"ranra, 1 fuel an IrrcRlstible desire to take a prt
la tbe content, tn order that I miKiit abate with
yon the victory whlcb. I feel jou are roln to
win. I come, as you know very well, from a
Uy wbicb snares with you the glories of the
country aad tbe Union, and which feels, as you
Ho, every stab which in made at) it. Tbe people
whom I represent at home Join with you, the
people of Philadelphia, in wishing thitt tbo?e
things for which you and they louptit during
four years of bloody war may be realized, and
that the great objects for which the patriotic
people suffered during so many anxious years
nay not be df tented by the fanaticism ol any
party or class of men.
The radical party came Into power In this
country by a minority vote. They nave been In
power nearly eight yeaw, aud I ho people of the
United Slates ot America are now about to call
them to account. Eight years ot ab'olnte power,
with the control of both houses of Conres,
the control of nearly every Northern Hute, un
limited amounts ot money at their command,
and the support of the people everywhere to
snstaiu them I They carried this people through
the WBr upon protections of loyalty and patriot
ism. They declared that the object of the war
was to pn serve the Union of the States, aod at
the same time to maintain the rights of the
Htates. They declared that the war was not
wnaci In auy spirit ot subjugation, bat for the
sole purpce of maintaining tua-ainuority of tho
Union and the supremacy of the dag.
Preldeot Lincoln himself declared that the
. sole objector the Northern people In maintain
iug tbe wsr against rebellion and secession
wa to preserve the Union and the Government.
That it in order to do that it was necessary to
make slaves tree, he was in favor of freeing the
slaves; bnt If in order to save the Government
and the Union it was necessary to maintain
slavery, he believed in so doing. The people of
this country, lor the take ol preserving the
Union and tbe authority of tbe flag over this
whole broad domain, gave forth their hundreds
cl thousands ot brave men to go upon tbe
battle-field, aud otl'ered their thousands of
millions of money to sustain them and to
sustain tbe Government, (applause.) The
victories which wer won are no party victories.
The patriotism of the whole people sustained
the Government, Tliera were Democratic
households which were made desolate by the
loss ot husbands, fathers, aad sobs, just as thera
were Republican households which were
placed in mourning for lost husbands, fathers,
nd sons. The people, without regard to party,
ent forth their meu aud gave their money, and
the people, without regard to party, now
demand that the things ior which they fo jght
and for which they surlered shall be realized
and enjoyed. (Great applause.)
The var cost many thousands ol lives and
many thousand and millions of dollars. The
country did and does not begrudge it, if, as tha
result of that expenditure, we are to have a pre
served Union, a nappy, prosperous people and
united Government. But if the result of that
expenditure ot lite and money is to be ten Stites
controlled either by military power, or else by
the domination of tbe blttck man in those
Southern Slates, and we are In fact to have no
real uuton and no real peace then tbe people
feel and know that the lives which were sacri
ficed and the money which was spent wero lives
sacrlQccd and money spent in vain. (Voices
That's so.") And it is because these men, to
whom you have entrusted so much power, and
in whom you have conflded so much, who have
promised so much, have been false to every
pledge made before the war and during it; have
ripen lal e to evpry oath taken rbou ibam to
their offices, and have trampled upon the Con
stitution; have overthrown the laws, have as
sailed the President, have put shackles upon the
Bnprenie Court, aud in ten Southern States have
forced negro sutlrage npon tbe people and white
disfranchisement: and now tbe people of Penn
sylvania, and the people of every other State,
except probably in New England, have aroused
themselves to the determination that they will
Lave a change ot administration aud a change
of circumstauces. (Applause, and three rousing
chci rs, )
What has the radical party done? It proml-ed
you i race and union. It has given you un
ceasing trite. What has it done? It promised
y"ou when the Rebellion was endd, and
thote in lcbelliuu hud submitted to the authority
ot the Government, that the men of the South
should again be represented in the Congre.-s of
the country, and that they arid we should put
our choulueis to the wheel aud push ou tbe
great coach of constitutional government
through the laud. But now, instead of that,
having perjured the abolition of slavery by the
act of the Southern States themselves; having
procured absolute and unconditional surrender
through tha patriotism and gallantry and bravery
of tbe Northern people, they have created mili
tary districts in tbe Southern States, and they
have there disfranchise! all, or nearly all, the
white intelligence of tho.e btates. and hare
placed tbe negro, just fred from slavery, abjve
the white man.
They have forced negro suffrage upon the
Southern states, where it was important, and at
tbe Chicago Convention declared that in tbe
Northern btates, where it was unimportant, tbe
question balonnei to the people, and they nave
a riebt to settle it. W by did they do it? Way
did they say that the people in tbe Northern
States had a right to settle this question? It wat
becauce in every Northern State (eicepting in
some of tbe States ot New Enlaud) wiiore the
question had been submitted to the people, it
was defeated by ten, twenty, thirty, and forty
thousand majority, aud thus deter mined that the
government of tbe States belonged to the white
men of thoea States and to them only. (Ap-
glause.) And they dure not in one of these
tates they dare not in Pennsylvania, or la
Ohio, or in Indiana, or Illinois, make the subject
ef negro sutlrage the test as they go before tbe
people. Tbey think that you men of Pennsyl
vania, IcoLing at it from way down in the dis
tant Southern States, do not realize and cannot
realize its vast importance. Tuey keep it axay
from your own doors, and supiose they rati
blind you to tbe importance of tbe qsestlon in
the Ktales which lie at a distance. 1 will show
Jou directly that tha question comes as near
omc to you as if you lived there, because it
places under the con.rol of the negroes there
tbe government, ot tlio-e States and as they can
choose their .Senators in tho Cotigiess of tbe
United States and tbe r members in the Home
of Representatives, tbey are to bave a vote with
the people ot New York aud Pennsylvania, mid
"Kith the people of Ohio and Indiana, iu admin
istering tbe Government.
Now, my friends, tbey have down Sauth im
poed upon the peplo there, as a test of their
right to vote, what is called a "tost oath,"
which requires every man, before he can ba
registered aud can vote, to swear that he
Relieves in civil and political equality of all
men, without retrard to color, i Laughter.)
Why, my friends, if that test oath were imposed
in the State of Pennsylvania, or New York, or
Ohio, or Indiana, not one quarter of the people
tn any of these 8'ates could tako It. (Cries of
"So, no.") Tbe men who vote no in Penn9yl
air. Democrats aud Republicans, could not
of anyone of the Southern States where
that tesipala is Imposed; it would disfranchise
you, just m n disfranchises. them, and unless
you, it you ye& a one ot those Southern
States, took the oath In the presence of your
Maker that the ignorant and indolent bUck
man, Just freed Horn ,iavery, was equal to the
white, you could not vte. An,, t$M a party

ILeagnersof tbe city of Philadelphia and i8e.
where thaTge upon you, because you refuse t
Accept thla Uoetrine 0 negro equullty, aud the
.adorn and policy of the test oath, and tl.a
system of their own reconstruction they charge
U upon you that yon are disloyal to that tag
disloyal to joor country 1 Tbey iinore tha
tones of the 1sy; taey refute tn their papars
or In their public meeting to discuss any o(
the questions fc which I have referred. Tbe?
refue to enlighten yon npon tha subject of
taxation; but whenever yan refer to any if
these subjrcls tbey raise the cry of "Copper
head," "Kcbel," "traitor." (Laughter.) Tais Is
tbe argusnent presented by them to the American
people. We do not mean, my friends, in the
canvass In which wo art now engaged, that
they shall escape tbrfponsibility or diseasing
the questions which now Interest tbe American
peopla. Tbe next point to which we shallctll
your attention Is tbo msanness ot the radical
party in claiming the victories of tho war as
nattv triumphs I Tbey claim the victories
without mentioning tou. Why should they?
When President Lincoln first called lor 7f,000
volunteers to test tbe feeling of tha American
psople, who responded to tbe call? (Cries of
'Democrats.; Why, my friends, Democrats
and Republicans alike. Tbe people, without
leeard to party, responded to that call, an 1 sent
forth their hundreds of thousands, and now the
men who claim the victories of th.it war as a
party triumph, should have put upon tnem the
seal of popular condemnation. The next point
to which I call your attention, ior I can only
hurriedly refer to these points, aa I cannot
speak at treat length in the open air. Is the
itigtatitnitn of the radicals ot Pennsylvania
towards II 01 alio Seymour.
Mr. hoMiiiHa coulinued: When your State
was Invaded by the army of the Rebellion: wheu
your rich men ot Philadelphia sent their trea
sure to the city of New York for safe keeping;
when Pennsylvanians trembled not only for the
safety of their cspital, but lor the safety ot the
nation, HoraMo Setmour sat In the chair of
state at Albuuy, culm, cool, aud patriotic, and
forwsrded reirm.ent alter regiment, and regi
ment afer regiment, to within the bounds of
your own Slate t save it from destruction.
(Great cheetiug.) Aud as they came mnrcblug
through your borders and planting themselves
where tbe greatest danger was, tbe messages
went on tro n Seymour at, Albany to the authori
ties at Wasliiugton, ' Shall I fend any mote?" aud
us the mesiaire came irom him the answers
came buck Irom L'neoln and Stanton, 4,We
want to morel We thauk you for your
promptness and patriotism." And yet these
radicals of Pennsylvania, who trembled In
that hour of peril to the State and tbe na
tion, to-day deuounce hitn who saved them
as 'ditloyal" to bis country, aod refuse
to give him credit for saving their state, and
when, having stripped bis State of troop, a riot
broke out in the ctty of New York, fotuen'el by
radical meu anp ra l cut means, be came to the
City Hall of New York, and by a Mnale word to
the excited crowd brought "peace where war,
aud uurest, and destruction were prevntitutr,'1
for stripping his 8' ate of troops, aud than being
able to save his own people by one single word
ot wisdom, they denounce him as disloyal to
the flag and disloval to the country. If there U
anj thing on the face of the earth, whether it bo
towards Heaven or towards mn, which de
serves the highest condemnation of avery hon
est patiiot. it is that sin of "ingratitude," tho
bapfst, meanest s-iu of which any man can be
guilty. And 1 a-k ihe moderate men of Penn
sylvania, the conservative men of this Stale, the
men who Hte not mere partisans, but who go
with the right wherever tbey thiuk tho right to
be are they n at to renoke this spirit of hate
and fanaticism wb.ch refuses to give
honor to that man who, lu the coolness
ot his judgment, sent lotth the troops to
save his fetate, aud so saved the nation? I
with next to refer to tbo meanness of the radical
party, not only in shoeing ibeir ingratitude to
civiliaus, but In showing their base ingratitude
and disregard to the claims of the soldier. The
other night, my inenda, in the city of New
Yoik, lu and around tbe Cooper Institute, was
gathered a vast radical assemblage. It met to
celebrate tbe battle ol Antietam. It was ad
dietsed by men who were upon their shoulders
tbe stars which it is supposed our country put
there. And yet of all these men, claiming to bs
officer?, and soldiers and sailors of tbe American
army and navy, aud who were sailing under tha
flag of the radical party not one was to be
found who would even mention the namn of
Uflurgo U. A4oJ11Iad. tJio ffnll.toi 0nr.l I ( llcic
ensued another burst of applause and a ser.es of
dealeuing cheers, which lasted for a long time.)
Well need the thousands of brave meu who
were led by him to victory, who honor, revere,
respect, aud love him, ta avenge tbe insult
which tte radicals of New York put upon him
on that celebration of Antieium. (Volcos
"ibey will.") He is a citizen of your own
beauiifuF city; you know him well. He
is now on the broad ocean; he is on his
way back to his home to the hone
he loves and the people he respects, and
when he cuters your cityv on tho comiug week,
a returned rivate citizen, will not the great
maf.es ot the people ot Philadelphia turu out to
avenge the Insult can upon him on tho lust
aunivertary of Antietam? And whpu you come
to vote, will you vote for ths men who retused
to honor that General who wou the victory
they met to celebrate? My lriends, I speak not
of the mus of radicals, or Republican party. I
speak ot tbe leaders. 1 speak of the men who
misled the people. Citizens of Philadelphia,
you have belonging to your State a General
whom you delight to honor. I speak of Genaral
i Meade: and yet if he should utter oae conser
vative tentimcut. the l.oval League of Philadel
phia (which now opens its doors wide to do him
honor) would swear that Sickles was the hero
of Gettysburg, and that Meade Instead of tickles
dsserved to be cas'jiered tor a violutlon of an
order which put in poril, not only those who
battled, but the very natian itself. Such is a
specimen of radical ingratitude of radical
mean octs. aud radical intolerance ou tbe part
of our leading opponents.
Tuc next proposition to which I shall cll your
attention is this that tbey bave built up in this
country a vast untaxed moneyed pover agVinst
an overtaxed people! .nd it their polioy be not
chicked by the people; the result will be this:
that precisely as 2U,UuO landholders have for
years controlled the political atfa rs and des
tiules of EtigUnd, so a few of these untaxed
bouuholders will control the politics and des
tinies of Amencn. They seek and strive to build
up a privileged cists against the masses a class
abounding in wealth, whose bonds are exempt
from taxation, and whose efforts are all for pre
serving them forever untaxed, whilsthey them
selves are protected by every arm of the Gov
ernment, and are supoorted by the labjr and
tbe industry ot the tux paying people of this
country. All the herculean effort?, of which
W8 all see daily evidence, are bsing put forth to
continue radical poc.r at Washington. It
remains for jou to fay whether a policy
shall be perpetuate! which wilt build up a v:isf.
untaxed moneyed powr, which is to bo host lc to
you, aud saner it to take your money while it
putt its foot upon your neck. Tho next ques
tion is this: -That by means of the untaxed
ruocejed power iu tbe North, and the untaxed
negro of the South, they mean to control thi
politics of America. I tell joe, my friends, tha
hammer and anvil are at work. Sue to It that
betweeu the hammer and the anvil the great
work dearest to tbe Anieiicau heart is not
crutlied 1 Tbe hammei' is this great nioucyed
power; the auvil is tbo black ignorance ot the
South. Between tho two, men of America, look
out (or yourselves! Tha iad:cal party have
reduced the nutiouiil cicdit belowthat of almost
every power ol Europe, t he bonds ol this natiou.
with all the resou.ccs of tbe country behind
them, with our at area of land, with our rich
mines, inland lakes, our great rivers, with three
hundred thuusaud emigrants pouring into tho
country annually and adding to our wealth and
productive rower, s.ill, through the operations
of radicalism, our b uds sell lower in tbe
markets than the hands of any power lu Kurope.
Who is lefpouslble lor thli? The party iu
power must be I Oh! but tbey cry. it is the
itebel Democratic party which is reapousible
tor it! What a wonderful party that must be I
Not having control of the Northern States or
the Southern r tates; without having control of
the txecuilve or LejUlotive branch of the
Goveronient; without having had enough
members in tbe liwcr House to prevent the
paBHgeof any bill over the veto of the Presi
dent wnblii one hour after it was returned;
wbfit a tremoLdous party that psrty must be,
which, according to radical Judgment, could
keep doivu the securities of tbe country belo w
those of any country iu tbe world I It is a
ourious kind ot rcuMonlng, men of Philadelphia.
fctifl Pennsvlvatla, which charges ft depreciated
rredit in money and in bond upon the party
out ot power instead of on the party in power.
And is there any man of ordinary intel
ligence who tan be deceived by the
plea put forth by the radicsls that the present
lamentable and disgraceful condition of tho
national credit la to be attributed to the Demo
cratic party out of power instead of attributing
it to the party iu power. T'jey say it is the
result of the Rebellion. You kno, and every
man knows, that six months alter tbo war ended
yes. three months after It ended the national
credit stood h gber than it does today. . Tbe
paper money of the country was worth mora
then than It is now; and the reason why tbe
credit and tho honor of the paper money is so
much depreciated is became the lookers-on
through tbe world who took a calm survey of
American ditllcullles and American atlatrs, sav
that the party intrusted with no wer had. pur
sued and is still purtning a policy that is cal
culated to alienate the people Instead of uniting
them. A policy which is ca'culated to destroy
the resources of the country instead of hus
banding them; ft policy which will diminish
instead of adding lo the value of money; a polioy
which is calculated to make as a brokeu peoole
instead of a united one; aud shall that party ba
perpetuated and tts power prolonged ? Now,
my Iriends, thev claim another thiug. They
clulin that since this war tuey have so managed
the affairs of the couutry as to be able to pav
nearly a quarter of the national debt. Well, if
it were true, they have paid It In greenback,
and yet they have tbe impudence to assert that
ttie Democratic platform means repudiation!
Mr. Atkinson, In his Boston speech the other
night, published in the lending papers of the
couutry in tbe interest of tho oppo-sltiou,
cla'mcd that since the war tney have paid
$800,0110,000 of the debt. They know very well,
if they have, they did not pay It in gold, and if
they have paid it, they did so in greeubacks,
and find fault with the Democratic Dlatlorm.
which makes bonds payable in the currency of
the country, which they claim as a violatiou of
Honor at d a step towards repudiation, hut it
is false. They have not paid half ot tbe national
debt, nor any considerable portion of it. It stands
as high now tbe funded debt as it did to or
three years ago. And when they say they have
been paying the national debt, they meau that
they bave been paying tho current expene of
the Government.
JIEPUBLICANISM.
Kitccclicsor Hon. T. .1. IStirnnt nutl Sena
tor J. IV. I'MttprNwn.
Concert Hall was aeain crowded last evening'
on the occasion of the fourth of the series o
tbe meetings to be held during the campaign
under the auspices ot tbe Union League. An
unutuully large number of ladies were present.
At 8 o'clock Samuel C. Pcrkius, Esq., moved
the meeting come to order, and nominated
Joshua Spenng, Esq., as President. Mr. Spering
then introduced to tbe audience Thomas J.
Durant, Esq , of Louisiana. Ihe speaker was
received wltn considerable applause. He said:
I feel deeply sensible of the kindness of your
friendly greeting to me, a stranger. In the
words of Hauilet: "Beggar that I am, lam even
poor in thsnkv." All that I can do iu the way
of gratitude is to assure you that iu my imper
fect remarks I will say candidly what 1 believe,
and endeavor to express with tL-aruosa the litt.e
1 know. Before an audience to respectable an l
Intelligent as tbe one I now see be ore me, it
would be more than presumption in me could I
suppose that there was anything in the way of
illustration, more perspicuous in statement,
ciilojer and clearer in argument, than those
opinions and thoughts which arise in your
minds upon the great questions ot the day.
Ever keenly alive to the magnitude ot tbe cir
cumstances in whtcb. we are now placed, you
cannot conceive that the present issues ure Ihe
same as I860. They are issues that hive never
been presented lor arbitranceut, either on
the battle-tield or in the more peaceful contest
ot the ballot-box. I cau assure you that there
never was a crisis more important than the oue
in which we are now engaged. Since the
American Government waa lounded there were
never circumstuncis of a higher character
piesented to the attentiou ot the Americtn
people. Tt behooves us to understand and
ara4fc npnn I h n Til nd fl nun lompoi, wllb wliiob
we should approach these issuas. A free people,
Whose ExCcutivois its servant, and whoso legis
lative body are delegates of its power, we are to
approach these issues in no spirit of hatred or
anger whatever not even witu our minus iou
away by gratitude. There -must be no extrac
tion of character in this coutest. We mu-t be
willing to acknowledge that Horatio Seymour
is tpotless in his private life, ai.d that however
much we may deplore tho change in
front of the candidate lor tbe Vice
Presidency of the Democratic party, ws must
acknowledge the services he rendered with
Sherman in his march to the sea. Iu looking
at the declaration of principles as made at Chi
cago, the pa not finds occasion for apprehen
sion, not by what it contains, but by tbe com
ments it Crincs forth. The speaker then said
tiint the condition of thiugs iu tit-; South also
gives rise lor serious apprehension, particularly
in the more Southern r-t ites, For the blues
miin who aided his country to gain his liberty,
aud the white Unionist who stod true to his
Government during the dark days of the Rebel
lion, there is no refuge now. Tbe Democratic
platlorm contains principles which, if carried
out, aud Hie Democrats are pledged o carry them
out, would overthrow the c imruerc?, the manu
factures, and agricultural Interests ot this coun
try, would lend ua into an abyss of ruin, from
which it would ba iraposidble to escape, and
would place our credit und it sources iu
a disastrous condition. He referrei
to what is said lu tho platform about
the payment ot the national Indebtedness
and the taxation of the bonds. These declara
tions are destructive to tbe best interests of
this people. He then read tbe third section in
tbe platform, which declares that the public
debtshauld be paid as rapidly as practicable,
and that iu the lawful money of tbe country,
which means nothing less than the greenback.
He then contrasted tbe section with tbe
coiresponding one in the Republican platform,
which sajs that every form ot repudiation in a
national crime. Tbe national honor require
that tbe public indebtedne.-s should be pud in
the uttermost good faith to every creditor,
whether at home or abroad, not only iu accord
ance with the law, but with the spirit of the
laws under which it wa created. Ha
rejoiced in belonging to a party that appeals
to the honor ot the American people, and
ho felt assured that the appeals would
never be made in vain. It was a debt of
honor which had sent our a-mles luto the held
and saved the couutry. After fully reviewing
the fluHiiciai issues of the day, tte speaker said
all the requirements of honor and coustltutional
law, all tho iequircruents ot the ktatutes of the
country, call upon us 10 defeat the Democratic
party and platlorm, and put it in a position so
low that never can such a party raUe its bead
and pretend to ask lor ihesuilraes ot the people.
It Is lor the Mepubltcan party 10 do this work us
it has done in suppressing the Kebelllon. No
sooner will the Presidential election be settled
than the great thmuelal question will arise for
settlement, ai:d other questions with which they
are intimately connected.
Hon. John W. Patterson, from New Hamp
shire, was then Introduced, aud said that tuo
upproaching election' was tho most m jtno-itous
li'Sue which the people of Pennayivauia bad
been brought to consider, bectuss it i tbe
Tbeirnopylii', Ihe Geltvfcburg ot tuat great
national ctrugcle which to-day is shaking tne
whole natiou irom lis centre lo its clrcuiu r
euce. We come not here to bandy words, or to
criminate or recriminate persou". We htve
issued from the grandest and most lenrlul revo
lution ever known to the whole record of his
tory. It was a revolution lu the interest of
human slamy, absolutism; but by the hero
ism of our people, and the graceofGod.it
resulted in a rcvoluiiou iu the interest of human
liberty. It rested, by the lawa of war, with
thote who couquered in the conflict to expel
this disturbing elvtnent liom tuc body politic;
to reorganize the Southern States iu conformity
with the Constitution, so that henceforth our
industry and social interests might be homoge
neous, and that we might go forward in tbe work
of human programs. The triumph of the Repub
lican party means the protection of capital, tha
prosperity ot labor, aud unbroken, peace.
The triumph of the Democratic parly
uicanB perpetual unrest and violence, the ruin
tf Industry and labot from land's end io land's
end. it means revolution, uoratio ncymour
having originated tbe Idea that the Chief Jus
tice of the land should lead that party In the
contest, plunged him into the slodgn. ot Demo
cracy, contaminated bis long years ot judicial
usefulness, led him into perpetual shame, and
seized the coveted price. He who Is second on
that ticket Is the open and avowed advocate ol
revolution. Taey propose to reopen the revo
lution, to roll bick tho wheels of progress to
their starting point, to establish a modi tied sys
tem of caste ftLd labor. This is their purpose,
and It Is re-echoed through the Southern States
by Democratio orators, whose hands are still
dripping with tbe blood of your children, or
whose hesits are reeking with bate toward this
Government. We propose to place this issue in
the ballot-box. If the Democratic party succeed,
we shall submit: aud if wo succeed, we mean
that they shall submit peaceably tt they will,
but if they force us once more to the arbitrament
of arms, why there are hundred of thousands, of
warriors scattered ever tbe lulls and through
the vallejs who will meet them again on the
slippery edge ol battle. They tell us that they
are the poor man's party. God is the poor
man's party. He is the party of the poor, with
out respect to race or cotsr, and we profess to
be tbe trlcnds of tbe poor man's party witnout
respect to race or color. We have instituted
governments over the Southern Sta.es In tho
Intel eft of the poor nun, and not of the slave
matters, who tor two centuries bave ground
Goo's poor beneath the millstone. Tbe policy
that will advance the interest ot the laboring
classes all over the countiy is the policy which
the Republican party cspou.-es and advocates.
Tun speaker then at lnch contrasted the
policies of Congrees and Prendeut Johnson.
With reference to tbe right of suflrsge having
been granted the negro, he sail this meets with
objection at the bands of the Democracy. They
say be Is ignorant. Who made him so ? Was it
not the slave masters ? Did not tbe negro stand
true when the country was In lis greatest
danger ? They led forth from Anderson
Title and l.ibby by night your prisoners,
and took care of them until they were
brought to tho Union lines, lie then detailed
the various actions in which the 'negroes had

tection of the Constitution, and say that these
loyal negroes shall not vote? He concluded by
saying that under the lead of Grant he knew the
old soldiers would still go forward under him to
victoiy in this battle ot peace, and tho people
who sustained him, who gave their sons to
battle and death, would stand by him in this
great strife. As he was glorious in war so will
be bo victorious in peace. As Napoleon crashed
the Austrian army, so will tho old guard of
Grant charge through the very centre of the

efforts. Capital and labor will go forth and de
