J. L. BYINGTON, feb2o3m Late of Fort Valley, Ga. DAWSON, CIA., TIICUBDAY. ArtGUST O, ISOS. SPEECH OP REK. THOMAS IKWIACi, JR. of Arkansas, at tub DEMOCRATIC AND CONSERVA TIVE RATIFICATION MEET ING IN WASHINGTON CITY. Fellow- Citizens : I appear before you this evening merely to speak a few words of oordial endorsement of the principles enunciated by the Democratic National Convention, and of the nomi nation of SeyraOur and Blair. Wo are on the threshold of the most momentous political contest of our na tional history—one which will be an epoch in our annals as marked as that of the war for the preservation of the Uuioui. VV * fought four years, sacri ficed a miJijon of- Jives and four billions of money, to establish the prin ciple that th 6 Ctdhti is indissoluble.— W e ltawe jd®w to I Jjopo by (ho peaceful arbitrament of the bal lot-boir, whctW we ' din fVfe’siL the £orui<4-4jqvtriißK;nt bequeathed to-u* by our fathers. The war was grandly sue eessful. For thred years past there has not hren, in the Southern States, an* arm raised against the nati r.a’ authiri y; for three years pbsC ouf internal fort's, have beon dismantled, and the defences along our Southern coast, erected to guard against foreign invasion, no longer domestic foes, have turned all their guns seaward ; for three years past the com merce of the great Northwest has fl )wed down the Mississippi to the Gulf as free as its waters flow. [Applause ] The Southern people have not yielded a sullen, reserved, or resentful submis sion to the decision of the war. They fought to settle a di-puted question of construction of the Comtiiution, which our .forefathers disagreed about, even while ftaming that instrument, and which they transmitted unsettled to their descendants. 'I he Seu-th eleoted to settle it by wager of battle, and, hav ing lost in the arbitrament of the sword, they have shown themselves willing to accept and abide by its decis ion. The war had scarcely ended. when, hq .aTKerolmenta t*. 1 1 1 A1 !• .Slitifj constitutions and laws, they formerly renounced the ductiiue of secession, to establish which they went to war; and I chal enge successful contradiction of the s’atenient that, since the year ISGS, they have shown in every poasible way their loyal adhesion to the Government of the United States, and their absolute and unreserved renunciation of the false doctrine of secession. Now, gentlemen, the war wa? for ni> other purpose than t“ settle that dispu ted question. We all recollect that while it was going on the Donrerats and Conservatives of the loyal Slates, who furnished at least one half of the men and money for its prosecution, were apprehensive lest the Republicans would do just that wwich they are now doing—use, in violation of the Constitu tion, the vast powers confided to them for the restoration of the Uniou for purpose? of party and sectional aggran dizement. And you all remember how often and how solemnly the Republi can party repeated the pledge that the war should be waged in no spirit ct op pression, but solely to restore tho Union with all the equality aud rights of the States unimpaired. The people of the Uuitcd S a*es trusted these declaraiions and believed them sincerely made. The soldiers trusted them, and, therefore, risked health and life, in the cause. I ask any man who followed tho flag during the war whe her he would have fought to disfranchise and degrade the white people of the South, blot out their States, and subject them in serfdom to rheir former slaves, and to destroy the form of our national government estab lished by the Constitution ? [Prolonged cheer.ng, and cries of “never never ”] If Jacobins in the Oapitol—who sat in cushion cheer through-the war and filled the quartermaster's and curaniisssry’s and contractor’s departments with their friends and relatives—who neyer saw rebel tire except at Bull Run, and then stampeded at the first fi >sh—had avowed such atrocious purposes while the war was going on; tho Union armies would, after conquering the rebels, have march ed on Washiogton to disperse these usurpers as equally dangerous to the Constitution and the Uuioa with the rebels in arms. [Tremendous cheer ing ] 1 must, however, do - the leaders of the Radical party the justice to say that during tho war the most of them sincerely intended to perform these sol emn pledges, and to have the avowed object of the war promptly accomplished at its termination. But when it ended they forgot their pledges and their pa triotic purposes. They had not the courage to restore the Union, with the Doutbern States governed by electors, I lest, with its restoration, the Republi can party would lose control of the gen eral government. As many of the Rad icil leaders preferred, when the South seceded, to lot it go in peace, in order that they might govern the rest of the nation, so at the end of the war they chose to destroy the Southern States, rather than have them return to shake their power. Now, fellow-citizens, no man could have complained of tbo Republican par ty if it had fairly iDed its power at the close of the war, within tho limits of the Constitution, for party edvantago. What we have chiefly complained of is that it has not only prevented reunion, but has, by Congressional fiat, destroyed, or attempted to destroy, the ten States we fought to restore to the Union. [Ap plause.] If they had only destroyed the ten States, and left thorn as territo ries, to be tostored in the next genera, tion as States, their acts would have bet;n tolerable. But, after de stroying them, they disfranchised and dUablod the whole governing talent of tho South, and comm tted the political destioie* of 'States to tho custody of a race just emerging from barbarism, through slavery, with whom wo cannot commingle on terms of either stciil or political equality. Our form of gov ernment is one which can only exist and flourish where the electors are in— te.ligeut, and are, or mey become, ho mogenous. If cootroled in great part by electors grossly and hopelessly in competent, of a race which can never become one with us, we can not expect the government to stand and prosper. [Cries of ‘-that’s so,” and applause.] While the walls of these black gov cromeats are fjoing up they have to be prjpped by Northern bayonets; and knowing that the Northern people will uot long keep an army in the South to maintain them, Congroks has dow on its anvil a bill by which Jhey will strip our Northern arsenals of artillery, mus kets sabres, and pistols, and give them ta a black maliiia in the Southern State? to sustain these' despotic governments when the national army shall have been “"ivVibfrTfiese usurped Stile govern ments shall have been established, one of hree resu'ts will follow : Either they will fall by the fiat of the North ern people in November; or the South ern white men, by superior tact, will through the forms of these <lcfacto gov ernments, obtain control of them: or this wlu.le scheme of tenons ruction will be overthrown by the upheaval of civil war—aye, a civil war which, if the general government tunes sides v tlh tire black man against the white, will spread over tho North, and its ashes may cover the ruins of the Republic. Is Ihts the result our armies fought ? Is this of which General Grant talks in his letter? [En thusiastic cheering ] Instead of having the restoration ol the Union under the oon3 itution, which was the only justi fication nnd object of the war, tire Rad icals give us this at rocious scheme, big with threat cued disasters to the Republic. [Apj lause ] But the Republican party has not stopped hr re. It has robbed the I’resi dent of hts most ess; ruial constitutional powers, so as to prac icaliy des'roy the Executive as one of th# independent co-ordinate department, taking from it the power of passing judgment on the constitutionality of the scheme of re construction. Striking down ti.e great est powers of the Executive and the judiciary itGias broken from the restraints ol.tho Uouflitutioo, and now acknowledges no litiHt torts power, and nr right tit n<>)’ other department to j question it. i ask, fellow-ci izens, whether we j now live under the government formed by our fore fathers—** government of three coordinate departments, each independent in is sphere, each a check ! on tho usurpations of the others ? No, w« do not live under a Constitution, but under a Congress which tramples ! the Constitution under foot, and is for the time omnipotent. Three vears after the total suppres sion of the rebellion, the Radical party gives us as the result of its rule, and in return for the vast powers and treas ures confided to it, a Union with ten , of the great States destroyed, and ten , St. Domingos erected in their stead ; and in place of the beneficent govern ment we inherited, it gives us a gov ernment in which the liberties of the States have been Swallowed up by the central government, and the powers of the other Federal departments swal-. lowed up by Congress. In short, war Lavo no longer the government of the Constitution, but of a general atscmlly —a form which in no nation has ever lusted a lifetime—which is always be got of tho frenzy and passions of revo lutionists, and which has always been swiftly followed and easily overthrow n by tho despotism of a Cromwell or a Napoleon, | Loud cheering ] 1 have been appealed to an hundred times, as one who fought forth® Union, to turn from the Democratic purty and support flu: the Presidency the leader of the Union armies. Gentle men, it is because I love the Union and the Constitution earnestly enough to fight for them that I shall not support Grant, hut shall supjiort Seymour.— [Groat cheering ] This is a contest in which the candi dates presented for the suffrages ol the people should be men of high states manship. \\ bile I freely accord to General Grunt all the homer due to his patrjptic and successful career as a soldier; while I atn not only willing, but proud, to say that Dooelson,Ticks burg and Mission Ridge will make his name as a soldier immortal, I cannot, in good conscience, assert that tiis statJ papers place him in the front rank of Statesmen. Asa soldier he will alwuvs have the respect and honor of those who followed the flag ; but as a zeal ous supporter and inairarrtent of 4be m tolerable and disloyal usurpations of Cohgress. he is not enti led to the trust or support of any man who wore tbu bluo and still loves the Constitu tion and the Union. [Prolonged ap plause ] In Mr. Seymour wo have a candi date who is a statesman and a patriot one who would have been dis'im guisfied ia the m st illustrious days ol American statesmanship—w ho, as Gov ernor oft he greatest State in tho Union, when Gettysburg was fought, and afterward, w hen Hie capitol was b«- eieged, efficiently exerted his mighty powers for the rescue of tho Repußlic who, for his distinguished service to tho Union cause, received the cordial thucks of Secretary Stanton, a War Minister never known to Ire fu'some of hasty in thanking Democrats fop patri ode efforts. U'sten to Mr. Station's letter of thanks to Governor Seymour: “War Department, “Washington, Junc.27,1803. pressbig to you the deep oWigtilion I flel lor the prompt and cutrlid support yu have given to tho Government in the present emergency. The energy, activity, and patriotism you have ex hibited 1 may be permitted personally and efficiaily to acknowledge, without arrogating any personal claims on tny part in such service, or to any service whatever. “I shall he happy to be always es teemed your friend, Edwin M. Stanton. “llis Excellency Horutio Seymour.” If Governor Soymour, while thus heltling up the hands of the Govern' merit against the rebe’s. also courage ously maintained the rights of the citi zens of the loyal States—protested against the imposition, by a partisan provost marshal general, of exhorbi lant draft quotas in Democratic dis trict? ; and against the trial of North ern civilians by military commissions for offences unknown to tho law s, aud defined only in Stanton’s “g‘ neral or ders,” detective Baker's “instructions, ’ or L)r. Liebig's newly invented “com mon law of war”—l honor him all the more for that [Great laughter and cheers.] Gentlemen, let tho Radicals go firth and preach the destructive and re vengeiul measures they have been con coding for three years past. Let them try to rekindle in the North the passions which should havo diedWith tho war. Let' them show \\'liat they have accomplished in destroying the Southern States, enslaving the white man, and making the negroes rhlers*. arid in tearing and wh iho beneficent Government under which this nation has flourished for a century. I have no fear of the result, lie will go forth and advocate a cordial reunion of the white people, North an ! South. We will talk of the Southern people no I longer as enemies, but as friends and I brethren united with us in restoring the Union and the Government of the Cons itutinn. We wHI revive m> re vengeful memories of trie war, but rather grateful memories of the Revo lution, of 181-, and of Mexico, in which Northern and Southern blood flowed on the same fields and on the same side. Having, as Mr. Lincoln J boasted, captured “Dixie,” to awaken i no memories of triumph or defeat, but I only prond recollections of the valor 1 displayed on both sties during the re ! beltion, and the renown and p wer it ! added to the American name through out the world. We will carry the old flag, bearing on it* folds no st»rS in i black eclipse, hot thirty seven Stars, each equally luminous and effulgent, and over the wreck of the Radical par- and its usurpations we will restore | the Constitution and the Union. [Tre mendous cheering.] No. SO. Female Affection. Wotnau is not half so selfish a crea ture as mao. When man is in love, fit object of Lis passi m is himself.
