; The meeting was called to order by Mr. McCam
mon, of tho firm of Bucknor, McCammon & Co.
This gentleman called to tho chair Mr. George II.
Stur.i t, who, on taking the chair, made a short but
Very stirring address.
Mr. Stuart reviewed bis own experienco as Presi
dent of tbo Christian Commission, in its duties in
tho army, and declared his conviction that the
Lope of tho country now rested in the plain com
mon sense and signal executive ability of General
Grant, and in the wise administrative talent of
Schuyler Colfax.
Mr. E. Harper Jeffries, President of tho Phila
delphia Chamber, made an address, as follows:
Merchants, Manufacturers and Mechanics of
Philadelphia: In view of tho present political and
financial position of our country, it is important
that, as business men, we.should assemble together
to discuss the great and momentous questions and
issues of the ensuing Presidential campaign. Ob
serve, if you please, the course and the language of
tho leading Democrats; look at the platform and
the candidates of their party, and you will be con
vinced Unit their object Is to prepare the way for
Blair, Seymour and Hampton's new rebellion, to
overthrow the reconstruction policy of Congress,
and to shake the popular contideuee in the national
credit, thus establishing national dishonor, des
troying the financial character of the govern
ment, prejudicing its credit at home and abroad.
The nation's credit is the nation's capital. The
national debt is a debt of honor. And the time
will come in this country, with all its resources,
w ith all its vast public domain, with all the mer
cantile and maritime power which it possesses,
and with its ability to raise millions of revenue,
when our debt, large as it is, will gradually molt
away under this genial ray of prosperity. We have
had enough of omens and gloomy predictions. We
bave baa enough, God knows, of bloodshed, car
nage, pillage, and desolation. We want no more.
Blair pledges war; Grant pledges peace. And I
honestly believe that upon tho election of General
Grant tho peace, happiness and prosperity of the
country wholly depends; and it is for the business
men 01 our land to present a bold, undivided front,
and deal a death blow to repudiation and treason.
The spirits of your lamented heroes call aloud to
vou from their graves to rebuke the language and
the deeds of Seymour, Forrest, 'Toombs, Jilair, and
their machinations to disrupt and distract, and
even to destroy, the government of this country.
'The wounded and maimed, the defenceless ami
beart-broken widow, the poor helpless orphan, the
aged childless father, the friendless sister all, all,
conjure you to be faithful to your trusts and avenge
their wrongs.
1 will not believe you can hear their cries aud
heetl them not. I will not believe that this, the
great manufacturing city of tho republic, will
Irove recreant in this hour of great national peril,
will not believe that my native city, with all Its
past enviable glories, and its glorious record in the
days of the revolution, as well as in the late rebel
lion, has reached the time when she is willing to
bow her bead to men who controlled tho New York
Democratic Convention, and then returned to their
native south to arouse their people to violence and
bloodshed. If we do, we submit to a subjugation
more humiliating and enslaving than the ancient
Britons received at the hands of the conqueror.
There is no course lor men who value peaco, sta
bility and security to persons and property, except
to vote for Grant and Colfax. "Let us nave peace,"
then, and by doing good works let us maintain it.
that the blessings of Heaven may again be showered
down upon our. beloved country. With these few
desultory remarks 1 will now proceed to read the
resolutions and move their adoption by you, follow
Citizens, here assembled.
"Whereas, the people of Pennsylvania are again
called by the laws of the country to choose their
representatives in Congress and their electors for
President and Vice President of the United States.
At no period of our history have these elections in
volved principles and resultsof so much importance
to tbe public welfare. Two political parties have
nominated their candidates and placed them upon
platforms on which they must stand or fall. The
one proposes peace, founded on union, liberty and
justice; tho other proposes to nullify tbe acts of
Congrebs, overthrow State governments by force,
and revive the issues of the recent rebellion, once
settled by the armies of the Republic,. The one
proposes fidelity to all the contracts of the national
government and tho honest payment of its debts;
the other raises the black flag of repudiation. The
one has adopted a system which casts the burden of
taxation chiefly upon luxuries, and upon a class of
citizens who are able to bear it; the other proposes
to overthrow that system, and demands the taxation
of every species of property, including all the ne
cessaries oi life. The one favors the resumption of
specie payments at the earliest practicable period;
the other proposes to postpone it Indefinitely by
flooding tho country with a paper currency that
can never be redeemed in coin. The one has nomi
nated as its candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the I'uited States illustrious men, of
undoubted patriotism and purity of character,
while tho other lias exhumed its chief candidate
from tbe ruins of the rebellion, and chosen its se
cond from the highest school of corrupt and vicious
politicians.
"In view of these facts, tho manufacturers,
' mechanics and merchants of the city of Philadel
phia, now assembled in mass meeting, do hereby
adopt the following resolutions:
"First. That we are in favor of a permanent
peace all loyal citizens desire its blessings; all the
business relations of the country require it, and
liberty, justice and mercy demand it.
"Second. That we are opposed to repudiation In
every form; that all public as well as private con
tracts should be sacredly observed ami carried out
aecrding to their true intent and meaning; that all
attempts to escape from them on mere technical
grounds are dishonorable, if not criminal; and we
recard the proposition that the national debt, con
tracted for the preservation of the government,
should be paid in paper, aud not according to the
spirit of the contract, as one which cannot bo
seriously entertained by an intelligent and virtuous
people.
"Third. That tbe principle adopted by Congress,
which places the burden of taxation chiefly on lux
uries and upon that class of citizens who are best
able to bear it, is wise, beneficent and just; and we
are opposed to the system demanded by the Mew
York Convention of politicians, of taxing every
species of property alike a system which would
not only be oppressive to the poor, by imposing
taxes ujion bread, meat and other necessaries of
life, but would call for a standing army of assessors
and tax-gatherem, to harass tho people and eat out
their substance.
"Fourth. That tho organization of civil govern
ments under the Reconstruction acts of Congress
in eight of the southern States must be regarded as
a tinalitv, and must be sustained; and the political
party which now seeks to overthrow those govern
ments, and renew the anarchy and strife and blood
shed which have so long distracted and Interrupted
the business and prosperity of the country, can
have no claim on the contideuee, the respect or
sympathy, of business men,
"Filth. That no peace can be permanent in tbe
Vnited States which is not founded on union,
liberty, and the eternal principle of Justice to all
men. This Is the peace we demand; and in order
to secure it, and to preserve tho nuiionul credit and
promote the general welfare, wo pledge ourselves
to use cveiy honest Influence ami endeavor to so
curo the sucrefsof the Republican candidates to
bo voted for in October, ami tho election of Grant
and Colfax to the Presidency and Vice Presidency
of the 1'nlted States."
Hon. A. G. Cattell, the orator of the evening, who
was very loudly called for, mado a splendid and en
thusiastic address. At Its conclusion Mr. John
Price Wctherill, being vociferously called for, made
his reluctant appearance. He said:
It Is not usual for the merchants of the city of
Philadelphia to assemble as at this time, anil to
declare their preferences either for tho platform of
any party or for the candidates representing any
party. Hut the issues presented to the people
In tho present canvass are of such a magnitude:
Issues materially allecting tho mercantile anil
manufacturing interests, vital not only to their
present success, but upon which their future
growth and greatness depends, that wo have
met hero to-night, calmly and prudently to con
sider the great question now agitating tno public
mind, to learn tho exact bearing the principles of
cither party will have In the future, to show tho
defects of one and the merits of the other, and to
decide which we conceive to bo for tho prosperity
of the nation, and which will bring us to a peaceful
settlement of our political difficulties. I deem It,
theref ore, unnecessary for me, to sueh an audience
as this, to say a word in reference to tho character
of General Grant. His name Is a household word,
hebl In gratef ul remembrance by tbo people of this
land. His lite forms a partof'tho record of our
country's history. He has been tried and not found
wanting. Pledged to support our principles, and
they true In every line and feature, the people will
triumphantly Indorse, both him and them.
The main features of our platform, those which
most Interest us, those which are in direct variance
witli Democratic doctrines, are, first, unconditional
support of the reconstruction laws of Congress, and
second, an unqualified approval of the payment of
the government debt, principal and Interest, in
coin. We sustain Congress in reference to recon
struction for this reason: Eleven loyal State govern
ments, at tho outset of tho rebellion, were over
turned by tho rebels; the rebel State governments
were overturned by our armies; therefore at the
end of the war in tboso States no government of
any kind existed. The Constitution provides that
the Vnited States shall guarantee to each State a
republican form of government, and Congress,
therefore, framed the reconstruction acts. A State
could not be reconstructed outof adisloyal element,
else the war was but a mockery; tlic precious lives
of 300,000 bravo men and the expenditure of 2,500,
000,000 of no avail. To tho loyal element, and to It
alone, was Congress forced to look, and by It socur
a permanent peace; and that element was com
posed to a great extent of the negro raco. This the
rebels did not like, and the Democrats, who all
along wanted to prove the war a failure, of course
violently oppose it. Congress acted wisely, and the
people approved and indorsed their acts at the bal
lot box. ISlair would set aside all these laws, make
traitors tako front instead of back scats, and revo
lution instead of peace would be the result. We are
against him and for reconstruction.
Let us look for a moment at the, repudiation
plank of the Democratic platform. 'They assert
the doctrine cunningly devised the same pay for
the bloated bondholder and the poor mechanic. By
this they mean greenbacks for all. This is simply
a bait to catch votes; nothing else. I stand here
to-night to defend the dignity of labor. I know its
value; I know its power. I know by it in a little
while this wasted land of ours can be made to again
flourish: for when wo recollect the farmers of our
land will this year harvest one thousand millions of
bushels of corn and two hundred millions of bushels
of wheat, and that these two items alone in value
will equal more than one half of our entire debt,
need I say more to prove the importance of labor
to our success and to our prosperity. The two great
interests of this country, agriculture and manufac
tures, are the basis of our prosperity; without them
commerce would ceaso to exist. As In Individuals
so in governments all substantial results are the
fruits of labor, and without that clement our coun
try would soon languish and decay.
Some time ago I read an account of a curious pic
ture; it consisted of four portraits, one of a king,
and underneath was written "I govern all;" the
second a bishop, with the motto, "I pray for all;"
the third a soldier; his motto was, "I fight for ail;"
the last a laborer, and his was, "i pay for all." No
one can deny that labor does pav tor all, and the
desire of the Democratic party is to secure lor it
self this important element by endeavoring to use
a fallacy fatal to the interest of any country; that is
to arraign capital against labor. But tbe device is
too transparent, the motive too open, and the fraud
too palpable.
Tbe workingmen of this land are not the shift
less, improvident set of men the copperheads sup
posed them to be. They well know that capital is
essential to their well doing. They know that labor
and capital should harmoniously work together
supply and demand regulating both and, should
the stronger power endeavor to take advantage of
the weaker, the latter arises in its might, asserts
its rights, and soon secures equal justice. As an
example of this, in a neighboring county, a short
time ago, capital to the amount of one hundred
millions trembled at tho onslaught of poorly re
munerated labor.
Would we prosper as a nation, then let capital
and labor go band in-hand together, thus de
veloping our resources, and thus making us fore
most among the nations of the earth. But a while
ago tho Democracy were the bard currency party,
and to suit their purposes they change their trout
and recommend tho government presses to again
issue printed promises to pay, to compel creditors
to take for a loan (for which, when the government
was in trouble, it promised to pay interest and
principal in gold) another promise which from its
face is always due, yet never paid, and draws no
interest, thus flooding our country, already abun
dantly supplied, with more greenbacks, putting off
indefinitely the day of specie payments, advancing
the cost of the necessaries of life, aud making us a
bye word and reproach among tho nations of the
earth. Our desire is not to pay the bondholder in
greenbacks, but to pay the laborer in gold; this
should be the nation's aim; this should be the na
tion's high resolve.
Let us, as speedily as possible, pav off every
creditor in tho world s legal tender, ami not in that
which stern necessity, in a time of trouble and dis
tress, compelled our treasury to issue. Strict econ
omy and prudent management will in time bring
about this desirable result. Evory one, therefore,
high or low, rich or poor, should frown down the
ellorts of any party that endeavors to arraign capi
tal against labor. Again, how much is the labor
element of this country interested in our govern
ment loan? When the Democratic party supposed
that the rich men of the laud held the bulk of it.
they failed in their arithmetic. While they imagined
tlity were catering to what they believed to be the
laborer's wish, they found, to their surprise, that
they were touching the laborer's pocket. Jay
Cooke reports that out of three million subscri
bers to the national loans, nine-tenths are of
the class called "the people." The mechanic
and the laborer, frugal and prudent, gave to
their country their surplus earnings, and to-day
that class hold, either directly or indirectly, through
saving funds and other like associations, nearly oue
tliird of the national debt. In view, therefore, of
the great blunder made by the Democratic party,
and the full knowledge tho workingmen have of the
object that party desired to accomplish, truly may
Seymour exclaim, "You have plunged me in a sea
of trouble." Yes, and the waves thereof will rise
higher and higher, until he aud those around him
will be so effectually cugulphed that hereafter loyal
men will have no fear of smooth-lipped traitors,
whose platform, if carried out, would lead to
anarchy and revolution.
Though our debt is large, bath principal and in
terest, in strict accordance with the contract, in its
spirit as well as in its letter, must be fairly and
honestly met. I appeal, therefore, to-night, to the
tax-payers of every class and condition to sustain
by every effort In their power so holy a principle as
this. Individually, it is not so heavy a burden.
Our bonded debt is two thousand millions. Our
population, In round numbers, forty millions; each
individual share would, therefore, be but titty dol
lars, its yearly interest but three dollars, the work
to be given to meet It but a day. Who w . ild com
idain for an amount so small as this? Who would
not do this much when our country has done so
much lor usr
The demand for exertion on the part of each and
all of us this fall is urgent; and if the Democratic
party should succeed, and anarchy and confusion
follow, through our neglect, all will regret the loss
of these precious hours if permitted to pass by un
improved. But we have the cheering satisfaction
to know that the people are at work. The peoplo
perceive the coming danger. The people are equal
to the cmi rgency, and, in the language of a dis
tinguished Democrat, who was forced to this con
clusion, I say, "The signs of the times are unmis
takable; the name of Grant Is irresistible, and be
will sweep everything before bim."
This closed the proceedings, and the vast gather
ing, as fast as It could obtain egress, adjourned.

These ports bave a foreign commerce of $9oo.0oo,0u0
and an enormous domestic trade, besides which we
bave the Immense Internal commerce of the E-npire,
radiating from these points, through Its canals and

Tbe cable being laid, this company propose erecting
land llnek and establishing a speedy and trustworthy
means of communication, which must command
there, as everywhere else, the communication! of (he
Government, oi business, and of social life, especially
In China. Bbe has no postal syBtem, and ber only
means now of communicating information la by
courier on land, and by steamers on water,
Tbe WeslernWorld knows thai China Is a very
largeceuntry.lnthemaln densely peopled; bat tew
yet realize that she contains more than a third of the
bum an race. 1 be latest returns made to her central
authorities for taxing purposes, by tbe local magis
trates, make ber population Four Hundred and Four
teen Million; and this is more likely to be nnder than
over the actual aggregate. Nearly all of these who
are over ten years old not only can, but do read and
write. Her civilization la peculiar, but her literature
Is as extensive as that of Europe. China Is a land of
teaoheis and traders; and tbe latter are exceedingly
qolok to avail tlemselves of every proffered facility
for procuring early information. It Is observed In
California that the Chinese make great use or tbe
telegraph, though It there transmits messages In En
glish alone. To-day, great numbers of fleet steamers
are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them
exclusively for tbe transmission of early Intelligence,
If the telegraph wepropose, connecting all their great
seaports, wexe now In existence. It la believed that
Its business would pay its cost within the first two
years of Us successful operation, and would steadily
Increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as In a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
people. It is of vast national importance commer
