. Grant would probably
make, is what ho is reported to have
replied to Mr. Trumbull’s speech
against him in New York in 1872. Some
friend, greatly outraged at that attack
of the Illinois Senator upon him, went
to Grant, supposing that he would be
equally outraged at it, and asked if he
had seen Trumbull’s speech. “ Yes,”
repliod the imperturable Grant, “ but I
do not know why Mr. Trumbull abuses
me so, for I have done nothing but ex
ecute his own laws.” I have a word
for this editor of the Tribune. For
what, I would inquire of him, ought
Gen. Grant to be impeached ? I repeat, I
am no defender of Gen. Grant further
than being a defender of the truth may
render me so. If I am in error as to
the truth of the facts, then I am will
ing to be corrected. I am for simple
justice to Gen. Grant, as I am towards
every other human being in tho land.
Fiat justitia caelum mat is the motto
with me towards the highest as well
as the lowest, In this Louisiana
matter Gen. Grant held, at the be
ginning, that the question of who
was duly elected to the office of
Governor and Legislators of that State
was not one that he had any right to
decide, but that it was a judicial ques
tion under tho Enforcement Act; and
it was not until after Kellogg had in
stituted his proceedings to establish
his right to the office, and had ob
tained a judicial decroo, which was re
sisted by Warmoth, that Gen. Grant
gave orders for the due enforcement of
the Judicial process, under the author
ity of the Acts of 1805, as
well as that of the Enforcement Acts of
1870. It was under these judicial pro
ceeding, thus commenced and thus
prosecuted, that Kellogg became in
stalled as Governor. Similar questions
involving Kellogg’s right to this office
were raised in the State Courts, and
finally decided by the Supreme Court
of the State of Louisiana, as they had
been decided by the Federal Judge. It
is not for me on this occasion, to say
anything of the correctness of any or
either of these decisions. Afterwards,
on tho 25th day of February, 1873,
Gen. Grant sent a special message to
Congress on the subject of Louisiana
affairs. Ho stated expressly to them
that there wero two parties in 'tho State
claiming to be Governor, and two-sets
of men claiming to be the Legislature
of that State, and that ho had
declined to interfere In any way
further than to enfore the judicial
process. Ho urged upon Con
gress to take such action in tho matter
as they might think right and proper
under all the cii’cumstancos. He said,
among other things, that disclosures
had been made showing “ frauds and
forgeries” on both sides to such an
extent as to render it doubtful whether
either of the contending parties had re
ceived a majority of the votes actually
cast at that election, and wound up his
Message by saying thgt it was due that
ho should inform them that if they
should adjourn without making any
provision for the anomalous stato of
things in Louisiana, he should feel it
to be his official duty to recognize and
support that government in Louisiana
which was recognized and upheld by
the Courts of the State. Is there any
thing in this which would justify im
peachment or even censure? In the
same message he distinctly declared
that, in his judgment, he had no “right
to review the judgment of the Court
upon the jurisdictional or other ques-
Itellogg in the Federal Court. Was
there any error in this? If so, I confess
I don’t see it.
lam defending tho truth only. For
what, then, would the man of the Tri
bune have Grant impeached ? Was it
because he declared he would sustain
that government in Louisiana which
was recognized and upheld by the
courts of that State ? If these courts
were corrupt, whence did they origi
nate? All know they sprung from
those monstrous Acts of iniquity and
wrong known as the Reconstruction
Acts, of which, if I am not mistaken,
the man of the Tribune was a most
zealous advocate.
If he and Warmoth and others are
aghast at this or any other one of those
great evils, from which the people of
Louisiana are now suffering so much,
they should remember they are but
the legitimate fruits of their own poli
cy. Their position is not unliko that
of the great arch-fiend, who when he
reached the confines of Hell, on his way
to Eden, stood affrighted at tho hide
ous monster, Sin. “Whence and what
art thou, execrable shape!” ho ex
claimed.
This seems to be the condition of the
Tribune man. He is aghast at the hide
ous features of his own offspring, and
would now shamefully got rid of it by
laying it at the door of Gen. Grant.
With reference to the third term, all
I have to say is, that I am not Presi
dent-making. I am for inculcating,
teaching and impressing upon tho
minds of the minds of the people those
great truths of Jeffersonian Democra
cy—that Democracy from which all
our liberties sprang, and upon tho
maintenance of which they can alone
be preserved.
On this third term question I have
simply to say what I have often said
before, that there is no Consttutlonal
prohibition against it, and with me it
would not be a matter of any concern
how long a man held office, but how he
discharged his duties.
The question should be, not who gov
erns, but how he governs—not how
long or for how many terms a man
should fill an office to which ho la con
stitutioually eligible, but in what man
ner he will perform tho high trusts
confided to him. Presidents are elect
ed for four years, Senators for six years,
Members for two years, and there is
no more rational objection to a third
term or a twelfth term for a President
than for a Senator or Member.
Now a few words in conclusion as to
the future. If tho present elections
for Congress in the States result as I
hope they may, in a Democratic
triumph, then all will be hopeful
and bright for the future. The Cen
tralists will have been hurled from
the representative branch of tho Go
vernment as they wore in 1800. No
fears need be entertained as to tho Civil
Rights Bill, even if it should be passed
at the next session of Congress. This
great contest between Centralism and
Constitutionalism being decided in fa
vor of the right, all will go well, if you
will but be putioat and appeal to the
peaceful instrumentalities of tho Con
stitution for tho future. But in case
the friends of the Constitution are de
feated in this contest, then I urge you
not even then to despair of liberty.
Let there bo still another grand rally
of tho Jeffersonian Democracy in 1876.
And if the leaders, as well as tho
masses, will in that contest do as they
did under Jefferson in 1799, in my
judgment, an equally glorious tri
umph will attend their efforts. I will
then probably be dead and gone. How
long I may remain on this eartli I
know not. My days are evidently fast
drawing to a close. But I am, under
the providence of God, permitted to be
here to-night to proclaim these senti
ments, and if I knew this was the last
time I should ever address an audi
ence of my countrymen, nothing would
be more consonant with my feelings
than to give forth as my dying words,
Come weal or come woe,” adhere to
the principles of Jeffersonian Democ
racy now and forever. Under that
banner make a grand rally of tho
friends of Constitutional Libei’ty in all
tho States in 1876, and in God trust for
the result.
