SPEECH OF .Mil PENDLETON.
M}t Fellow- Citizens: I thank you from
the bottom of my heart for the kind greet
ing that you have given me. I appreciate
ali your kindness. I have had occasion,
often in the past, to thank you for esteem,
and confidence aud support. I can only
to-night repeat to you the words which I
have so often before uttered. Democrats
of Hamilton County, you are iny neigh
bors aud my acquaintances; you have
known me lrom my boyhood; you know
my political opinions, my personal charac
ter, and tho motives by which I have been
governed in all uiy public life. You have
given me a cordial and earnest support for
the highest office in the Republic. [Ap
plausel
leu have said that you are willing to
confide to iny keeping its duties and its re
sponsibilities. [Good.] And when you are
defeated in your trust you have given to
me so many tokens that my heart swells
with an emotion of gratitude, which my
trembling voice eau scarcely find words to
express. [Cheers.] You have laid upon
me a burden of obligation which I cannot
repay. 1 shall always endeavor to deserve
your confidence, and the memory that I
have it here to-night will be the’proudvM
reminiscence oVmy political life. [Cheers.]
And what I say to you, my follow-citi
zens. I micht say with almost equal justice
to all the Democratic party in the State of
Ohio, and to the hosts of friends from all
the other States who seconded their ef
fort. And it gratifies me very much to
know that here, at my own home, my rec
ognition, my acknowledgments are due,
due, not only to my Democratic, but aiso
to many Republicans, convinced, some of ;
them, perhaps, of the correctness of my
opinions, and some of them actuated by
personal kindness, desired my success.
And while lam on this subject, my ;
friends, 1 nope it will not b? considered
out ot' place for me to say to all Democrats
and Republicans— to those who differ with
tue :.s wcil as th ise who agree with me—that
iu all the warmth ofpiuticol discussion, 1
have endeavored to cultivate the ameni
ties die. and that where it was necessary
to differ 1 have differed without intending ,
to impugn the character, or question the
motives, or el ite the bitterness of those
with whom i have felt called upon to
differ . and that it gives me pleasure to
know that the struggles ot' fifteen years
have left no song o: bit;erue» in my hetnu
toward any of mv feliow-citiaens.’and to
hope that they feei none toward myself.
TAMMANY HALL CONVENTION.
I have had occasion lately to speak of
the proceedings of the New York Conven
tion. I approve them all. [Cheers.] I
approve the platform ; I approve the
nominations. The platform announces
the principles for which we have so zeal
ously struggled. I have enumerated them
before :
Fidelity to the Constitution!
Fidelity to the Union!
Fidelity to the rights of the States !
Fidelity to the liberties of the citizen !
j Fidelity to the principles of free govern
ment !
Fidelity to that policy in matters of
, finance 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 equali-
I ty ol taxation will make it to reap the just
rewards of patient and cheerful industry.
1 (Applause]
t Governor Seymour and General Biair
have each explicitly declared that they
cordially approved those principles. [Ap
plause.]
Our candidates realize all we expect in
pare, patriotic, able, cultivated Christian
statesmen. I have known Governor Sey
mour Well. I knew him throughout the j
1 trying scenes ol the war. I have closely i
watched for many years his course, and his
I opinion-; and I tell you in ad sincerity
this night, that he is the first statesman in
Atoierica [cheers], and that we can commit
to him more safely than to any other man
the destiny of our Government in the.se
troublesome times. Self-possessed, cool,
eahn, sagacious, moderate, tolerant—he
wiii uuite deliberation in council with rig- [
or in action. And seeking nothing but ]
the enforcement of the Constitution, he]
will bring us back to union and peace and
happiness under the shadow of its wings. j
[Applause.]
INDICATIONS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
I arn glad you came here in such numbers
! to-night. lam glad to see this immense
j crowd —this great outpouring of the peo
] pie. lam glad to recognize so many of
; our political opponents among your fa
miliar faces. The spirit which animates
them fills my heart with hope. It is not
the enthusiasm made to order by the cla
queurs of politics, nor yet the zeal en
gendered by party discipline. It is a spirit
of thoughtful and anxious inquiry—of
boding fear. It show] that tho public
calamity weighs heavy upon the public
mind. It shows that the management of
public affairs excites their apprehensions.
It shows a fear—shall I say a conviction
—that the great powers of Government
have fallen into unworthy or unable hands,
and are being wielded now rather for the
advancement of a party than for the good
of the country. [Applause.] .
My friends, I desi/e to reason with you
to-night. I will not speak to you in any
partisan sense. We stand in exactly the
same position. We are I'eHow-countrymen
—fellow-patriots. We have the same
lives to live, the same blessings to win, the
same dangers to avoid. We have the same
interests, the same hopes, the same fears-
Wc have the same country to love, the
same institutions to preserve, the same
liberty to enjoy. We ought to be—we are
alike honest in our motives—thoughtful
in our investigations, and sincere in our
convictions. [Applause.]
I believe in the principles of the Demo
cratic party. I desire you to embrace
them. I believe they will maintain pur
liberty and perpetuate our Government.
You have been, p|fhaps, for a long time
members of the Republican party. You
have given to it your love, your confidence,
your votes, your money, your exertions, j
You have installed it in absolute power.
It has had uncontrolled sway. Has it
answered your expectations ? Has it sat
isfied your demands? I Voice, “No,”
“No.”]
Answer this question not to me. An
swer it to your conscience, and to your
God. [Applause. J
QUESTIONS AT ISSDE.
The two.great questions into which poli
ties are now divided are, restoration of the
Union and the management of finance and
taxation. ,
Has the policy of the Republican party
satisfied your demands on either ?
Voices—“No, no.”
RETROSPECTION.
Lot me recall to you the retrospect of a
few years. We were told that, the object,
of the war was to enforce tho Constitution
and to maintain the Union. Mr. Lincoln
told us so in his inaugural address. Mr.
Seward fold us so in his dispatches to
foreign ministers, and in his invitations to
Senators and members to return and oc
cupy their seats they had left. Congress
told us so in its resolutions and laws.
Every recruiting officer who desired to
he Colonel of anew regiment—every can
didate who desired to hold office—told us
so. It was this inspiring thought of
devotion to the Constitution and the Union
the old Constitution which Washington
and Franklin and Madison made, the old
Union which was *he bond of peace for
seventy years—which brought volunteers
to our ranks, and collected that nfighty
host under whose tread the very continent
seemed to shake.
This was continued till the very end of
the war. When Mr. Lincoln met the
Southern Commissioners at Fortress Mon
roe, in the spring of 1865, he expressly de
clared to them that he only required that
they should lay down their arms, rec
ognize the abolition of slavery, and return
to the Union ; that no other condition,
should be demanded. We were t*ld that
illegal force impaired the relations of the
States to each other; that the force must
be removed, and the relations would of
themselves be restored.
The war was brought to a close. John
ston surrendered to Sherman, The last
man laid down his arms. The last arm
was given up. The State Governments
were then in full operation and vigor;
they had remained unchanged; they per
formed all the functions of government in
the preservation of civil society. Some of
the office holders had fled; some had been
killed; so uo were liable to indictment; but
the forms of governments were there, and
the State Constitutions were as binding a-i
they ever had been. General Sherman
carped out to their legal conclusion the
principles upon which the war was com
menced. He conquered armies, he sub
dued hostile forces. He cut with his
sword the knot which tied tho States of
the Confederacy together, aud having re
established their relations to the Union,
ho said to his prisoners, “Go to your homes
in peace.”
This was Union —this was peace—this
was enforcing the Constitution—this was
maintaining the Union—this was execut
ing Federal law, while it maintained the
rights and powers aud dignities of the
States unimpaired. This was a fitting
conclusion of the war. It asserted Sher
man’s ability as a statesman to be equal to
his vigor as a soldier. The terms of that
pacification will remain for all time, the
monument of his wisdom, and foresight,
and moderation. Its rejection has been
the source of many troubles.
Rut the President of the United States,
and the party which elected him were not
satisfied. They annulled its terms. They
insisted upon the appointment of Provis
ional Governors; that tho ordinances of
secession should be repealed; that slavery
should be abolished; that the Confederate
debt should be utterly repudiated, and
promised that then the States should be
restored to their position in the Union.—
A 1 was done. The States were recognized
to have sufficient vital power to assent to
an amendment of the Federal Constitution,
and to bind their people for all time. Con
gress and the President quarreled, and
when Congress met in 1865, he Lad not
the power, and Congress had not the dis
position, to recognize the restoration ofthe
Union. A change had come over their
party schemes —visions of power and a
revolutionized Governuientf had flitted be
fore their eyes. [Applause.]
Six months elapsed and the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution was pro
posed. You are ‘familiar with its pro*
visious. Oiiizeaship in the States was to
depend upon the will of the Federal Gov
ernment, not ofthe States; the rule of
representation was to be changed so as to
reward the admission of Degrees* to the
elective franchise, and to punish their ex
clusion. The ban of proscription in the
Stales was to be put upon all who had aid
ed in the rebellion, and to question the
validity of the public debt—in the manner
I shall do to night— was to be treated as a
crime. If this were adopted by a vote of
the Southern States—these States which
now they tel! you had committed suicide
six years I’efore—they ha ]' promised their
senators and representatives should be ad
mitted to Congress. ’
Six months again elapsed, and another
change hid some over them. The Rudi
‘cals had triumphed. The Reconstruction
acts were passed. Their State govern
ments, which had beou so often invited to
perform the highest acts, were abolished.
Military despotisms were set up in their
steau. "The maintenance of order —the
protection of life, liberty and property—
the establishments of new Governments
founded on differeut principles—were com
mitted to the charge of a military officer
backed by the short, sharp process of
martial law aud drum-head court-martial.
.Cheers.]
WHAT IS NOW PROPOSED.
Eighteen months elapse. A Pres
idential election approaches. All the large
Northern States show great uneasiness.
Many openly pronounce their defection.
The Radicals are alarmed—they fear de
feat. They must make up from the reor
ganized States at the South whatever they
may lose at the North. They pass a law
regulating the electoral colleges—deter
mining what votes shall and what shall not
Lie counted in the election. They declare
that none of the old States are States —
that no electoral votes shall be counted ex
cept from States which have been reor
ganized since the spring of 1867—which
have adopted new constitutions—which
have adopted negro suffrage—and which
have been admitted to representation by
this Congress.
Do you understand the meaning of those
provisions ? The State of Alabama, two
months ago, rejected absolutely the Con
stitution which was submitted to a vote of
her people ; yet that same rejected Con
stitution is put in force by Federal arms
and she is admitted to representation be
cause it is believed that by its stringent
oaths so many whites will be disfranchised
that her electoral vote will be carried for
the Radicals. [Bah, and cheers.]
Mississippi also rejected the Constitu
tkm submitted to her people, but as the
oaths of that Constitution are not so strin
gent, and the whites may give a Detno-
I cratic majority, she is denied representa
! tion, and her electoral votes are not to be
; counted.
Virginia is supposed to have white
: population enough to adopt or reject her
| Constitution, and then in either event to
1 give the electoral vote to the Democratic
candidate, and her name is immediately
stricken from the list.
Texas has not been sufficiently humilia
ted, and for her anew military organiza
tion is to be created, as you have read in
to-day’s papers
A voice—“Wtat do you thinlcabout the
State of Ohio?’’
. M ell, she is a pretty good State, and I
tniokeantakeeareofherself. [Cheers. (The
fourteenth amendment has been dedared,
within two days, to be adopted—Ohio and
i ‘ ersc 7 before their votes were count
ed, before the other States had ratified,
by soiemn act of their Legislatures, with
drew their assent to this amendment. The
ablest Constitutional lawyers assert they
had the right to do so. No man will
affirm the question is without doubt, not
withstanding the amendment is declared
to be adopted by the votes „of these two
States—and it is already hinted that
Maryland and Kentucky will be, by mere
brute force, excluded from the vote for
on the pretext that their repre
sentation has not been made to conform to
the new rule established by that amend
ment.
My friends—My Republican friends :
Are you satisfied with this condition of
things? [A voice “No, no.”] Is this
the restoration your party promised ? Are
you willing that this gigantic civil war
should end iu this disgraceful scramble
for mere power ? Are you willing that the
lives which were lost, the blood which was
shed, the money which was spent, the
high hopes which wete excited, should
have no other end than this pitiful party
scheme ? Are you willing that the fate of
American liberty, the high interests,
moral and material, involved in a restored
Union, should thus be made subservient to
mere party success? I cannot believe
that you are satisfied with the Republican
party in this.
WHAT THEY PROMISE.
They tell you that (he work is accom
plished ; that the Union is restored ; that
whatever is wrong will be speedily righted
by the States. Do not be deceived. This
is not so. This is one act in the drama.
We are in 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
power by this means, they will to-morrow
devise new purpo.-es and want Dew powers,
and obtain them by new means. The
spirit of revolution is insatiable. It slum
bers, but ODiy to gain strength. It pauses,
but only to acquire accelerated speed It
uses ihe cunning devices and unscrupulous
intrigues of the politician ; and if these
fail, it will employ the sword of the soldier.
It uses the Long Parliament an'd the Leg
islative Assembly—the block aud the
guillotine—and if these fail, it calls for a
Cromwell and Napoleon.
The Radicals understand this. They
pass laws and organize States and provide
ior electoral votes and impeach the Presi
dent, but in the meantime they distribute
arms to the negroes of the South; they
bind to them the army and the navy by
holding access to the paths of promotion,
and they present as their candidate for
votes that man in whose hand they have
put tho powers of the President and the
absolute nower over the reorganization of
the Southern States.
If they cannot elect by fraud, is there no
reason to fear they may usurp by force ?
A decisive overwhelming defeat at the
polls will avert this danger and save to us
peace, at tho same time that it saves to us
liberty. [Applause.]
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
And have you been better satisfied with
the management of the finances and taxa'
tion ?
The whole scope of the financial policy
of the Republican party is to compel the
payment of the public debt in coin, and so
to reduce the currency as that the coin will
be most difficult to get, and most valuable
to possess. Its whole taxation policy is to
subordinate labor to capital, and " the
agricultural labor of the West to the man
ufactures of the East.
There are outstanding to-day about sev- j
enteen hundred millions of dollars in five
twenty bonds. They are payable in legal- ]
tender notes. The law says so ; the bond j
says so ; Thaddeus Stevens, Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Moans, said
so; Senator Sherman says so; Senator
Morton says so; ‘General Schenck says so ;
the Funding Bill of the Senate says so ;
the Funding Bill of the House says so, for
both propose to pay in legal-tender the
boniE which are not surrendered for long
bonds at a less interest; the Democratic
Conventions in Ohio and Indiana, and Illi
nois and Pennsylvania, and every other
Western State say so; the National Con
vention which sat at New York by a unani
mous vote said so.
Yet the Republican party in'the face of
tins concurrent testimony as-erts that these
bonds shall be paid in gold; and thus at
present rates adds seven hundred*miiiions
to the public debt.
I know the Republican Convention gave
out an uncertain sound, but their speakers
and newspapers have interpreted it and
given it a meaning. The Gazette and the
Commercial, differing as they sometimes
do on other points, to the distress of the
faithful and the scandal of the family,
agree to this, that the _ Republican party
means payment of the five-twenties in gold,
and the Democratic party means payment
in greenbacks. I agree with both of them.
That is just what they mean.
The Gazette says it is silly to talk of dis
charging one premise to pay with another
promise to pay. Not at all, if that was
the contract. And it was the contract here.
The Government said wo will issue legal
tender notes; we will put them iu circula
tion; we will take them for taxes; we will
require everybody to take them for debts;
we can buy with them everything we need;
we will need a great many; we will offer
large inducements to get them: we will is- !
sue our bonds bearing six per cent interest ]
in gold; we will sell them at par in legal
tender; wo will give them at least five
years to run —twenty years if our neces
sity requires—as long as they do run they
shall pay six per cent interest in gold.
Greenbacks depreciated largely. Gold
stood at 150, 200, 300.
The capitalists said we will buy these j
bonds at fifty cents on the dollar. They
will pay us twelve per cent interest in gold.
They are free from taxation. They will
not be redeemed, at least, for five years.
That wilj give sixty per cent of the whole
amount iu five years. They will not be
redeemed UDtil the war is over, then
greenbacks will be more valuable. If gold ]
stands at 140 per cent when we are paid, !
we will be very well content. So the cap- j
itaiist took fifty dollars in gold, and with it
bought a hundred dollar bond. He re- ]
ceived six dollars a year interest He held
ir. five years, and has received thirty dol- ;
lars in gold. If he is paid one hundred |
dollars in greenbacks to day, he can re- 1
place his original investment of fifty dol
lars with seventy-one dollars in gold.—
Twelve per cent interest iu gold and an in
crease of the capital nearly fifty per cent.
Is that very hard on the bondholder, or a
very silly bargain, as the Gazette seems to
think ?
But the Republican party says that these
bonds shall not be pain in greenbacks, and
that they shall not be paid at all for forty
years. Reduce the interest and extend
the time ! No, gentleiben, that is not the
true policy. Fay the debt and stop the in
terest entirely, cuppose you reduce the
interest to four per cent., and extend th<?
1 principal for forty years. If your debt
should be $2,500,000,000, you would pay
one hundred millions a year. At the end
of forty years you would have nearly
double your debt, and yet have the whole
of the principal yet to be discharged in
gold. Forty years. How many of you
will live that long ? How many of your
| children will have died before that time ?
I And yet these hundred millions a year
i will be drained remorselessly through all
that time from the labor of the country.
Forty years ! Gentlemen, that will make
it a permanent institution. Then it will
! never be paid. Then it will be fixed on
us forever; and like the public dent of
England or France will forever eat out
the substance of the people for interest,
and prove the most fruitful source of cor
ruption and tyranny. [Applause.] And
labor which must pay this, brethren, is to
be deprived of half its occupation, or of
] half its wages, by the Republican system
]of contracting the currency. Why are
j our streets empty ? Why have our public
1 and private improvements been curtailed ?
! Why have rents failen, failures taken
j place, and why among laborers, especially,
this cry of hard times, andjdiffieuity in sup
! porting their families ? Simply because
our friends insist on curtailing the cur
rency, and thus knocking down ail prices.
In this way the gold interest is made more
: and more valuable.
Gentlemen, are you satisfied with this
j policy ? [Voices, ‘'No ! no !”[
TAXATION.
Taxes have been diminished! Have
, they indeed ? What taxes ? Ta es on
! the manufactures of New England— taxes
ion whiskey. That may relieve the New
Englander of his burdens, and the whiskey
] ring of their profits. How much does it
j relieve you ? Do you get tea, or coffee, or
! meat, or bread, or clothes cheaper than
you did before ? I met, last year, a Re
publican, who said: “tVLat do these
' poor fellows care about that ? They pay
jno taxes.” Ah !my friend, they pay all
| the taxes. Labor alone creates wealth,
j In the price of their tea and their coffee
] they pay the tariff duties; in the price of
i their clothing they pay the tax on cotton,
1 the tax of the manufacturer, the income
tax of the-merchant, and the license of the
retail dealer. In their rents they pay- the
land tax of the owner. So you do care
about it. [Cheers.]
Do you believe there is purity in the ad
ministration ? Do you believe a fair
auioußt is collected ; and if collected, that
a fair amount reaches the Treasury ? If
not, who is responsible? Youhave alte
pnbiiean Congress to make laws, a Repub
lican Senate to confirm appointments, a
Republican Secretary of the Treasury, a
Republican Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, Republican officials every
where.
The taxation, State and Federal,
amounts to about $800,000,1)00 a year,
nearly six per cent, of the whole amount
ol all the real and personal property in the
United titates ! How long will any people
bear this before they will resort to the last
remedy of repudiation ?
Gentlemen, I will not press this subject
further to night. Are you satisfied with
the way the money, thus collected for
taxes, has been expended ?
We have an enormous public debt. Are
you willing that it shall be increased and
perpetuated? [Voices, “No, no.”] We
pay an enormous rate of interest. Are
you willing that it shall, year by year, eat
out your substance ? We expend annually
enormous sums for standing armies, Freed
men’s Bureau, military governments.
Shall this be continued ? [Voices, “No,
no ”]
The Democratic party points you to its
payment of the war debt of 1812, and of
the Mexican war, and it promises to pay
this debt. It points you to the low taxes
and tariffs of the past, and it promises to
reduce your taxation. It points you to the
$80,000,000 spent by Mr. Buchanan, aud
promises honesty, and retrenchment and
economy.
Will you not come to it and aid it, my
friend? Break the tie of prejudice or as
sociation that binds you- Be brave enough
to act upon your convictions. The Demo
cratic party belongs to no man nor set of
men. It is the party of the people. It is
the party of progress, of liberty, of hu
manity. [Applause.] It isjust to capital,
but it is the friend and protector of labor.
It is the party of a jutnple, plain, inexpen
sive Government. It is the party of the
Constitution. All who assent to its prin
ciples are welcome to its fellowship. It
requires no probation, but invites all alike
to its folds. Aid it, my friends. Give it
power. It has shown that it knows how to
use it. Confide to it the Government. It
has shown that it cannot betray the trust.
Do this, and you will regain the Union,
peace, prosperity and fraternal concord
which we once enjoyed. [Great and con
tinued cheers. [ v \ • •'
FKOII WASHINGTON.
SrZCIAL C RR2BP. NDFNC* OT IH* CHRONICLE & SENTINEL..
Shall We Have a War of Racer ?
Washington, D. C.. July 27, 1868.
Dear Chronicle & Sentinel: Shall wo
have a war of races ? Shallthe negroes of
tlie South be formed into military com
panies, regiments and brigades, under the
] plea of organizing the “loyal citizens of the
i South into militia companies and organi-
I zations for the better security of person
j and property in the lately rebellious
j States?” Ihese are fearful yet all-im
i Dorlant questions to be decided, and that
at once. Now that the negro is placed
beyond the control of the conservative
white man of the South, and, although
ho has the option to take advantage, or
not, as he pleases, of the civilization
around him, but choosing to follow the
wild schemes of partisan ambition aod
malice, audit this partisan madness should
be carried to the extreme of arming the
negro, the white man’s duty to himaelf is
clear —to protect himself against the ne
gro, who, under the teachings of his
carpet-bag friends, is too apt to look upon
freedom as license, and rarely fails to con
found right and wrong in the pursuit of
his inclinations. But if left to the con
trolling influences of the better portion of
society by which he is surrounded, he is by
no means a dangerous element incur com
munity. We would not do him injustice,
but if the idea is to be installed into his
mind that his safety from the “murderous
intention of his former masters” depends
upon his being armed with rifle ahd ball,
then would we counsel the white men of
the youth to be prepared lor the worst.
If it is the design of the Radical party
here in Congress to inaugurate a bloody
war of the races upon the eve of State and
Presidential elections, then let the white
men of the country everywhere, who are
not in sympathy with this dark, damnable
plot, be forearmed for the congest!
As ali military governments are despotie
in their form and doubly dangerous in
their natures, when composed of a class
whose very nature is gross and brutal, it is
the duty of .the Caucasian race in this
country, as they must and should see that
such [government. when in such hands
most become oppressive and destructive
of the good of society and the liberties of
the people, to use such means as are in
their power to abolish it, and for the
future safety of society and the country to
, institute another form of government,
“laying its foundation on such principles,
and organizing its powers in such forms as
to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. ’ ’
This, ihen, leads us to say that it is the
duty of the Conservative masses, who
wish to see a restoration of good govern
ment in the Southern States, to be united
as one man, inspired by a noble'and gen
erous emotion to vindicate the honor and
security of his own race] and, as far as
possible, to ward off this bloody conflict,
and save the Federal and State Govern
ments from the abyss of perdition into
which they are now descending. Neither the
Federal nor State governments in the South
are now in a condition to assert the rights of
the people in this emergency. They must
protect /hcmselces,. and the sooner they
understand this the better ! Let them
organize. There is no time to hi: lost. We
arc upon the eve of a most bloody revolu
tion, and the surest way’ to mitigate its
evils or ward it off altogether, is to be
thoroughly organized to meet it.
“If we are men we will prepare at once
to defend the histoiy of our fathers. If
we are wise we will promptly meet the
armed organizations of the revolutionists
with armed organizations of the defenders
of the Constitution and civil liberty. If we
are fit to be free, when we hear the howling
and see the threatening fangs, and feel the
hot breath of this mad wolf of revolution,
we will turn upon it and keep it at bay.
If we have any claim to be called worthy
sons of patriot sires we will at once pre
pare to stand side by side, and shoulder to
shoulder in defence of our Constitution and
liberties, and when the hour for action
comes, march steadily onward and sweep
from the path of our outraged and a'veng
ing people the leaders of this fanatical raid
upon popular freedom, and their cowardly,
misguided negro followers.”
“If, indeed, this is the twilight of our
national existence, if the glorious promises
of the morning of our day are to be ob
scured in the dark night of revolution, let
us at least make one effort worthy of that
brightening morning, and of the full splen
dor of our high noon, to t inge this sundown
of our nation’s life with such gorgeous
memories of our past greatness as a people,
as to give hope of a resurrection and
another morning of lieht after this dark
night of revolution andfanatical desolation.
As American citizens, our hearts should
shrivel up with shamerif wc shrink from
the solemn duties .of the hour. Are we
free, bravo meu, to stand idly by and
witness our Constitution the roof
tree and protection of our homes, deliber
ately given to the devouring flames of
Jacobin fanaticism ? Are We men to stand
unmoved, and see our dearest rights ruth
lessly flung as food to the sneaking beagles
of a cowardly .Jaeabin faction? Can we,
as husbands or fathers, or sons, remain
with folded arms, while our wives, and
children, and mothers are openly despoiled
of what is dearer to them than life itself,
and not turn upon and strike to the earth
the robbers ? Can we, as American free
men, crouch humbly at the feet of 'our
oppressors, and only whine oyer our fate,
instead of springing at their throats and
making each one an example of an abused
people’s vengeance.”
Let the fate of Hayti and St. Domingo
stand as a beacon to warn us of our com
ing( fates, should we yield to the oppress
ors power. Our only hope is a unity of
action in a struggle for the restoration of
Constitutional iiberty. This was created
a government of laws, and not of the
sword. It was created a white man’s
government, and as such it was handed
down to us, and as such let jis transmit it
to our children.
Should we be anle to escape the perfidy of
the Jecobin faction who are now plotting
our overthrow, and, by false and mis
chievous teachings of a debauched and de
praved race, to stir up strife and bloodshed,
we may hope for a consummation of our
brightest dreams in the re-establishment
o! constitutional law and order, and the
restitution of peace and prosperity
throughout the land. This, then, can alone
be secured by every voter in the land
laboring^with might and main for the elec
tion of Seymour and Blair in November
next. Let one and and ail 'engage in the
, good work.
' Congress (so-called) will probably (?)
adjourn to-day, or rather, we would Isay,
take a recess. Fearing that the President
may, in the absence of his masters, attempt
to execute some of tlie provisions of the
Constitution, may determine to call the
Rump together in order to gratify the
new-born zeal of the Southern carpet
j baggers who are now so rampant upon the
old trail of impeachment. Some of these
have already out-Butlered Butler, and
their names inscribed high on the roll of
infamy. Metropolitan.

A Good Hotel.— Now that our South
ern in* rchants will be scon going on to
-New York for their fall purchases, we beg
to eaii their attention to the fact that Dr.
L. C, Duncan, formerly of South Carolina,
but more recently of the Planters’ Hotel,
in this city, has opened a fine, large, con
venient and admirably conducted hotel in
New York, on 14th street, near Broadway,
and that all who favor him with their
patronage will be warmly welcomed and
most hospitably entertained.
In a recent visit to New York wc were a
guest at Dr. Duncan’s house for several
weeks, and can speak from experience in
regard to its excellence. The house is in a
quiet part of the city, but convenient and
easily accessible from the business part of
the town. His terms are very low, only
$2 50 per day, and we are sure that South
ern merchants and other visitors will be
made to feel perfectly at home by Dr.
Duncan. Try the Chanler House when
you go to New York.
The Louisville Courier.—This popu
: lar paper appears in a handsome new
dress of copper-faced type. It is publish
ed by W. N. HaHeman, edited by Gener
al S. B. Buckner and an able corps of as
sistants, and is scut by mail at sl2 a year
for the Daily, $G for the Tri-Weekly, and
$2 for the Weekly. ‘ For four months, or
until after the Presidential campaign, at 50
cents per copy, or to a club of twelve $5.
Specimen copies of the Courier are for
warded on application.
Gable's Photouraph Gallery.—Our
neighbor at the corner, Mr. Gable, is tak
ing some very handsome pictures. His
Gallery is nicely fitted up, and has all the
modern improvements. We saw some
excellent speeimensyesterday, which would
reflect credit upon any Gallery.
It is a very desirable thing to have a
good picture of your family or friends, and
Mr. Gable can give you such a one on
very reasonable terms. Wc take pleasure
in commending him and his Gallery to the
public.
Mr. Gable will be pleased to see his old
friends, and a number of new ones at’,al
most any time.
The Happy Family.—The Radical
Convention Saturday reveals the fact that
the happy family is very inharmoniously
harmonious. Our whilom Democratic
friend, Hood, is endeavoring, with great
hardi-hood, to hoodwink the concern ;
Stallings looked as if he wanted to stall
the party ; but the Lyon shook his mane,
and lashed his tail, and roared so dread
fulijq while Bryant soft-soaped himself so
well, and called for his pipe and called for
his Bowles so successfully, that the as
semblage did succeed in getting through
without an open rupture.
Trot Him Out !—Bryant said in, his
harangue at the City Hall Saturday, that
somebody had accused him of comiDg over
to the Democratic party, We think that
the Democratic Executive Committee of
Richmond County ought to offer a reward
for the discevery of the man who could
thus wantonly slander the Democratic
party.
The Republican County Conven
tion. —The Republican County Conven
tion assembled at the City Hall at 24
o’clock P. M. Saturday. There ftaa quite
a large gathering of colored people, but very
few white Republicans were among them.
Bryant, as Chairman of! the Republican
Executive Committee, nominated Col. J.
Bowles as Chairman of the Convention,
which was ratified. The Chairman made
a few remarks, in favor of Grant and
Colfax and urged his hearers to ofcservo
liberality and politeness with their political
opponents.
E. F. Blodgett was then, on motion, ap
pointed Secretary.
W. J. White (colored) moved to appoint
a committee of seven to nominate dele
gates to the Republican State Convention,
which meets at Atlanta on the 18th inst.
Mr. Hood moved to read a letter from
a distinguished Republican of Richmond
county. Upon this motion, after a little
excited discussion, the Secretary read a
letter from Foster Blodgett, urging harmo
ny in the Republican party. The letter
Vi as received With cheers.
Then came an intaresting little by-play,
in which the harmony of the happy family
was exhibited in a very inharmonious way.
Mr- Stallings moved, as a substitute to
White’s motion, to appoint F. Blodgett,
E. M. Brayton and Simeon Beard as dele
gates to the Convention.
Avery interesting discussion ensued, in
which Hood, Bryant, White and Lyons
took part'. The Chair suggested and
Lyons moved to refer the substitute to the
Committee when appointed. Hood insinu
ated that the Chair was not dealing fairly.
The Chair was offended and protested it's
innocence. Some confusion ensued and
there were cries of‘'Put him out!’ Col.
E. F. Blodgett ipovedthe previous ques*
tion. The Chair refused to put it, because
he had already commenced putting
White’s motion to the Convention. Biod
gett appealed to the Conveption, hut the
'Chair was sustained. Lyons’ substitute
and White’s motion were both adopted.
The Chair appointed on the Nominating
Committee, W. J. White (colored), J.
Vaughan, D. Greer (colored), G. Snowden
(colored), Win. Ilaie (colored), E. Lyons,
andE. M. Brayton.
Bryant here read a letter from Joshua
Hill, expressing his inability to appear be
fore and address this Convention, on ac
count of ill health, but promising to take
the stump for Grant and Colfax sometime
during the canvass.
The meeting then adjourned to the front
of the City Hall, where Bryant addressed
the meeting—vindicating himself from the
charge of having sold himself to the Dem
oCratsfor SIO,OOO, Taking two or three
or four very solemn oaths to stand by the
great Republican party, explaining his ac
tion in the Legislature, and calling upon
his colored brethren to stand by him and
to defend him during his absence from the
city. He compared the resolutions of
the two platforms in reference to Congres
sional Reconstruction and endeavored
to impress upon the minds of the negroes
that if Seymour and Biair are elected the
present Southern governments would be
removed, and per consequence all the
rights which they now enjoy be taken from
them. And then, in an agony of anguish,
he cried aloud, Is it safe suddenly to de
prive 500,000 citizens and 100,000 voters
of their rights ? Upon this theme he
dwelt at length, and with emphasis, evi
dently, in our judgment, endeavoring to
create animosity on the part of the color
ed people toward the white, and suggesting
to them acts of violence, should the pres
ent carpet-bag government be destroyed !
He expressed his belief in the Bible, and
took the view that ail men—the Dutch
and the Irsh, and the English, and the
French, as well as the Negroes and the
Americans—were all alike “equill”
and he was for giving them “equill
rights.” He “alwus was and alwus
will be!” or any other man!
He thought he saw the hand of the Al
mighty in sundry affairs of this world —as,
for instance, the discovery of America by
Columbus ; the death of Jefferson and
Adams on the same 4th of July, fifty
years alter the adoptioa of the Declara
tion of Independence ; and eulogized
Providence for being always with the Re
publican party—a piece of blasphemy
which even Bryant ought to be ashamed
of. He said he would explain his vote
against Blodgett for Senator privately.
l’here were somethißes improper to be
given publicly, tut would stand by Blod
gett as Mayor. He believed his election
as Senator would be fetal to the
psrty, but as Mayor all could
and should sustain him until legal
ly and constitutiohally removed. He
also took a financial view of the relative
positions of Congressman and Legislator
the first a profitable investment, the
latter a losing business, and showed how,
with self sacrificing patriotism, he gave up
the glittering prize for that humble posi
tion where he could stand by the people
and give “equill rights” toali! He was
very heavy on those who had slandered
him by calling him a Democrat ! and
thiew the lie around promiscuously, as if
he expected every minute to see some
Democratic Minerva step out and swallow
it, or shake its warlike fist at him ! In
conclusion, he asked several conun
drums of his hearers, such as,
Didn't I always tell you to be
polite to your former masters ? Didn’t I
always tell you to stay with them if they’d
let you? Didn’t I always standby you
alone and fearlessly when other men wero
afraid to stand by you, and before there
were any votes to give away ? And his
bearers answered them sometimes before
he got them fairly out of bis mouth, and
had to ask them to wait!
At the conclusion of the speech, the
Committee retired, and W. J. White (col.),
Chairman, reported the following as dele
gates to the State Convention: Foster
Blodgett, Ben. Conley, E. Lyons, T. P.
Beard, J. E. Bryant, E. Tweedy, and S.
W. Beard. On motion, the Chairman and
W. J. White (ool.), and E. M. Brayton
were added to the delegation,‘each delegate
having power to appoint his own alterna
tive.
Bryant read Joshua Hill’s letter again,
prefacing it with some remarks about the
Democrats having helped to elect him and
being committed to say nothing against
him, etc.
W. J. White (colored), made a few re
marks, and the Convention adjourned.
It was then, on motion, resolved into a
Mass Meeting, and a series of resolutions
offered by E. F. Blodgett were read and
adopted.
They set forth that a political meeting
was held on Thursday last, at which the
city authorities were misrepresented, and
false charges made against them because
they were Republicans ! and referring the
misstatemeuts in reference to the city finan
ces to Messrs. Conley and Tweedy, Repre
sentatives at Atlanta.
The meeting then adjourned.
lei Vs Have Peace.
Mr. Tutulin, member from Randolph,
introduced, in the House of Representa
tives on Thursday last, a resolution which,
if adopted in good faith and carried out in
a true catholic spirit, must be productive
of much good, not only iu calming the
rather excited feeling which, without
doubt, has full sway in the breastsof very
many of both parties in the House, but
also in concentrating the intelligence and
vigor and good sense of the Legislature
upon subjects of vital interest to the
whole State.
The excitement of the organization—of
the inauguration—of the ratification of
the Constitutional Amendment—of the
Senatorial election—of the eligibility of
members—of the application of the test
oath and all other like exciting and irrita
ting causes having been removed or pass
ed—we join heartily in the invocation of
Mr. Tumlin that, “burying all party feel
ing and prejudice,” the members of both
houses enter at once upon the considera
tion of those questions of State polity
which, in the present condition of affairs,
demand prompt and efficient action.
There should, be no attempt made to
identify any of these grave questions of
State policy with either of the present po
litical parties. The good men of all shades
of opinion in both branches of the Legisla
ture should unite harmoniously together
iu perfecting the machinery of State gov
ernment, and the enactment of suitable
laws for the protection of all classes of
our people.
There are scores of good men in the
General Assembly who, lured by the
promised “relief” clause of the Constitu
tion, or beguiled by the serpent tongue of
ex-Governor Brown into the belief that
the adoption by the State of Georgia of
the Reconstsuction measures of Congress
would alone save the country from an
achy, or a military despotism, voted and
acted with the reconstruction party in the
last elections. These men never contem
plated the abandonment of their race by
co-operating with the Radical party.
This is most clearly shown by the
result of the recent Senatorial elec
tion, in which moderate men —men who
are, and always have been, opposed to the
dogma of negro superiority and white
disfranchisement—have beeu supported
and elected by the combination of these
“conservatives” with the Democratic ele
ment in both houses.
We hope and believe that now the ex
citing causes for further division of the
good men in the Legislature having ceased
to exist, that there will be entire accord
and harmony among them in the further
development of necessary legislation for
the good of the State. At least we can
see no good reason why any of the import
ant questions of prospective legislation,
such as a proper Relief Law—State aid to
Railroads —the proper and fair adjustment
of the Tax Laws—the common school sys
tem the proper enforcement of the
criminal laws of the State—the preserva
tion of the purity of the judicial er
mine—the regulation of official salaries—
should be made in any shape or manner
party or partisan questions. The leading
object of each member’s ambition should
be to so shape the law of the State as to
secure the greatest amount of good for the
greatest number of the people.
To the extreme or ultra-Radicals we
would address a word or two, and more
particularly to that class of the party who
expect to remain permanently in the State.
The results of the late election both North
and South, but-particularly in the South,
show that yours is necessarily doomed to be
a shori lived party. Its spirit of intolerance,
proscription and vindictive spleen against
the inteliigence,and virtue of the South
has arrayed against it more than nine
tenths of the entire whitJ population.—
The great body of the Southern Repub
lican party is composed of the black race.
These black men are as a class very ig
norant, and sadly deficient in high moral
attributes. They are impulsive, confiding,
imitative, and for a time easily controlled.
At heart they are much attached to their
old masters and their families, and will
shrink with abhorrence from any attempt
to destroy or injure their old master’s in
fluence in the conduct of the Government.
That they have been temporarily seduced
into the Radical ranks, is one of the evi
dences of their too confiding natures.
They believed the carpet-baggers who
overran the State soon after the close of
the war, because they felt that emancipa
tion had come from the men of the North;
and they believed the monstrous stories
which were told them of land, and mules,
and social equality. In all these they
have been disappointed. They see that
their social position is and must be in the
future the work of their own hands ; that
no human law can be framed which will
confer social equality upon any race or
class of men ; and they see further, and
this it is which shocks and alarms them,
that the intelligent minds of the country,
the experience and wisdom of the State,
has been disfranchised in order that the
weak and corrupt class of carpet-baggers
and scalawags may be installed into office
throughout the State. The honest black
man is shocked at the barefaced villainy
of such proscription, and throughout
the State they are proving, by
their acts, that they will no longer be
made beasts of burden to bear upon their
stalwart shoulders the hordes of carpet
baggers and scalawags into office.
The Radical party is sure to fail—igno
miniously foil—in the South. The princi
ples, or rather motives of that party (for
they cannot be said fairly to have any
principles), are of such a character, and
their leading men so destitute of honor
and character, in addition to the damning
fact that they attempt to place the seal of
inferiority to the black race upon their
own Anglo-Saxon kith and kin, that, as a
matter of protection alone growing out of
the first great law of nature, the good
people of the State cannot now and never
will recognize them socially, commercially,
religiously, or politically as proper subjects
for the extension ol those amenities of
civilized and social life which are so neces
sary for the oomfort and happiness of man
as a member of society.
This is no feeling of political antago
nism. It finds its roots and causes deeper
in the foundations of society than mere
political affiiliation. It is a question of
caste, of race, of blood. It is not because
the Radicals would elevate the negro
race—for this they make no attempt to
do but because they would degrade
their own race to the level and
even put them below the negro in the
power to participate in the administration
ot a common government, that the almost
entire white race of the South have raised
the cry of non-intercourse against these
meroenary betrayers of their kindred and
friends.
The Democratic party of the State de
sires the elevation, education and civiliza
tion of all the colored people, They wish
to see them prosperous, industrious, intel
lieenfc and happy. They are willing, nay
anxious, to see them secured by law in
all the just rights of freemen. They do
not believe that they are now, just emerg
ing as they are from a state of semi-bar
barism, capable of conducting or controll
ing in the affairs of State. They are as
babes, without experience in G-overnment
affairs.
It would be a cruel wrong to the igoorant
black man to thrust upon him, in his pres
ent ignorant condition, the burden and
obligations of a governing race. The Dem
ocratic party would improve his mind,
brighten his moral perceptions, enlarge his
experience of men and things, quicken his
religious feelings and elevate him in the
scale of moral free agents.
The sensible colored men of the country
are beginning to see that the Democrats
are their best and truest friends. Thpy
know that it is not right that a few un
principled carpet-baggers and scalawags
should he allowed to hold office when their
old masters —the former great men of the
State —are disqualified.
Upon the basis of equal and exact jus
tice to all—in the protection and enforce
ment of all legal rights of every class and
race—with the extension of such privileges
to the colored man, as by experience and
education, ho may be made capable of
exercising, with moderation, intelligence
and safety, we invite all the true men of
the State to unite with the Democracy in
waging uuceasing warfare upon the un
constitutional, intolerant and vindictive
policy of the Radical Jacobins.

OFFICE BOARD OF TRADE, I
Augusta, Ga., Juiy-31, 1868—P.Mj
! IT NANCIAL. —Tkere has been a very good demand
during tho past week fbr Secnrities, especially Georgia
Kail Road and Central Rail Road Stock. The demand
for Bonds generally light. Gold ha% a strong upward
tendency, varying from 1.40 to 1.43. Bilvcr remains
unchanged.
•MERCHANDISE.—Trade during the week has been
dull, with but few changes in prices. Corn has ad
vanced somewhat, as will be seen by reference to our
price list Sugars and Salt are a little off.
COTTON.—The market during tho past week con
tinued its old state—dull and inactive. During tho
(ore part of the week there was a light loci! demand,
at about 29c for Middling, but towards the latter part
of the week tho demand pretty well ceased, and prices
slightly declined, leaving Middling nominally at 28>*c.
The total sales of the week foot up 106 bales, and the
receipts 148 bales.
