ter such as is not carried out of it by
niany of tho llttlu adhcrenlH and sup
porters ofdutry who have been running
iho legislative machine for thu last threo
years.
Mr. Pershing Is u man of deep and

Now, gentlemen, mil It bo doubled
that reform is needed lu our State af
fairs; Unit It Is needed lu the Executive)
branch of our Statu government, ami In
tho legislative branch also? Is not
that a general opinion which lias been
growing up lu tho minds of thinking
Minn ninoiiL'it us. and Is It not Justllled
by thu most notoriouti and indisputable
facts i Gentlemen, It Is with great ro-liiL-ttinco
Unit I stand forward, here or
elsewhere, to Impeach tho Integrity of
I lie viovcriinicni uuuer which i live, or
to call to nccotiut those pulille t-orvnnts
who have been entrusted with political
powers for a fiilsn or corrupt c.iurclso of
tho authority with which they liaVo
been endowed. It would bo much moro
agreeable for us lo speak with prido of
our own Stale and of all Its constituted
authorities; It would bo much moro
pleasant for us to say that thu govern
ment oi our malu was pure ami uprigui.
that It was able and wise, that in all
resoects tho neoiilo might expect here
after to enjoy, us they lormerly enjoyed
from Its action, tlio peaceable fruits of
good government nnil or honest rule.
lint mis is not possible, would unit,
wo could ilo as tho sous of Noah did.
When that old navigator, som6what
ONcrcomo by the produco of ins new
vineyard, required, for tho sako of de
cency lhat portions of Ills person should
bu hidden from observation, his sons
took a garment nud went backward and
covered his nnkcdticss,80 that his ehanio
should not bo known. Oh, that wo
could cover tlio shamo or this great Btnto
of ours of threo millions of peoplo from
public notlco and observation, so that
we should not read In all tlio broadcast
newspapers of our country, from ono
end of It to tho other, that corruption is
seated at Harrisburg; that it enters tho
halls of legislation; that It dominates
the Executive; that It carries irom tlio
place where political power is entrusted
to our agents tho shameful results of its
Iniquity nud Its baseness; ami that men
made rich and Infamous at tho samo
timo, stand forward us tlio exponents
of a great party amongst us, and with
brazen eirrontcry ask iho support of tho
honest people ol Pennsylvania for their
cause fififi their men.
hook at tho llerdic act I shall not go
throUL'h tho hlstorvof it tlio Governor
sitting up until the iiour of midnight
waiting lor tho Iniquity to rusli through
tlio two Houses bv falsehood and man
agement, and only prevented from af
fixing Ids signaturo at onco because tho
enrollment could not bo mado in timo ;
and then, when it camo to him next
uay, signing it, nolore no coum oven
show it to hisown Attorney General and
elicit from him an opinion upon its con
stitutional validity, tho authority of the
legislature to enact It, and ueioro any
member In cither Hoiiio of tlio legisla
ture could submit a motion to recon
sider it. And what then '.' When tlio
fraud was exposed and tlio Senate
unanimously passed a bill repealing tho
act, ueary or ins peoplo arrested it in
tho House, nnd it stuck thcro ; it could
not go through that branch, of which
tho Governor Is tho instrument. It re
quired tho interposition oftheiSupremo
uourioi uio state, tho judges oi mat
court took that luminous net. and by
judicial power they tore it to shreds and
stamped upon It. T'liero it lies, despised
of nil men : but nlontf with iU condem
nation goes tho condemnation oi tno
men who passed it, and tho condemna
tiou of the man who siirneil it.
Tn.to thuCovodu election case. There
Is an act of Congress witii regard to the
election of members of Congress requir
ing them to be chosen by single districts,
and then there are laws in tlio several
States regulating tlio manner in which
votes shall bo given, and returns
shall be made. In all cases, how
ever, tlio Governors of tho States arc
selected as tho channels through which
incso returns snail eventually reacn mo
llou-o of Jlepresentatlves at washing,
ion, and by express btauilo it is niaiie
motility oi our uovernor. unon receiv
ing tlioso returns from tho boverai ills
tricts. to issuo a nroclaination nunoutic
iug to thu whole people of tho State the
result of the election. That is tho
authority upon which representatives
so eiiosen aro admitted lo their soais in
tho first instance.
In tlio representative district iu which
General Foster and Mr. Covodo were
candidates, tiio return Judges met, uud
oy iiio returns in tiieir possession nap
peared that General Eoiter Inula majori
ty of tlio votes iu the district. A return
corresponding with this state of facts
was made up, signed by a majority of
tho return Judges, anil transmitted in
accordanco with law to llarrlsburir. A
minority return judge mado up, nt the
instigation it is understood oi Mr.
Covodo, it statement excluding certain
election districts Hi ono of tlio couu
tics from tho return, and thus show
lug an apparent majority for Mr. Co
voile.
Now, what was tho duty of tho Gov
ernor under tlio law. Nobody can
iiucstlon it. It was to accent tlio re
turn of tlio majority of tlioso Judgos, to
Issuo His proclamation accordingly, auu
to confer, bv virtuo of that proceeding.
upon General Koiter tho right to tuku
ins scat Iu Conuross as the apparent or
prima Javia member from tlio district, j
What was uonu ny tno uovcrnorr was
thu law executed V No ; it was openly
violated. Ho Issued a proclamation set
ting fortli that no one, so far tu tho pa
pers beforo him showed, was elected
from the Congressional district in qucs
tlon,and he precipitated upon the HousO
of Itepresoiitative at Washington a dis
puted question under conditions and in
a manner not contemplated by the law,
but in litter violation of its provis
ions. Thero are sundry other subjects that
I might mention ; for instance, the con
version of our ilvo per cent, loans Into
six per cent., by which tlio rato of in
terest was Increased ono per cent, upon
a largo portion of our public debt. That
subject demands debate. It demands
from tho administration which Is res
ponslbleforit.n statement of the grounds
upon which it was proposed ami imposed
upon the people.
There Is another question which re
quires attention the expenditures of
our Statu government. They havu been
Increased sovcral times over what they
were In former yoars not very rouioto
from our present times, aud theio is
eooil reason why tho peoplo in nil nails
ofourCominonweAltli should demand of
their Stato government it retrenchment
of tlio public expenditures; now that
war lias long ceased, that wo should re
turn again to thu rates of expenditure
which prevailed before the war, that is,
tiiat In times of peaco our rates of ex
penditure should bu peaco rates Instead
ol war rates.
There is still another important dues-
tlou worthy of consideration, mid that
is. t no nianaL'eme niaiui usooi tno nuu-
lie funds of tlio State. In order to meet
tlio Interest upon our public indebted
noss, It la necessary to ralso every year
n vast sum by public taxntlon; Ills nco
essary to ttso all the means and sourcm
ol ruvenue open lo inu puuuu iiiiiuuri-
lies to llieir inmost capacity, nut ncnu-Ini-
their aiiiillcation to tho ordinary
demnullsnf publln outlay, including the

Statu Treasurer, and very largo sums or
money aro tuns constantly in nts nanus,

understood that theso funds nro made
the hu b ect of nr vato nro It. that they
nro dcnoslted iusiich institutions mid in
such manner as to yield a rewartl to

and it is alleged thut from this sourcu

matters of ereat nubile iiiinortauco. 1
speak hero to imputations that I do not
create, nut which aro nroaucosi, eon
stantlv talked about throiiL'hnut miu
Commonwealth at this moment by lu
tulllgent men of both political parties.
Now, what Is wanted In tlio way of
reform? You want i punned logisia
1869.
COL.
tutu, nnd you require an euetgetlo and
wise E.vf!Ciillve,also, by whom tho laws
shall be itdmllilslereil and llnv-e aliusiM,
assuming their existence, shall bo cor
rected, Then tlio regular and healthful
action of government under normal
conditions may bo resumed.
Now, gentlemen, lu addition to tho
specific points which I have mentioned
I call your attention again to tho gener
al consideration that bad laws, Improp
er laws, are enacted in your legislature
nnd obtain placo upon tho stattito book
of tho Commonwealth. Hosv can you
reform Unit capital ovll, or, oven if you
could suppose that it did not exist, how
can you correct tlio common belief of It
which is itsclfu great mlschicr nnd tends
to tno degradation or government and to
tho lowering of tho timo of morals both
In publicum! private life'.' llowcnn you
correct that as well us condemn the oth
er things, evil in existence- nud ovll in
omen, to which I liavo referred? Ono
most important moans of reaching re
form, 1 repeat, is to placo n new man at
tho head of yourStato Bovernmcnt,who
has no past connection wifli theso abus
es: who bus no association with tho men
who have committed them; who will
owe no obligation lu tho future binding
upon hit! judgment or sympathies In fa
vor oi mo men ivno are liueiy lo com
mit them hereafter. Tho remedy is to
select such a man a Judiro Packer fot
Governor anplattso, striking thus nr
mo main point wnero relorm can bo in
troduced. It may bo said iu reply to sumo of thu
suggestions which I have made that tlio
Governor of tho Commonwealth is not
nrlmarilvresiions b ufor what iswrone-
ami objectionable iu past years. Why
not? it may bo said that ho is not sole
ly responsible, that other men aro to
blame also : but this is a sort of respon
sibility which is not to bo decreased In
mo least on any ono individual by its
being shown that It is common to him
and to others, lly tho Constitution of
our Stato it is nrovided that anv bill or
Joint resolution passed by tho two hous
es oi tno ijegisiaturo snail bo prcsenied
to tlio Governor; lfho shall approvo it,
liosliallsigii it, wlicreupon it shall bo
comoalaw; lfho shall disapprove it,
lie shall return it to tho house in which
It originated with his objections, antl
then only iu case it shall bo repassed by
n two-thirds vote in eacli houso of tho
Ijcgislaturo shall it havo tho forco of a
law. Therefore you pcrceivo that by
ono of the provisions of our Constitu
tion tno uovernor has what is equiva
lent to a negative upon all public meas
ures designed lo havo tho forco of laws,
unless two-thirds -of each house shall
agree to them. This is well known; it
is a matter of common knowledge.
Now, which ono of these measures or
evil to which 1 have referred has the
present Governor of our Commonwealth
vetoed V On whicli ouu of tlieni has he
exercised tills power? Not one. Which
ono of theso abuses has ho denounced
by message to tho two Houses of the
legislature, for ho is bound to com muni-
cato to those houses from timo to timo
his views upon ntiblic nfiairs. and to re
commend to them such measures ns hu
may think necessary ? Which ono of
tiicni nits no made me subject oi an e.x
ccuttvo communication to either Housu
of tlio Legislature? Not one. Therefore,
in a ncculiur tense, because he lias neg
lected tho exercisoof constitutional pow
ers which tiro clearly vented in him, is
no responslDlo ror tho whole body and
mass of evil to which I havo alluded;
and It will bo impossible, by any just
coiir.se or reasoning, to relievo mm irom
that responsibility with its consequent
odium. It rests upon him; it belongs
tohim: and if n. lust Judgment bo pro
nounced by tho peoplo ol this State, ho
will therefor bo condemned, and anoth
er man, with apparently a ill tier cut
cnnracier nun wim tiiuercnt oojecis,
witli a vigorous will and an integrity
which is invincible, will bo put in his
place. Thus only can you expect that
our Statu nlKtlrs will lie put once more
upon that foundation of honor, bright
with promise of prosperity, which ob
tained for us and for our fathers lu for
mer limes.
Now, gentlemen, ono tiling seoniB
very manifest to any retisonnblo observ
er who has studied tho course of politi
cal affairs in our governments, whether
Stato or National, and that is, that it is
necessary that political power should bo
divldid between parties or interests iu
this country. It is only by reason of di
vision, or ono interest or or ono party
cliccKing another, Keeping watcn upon
it, putting it upon its good behavior,
Unit wo may expect that l-ooi! uud sue-
ccssrul government will obtain and bo
continued amongst us. this is tho ex
eriencuof all free countries. Althutigh
wu sometimes deprecatu tho existence
or parties among us, regret that our treo
populations uru divined lino nostiiu or
ganizations, irwu will tako wise obser
vation ol tlio past aud consider rigntiy
the constitution ot human nature itself,
wo will seo that tills condition or tilings
is inseparable from free government
and must exist wherever it obtains.
Even under monarchical institutions
whore freedom has grown up and has
become strong, the prldo ol tno nation
and its guarautcu oi future power, as iu
Greatllritain,you seotlio pcoplcdividcd
into two opposite parties contending
against each oilier, precisely as wo seo
iu lieu America our political parties
contend against each other; and there,
and here, aud everywhere tiio truth
stands manifested that there must bo
this system of check and counter-check,
of action and reaction by parlies and
interests upon each other; for If this
statu of things shall not exist, one of
two other stales niusl olllier mo com
munity must rail into a condition of
stagnation and decay, tho nation must
decliuu lu prosperity and power, or tho
nuu oi a master must ou ucccpicu.
If you will not havo parties among
you, acting and reacting upon each oth
er, then you must accept national de
cline, oryou must chaiigo your form of
government in snnstani-e anil in nici,
and accept the Imperial prinelple,whlch
1 believe is uiouglit now ny soiuo lew
men lu this country to ho n panacea for
nil our political evils. I understand
they havo established a newspaper to
advocate their views, und perhaps In
thu course ol time, II tho Uopulilicun
party shall continue in unchecked pow
er, mat doctrino may heeonio popular:
at leastthoiiiiniberof its adherents will
doubtless very largely Increase.
Now. in tliisStatoifoverumenl of ours
there is n Itadlcal malorlty iu thu House
or Itepresenlatlves, made so by thu ap
portionment inn, i-i-riaiii agiiiiisi oven it
popular majority tho other way in the
Statu iinderordiuary eJrcumstances,aud
a majority nlsoln thoKcnuto. Thu saino
parly hold tno executivo iiulhorlty ol
thu government, uud now, by thu ap
pointment orJudgu Williams, n major
ity upon tlio bench of thu Sunremu
Court; so that there Is no balance of
power buiwceu parties Hi our govern
ment, no check by one upon tho other
antl wu cannot doubt that the present
condition ofevil lu our Statu ulfalrs res
ults mainly from this cause.
Now, what is the course for cinserva
tlvu men -1 use thu term, although It is
sumetlinesderlded men who desire to
conserve and pntervo our system of
government in its full t'urcu uud vigor,
lo pursue '.' It Is by their votes at this
election to divido power iu our Statu
government, to place u Governor In Iho
executivo chair who will bo a check up
on tiiu legislature, us tho legislature will
bu a check upon iilm. Will you not get
Improvement ami reform in this
way? My appeal is, therefore, to men
beyond the bounds of our own party,

It . linn already been mado evident lo
us that certain objections and cavils
will bo mado against our enndidnto for
Governor. 1 havo a Tew of them lu it
paper lying beforo me.tho Mawh Chunk
lluzetlc. in tlio following charge It
quotes .from tho Weaver Jtatlicult
"When our nruiles wore defeated, nnd
our eadnidnto was bearing tho smarts
ordcreat and wounds with soldierly
fortitude, Packer was keenly watching
tho fluctuations or the stock exchange,
and buying in shares which our defeats
depressed. When victory rested on our
banners and Geary was bleeding on tlio
victorious Hold over tho body of his
dead soldier son, Packer was adding to
his hoard by sales or stocks which tho
wounds of our heroes had mused to ad
vance In value. Ho traded In patriot!"
blood, and tho patriots In whoso blood
ho trailed will never support his muni
tion, nor accept Ids blood-money."
That Is tolerably strong to bo quoted
in n iianvr conuucicu uv reiiL'ious iren-

specimen of tlio malignity which wo
iiiuy u.cct in tins canvass against a
most unexceptionable candidnto. In
tho llrst place, tho wholo chargo is un
true as a distinct averment, nf met.
Judgo Packer has nover been a specula
tor lu Wall street, or in Third street, or
iu any other street In our own or in any
other country. Ho did not dubblo lu
government stocks lu tho maimer sug
gested at any time or under any circum
stances. Tlio charge is as foreign to tlio
domain of fact as the mind of the writer
Is foreign totliodomaln ofgeiitlenieuor

About tlio timo of Vicksburir and
Gettysburg lie was not watching tho
siock marKei lo speculate, l win loll
you ono thing In which ho was engaged
about that time, becauso tho record Is
unuountcd. .ews catno to mo region
along the Lehigh river as it camo to
other parts orour country that Pensyl-
vama wits luvtuiod; nrsi mat our bor
ders were threatened, and afterward
that our territory was actually invaded.
A meeting was called at MatieJi Chunk,
iu tho court house. Sundry gentlemen
made speeches, very eloiiuent of course.
and exhorted (heir neighbors to enlist
uud to assist others in doing so. There
was no want of rhetoric; it Mowed In
abundance; thenudiuncu was fully sup
plied wiiu n; nut unioriimaieiy no
practical etl'cct was produced. Every
body thought It was an excellent thing
to repel invasion, to whip tlio enemy
and protect our own Statu, and that it
was u work of patriotism most laudable
lo contribute money or to volunteer;
but nothing was done; the enterprise
wim reierenco to which iiio meeting
lind been called languished. Then it
was, geutlemen, that our candidate for
Governor rose in tlio crowd nnd Bald :
I hear very much said ou this sub iK:t
of raising volunteers for the defense of
our stale, and various modes of doing
It suggested. Now,l havo ono tiling to
propose, and it is tills: any of the em
ployees oi ino liCiugu vauey road who
will go into tho public servico shall con
tinue to receive their pay at homo and
their places snail no Kept ior mom un-
iii mey return." i Applause. j Tiiai
started tho movement; thu ilro broke
out; and about one hundred men were
raised in tlio small town or Mauch
Chunk nnd Its Immediate vicinity with
in twenty-four hours, and wore upuodl
iy on their way to thu placo of conflict.
Applause When tho news of what
was clone) at Mauch Chunk went over
tho wires to tlio neighboring towns
above and below, it fired up tho whole
valley and contributed to prompt action
in all its towns. A little vigorous, tiino
jy acllon from a man of action is some
times bettor than a great ileal said by a
man or words.
That was tho way iu which ourcandi
dato for Governor was employed at
Mauch Chunk about the time or Vicks
burg and Gettysburg. Ho was not in
Wall btreot or anywhere else, speculat
ing upon tho necessities of impoverish
ed debtors, nor attempting to accumu
late, by Illicit or doubtful practices, his
worldly estate IIo was performing bis
duty ut ids own homu, and with an ef
fect which no other mau in tho Lehigh
Valley could havo produced.
In thisarticlu which 1 havo read ho is
accused of investing money in bonds
and lu public securities, and speculating
upon them. A contradictory assertion
has been mado elsewhere, and that is,
that lie does not hold government bonds
at all, and has not held them. Now,
gentlemen, i win givo you a good rea
son for this fact (if it bo one) which, iu
thu laiiuru oi oilier objections, has been
brought forward. Judgo Packer has
had ids means Invested lu improvements
carried on and extended by him through
a lung series oi years, and it was not
convenient, it was not possible for him,
without, sacriilcing great interests (not
Ids own merely but thoso of others al
so) to withdraw thoso Investments aud
put them into tho form of public
bonds or any other sort of bonds foreign
to ids own undertakings. When others
were doubtful of tho future of thu Lu
high valloy and or the railroad enter
prise which had been projected there,
lie being more hopeful and sagacious
than other men, came forward himself
and undertook Its completion. Through
yoars of labor and of effort and ofsacrl
llco ho carried forward tlio work of tho
construction or thut great road, and
years afterwards, when prosperity camo
to iilm (and along with it prosperity to
I lie peoplo of lhat section) anil his prop
erty and means were largely Increased,
what could any ono say but that hero
was a just reward of perseverance and
fortitude and hopefulness under all ills
enuragemcnts and against all obstacles ;
uiui nero wits it just return ior public
spirited conduct; a just reward of high
ability properly employed for public In
connection with prlvato Interests.
During tlio war what was tlio effect of
His Hiicivss? That road carried cheaper
eoal to Philadelphia and lo New York
to supply thu immensu demands of tho
goveiumeiii ; it curried inner uriiciesoi
suniilv and of necessity to tlio govern
mem at t u oso pomes; it iraiispiirieu
volunteers and conscripts on their way
to ho organized into companies unit bat
talions for the purposes of tho war: mid
lu many other ways it contributed lo
thu public can so to an extent nud to u
degree which au investment oi money
eiiual to tho capital of that road In pub
lic slocks could not have effected, and
could hardly havu lie 'iin to effect.
Then, subsequently, what Inn been
dono? That great Improvement was ex
tended Into tlio Wyoming Valley; and
more recently, a still further and ail Im
portant extension of it has been carried
on towards central and western New
York by tlio valley iff tho North llraucli;
and that, 1 believe, is to bo brought in
to use within n row weeks of thu pre
cut Hum. Then ttgnlii, similar improve
ments have been extended in this
direction, Into thu upper part of Kchuyl

A single topic more, gentlemen, nun
I bluill leave you. Tho same paper ly
ing bcroro mo contains unoiner para
graph which 1 protest to you is thu last
ono I shall read. Speaking of the Le
high University, It says:
"As a charity It lacked that broad
and humanitarian bcopo which charac
terized tlio princely muniilcenco or Gi
rard, anil has mado tho names or Pea
body and Cornell imperishable. The
Episcopalians should thank him for a
great favor dono their denomination,
and undoubtedly they do."
Hero aro two points : llrst, lo create
prejudico with all other religious socie
ties except tho Episcopalian upon tho
ground that that great institution is a
sectarian one. That is not true. It is
open to tlio admission of pupils of all
sects, of all descriptions in our commu
nity. It is open lo tlio whole world. It
is not sectarian In that sense, although
It Is, for legal purposes of management
and for perpetual succession, connected
somowhat witli tho church of which tlio
founder is u member. Tho other sug
gestion Is that this is not a charity such
as that which has proceeded from other
men mentioned, whoso names are dis
tinguished at homo und abroad. Let
mo niako you a brief statemcn, before I
speak directly to this point.
In tlio year 17-1) a medical hospital
