I know that many of our liepuhliccn
friends are ashamed of it, and many
of them intend to wash their hands of
this gross deception. But this was
not all. About tho beginning of the
year 1S0G, some evil spirit instigated
that Congress that had been pledged
to a war for the Union to discover
that tho Union had actually been
dissolved. That tho leading rebels

I shall not deal at length wilh lho

it should be permitted to rest. If any

but it is scarcely decent, much less
consistent in them, to reject it for on the increase. Tho evils of oppres

in tho South.
There is one phase of this question,
however, which I would not have es
cape your attention. That is, that tho
influence ot negro rule is not confined
to the South ulono. So far from it, it
is intended that tho negroes sbnll select
a President at tho coming election.
They can also elec t members of Con
gress. Kilty thousand negroes in Flor
ida, through their legislaiuro, can elect
two Senators, and that is all TW.UOU
w hite electors can do in Pennsylvania,
or Jo'O.'MiO in New York. Kight hun-
drcd thousand ncRrocs in tho South, coffee, lit also pays on sugar and
under the auspices of tho negro bu- cloths and other article, of constiinp
reaus, can select twenty Senators in lion. Tho laborer and mechanic, not
Congress, thereby ilucing tbonisclvc. I Uxp.j-er. ! I Why, gentlemen, if the
npon an cqunlity with ten of the larg-1 indirect taxes wore called for by a tax-
est Mates of tho JSorth, containing
2O,0U0,(i(". of a white population. For
myself, though moderate in my views,
I must protest against so much negro.
I never thought negro suffrago a good
panacea (or political diseases; but if
the .iconic of an v State choose to enjoy
ii, let them do so, for it i. the right of
each State to decide the question lor
itself, and tho right (if no other power
on tho face of lho earth. Put I do
object to a congressional usurpation
that makes ono negro voter equal to
five or six whito ones, and I say fur
ther, thut thoso who go this length,
for tho negro, will soon find them
selves tho advocate, of equality bo
tween tho whites and blacks, political,
social and domestic.
The President, to his honor bo it
said, resisted tho usurpations, frauds
and deceptions of which I have spo
ken, and thereby drew upon himscll
and bis high functions, tlio full loreo
of ltadical fury. The struggle that
has followed between Congress and
the F.xf-eutivc has shaken the Govern
ment to ils very foundations. Tho
frightful strides made by the lormcr
in the way of usurping tho functions
of tho latter, must excilo tho deepest
alarm in the mind of every lover of

in France to about S.3 and in Prussia
to $1-. The recollection of the final
payment of the old public debt, bv
General Jackson, is fresh in my mind,
and the debt wherr I left the Senate,
in lHlil, was a mere bagattlle not
enough lo make pocket money for
this spendthrift of a Congress, and
now it counts ? j.tihi.uihi.ihiu, and, ac
cording to Secretary McCullough, is

Orator, aro assiduous in their effort, i
to make tho laborers, operative, and
mechanics bo'icve that llicy pay none
of the taxes because they have litllo
property on which to assess thorn.
This i. a silly and transparent decep
tion. I heso are the very men who
pa v taxes, and onerous taxes, for theirs !
is a tax tipon existence. Thcv pay
not according to their possessions ;
but according to their consumptions
Tho poor man's taxablos arocomposed
of his big family. Ho is taxed 25
cents in gold for every pound of tea ;
live cents in r;oiii on every pound oi ;
gatherer, they would not long bo en

tance from ono end of the land to the
other.
I have little to say on the greenback
and bond question. I regard lho lo
gal tender set itself a. tlio greatest
financial blunder of modern times,
and the recollection that I did what I
could to prevent il. passage, is a source
of somo gratification, it ha. added
at least ono thousand millions to the
public debt, and lor tni. blunder the
party in power must answer to the
lionplo. The exorbitant nominal val
ues which prevailed during tho war
wero largely the result ol this meas
ure Men wcro captivated by what
they termed a riso in prices ; but the
riso wns in truth nothing but a great
decline in tho standard by which pri
ces were ascertained, and the (iovern
ment paid all this margin on subsis
tence and material for lho war. Tho
ininiiitv of its operation, upon Private
coiilracfs,whorein it substituted tangi-
bio evidence of tho indebtedness of
tho Government, for tho constitution-1
al legal tender of gold and silver, will
tarnish the character ol the govern
ment to tho cud of timo. Of lho pub
lic debt thus enlarged nhiut sixteen
millions known

clearlv tinvublo in leesl tender notes

build lip a favored class and lo beget
discontent against tho Government.
Il is wilh much pleasure 1 speak to
you about our candidates. 1 have
known Horalio Seymour lng and
well. Wo havo been contemporary,
J lo entered tho lugislaturo in 1X11
lho same year I became a member of
tho Senate of this Stuto. I became
Governor in 1851, and ho in !Sj'. I
havo been a closo observer of his bril
liant career, and I can say, in ull sin
cerity, that had 1 boon clothed with
unrestrained authority to select a man
for tho dilllcult duties of tho Presi
dency, I should havo fi.lt requirod to
select IlorntioSeymour. His remark
ablo forcast and wisdom about men
and measures, give him peculiar abili
ty to deal wilh our national troubles.
Ho is rated, even by his enemies, a
man of superior talents, fino scholarly
accomplishments, of pure moral and
Christion character; and no ono lias
ever charged him with corruption or
bad faith in tho discharge of public
duty. But I think incessant devotion
to publio duly his most remnrkablo
charact.Ti.lie. In tho Presidential
chair, the higher duties of tho plnco
would command his ceaseless consid
eration. 1 am not disappointed that
he is assailed with unjust imputations
and bitter reproaches. 1 expected
thin It i.nn.iil fliAfiviliinftliAfimftal
that tho best mon aro abusod most.
Horace Greeley i. especially venomous
in hi. attacks. This, though very un
just on hi. part, i. is not entirely un
natural. Seymour and Greeley have
long differed. When Greeley was a
Socialist, or Fourierito, Seymour was
a man of sense and good morals. When
Greolcy wa. a sectionol agitator, in
citing hate between the States, Sey
mour was teaching obedience to the
Constitution and law. Whon, in the
fall of 1x00 and the spring of 1G1,
(ireeley wasoncouraging the Southern
Stales to Recede, and pleading the
principles of the Declaration of Inde
pendence in support of the disastrous
step, Seymour wa. resisting secession
and endeavoring to sav the peace of
the country by reasonable adjustment.
It is also idle for the lesser lights of
tho liepublican party to impeach the
loyulty of Gov. Seymour during the
war, in the face of thu testimony of Mr.
Lincoln and Mr. Stanton, expressed in
the darkest hours of tho struggle not
only endorsing his devotion to the
cause, but thanking him for the effect
ive and timely aid which ho had ex
tended it from time to time. The
Radical who would not accept such
testimony as this would not bclicvo,
though one rose from the dead. And
surely every Pennsylvaniun should bo
gratelul to hi in for his timely aid when
the State was invaded. II is forces
preceded our own. General Bluir is
both a soldier and a statesman. lie
served with prenl distinction in the
lato war, and yet ho I. tho special
oiit of Uadicnl malignity. The
truth i. that all this talk of loyally on
tho part ol the ltadical. i. a shallow
pretenco. They embrace Joo. Brown,
of Georgia, one of tho wickedest seec.-
i"nist. I ever knew, tho lonnder of
tho Andcrsonville prisons, and slander
liluir, who acted lho part of true
soldier throughout the war. General
Grant is a soldier and a soldier only,
and hi. worst enomie nro thoso who
seek to drag him out of tho line of his
profession and involve liim in tho mire
of politics, wlsero ho must inevitably
fllil- Tho most discreditable thing I
know or hums his declaration that if
M''d President ho should havo no
P'dicy rf his own. It is singular that
, "" frlt,nu" of Urat d!l "t ve
-" ...ij
uis own. iiiope.iiiine.lv is an iiisuii
to those whoso voles he seeks. Whilst
political parties usually enunciate gen
eral view to guide their future, they
despiso a candidate who has no views
of his own. lint this only shows that
General Grant is unschooled in civil
affairs.
The remedies for tho evils of which
I have been complaining are set forth
in the Icmocratio platform, and were
the JDemocracy in power in ail the
department, of govern ment, these
would bo promptly applied. We
should soon have a perfect union of
all tho State., and good will amongst
tho peoplo. The South would then
sharo wilh the North tho heavy ex
penses of the Government. Tho mil
itary would bo rendered subordinate
to tho ciflnfiulhorily in every Slato in
tho Union, and tho supremacy of the
Constitution be acknowledged by all.
Kconomy and purity would prevail in
tho use of tho public money. The
army and navy would bo reduced and
tho negro bureaus disbanded. With
these reforms thero would be no diffi
culty, whatever, in meeting the annu
al interest on tho publio debt and the
expenses ol lho Oovernment, without
' aid of tho present onerous and
mquistonal system oi internal taxa
Hon j which system, with its horde
of agents and corrupting influences,
should bo wiped out of ollicial exist
once. The country under democratic
auspices would iiavo rest and setued
business and political policy, when re
might roasonubly hope for a degree ol
that progress and prosperity which
marked the earlier days ol tho lia
public. lint the Kadlsals seem lo be bent on
rekindling sectional prejutlico and
hate on fighting tho war over again.
j heir leaders are imperious and in
tolerant. Trey seem to be deluded
with the idea that because their Party
made a profuse use of the blood and
treasure of the country during the
war, that, therefore, Ihey should lie
quietly indulged in ull manner of ex
cesses and outrages in the subversion
of the (iovernment, in tho taxation
and oppression of the people, and in
unlimited duplicity and fraud. What
wo hnve said about their dishonorable
dealings with the South, is not as the
advocates ol that section ; wo stand in
no such attitudo ; but as conservators
of tho welfare of tho whole country,
and because the South is part of our
common country, and bccaiiao it must
all innv in unison il we are ever to
haveold time piosperity. Gentlemen,
, it would do these insolent leaders a
' great deal of good to make them settle
I up their account and leave for Salt
river, for it very rivulets. Their
I slang about ''traitors" and "copper-

the vilulsof tho nation no occasion
to extort front tho people Ave hun
dred million, annually. And there is
still another, oquully well known to
lho Badieal leaders, to wit: That
thero was not a day nor nn hour dur
ing tho Into war when tho Democracy
ol"tho North wcro not unqualifiedly
for the Union of tho States, as framed
by out father. Tho truth is they
constituted the only unqualified Union
party in America ot that timo. The
ltadical sought a Union such a. they
might dictate and are dictating of un
equal States, based largely on negro
BiiH'rago ; but not tho Union of Wash
ington and his compeers ; not even
with slavery abolished by the State,
tliomsclvcs.
In conclnsion, gentlemen, permit
mo to say that tho best thing you can
do for your country, at this timo, is
to voto tho Domocrutic ticket and in
duce your neighbor, to do likewise.
