Kept from the public knowledge.
Tho Congressional party has not only
allied to itself the whole military
power, wmcu is to tio brought to
bear directly upon tho election in ma
ny Stabos, but holds itself in perpetual
session with the avowod purpose of
maKing ucn laws as it shall see fit in
viow of the elections which will take
place within a few weeks. It did not,
therefore, adjourn, but took a recess
to moot again if its partisan interests
snan demand its reassembling.
Never before in the history of our
country has Congress thus taken a
ttlunaciiifrattitudo towards itsolocloro.
Under its influence some of the States
organized by its agents aro proposing
to deprive the people of the right to
vote lor residential electors, and tho
first bold steps are tukon to dostroy
the rights of sum-ago. Is it strange
therel ore, that thoughtful men see in
such action the proof that there is
with those who shapo the policy of
the Hi-publican party motivos strong
er and deeper than the mere wish to
hold political power 1 that thoro is a
drca I of some exposure which drives
them on to acts so dosporate and
so impolitic J Many of the ablest lead
ers and journals of the Republican
party have openly deplored the vio
lence of Congressional action, and its
tendency to keep op discord in our
country.
The great interests of our Union
demand peace, order and a roturn to
those industrial pursuits without
which we cannot maintain the faith
or honor of our Government, 'i'lie
minds of business men aro per
plexed by uncertainties; tho hours of
toil of our laborers aro longlhoncd by
the cost of living made by the direct
and indirect exactions of the Govern
ment ; our people are harrassod by tho
heavy and frequent demands of tho
tax eaihorer.
Without distinction of party thoro
is a strong feeling in favor of that
lino of action which shall restore or
der and confidence and shall lift off
tlio burdens which now hinder and
Tot the industry of the country.
l et at this moment those in power
have thrown into the Senate chamber
and Congressional hall a new element
of and violence Men have
been a i ntttoJ as representatives of
some of t he Southern States with the
declaration upon their lips that they
cannot live in the Slates they claim
tto reprcN'nt without military protec
tion. These mou aro to make luws
for the North as well as the South ;
these men, who a few days sinco were
Becking :., suppliants that Congress
would give them power within their
respective States, uro to-day the con
trollers of the actions of those bodies,
entering them with minds filled with
questions and demands that Congress
shall look upon tbo Slates from which
tbey come as in conditions of civil
war; that the majority of their pop.
nlntion, rn liracing their intelligence,
should be lioatod as public enemies ;
that mi.U ry forces bo kept up at the
cost of t!" peoplo of tho North, and
thut there Hhallbo no peace and order
at the Plinth savo that which is mado

maiiiing Southern Status, although
they will have in truth no constat!
cnts. they will have more power in
the Senate than a majority ol the neo
plo of this Union, living in tho lino of
tho great States.
In vain the wisest members of tho
Republican party i rot jsted against tl
policy that led to this result. While the
duels of the late rebellion have sub
milted to tho result of tho war, and
are .now quietly engaged in useful
pursuits for tlio support of themselves
and their families, and are trying by
tho forco of exumplo to leud back tho
people of tho South to the order and
industry not oly essential to their
well-being, but to tho greatness and
prosperity of our community,- we see
that those without ability or influence
have been thrown by tho agitations of
civil convulsion into positions of hon
or and profit, and are striving to keep
alive tho passions to winch they owe
their elevation, and they clamorously
insist that they are the only friends
of our Union, r'rool of that can only
have a sure foundation in fraternal
regard a id a common desiro to pro
mote the peace, tho order and the
hamiiuess of all nortions of our land
invent in Congress since the adjourn
ment of the Convention have vastly
increased the importance of a political
victory by those who are seeking to
bring bacK economy, simplicity and
justice in the administration of our
national a Hairs. Many Jiepublicans
have hcrutotoro clung to their party
who have regretted the extremes of
violence to which it has run. They
have cherished a faith that whilo tho
actioti of their political friends have
been mistaken, their motives bave
been good. They must now see that
the Kepublicun party is in that condi
tion that it cannot carry out a peace-
iui policy, wmuever us motives may
do. ii is a misioriune not only to a
country but to a governing party
itself, when its action is unchecked by
any lorm ot opposition. Jt has boen
tho misfortune of tho Republican par
ty mat tne events ot tue past lew
years have given it so much power
thut it has been ahlo to shuck lo the
Executive, to trammel tho Judiciary,
and carry out the views of the most
unwiso and violent of its members.
When this state of things exists in
any putty it has ever been found that
uie judgment oi us aoiost leaders do
not control. Ihere is hardly an able
man who has helpod to build up the
Republican organization who has not,
within tht past three years, warned
it against excesses; who has not
boon borne down and forced to give
up his convictions of what the inter
ests of tho country call for, or if too
patriotic to do this, who has not been
driven from its ranks. If this has
been the caso heretofore, what will le
its action now with this new infusion of
men who, without a dooent respect
for tho views of those who had just
given them their positions, begin
their legislative career with calls for
arms, with demands that States shall
bj regarded as in a condition of civil
war, and with a declaration that they
are ready and anxious to degrado tho
President of the United States when
ever they can persuade or forco
Congress to bring forward new arti
cles of impenchment.
X tie Republican party as well as wo
aro interested in putting 'somo check
upon this violence it must bo clear
to every thinking man that a divis
ion of political power tends to check
tho violence of parly action, and as-
sures tho peaco and good order of
society. Iho election of a Democrat
ic executive and a majority of Demo
cratic members to tho House of Rep
resentatives .would not give to that
party organization power to make
sudden o.'violent changes.but it would
servo to check thoso extreme meas-
uers which have been deplored by tho
best men of both organisations" Tho
suit would most certainly lend to
that peaceful restoration of tho Union
and ro-rstnhlishmcnt ol fraternal re
lationship which the country desirso.
1 am sure the best men o! the Kepno-
ican party deplore as ajepty as l
do the spirit of violcnco shown by
those recently admitted to Beats in
Congto-s, for the condition of civil
war which they contemplate must be
aMiorrcnt to every right-thinking
man.
I have no mora personal wishes
which misleud my judgment in regard
to tho pending election. No man
who has weighed ami measured the
duties of tho ofllco of President of the
United States, can fail to he impressed
with tho cares and toils of hi in who
is to meet its demands. It Is not
merely to float with popular currents
without a policy or a purpose. On
the contrary, whilo our Constitution
gives just weight to t lie public will, its
distinguishing featuro is that it seeks
to protect tho rights of minorities;
its greatest glory is that it puts re
straints upon power; it gives forco
and form to those maxims ami prin
ciples of civil liberty for which tho
martyrs of freedom have struggled
through ages ; it declares the right
of the people to bo secure in thcirper
soiiB, houses and papers, against un
reasonable searches and seizures ; that
Congress shall make no law resjH'cting
the establishment of religion or the
freo exercise thereof, or abridging
freedom of speech or of the press, or
tho right of tho people to petition
for redress of grievances; it secures
the right of a speedy and publio trial
by an impartial jury.
No man can rightfully enter upon
the duties of the Presidential olHce
unless he is not only willing to carry
out tho wishos of the peoplo cxpros mJ
in a constitutional way, but Is also
prepared to stand up for the rights of
minorities, llo must be ready to un-

wrong personal or home rights, or the
religious coucienco of the humblest
citixen of tho land. He must main
tain wmiout uisunclion 01 creed or
nationality 'all the privileges of
American vitiaonship.
Tho experience of every publio man
who bus boen faithf ul to bis trust.teach-
bim that no onocan do tho duties of
the ofllco of President unless he a
ready not only to undergo the false
hoods and abuse of the bad, but to
suffer from tho censure of tho good
who are mislead by prejudices and
misrepresentations. There are no
attractions in guch positions which
deceive my judgment when I say that
a great change is going on in the
publio mind. The mtum of the "Tio
publican party are more thoughtful
tempered and just than they were
daring the excitement which attended
tho progress and closo of tbo civil
war.
As the energy of tho Democratic
partp springs from their devotion to
thoir cause and to their candidates. I
may with propriety Bpeak to the fact
mat never, in tne political history of
our country, nas tne action of any
ime irony oeen usiieo Willi suclj uni-
orsul and wide spread enthusiasm as
that which has been ehown in relation
to he position of the National Democrat
i'j Convention. Hiththisthocundidate
had nothing to do. Had any others
of those named boen selected, this
spirit would huvo been perhaps more
marked. The real and uneriry of the
conservative masses spring from a
desire to make a change of policy, and
rom tne commence mat they can carrv
out their purposes. In this faith they
are BirenKiiieneu dv tne co-onoration
of the irroat body of those wh.i served
in the Union army and navy during
tho war. Having given nearly six
teen thousand commissions to tho
officers of that army, I know their
viows and wishes. They demand the
union tor wincti tliey fought. The
largest meeting ot those eallunt
soldiers ever assembled was held in
New York, and indorsed tho action
ofihe National Convention. In words
distinct wi.h meaning they called
on the Government to stop in its policy
of hate, discord and disunion, and in
terms or fervid eloquence demanded
tie restoration of tho riirhta of the
American people. Whou there is such
accoid between those who nrovod
themselves brave and solf-sucritieing
in war, and those who are thoughtful
and patriotio in council. I cannot
doubt we shall gain a political tri
umph which will restore our Union,
bring buck penoa and iirusiieritr CO
our land, and givo us once moro the
blessings of a wiso, economical and
honest government.

A few weeks sinco. the Radical Con
gress, in tho plenitudo of its mercies,
nisscd a lull granting pardon and po
itical enfranchisement on an equality
with tho ncirro to twelve hundred
rebels, whoso hands were all rod with
tho blood of Union soldiers, that they
might Bwcor fidelity to the Radical
party, and occupy official positions in
the old North State. We then asked
by what Constitutional authority, tho
act was passed f But no answer came
Irom any Radical lit) or pen. Tho
Constitution had told us that tho par
doning power in such cases was lodg
ed in tho bands of the President.

electors should be disfranchised, it

Uut Congress may, by a voto of

Now, if Concrcss, and not tho Prof-

did not have the power to pardon and
enfranchise those whom tho law had
disfranchised, what becomes of their
butch of twelvo hundred pardons for
"truitors," thut the said "traitors"
might sit in a body elected by the
bayonet, instead of tho ballot of a free
