Speech of Hon. S. S. Cox at Concert (lull
- Last livening.
Lust evening Concert Hall was crowJod on tho
occMflon of an address by IIou. 8. S. Cox,
ex-Con grp.-s man of Ohio, on "Tho Buslnes Con
dition of the Couutrj." Tbe meeting was or
panized by the selection of William C. Patterson,
Esq., as President, and the usual number of
Vice-PrefidentB.
Mr. Patterson introduced the speaker In a (sir
remarks to the uudicuce, after which he pro
ceeded as follows;
Gentlemen: I remember onca to have heard
perloruied a play called tbe Bvnoiion Jr'ami ytL
fast family. Throughout all tbe alnl'tiuus ot tbe
scene the lending "pwonneo, "Mudaue Bunol
ton," is alwajs inquired alter, but does not
appear, bhe ta altvavs about to go out or
expected lo Tcturn. Wa may be allowed to
inquire of our radical rulers, on this of all days
ot the yeir, after the leading fature of American
Republicanism. May we not ask In iui bumble way
after tbe American Constitution ! It is really
the bend of our poluicul family. As this is ltd
natal Cuy, and this city its birthplace, our radi
cal friends will not think it treason if 1 make a
few allusions to lis buth and iu function. In
pursuance of a resolution ot the Con;re-M of the
Confederation, of the 21st of KebriiAry, 1787, the
Convention was appointed which mt in this
city; ibt Conveulion udopted lh Constitution;
it was submitted to tbe stveml Slates, and rati
fied bj PeniiSjlvacia ou the 12th of December.
1787. It Dure the eieat name of Waibinmon I
It w si!uert by sucn nume-t as Siicrman. King,
Hamilton, Dajton, Franklin, Wilson, Morris.
Insretso'l, Cijmer, Malison, ltutledge, and
Pincknej. These weie ibe organic law-makers
ot our republic. I disrtuiii to speak ot tbe
CoiiBir.uuoii coddlers t this time in tho same
breath. Tuey jjave us a matchless instru
ment. It was tbe retlneinsnt of human polity.
It has been the theme of tho philosophic
mindx of ibe world since, a it embodied a'l
the wisdom and elluili.uird all uuwiidoai of the
ages belore its appeurauce. It soppl'.ud the de
fects of the Articles ot Confederation. It did
more. It reconciled all local and commercial
diveibities. It gave national unity. This uuity
lasted. It lasted uutil tho mad zealotry of
section?, North abd South, embroiled the un
williDff people. It was touubt, brst by hate and
then by war, to sever the bonas of constitutional
union. It is now sought fig tin to undo tbe
f reat work of 1787 by fresh invasious upon the
ntegritj and harmony ot tbe Federal system.
What a rasb advance upon tbe truth of history
and the genius ot timse who made our Govern
ment has been made bince eighty-one years ago
this day I When tbe Convention sent out its
rescript to theConsrr- s, wiih tbe Constitution
for ratification, it 'was urged that the ooly
desideratum in a national government was
the power to make war, peace, aud treaties, and
to levy taxes and regulate commerce. So jealous
were they of these po vers, that the lather
divided tbe trust among three organizations.
They called on the HtatPs to make sacrifices of
ISlate pride and individual liberty for these
objects. The btates responded. Said Waihina,
tou: '"In ibis svsteiu is involved our prosperity,
felicity, safety, national existence." Bo it was.
Bo it is to-day I 1 wUb to-night that the
17th of f-epterabsr c mid oe held sacred
to tbe memory of the Im mortal names
and the grand deeds of those who made and
ratified the Constitution. I dud ainont those
woo rati tied such Pennsylvanians as Ltonjatum
Bush, James Wilson, and Frederick A. Muhlen
berg. Tbey were men who looked forward, not
to a coudned area fur our Government, but to a
cordon of "unformed States, which were to bu
inhabited by myriads of our race." When Mr.
Wilson proposed to rntity the Constitution in
the Pennsylvania Convention, bis first thought
was one now so unusual of political and Chris
tian charity. "Diversity ot sentiment demanded
a spirit of mutual lorbearanct aud conciliation."
It was as indispensable then as Hit now. Conces
sion aud sacrifice were held to be absolutely
necessary to tbe expanding quality of the United
States Government; expanding in only one
direction the expanse of its defined aud limited
powers over new and formiug Slates 1 The great
elements of national unity were. secured; the
States were strengthened, aud by their streugth
the Union grew. We became strong against all
the world, for we fulfilled what Pennsylvania in
adopting tho Constitution piomised, "salutary
pei mancucy in magistracy aud stability in tbe
laws." Alas I what a fall since then, under
radical dispensations 1
This was our happy Union till 18G1. Then
radicalism began its work. The reptile bored
into the mound, the fierce waters rushed in
with violence, and to-day the remnant only of
tbe best system of human government stands as
a warning against excess and corruption.
I do not come here to jouto speak so much
about politics as ot the direiul effects which this
excess produces upon business. I am just from
Maine where 1 have seen the whole coast de
nuded of its ship-yards and foreign tonnage by
radical rule; aud it comes home to my appre
hension that other interests will tumble into the
same abyss under tho same burdens and
excesses Constitutions were intended to save and
protect, not to pester, harass, oppress, and re
press. Our Corstitation, so matchless for its
reserved powers, and so wonderful iu the
division and checks upon its granted powers,
- has been utterly set at naught iu war and peace
by the dominant party. That party cannot re
concile the sections, Mates, or races in the
Union. It is not in harmony with our organism
as a government.
To perceive why the radical policy has failed,
and why it will tail when completed, involves
an inquiry into the nature aud character of our
Union. As by the violation of these laws war
came, so by their observance, and by that alone,
will peacp come. As the immediate cause of the
war was the assertion of a light to throw off the
paramount Federal authority and withdraw
Btutes, so the cause of the present discontent is
the prncttcal assertion of tho right ot Congress
paramount to the oraanic law to keep States
out to regulate the conditions of their pre
tended admission, to intermeddle in Ihetr suffrage,
and to carry on what legisla'iou the? require
by citizens of other States, not familiar with
their neeas.
RECONSTRUCTION ACTS.
Here Mr. Cox discussed at length the relations
of the S ates to the Federal Government, and
illuptiated tbe radical revolutionary policy by
the Heconstructiou acts. These acts give all
coutroi over the States to Congress, and create
military power as its instrument.
The coi struetiou and execution of these laws
is not confided to the proper civil officers or
those tra.i ed iu tbe law. The will ot any petty
oiiicer or soldier who chooses to set uo bis in
terpre at'on U made, by express eLiiciiiient,
judicial, executive, aud legislative. Of course
tbe oiiicer plays fantastic tricks, which are ouly
relieved from the ridiculous by the terrible con
tequences in wh en tbey iuvofve all that is dear
in li e and prec.ous in liberty.
To compass this kind of precarious recon
struction, upon which tbe Republican platform
congratulates us, Congress subverts tbo original
plan of the Government. The division ot power,
btate and Federal, Is obliterated. The distribu
tion of powers amongtbe Federal departments is
wiped ou'. The triuity of co-cqual di-partments,
checklug each other, is transformed into a unity
of despotism. The Kxecutlve is Lobbied. Tbe veto
power is assassinated by tbe partisan removal
of enough members to make tbe minority less
than oue-tbird. The pa'doning power of the
President is usurped. His power ot appointing
oflicers and commanding tbe army Is destroyed,
lie Js only saved from decapitation by onj vo e!
lie is again threatened because ot his recent
Yeioei-!
The Supreme Court begins to onslder tho
status ot States. The question is properly
belore them. At one the Courtis threaem-d
with subversion aud cowed into submls-Jion.
Our comolex machinery, so nice In its adjust
merts ai d perlect in its fitness, with the delicacy
of a cbrou(me'er and the energy of an engine,
is thus deranged, aud the only liopu of restora
tiou, citizens, is iu the skill and patriotism of
the Democratic organization, w ho have learned
in the schools of the old master builders; wh'i
buiided lor us better than they knew, and far
better than their oegceudahts uudurstaiid or
practice!
You might re ailpy iUcr the particular evils
incident to these oryamc cututjus. Keud the
Reconstruction acts as they are Interpreted
South by ih satraps. Ilayontts regnfiting pri
vate dibts; the milirary deposing Btatn and
niunlc'pHl officer; tho elevation to office of
vagabonds from other States; the installation of
tieuroes in the place of white; tbe nolioe under
military control; the epaulettes giving the law
In military commissions Bnd supplanting tho
Judicature of the Slates; all in subversion of tbe
rights of habeas corpus and fair trial, secured
for eight hundred years.to our race, and liuaily,
as the climax, admitting Slates never out on
condition that tbey lose toelr right fonder
thereafter to revoke negro suffrage, and that
their suffrages shall be given on the oath of the
suffragan that be will never dispute negro
equality 1 -
Mr. Cox then referred to fhe "peace" which
General Grant demands, and which has net
come. Uo aked why our flasr floated from
camps, arsenals, and forts, as emblem of misrule
and repression It this be our condition Bouth,
who is to blameT
I will tell you who is no' to blame. At the end
of the war, the Statrs South were ready for
reconciliation. It was thpir sectional and our
national need. The soldiers of the South were
content; tho people were tired of war; the
ground was sated with blood; even the old
politicians sought apftiri tho old office?, under
1 ho old system. From President JohUion and
General Grant alike rame the word, In Decem
ber, 18C5, that the "mass of thinking meu of the
South acd-ptthe present situation of affairs in
good faith." "Slavery and secession," said
General G;atit, "are regarded as settled." He
insisted that "tbe Southern citizens were an
xious to return to selt-government in the Union
as roon as possible." Was this mere whitewash
oriact? Who has robbed us ot tbe fruits of
victories bought with such a price T Was there
reconciliation needed from tho ludicial or ex
ecutive departments towards the South? No.
Justice ws satisfied. No scaffolds were required.
Even good Mr. Greeley went bail for tbe ttebel
chief. The Executive gave amnesty. " Ouly the
hjena and other "beasts" prowled among
chaired ruins aud grass-covered graves ravcuing
for prey and reprisal. Tbe reconciliation was
cordial between the people. The Executive was
earnest in bis efforts. He had no power, even
by his vetoes, to stop the legt-latlon of fongre's
it it were sincpre in conciliation. All that was
wanted was what Mr. Lincoln said ought to have
been "compelled" by an amendment to tho Con
stitution: Hi-nresentatives from tbe South on the
floor ot Congre.-s. Tbe alienation would thus
have been spanned with a bridge of gold, and
the Constitution would have furu'shed tbe
arches for its construction. Tbe Executive had
a plan which harmonized with the Constitution.
The Supreme Court, as we now know, woald
have' approved. But Congress, by means of
f ecret caucuses and reconstruction committees,
Impeded all the efforts of Governors, people,
Legislatures, assisted by the departments at
Washington, who were ready to bind anew their
ptacticai relations, by means of members elect
to Congress, and with thir good will and alle
giance t the old Government.
It was Congress which refused their admis
sion as a solution of the problem, and proposed
a dilatory, moEstrous, Inconsistent1, prescriptive
ban aiiainst amnesty, Union, &id peace. Now
that chaos has come from it, the country is
tickled and taunted in a Republican plat orm
with piatulatlons on the marvellous success of
reconstruction I
It is between this plan of Congress, which
settles nothing permanently, aud the plan of
the Constitution, which is a settlement in form
and tact, ihat lurnishes the theme of political
debate. Which plan shall be the election of
the people f I do not ak an impassionate or
biased opinion between them. The only
question is 'SVbatis best, not lor parties, not
for soldiers, not for General Grant in gratitude
for martial services rendered with rare ability
but what is best for the country V
Before consierln? why the dominant party
has failed to reconcile aud rebuild, let me ass:
whether the discontent at the South now exist
ing has not grown more bitter with each day's
delay since General Grant's repott in 1865?
Wisdom would say, "Look at tho fact of discon
tent and obliterate Its existence." The reasons
for this bitter feeling South may be fallacious;
the people may have no just cause for it; but
so long as the discontent exists, it is a menace
to peace and a source of danger. There are
reasons paramount why tho discontent should
be appeased. Is tt a valid reasou for prolouging
trouble that it is waxing? When grievances
grow is there not more reason for assuaging
them? There was some wit, but no wisdom, in
the remark of Judge Busteed, that he would
keep the States South out In the cold till their
teeth chattered to the music of tho Union. He
would increase their discontent, aud, of course,
add new burdens for their further repression.
Discontent in communities is tho source of
ciime, lazine.-s, social discord, and personal
unsafety. Already secret societies, associations,
conspiracies, curses of every kind, and oat
rages ot every hue, taking the course of
hostility between tbe races, keeping capital from
the Southern borders and industry paralyzed,
are unsettling so much of the established order
as the war even did not disturb. These things
characterize the situation South. Why thev
exist, why military tyranny, tbeab:ence of civil
restraint, ana tbe domination or the untutored
classes should produce such results, is a social
problem which history and science may solve.
But our election is not as to the philosophy, but
as to the fact. Tbe skilful surgeon does not in
quire into the legal or moral elements of the
fray in which his patient has been maimed. Ho
goes to tbe wound and applies the kniie. With
all respect to General Grant, I do not see tbe
remedy lor our civil disorders in the use of his
word, however skilful its thrust and brilliant
its flash. Its sheath would be worth more. The
distribution cl arms now in process of being
passed by Congress to the South, Indicates that
our first General has not laid aside the symbols
of his profession. "Let us have arras." say the
negroes. "Let us have peace," says the Gene
ral; and he gives them arms, lie holds bis own
election at the poin of the sword. Oiir diseases
require far other treatment. We require con
stitutional remedies. We want them backed by
the public opinion which Webster said was
stronger than bayonets, which Ger.eral Blair
invokes, and which, to guiltv apprehensions,
looks so like revolutiou. These remedies will
ceme, when tbat opinion bears iuto tho Execu
tive chair Horatio Seymour.
Now, gentlemen, we all know that our busi
l ess interests will not be pr-erved uuleg there
is prcduction. consumpt.on, and exchange in
the country. TraLsportation, railways, sea-going
sbii s. ever.vthiDg or tbat kind must grow. We
must huve, however, peace and contentment in
the country. As a natural deduction from that
premise, allow me to say tbat it is almost impos
tible. under the present state of taxation, with
our immense and growing debt, for ns to have
that production aud consumption until we study
economy. As Govcrcor Seymour said, aud said
so truly, tbat when we caii get peace, sconomy,
and im on, then we may calculate to lessen our
tavatiou; then we can do justice to the bond
holder, and do justice to the tax-paver; and
then, then ouly, can we bring up our greenback
currency to us proper value in s'.etliug coin,
and make thut miserable currency redeemable
in the legal Under of tbe Constitution. (Applause
si d three cheers for i-oratio b'evmour.)

Did Conarest? Why did tbey not commence
the practice ot economy riebt in the halls ot
Congress? The expenses of the lat Coniress,
about $700,000 per anuum, weie double lhos
ol three yeurs ago. Tbe taxes of this naiiou, in
tho last three years, have run up to over
$1,600,600.000 equivalent to learly all the
taxes of this Goemment from its banning in
1777 down to 1801, lacking only $200,000,000.
This vcar they tax the people about $400 0 '0 000;
$1:10.000,010 go to pay the interest on the debt;
$130,000,000 po to sustain au army and bureta!
winch to me seems a domestic soup-ladle that
they run down South I (Laughter.) This
uinkes $2GO,000,000, equivalent, as any man
will tell you, to nearly the value of all our
wl ent raised iu this country; enough to build
two rullronds to the Pacific, and the remaiuder
goes towards the contingent expenses of tbe
Government. We have raised enough in the
last three years to have paid nearly half the
natlcnul debt And wbere has It all goneto?
i-ooip one told me that it went into tho carpet
bays travelling through tbe South !
Mr. Crow, of your Stat-, told the people of
Penury Ivaiiii ttlut nobody paid the tsxes but
the rich n en who hai mouev. und tbat the pior
man paid none. Now, it strikes me thut tbe
iireut bulk of Usu ion lu this country lulU upou
tbe poor and Industrious roan. You can buy
nothing the food that you eat, tbo clothes tbat
you wear, or the tools with which you earn
jonr livelihood without being taxed. The
sugar plantations have been devastated, and
ow the people pay millions for imported sugar.
The radicals tell yon that tbey do not tax your
wages. I - know they don't, but they tax all
your wages buy. You cannot make as much off
$2'50 and $3-50 a day now as you could off $1'50
and $2 a day some year ago; aud all because of
this burdensome tax. want of economy, and that
nnparslleled extravagance which has destroyed
the nation. . . ,
If the businessmen of Philadelphia want to
pet at the s cret of tbe depression of business,
let them go down to tbe foundation, and see
why it is tbat labor does not pay as it used to
l ay, and then they will see why it is that, trans
portation and sale have have so Urgely fallen
off In this country.
I bave just returned from a trip to Milne,
where the Democrats have maie the noblest
fight that ever was made! (Great appHuse.)
And wbeie, on a fair tight, made on naUnnil
issue s, and not tire fight made last year about
the liquor and constabulary, the Democrats
bave guined enough, tbat, with the same ra'.io,
and the same increase in tbe Presidential elec
tion, Maine will bear her issue with Seymour
acd Blair. (Great npplause.) While I was up
in tbat S'a'e, I had occasion to learn many
things which interest you, for Philadelph a was
once, if not now, a great commercial port. I
tell you, that from one end of Maine to the other,
blessed as it is with its magnificent forests and
harbors, five time as great as all England can
boast, ylth twenty-five hundred miles of sea
const, with ship-yards irom Passamaquoddy to
Kittery, where they Used to make ships by the
hundred, now, from one extremity to tbe other,
there is business depression. There are but
four little barques buildin? upon the stocks, and
all the ship-yard are . deserted and idle! Toe
stevedores, builders, mat"8, and seamen are
all either Idle or gone, and the old art for which
Maine pri lid herself is fallen into decay, and the
commercial business of our country Is departing
from our sboies. There Is noLhlug done In the
foreign business with ourowu bottoms whereas
ten yeais ago we carr.cd in our ships all our
imports and exporis with the exception of about
one-bltb.
Three-fourths of our commerce Is now transact
ed through tbe the medium of foreign ships. Let
that speait to our ltpubliean friends 1 England
has increased her tonnage in ten years irom tour
lo nine millions; France, irom one to three
millions, while our country has decreased its
tonnage, all through radical misrule, repression,
and taxation. We bave fallen off one-half in our
tonnage, and nil the business is passing under
foreign control.
Let us economize! The first thing to do Is to
strike out that Negro Bureau to lift off the
burden of the aimy incumbrance and expense,
so that industry an 1 honest mbor should not 1)3
needlessly taxed and oppressed.
The Kepubiican party, after over three years
of failure and delay, And its power on the
wane. Great States, east and west, fly from it
as from leprosy. Hence, it added a resolution
to its late platform on motiou of General
Schurz "comojendnfg magnanimity and for
bearance towaids Kebels who co-operated with"
whom? What? With the countrv? With the
Constitution? With the States all? Not with
"us!" Their test tor the removal of disqualltt
caflons is their own partisanship. It is not
patriotism. Of course, such a test as the elec
tions South have determined cuts off from
participation in the Government the great body
of the best informed whites. This commenda.
tion of maguanimity is a tricky flasn of rhetoric,
if not an ironic taunt. It was proven to be
empty when it was sought to incorporate Hous
ton, of Alabama, nno Jones, of Tennessee, in
the amnesty bill. They were Democrats, and
hence no grace for them.
Mr. Cox theo discussed at length the fiscal
questions, advocated equal taxation of all pro
perty, whether in bonds or not: denounced the
greenback issue as a fraud on labor, urged the
reduction ot expenditures and the return to the
Democratic days ot economy and bard money.
He said the debt was growing: tbe cost of gov
ernment is now $14, when it was the yaar before
the war but $160 per head; that whereas it
only cost us seventeen thousand millions for
seventy-two years before 1861, i'. has cost us the
same lackiug two bunared millions tor three
years past ot radical rule. He pointed out
various ways in which economy could be prac
ticed; beginning with Congress, bureaus, aud
aimy. Ho said it hsd been proven that our
commerce was dead. Tuis w as an evidence that
production was dying. Our very skill even
in agriculture is failing. The burdens of
radical taxation incumber the land. We
are already a third-rate power iu ships
and commerce. Our imports are growing
beyond our exports, with the lapse of time.
Our bouds are going abroad. Wo are paying
tribute to nabobs, absentees, aud capitalists.
There is only one relief for men ot business anl
men ol patriotism. It is in a change. Tne oi l
quack should be dismissed. A new physician
should be called. In all that gives etability to
industry, freedom to trade, standards to cur
rency, equality in taxation, economy in admin
istration, self-government to States peace to the
Union; at home, peace abroad, peaca aud
glory in all that makes up a law-abiding and
Coustitutlon-revering.party the Democracy will
stand in the next seventy years, as it has in the
seventy years before the war, as a wall ot ada
mant against the waves of radicalism 1 It is this
party that has made our land great and our
Government slrong, not by the collisions of
civil war, but by tbe cultivation of concord.
Under the control of Democracy, we should,
before now, have had this whole contineut
banded under a federal ht ad, holding half our
hemisphere, as gravity holds the stars, by tho
system of constitutional law.
Before the war the Demoerr cy strove to save
the nation with earnest, patriotic, and peaceful
endeavors. Durug the war tt commanded it
sons to tbe field with melancholy pride: au 1 It
gave its sweetest blood to the cause, as it bad
given Its kindest counsels. Horatio Symour,
by bis speeches and his administration in Now
oUc, Is a fair type and noble iilustrtion of
Demccrailc patriotism. His record is crvsUllin.
In vnin blander assails it. Hp, like the party
whoet exponent he is, afcepted tbe results of the
war as tbey were declared, as In honor bound,
and Intbe spirit of Christian amne-ly, "wtth
malice to i.one, charity to all to bind up the
nation's wounds, and to do all tbat may achieve
ai d cherish a just and lasting peace among
ourselves and all nations." In this spirit the
I emocracy intend to contend. It they fall, then
tbe stars iu their courses arc against them. If
they succeed, the spirit of Christ will temper
the people, snJ all that is forgiving and good
will encompass tho Cons'.ilution as sentinels
for its guard aud its sweet honor. Then, over

with the passions engendered by our civil
strife, there will fepring, like none
