We Iwl null more tbo imKrtance of

calla the lirat acta in tb atrueKle wbicb
umau u a Iree MXple, and tli erenUt
which led to tho lorniation of our Un
ion aud tbo adoption of ita Constitu
tion. ' Our action at ibis time is one of
Ilia transactions necessary to the life
of our government ; one without which
it would fall into anarchy and ruin.
l his day also reminds ns or tho growth
of New York. We represent more
millions of people Uian lived in onr
country when our fathers fought the
hattlcs of the Revolution, or formed
the government of our Union. The
ceremonies of tho year bavo excited
a pnUo in our country, its history, and
its government. Hut none ot these
have filled our minds with such a deep
im-ihw vi iua uigiiuy w AtiiaricKii tu
zenahip as the political action of the
last month. Upon a given day more
than eight millions of men moving sim
ultaneously in all parts of this Tast
country went to the ballot boxes and
gave the votes which told their will as
to tho men who should fill the bigheat
office in our government When a
majoiity of more than three hundred
thousand, represented by tho proper
number of electoral votes, declared
their choice, all strife ccacd and all
chccrf'ullv yielded to thu will of tbo
people. Business bewail to resume its
activity, public confidence grew still
more strong as wo tbua happily round
ed out the century of our existence as
If we fail, then the lessons of this
Centennial year should teach ns virtue
when varied Interests of labor, of arta,
ot commerce, and of capital all org
us to a lino oi ronauci wnico win in
spire the world with confidence and
ourselves with tbo highest sentiments
of honor, then oar future will be a long
stop toward national decay and degra
dation.
While wo implore all classes of citl
zona to eutor upon the duty of docid
ing what shall be done to avert threat
ened evils, we Tespecllully appeal to
the great Republican party to aee if
mo uravicni rvpoiiBiuiiny tor a jasa
decision aoe not rest upon them. And
we make this appeal with confidence
that a great organization, which baa
us lull sharo ot virtue and patriotism,
win not, wncn it calmly reviews tbe
events of tbe day, tail to do justice to
us, to themselves, and to the country.
we do not complain that under tbe
excitement ot the canvass, or that bo
fore the beat of the election should
have passed away, yon may for a mo
ment grasp eagerly at a victory with
out seeing that such a victory may
prove a curse to Ton aa well aa to tlie
others. But we beg yon will reflect
now that yon have had exerted In your
behalf, not only the whole power of
the national administration with Ita
hosts oi officials, but that the execution
of all lawa relating to the election of
was entirely in the hands of your par
tisan. If we look at the provisions
oi tnese luws, we Una they contain lea
tores of a startling character, as they
were framed before the passion excit
ed by civil war had been allayed, and
with reference to Slates still looked
npon as hostile to our Union. Tbe
judicial officer of every grado who in
terpret these lawa. almost without ex
ception, belong to your party. Tb
marshals wno execute them are best
ed politicians, the very tenure of whose
office depend upon tbe success of your
utalion, done undor our owa eye, tbe character of our political inatitu
throw light upon thbaedispntedpoinU? tiona by all legal method. Tbey wil!
If morale were violated at lb fountain
bead in th North, tbey respect
ed by meo of worse than doubtful
character at the South ? Those men,
by tbeir call upon thu general admin
istration lor ita armed forces, proclaim
ed to tb world their dependence upon
ita power, and tbeir servitude to its
wishes. The bead of the Republican
committee held tbo double position of
rL- a. Si ...
a lauinei aiinisier, B'lvising and di
recting tbe action of (he irovcmment.
and at tbe asms time managing the
machinery of a party t Tbua at an ex
citing election the government of tbe
iiiion openiy mica icen with a nartv.
gave it a power of Coercion over ita
officials, in violation cl tbe spirit of tbe
iawa against intimiua ion and bribery.
It did just what it cAarifoaairainst tbe
people of the South. What lessons of
law and morals and of duty did such
example teach these dependent officials
in Louisiana? These questiona must
press themselves upon the minds and
conscieneeaof every honest man. Until
w ponder well upon what we know
oi tue canvas at the north, we can-
arouse tho spirit of justice in our peo
ple by exposingoutragca at every town,
county, Bute, and general election.
United, vigorous and determined, tbey
cannot be resisted by a party whose
best member will fuel that they are
placed in false positions, and who will
know that the bonor and Interest of
their country would demand the detcat
ol tbe organization to wbicb tbey be
long. J be contest under suob circum
stances would for a long time agitato
and engross the American mind, His
to be deplored, as it would check tbe
restoration of that con fidencedernanded
by the business interest of our land.
The Democratic party la too strong to
be violent ; it will not forfeit the confi
dence of tho . people by any dhv
play of passion ; It can assert Itself
through the regular channels of noliti
cal action. I-rands may delay tbe
course of justice, may excite passions
burllul to the progress ot our country;
but legal ami just punishment will
surely follow. That party which con
trols towns, counties and States, will
control the country. The President,

arrests in some rase without process,
and by express enactment are placed
above tbe reach of the laws, and ol tbe
judiciary of the State. At the late
election, ICepuhlict-n officials, at tbe ex
pense of tbe general government, could
examine every registry in tbe pnnci
pal town and cities. Tbey could and
did arrest men lor accidental clerical
errors of others in giving tbe name or
tbe number of a bonse. In only one
instance nnder these was there a re
cognition of tbo party opposed to the
this faaltless working of tbe mechan
ism ot our government wo proudly
challenged the admiration of the world.
At this moment ol general congrat
ulation the people were startled by the
assertion that there had been discover
ed in remote lrmthcrn State the ex
act number of electoral vote which
would be given to and would elect the
Proidenliul candidate who was not
the choice of the nmjorily of the Anier
ican tieople. This surprise was great
er because it was one of the charge
made by the Republican in tbe tuu-
bad reputation, acting under the influ
encea of interest and passion, tempted
to violate duty and morals by tbe ex
ample of a committee beaded by aC'abi
net officer? If we can conscientiously
not of lear.
Rising above all party consideration,
we appeal to the men of business, of
labor, ot capital to assert tbeir right
at this time, to admonish tbeir leader
say the conduct of the committee was j not to go loo far in irampiing under
right, we can then go on and investi
gato the conduct of officials at the
south. If w aoe that it waa wrong.
we neea iook no lurtber.
If, by any trick or fraud, tbe candi
date of tbe minority is placed in the
Presidential chair against tbe wishes
oi tne people, every man who bas thus
been forced to pay for bis election will
have a right to aay to bis administra
tion, "Yon demanded our money to
piace you in power, vi demand the
positions we bought of the accredited
head ol your organization." Tbe great
point of civil service reform is to avoid
lliia corruption and to make the ten
foot rights that are vital to tbe security
of industry and ol proiierty. Such
men can. if tbey will, by clear expres

this question in accordance with right

that the blackness of their crime

peril the interests, tho honor and the

have not the . poor satisfaction of feel
ing that tbe dangers that threaten ns
are even invested with the ordinary
dignity of danger. The pi ids of oar
citizen is humiliated, and their feel
ings of security under our law and
Constitution are lessened, when tbey
see that tbe aolenm verdict of eight
million voters may be reversed by lea
than eight infamous men men who
have been branded by tbe leading ora

in terms more vigorous than I can re
peat. If under our Constitution the
majority of tbe electrtral vote of the'
Stall bad been fairly given lo lbeRe-1

have acquiesced in tbeir election.

nothing approaching this in power can
exist io any part of our country. There
ia no organization which could for a

We alto appeal to tb ttepubucan
