AU of the School Books in use at the Lucy Cobb Institute, lit Madame Sosnawski’s Hon AND AT TnE Various Schools in the City, nate, by delivering before a tremendous audience one of those powerful and magnificent speeches for which he is funed throughout the union. It was spoken to a packed audience, com posed of the members of the general assembly end possibly a thousand other entranced and admiring listen- t l-s as folows: Fellow-citizens and Gentlemen of the General Assembly—The verdict just rendered upon my stewardship as a public servant is enough to pene trate the innermost core o! any man’s sensibilities ; and I should be a libel upon myself, as well as upon our common humanity, if I did not feel it most proundly. Never before have my sensibilities been so stirred by any event. Never before has my sense of gratefulness to my country-, men fieen so awakened ns by this ex pression of your renewed and contin ued confidence by the almost unani mous vote of this great people. [Ap plause.] Never belovc have 1 felt so keenly the responsibility which your partiality imposes, bnt which I trust I .may accept without undue presump tion. My life, like tbatrof othertcen, has not been tvilhotit its responsibili ties. There were times during the recent war when the fate of the battle, of the army and of your cause seemed to rest on the courage, the fidelity and endurance of the few men around me. These tvere times since the war at Washington when the defense of your honor, your good name and yotn'-liberties was committed tothe few men who shared with me there the confidence of the Southern people, l'lieie were times of grave responsi bility. They were times when words were things, when silence was oft- times wisdom and forbearance was courage, [Applause], when these Re publican leaders were seeking to pro voke your representatives to rash words and recriminations in order to arouse the North and precipilatc the horrors of another collision which would have wrapped your homes in flames and left them a chirred and smoking ruin. No man but those who served you then can ever know the agony of that awful suspense, nor fully appreciate the dangers that surrounded your liberties; and when last the cause of these Southern States could be voiced in that cham ber and could find an audience in every section of. the couniry, the op portunity was not lost by yonr repre sentatives. [Applause.] But perilous as were these times, never before, as it seems to me, were the embarrassments which environ the country more muncro.us than now nor required for their solution a higher . order of statesmanship. Take any period of our history and weigh the difficulties to be encounter ed. Before the war, and for the first seventy-five years of enr existece, the questions which divided parties were mainly those of policy or expediency, and did not involve the great ques tions of local government nor imperil liberty. And after the war there was but one question—the Southern question. It was a momentous question but it was net embarrassed by other ques tions. But now, with a great debt press ing heavily upon us, with our indus tries dead, with the public mind strain ing after relief and the great financial problem still unsolved, there come to our ears the tnutterings of a wide spread social disorder which threatens to bring additional ruiu in its track, and wilh these embarrassing questions requiring dispassionate . discussion, here are tlic leaders of ope great parly reorganizing its broken ranks on the basis of avowed 'hostility, to thfe’ people of one portion of thehin- ipn, anil in the face of that fact here is our -own party, In .our own midst, threatened with disintegration.” Our lines oi defense seem to be wavering, ready to break, while the bugles are sounding another charge upon those lines. What are you to do about it? What is your duty? That is the great question. My answer to it |s short. Your first duty is to stand by the paity which maiutaios your My second proposition is that the issues between these two parties are made np—the lines are drawn and they are broad and deep lines—as jbtpad aud deep as the gulf which divides a confederated republic from a consolidated empire. - [Ap plause] Which side are yon on? You might to be on the side of the Dem ocratic party, because it stands on the Old doctrines of the fathers, that this is a government of limited powers, that the powers not granted to the general^overnioffiDt are reserved to the states—that is is essential to lib- _ erty that the states manage their local aifiiirsJu their out. from federal ’intervention—1 onels at the polls are the vangnard of tyranny—that the control of votes at the polls by federal force is the con summation of tyranny and the death of liberty. You ought to stand by the Demo cratic party, because it is the party of the (Constitution, and the Constitu tion is the supreme law and the right arm of your defense. The Derao- cratic party has never deni>nnced~tli£ Constitution, never profchwned"' a higher law in politics than the Con stitution, never stretched or warped and perverted the Constitution so as to justify the forcing upon states those diabolisms called governments, which so long cursed and crushed the South. These are familiar truths, I know, but they are great truths and cannot be too often repeated, nor too solemn ly impressed upon the young men of the country. Why, look at the old Jews. They not only taught their laws in the schools, but wrote them on the door-posts, and on the palms of the hands, and engraved them on the memory. And what was the result? I undertake to say that no people, exasperated, dispersed in all lauds, derided in all tongues, “ the jest of folly and the scorn of pride ’’ over lived, who, like these Jews, maintained their principles for 2,000 years, with such unyielding constancy and unrivalled devotion. Now, I do not wish the young men of thO'coun- try to become Jews in faith, but do want them to learn u lesson of politi cal wisdom from this chapter of the Jewish history. .* You ought to stand by the Demo cratic party, because to place it in power is to reform the abuses of the' government. Now I am not going to say that a man is a better man in the sight of Heaven because lie is a Democrat. Nor do I intend to say that the large body of Domocrals are saints and the large body of Aha Re publicans siuneis. But I do mean to say that the Republican party came into power under circumstances so peculiar, and maintains its power by means so tvrong, that practices have grown up under it utterly subversive of our institutions, and in the last degree corrupting to the peopje. I do mean to say that the spirit of cor ruption has crept into the one and that the spirit of reform nerves the other. I do mean to say that if Democrats get into power Yve shall no longer witness the spectacle of cabinet officers hurrying in their resignations, and a President hasten* iug to accept them as shield against the penalty which the law inflicts. [Loud applause.] No longer shall the American citizen’s, at home aad abroad,'bavBtheblush of shame man tle his cheeks because of the com ments cf the foreign press upon the degrading practices of the American Repubfic. [Loud applause.] Rot you should stand by the Dem ocratic party because it is the only paity of your defense, and because of the open threats of the Republican leaders to renew the war upon your political rights. Have you read the Republican press and the utterances of Republican leaders during the recent campaign. They have re opened a fire as concentrated and persistent as that of the allies on the fortress of Sebastopol. Look at the declarations of the. honorable Secre tary of the Treasury, charging that the spirit of rebellion against the government is rife at the South. Look at the utterance of the distin guished Senator from New York who is certainly one of the most com manding men in that party. Look at the still more recent and mere remarkable utterances of the Senator from Maine, thau whom no man in that party speaks with greater authority. Let me read you a few sentences from that Senator. He says “The Confederate soldiers to-day discussion, J casting, two votes in control of our ’■national policy, when the union sol dier in Pennsylvania and New Engs land casts biit one.” Now, the mistake Mr. Blaine makes in this connection is that he ha£bolli juglpr and the politics of the double voter wrong. It is the col ored Republican who votes twice tq organized Democrats once (laughter) and that’s the reason the Democrats were beaten up here in the seventh district. (Great laughter ) But, what else docs this Senator say ? “We will be compelled iu the end, from self-interest and self-pro tection, to resort to that which at the can party at the North,' who have been misled by these,leaders, who, if they sawyou^ danger and the reactionary danger fo their liberties, -(and God grant that some power may enable them to see it be fore it is too late) [loud applause], who, I say, if they saw this common danger would unite with yOu to avert it [Applause]. There are hundreds of thousands of Christian men in that" party who do not sympathize,.''With these wrongs, whose beam *d)fied jnotinlaius Which organize them- info .rivulets and these (nto these into seas/ to the jroll in .grandeur on high. [Applause.] And none of the great purposes of-inan, whether of material Tavelopmenk religion or government, fin be secured, without-it- Govem- ifcient iteelf is organization. • Law is organization,. and. party.is or^ Poo, and I assert that no party/ever did, nor ever will establish its princi ples as the policy of tips government 'without organization. [Continued appliWMft] Why, the old Whigs tried r They said lot ns be in- dot, --lpt everybody vote for" i our OTfiv'e caniTid for President and were overwheli by the moat disastrous defeat. But in 1800 they organized, called a con vention and nominated a candidate. What was the result ? They swept this ebuntry with a majority rarely equaled in the history of.political campaigns. [Applause.] J [ >’ JEFfEBSONIAN DEMOCRACY. f But we are told that Mr. Jefferson says that we must not only obey* the will of the Democratic majority, hut over the riceut afflictions of Southern , ,, , . , - ,,- cities, and whose purses were emptied, lh -° £“ dom of to relievo southern sufferimr.

It is a great wrong, my country men ; it is a wrong to us; it is a wrong to "Democratic principles; it is a wrong to liberty, and it almost breaks the back ot confidence in a re publican government and dims all Uope-of-ultimate tumofss to fimLat-fhe bonds of living sympathies these leaded—grave senators—peek/ to reopen the wounds that' were heaHng aud to revive the passiohs’that were dying. What .a spectacle! What a work for men udou whose shoulders rest the responsibilities Of a represen- tatii e government! What an hour for such.(A work! At a mpment when peice- prevailed all over the land, when the black man and the white luan were being given by De mocratic legislation the blessings of education and good government; when the south, bowed witli sorrow and filled with gratitndo, is reaching out its arms to embrace its country men, these leaders seize again the faded bloody shirt, plunge it in the chronic crimson vat, run it up the party staff and fly it as the symbol of a new civilization and a “ restored union.” Why, really, men who never saw us would imagine that the South was one vast volcano, worse than a volcano, for even .Etna, I believe,has its periods of rest and Vesnvins its seasons of repose. The South— never! But is ever belching from its ever-open craters volumes pf smoke, and brimstone, and bloodT Well, we read somewhere tbat even the sun may be turned to blood, and itaetans that these lefders intend -tSttjthe North shall DMI wee tkeMM^Ct- cept through a murky atmosphere of passion filled with phantoms of lWifrid oppressions and phantasmagoria of blood, that have no existence save in the maddened brain of these ministers of hate. If, for no other reason than to turn such tnen oot of ptithE^ou ought to stand by the Democratic party, But I must pass to another branch of the subject. To staac^ by tlie Democratic party is to stand ’by its organization.

So I say; so every Democrat says; so every old line wing used to say; so every man of eveiy party that ever existed iu this country said until the republican party trampled down that right and controlled elections by federal force. [Loud applause.] Why, fellow- citizens, Mr. Jefferson was discussing that very, freedom ot elections from military force which the Democratic party intends to restore to this govern ment when it can control its policy. Yet these words of Mr Jefferson are heralded as an evidence of opposition to organization. Thomas Jefferson a disorganized Why, Mr. Jefferson himself was the first nominee of the first organized Democratic party, and led it in its first triumph over the party of centralization [Great Ap plause.] But “ every man must be a freeman and vote like a freeman !” Yes, that is also true ; but there is a greater, truth still, and that is that every freeman, every lover of liberty must so vote as to place in ..possession of the government the party whose principles will perpetuate liberty. [Applause.] Do you think you will make your ballots effective by break- iug into fragments the friends of thesejprinciples while its lovers are compact and organized ? [Applause.] Is -that the,sort of “ freedom of eleesiotos”* Mr. Jefferson advocated ?- Away with such sophistry to break down the organization of which lie was the founder. My independent friends are fond ot shouting “ independence now and in dependence forever ?” That is what Washington and his comrades fought for, I believe, but my reading is that they were somewhat organized. There were those then who did not like Washington as a leader, who tvere convinced that they ought to have been the leaders, but the great body of tlie men who were with him did riot stop to inquire who was the lead er, but said to the convention at Philadelphia, call the congress, “.nominate the leader, designate hini, put the flag in his hands and we will follow,” and.whenever • his plume waved, or his banner floated, this or ganized band followed, and tliey fol lowed to victory.

It is written all over His works from the dewdfopfe that tremble On BOO B OF DISORGANIZATION. What would have been the public estimation of that knightly soldier, Winfield Hancock, if during General Grant’s march on Richmond he had said to General Grant: “ Didn’t like organization. I am a Jeffersonian Democrat. I want to fight as a free man—on my on hook!” ami in the guise of a unionist had sought to break down the organization of the union army? . But let me give yon a stronger il lustration nearer home. What would you have thought of me, if when General Lee said: “ Drive the ene my from that portion of the field,’’ silence that batte y,’’ or “ move on those breastworks in front”—what would yon have thought of me if I had said: “ I am a confederate, but you tvere nominated at Richmond. I don’t like nominations. 1 am an in dependent confederate I propose to be leader myself. [Applause ] And, then, when the long lines that stretched off to the right and left moved np wilh sullen tread, and the battle was joined in, what would you have said it/ instead of moving to the front and firing on the common enemy, Gordon’s corps had l>een or dered by him to turn their guns upon the organized confederates ? Is that an unfair illustration of the posi tion of our Independent friends? Let us 6ee. Suppose you should read a political speech iu one of the daily papers of the ’State, and after searching column after column, the only penuuciations it contained were of “rings, tricksters and traders.” Now, suppose some one should in form yon that this was a Democratic ieech, would you not conclude that is Democrat was hurling his invec tives at,tho8o “ riuga” which -were exposed in Washington—the credit mobilier, the Sanborn contracts and the dirty, filthy, greasy whisky ring, which involved in its meshes high officials of the government? You would not have doubted that those were tho rings be so vehemently de nounced ; or else that he was holding up fur pubflo reprobation those other “rings” formed to capture these Southern States after the war, and wliioh bound Georgia, like old Prometheus, to the rook while these carpet-bag “tricksters” and “traders^ Wbj do [Continued applause.] They say tho party is controlled by rings. It that is true, what is the best thing to bo done? Get the good men of the party together and break down the rings. There are good men enough in this organization to control the nominations. Honesty has not en tirely fled from the Democratic party. There are are some good men still left in it, and unselfish patriotism is not all dead. [Applause.] Get the good men of tne party together, in side of the organization, to break down the rings, if any exist. If there be wrong in the church get the good men together and put down the wrong, but don’t quit the church and undertake to run an Independent gos pel on your own hook, [laughter and applause,] and joiu the outsiders to breakdown the church.

If tbat be true the common sense course is to rally a'l classes of citizens and correct the abuse; but don’t go outside and de nounce the lawyers, and by appeals to prejudice array one class of citi- Zens againet Another class of citizens and thus destroy the best interests of all classes of citizens. That is com munism. And woe be to that man or set of men who invoke for this peaceful section that spirit pf discord which filled the North with appre hension and France with fire and blood and terror! [Load ap plause.] I must close this"portion of the d^- cussion, for, if I haven’t said, enough to convince this people; of the neceffii ty for organization, I have said enough to weary them. lucopld talk all night upon this Bubject' and draw arguments from all fields, bbt what is the necessity ? t -• Before closing I wish, to say due word TO THE YOUNG1CEN J of the country. You are the coming trustees of these Democratic institu tions, and these institutions rest uptfn the Democratic principles which I have Mlempted to set forth and en force, and great parties are Hie uity- ral and necessary agencies for tho promotion of these principles. In this connection I wish to repeat the remark with which I set out, that in this country there are only two great parties, the Democratic and the Re publican parties; the one, conceived in passion, born of fanaticism and baptized iu blood, has, from, its ac cession to power, marched with rapid and straight strides over these prin ciples, over State governments and the Constitution to an increase of jowqr .in the central government. Applause.] The other, beginning its existence with the Constitution, conforming its practices'to the Con stitution, proclaims and defenda jhat instrument as the fundamental, invio lable. omnipotent charier ot all human rights on this continent. [Great applause.] One is the party ot passion, power and privilege; the other is the party of peace, of law and of liberty! [f^heers.] The, one legislates for classes, for grasping monopolies, for" colossal corporations which despoil the pqoglei The other, confining itself within the limits of the written Constitution, keeps stead ily in view the weal and safety of $11 classes, all communities and all sec tions of this great country. [Great applause,] Where is the room for a third par ty with such issues as these divkuag the people? It would of necessity be ground to powder between those upper and nether mill-stones.''■[t would be but a bubble to flash a faint and false hope for a time, only to burst and vanish and mingle in the waters of these great streams. [Ap plause.] * u My young friends, let me .say to you with greater emphasis than I could prior to the senatorial election, (for having been chosen toe six years service no man con charge me with a selfish motive,) let’me say to ycu tliat yon are not only bringing damage to this country and destroying tbe^arty which maintained your principles, but you are sapping the foundations of your own political character. [Great applause.^ Youoould not organize and keep in position a third party i£ you were to try,, and you ought;,not to do so if you could. It wooldim a; damage to the country and to your own manhood and political iuture. and seize the __ ... . . aHMMuiA. . care lest when yon accomplish inde- Jency, you have a candidate for ernor from every section of the State and a candidate for President from every section of the union. Pause, I beseech yon, and think be fore you scatter these seeds of dissen- tiobs—oh think what “the harvest maybe.” (Prolonged applause.) But do you tell me that if you ,gave up your independent movement it will lose "you your chances. Yoang men, if youAye ambitious and want office yon rah secure it inside the Democratic organization by showing . to the country that yon are necessary to its service. Let the country ace that you not only have the ability to lead, but the devotion to follow, and qronr sacrifice will not go long unre warded ! (Great applause.) I read somewhere of a distinguished Eng lish Clergyman who was upbraided for throwing away opportunities of preferment, and was asked by his friend, “Why are you always impa ling your chances of success upon a point of conscience ? Do yon know what became of the man who was always standing on conscience ?” “Yes,” replied the clergyman, “He tvas crucified on Calvary. He not Duly gave up riches and honors, but even His life ; but on the third day He rose again with omnipotence in His arm and salvation for mankind !” [Applause.] God forbid that I should compare the sacrifice I invite you to make to that infinite sacrifice made by the Son of Man, but let me say that if you w ill crucify your am bition on the cross of principle, though it may prove your political grave for a time, you shall rise again in the glory of a renewed and ex alted manhood and with the assur ances of a nobler and grander suc cess.

Come back! I saw men in this dis trict above us who wanted to come back, but they had done so much and said so much, and some tiad bet so much, that they could not get back. [Laughter.] They did not know how to come back. They did not like the idea of abandoning an enterprise once |)$g}in. That is natural. They did pot like the criticisms that would be made upon their consistency. That is natural, too. But the best rule is, when you find you are wrong tarn bade. “Be sure yon are right and then go ahead.’’ [Applause.] They applied some not very complimentary epithets to me because I answered the call t>f this party and obeyed the diotates of my conscience and de eded these principles. Bnt this did hot hurt much. If it bad I should have proven myself very unworthy the high trust reposed in me by this people had I permitted this or a ay other cause to seal my lips and silet ce my tongue when the party which supported these great principles was a-sa-led and summoned me to speak in its defense. [Repeated applause.] Suoh principles are worth detending, even if it costs some sacrifice. Truth is the aivinest thing on earth, and yet how long would truth live if there were no sacrifice for it? You re member they burned old Latimer at the stake because he would not give np truth. But who would not rath, er be Latimer, with his untarnished soul ascending to heaven in flame, than to be the man who piled the fagots about him ? Who would not rather be a Southern Democrat, though defeated, yet standing slioul der to shonlder with our allies at tbe North, battling ior these great priB ciples of liberty and seeking to bring repose to this distracted country, rather than to be the men, or triumph by the aid of the men who bore the tempest of passion aud wave the in cendiary torches of bate at the doors of this law-abiding people. (Great applause.) I do not wonder that the Repnbli- ■can leaders encourage these move- Dipatd., I do not wonder that the party of passion should aid a move- irfent to break down the party of peace. I do not wonder that the Re publican press in our own midst en courages the movement; for to break idown our organization is to destroy the party which drove them from power, . Well, by their help a man may get an office, bat that office with all ot" its emoluments and honors is not worth the sacrifice. What have yoa been doing the past ten years? There never has been a time since the war when-you could not have done th'it—when a man by taming his back upon tho party of his principles could not receive aid and comfort, and pelhaps* office by the aid of these Hfon.' Did; they not try to bribe you lfjtthHBflWr drive you with threats, disco it rage you by raying your party w.oqld never get into power—that there was too great a majority against i&srad if you wanted office you had bet ter leave it!

(Immense en(h do you want to turh back For Let me repeat that the enemy is ganized and his bugle is sounding, and shall it he said that when the last great battle comes this old Geor gia brigade—the foremost aud bravest and most steadfast in the line—is the first to break ? (Cheers and cries of “No, no!’’) I have no personal interest in this matter which you have not, but my he irt is bowed down.
