TIIK Democratic party, nay tlie :
Wellington I'ort, always haa been,
ami always mint be, the party
of "lioneat money." The Democratic
party ha* never advocated the pay
ment of public or private debt* at a
lea* rate than a hundred cent* on the !
dollar. For the benefit of a cla**, the
Radical party ha* compelled the pay- i i
ment of $1.30 to gl.- r >o on every $l.OO i
of debt, and ha* claimed to lie the 1
only "lioncat money party" while thus ;
robbing the people for the eu rich ment 1
of a few. Now that the plot ha* been '
worked out, and the wrong i* beyond ,
remedy, it is high time for the author* |
of the robbery to stop l>oa*ting of their ,
honesty. The Democracy of to-day ,
*tand* where the Democracy of the i
Jackxon era xtood, in favor of no |>a- <
per that i* not worth it* face in law- 1
fnl money; in favor of a sound cur
rency of gold and silver, or its equiva- '
lent; in favor of treating all classes 1
of public creditors alike; in favor of
the same dollar for the laborer as for ,
the millionaire. It accepts the wrong
of the past because it is unremcdiable, i
and proposes to do all that is "nomi
nated in the bond." And it sets its 1
face against this needless agitation of '
diUd questions, whether of finance or
other issuca growing out of the war.
The great issue of the hour is, whether
the majority or the minority shall rule
this republic? That question is at the
front, and must stay there till it is
definitely and finally determined. The
Radical leaders have set up minority
' rule by frnud, and propose to main
tain it uuder cover of law. The Dem
ocratic jmrty proposes to re-establish
• the fundamental principle of the gov
ernment —the right of the majority to
rule.
A Nioo Administration.
While Mark* ami other thieves and
scoundrels, under the protection of
Mr. Hayes and hi* cabinet officers, are
stealing the revenue* and robbing the
government iu the South by thous
ands, John Sherman, Key, Tyner ami
others are junkctting in the North on
political tours in government vessels,
at government expense, at the rate of
many thousands more jwr week. And
yet Mr. Sherman ha* the cheek to *ay
in his speeches that this is an economi
cal administration of the government.
These practical illustrations will not
strike the people very forcibly in con
firmation of John'* claim to economy,
or even the decency of expenditure he
indulged out of the public treasury at
the very time of making the claim.
How (litß-rcnt i* this from the good
old Democratic times, when statesmen
lind some resnect for their own honor,
and administered public affairs to pro
mote the honor of the country and the
interest and prosperity of the people.
Whoever heard, under Democratic i
administration, of an Attorney Gener
al of the United State* ordering a
Grand Jury to be discharged, because
they hail evidence before them of the
most infamous and damning fraud*
upon the Treasury, a* iu the case of
Mark* in New Orleans, by Attorney
General Devon* ? Who ever heard of
a Cabinet minister under Democratic
administration appropriating a gov
ernment vessel, provided with all the
luxuries of riotous living at the ex- i
pense of the public Treasury, to travel
around the country on politcal tours
to fix things up to suit hi* own political
aspirations, ami entertain hi* friend*
cheaply, as in the case of Mr. Sherman
in his political mission to New Eng
land ? To the honor of the Ifemo
cratic party, and it* honored represent
atives, no such mean advantage was
ever taken of their official position* to
make the people contribute to their
pleasures from the public treasury.
Mr. Hayee and his Vetoes.
Wrlii-n fr Hi- Ctirrmi t'liunit
The fundamental principle of this and
every other Republican government is,
that the sovereign power resides and is
inherent in the people and not in the
government. All governments are in
stituted for the protection of this right
in the people. Itefore the formation of
the Union the people of each Slate
were sovereign and independent. They
had exercised their sovereignty in the
formation of State constitutions and
governments. They not only retained
all power not given to those govern
menU by their constitutions, but they
(KMseased the right of altering and
changing their constitutions at will.
In virtue of this sovereign fowpr the
people of the old States consented to
form a compact of Union for mutual
safety and equality of rights, and agreed
to vest in the government of the Union
certain {towers the better to guarantee
to the people the enjoyment of the re
mainder.
The powers of the general govern- j
ment are therefore limited and all
(tower not delegated remains with the
States as far as their constitutions give
it and with the people. In all other
respecU, the States and the people are
as completely sovereign as they were
before the Union was formed. The
State legislatures are therefore at liberty
to pas* any laws in their discretion, ex
cepting such laws as they have agreed
to by the Federal compact not to make,
for they are not restricted from so do
ing. Who, then, can say they are not
competent to pass laws to protect their
qualified citixens on the day of elec
tion from being intcrferred with in the
exercise of the elective franchise by
United States marshals and soldiers T
The sth section of Article 1 of our Con*
stitution declares that "elections shall
be free and equal; and no power civil or
mUtlary, thall at any time interfere to pre
vent Ike free erereiee <f the right of ruf- •
frage /" and Section 5, of Article
VIII, declares, that "electors shall In
all cases, except t res son, felony and
breech or surety of the peace, be privil
eged from arrest during their attend
ence on elections, and going to and re
turning therefrom and the 22d Hec
tion of the same Article declares thst
"the military shall in all COM* and at all
times he in strict subordination to the
civil power."
The Legislature under the provisions
of the Constitution passed an set en
titled "A further supplement to the act
regulating election* in thi* Common
wealth," approved January 30, *. j.
1874, containing twenty *ix sections,
embodying evety constitutional requis
ite to secure to the qualified citizens of
Pennsylvania, a free, just and equal
election, and providing under the sev
eral sections of the act for the punish
ment of every species of fraud. Shall
our constitution and election laws be
nullified by Grant and Ilayea? Shall
our citizens attending the election polls
be insulted, intimidated and arrested
with impunity ou election day in exer
cising their elective franchises, by Fed
eral marshals and soldiers ? There are
no United States election laws. It is
the several State# that put the whole
machinery of elections within their
respective territory in operation. Thi*
is in the States and not in the Fx
ecu live or any other branch of the Fed
eral government, and no State govern
ment should permit the United States
F.xecutive, be ho usurper or not, to in
vade the elective rights of her citizen*.
In the days ofGovernor McKean, Simon
Snyder, and Chief Justice Tilgman such
infringing upon the rights of the State#
would have been prevented, lis can be
j seen by referring to the early decisions i
of the Supremo Court of our State and
! her patriotic Kxecutives when ihent
j tempt was made. Sco the opinion of,
Chief Justice McKean in 3 Halloa 473, ,
(cited by Judge Roan in the case of
| Hunter vs. Morten 3 Hal las 52,) in the
■ Commonwealth vs. Cobtut, in which the
| rourt refused to permit the defendent,
j t'obbit, who was an alien to remove his
case into the Federal court*, notwith
; standing the |>o*itive provision of the
| 12th section of the United States judi
: rial act. In the case of t'hisoltn vs. the
; State of Georgia, in 1792, reported in
j 2 I'.illas 41'.', Georgia disregarded all the
proceeding* of the United States court,
nnd by this action caused the adoption
of the lltli amendment to the Federal
constitution ' the States, ami wa*
that tribunal thereafter restrained from
interfering with the lights of the State*?
In proof of thi* assertion that the 11th
amendment of the constitution was
caused by the interposition of Georgia,
I refer to the case of Hollingsworth vs.
Virginia, 3 Uallaa, 378, where it is stated
in the o|>ening of the case that t'hisoltn
and Georgia have produced the amend
mcnt referred to.
In the case of Gideon Olsmstcd there
was a contest between the United
States court* and the courts of Penn
sylvania. It had heen pending for
several years, and in 1803, George Ro..
Ksq., (one of the signer* ol the Ueclara
tion of Independence) Judge of Admi
rality of Pennsylvania, made a decree
in favor of the State. Richard Peter*,
one of the Judges of the United States,
decreed in favor of the United States,
and a peremptory mandate had been
issued from the Supreme Court of the
United State# commanding the aaid
Richard I'eters to issue processes, Ae.
Governor Snyder, on the 27th day of
February. 1809, issued hi* order* to Gen.
Michael Hriglit, commander of the first
brigade of the Pennsylvania militia, re
ferring to the Act of Assembly of April
2, 1803, from which I make a few ox
tracts : "As the Governor of the Com
monwealth is required by said Act of
the General Assembly to protrct Mr njhu
of tkt StaU in respect to premise* by
further means and measures that he
may deem necessary for tho purpose,"
Ac,, "it tiecomee my duty to act in obe
dience to the requisition* and injunr
tions of the*aid act of Assembly, and by
virtuo of the powers vested in me bv the
'Constitution nnd laws of tho Common- '
wealth, I, .Simon Snyder, Governor of
the said Commonwealth, reposing spe
cial trust and confidence in you, Michael
Bright, commander of the first brigade
of the first division of the Pennsylvania
militia, do authorize nnd require you
to have immediately in readiness
such portion of the militia under your
command a* shall he sufficient for the
purpose expressed in this order," Ac. j
The decree of Judge Peters, of the
United States courts, the Governor had
referred to the Assembly, which, by re
port and resolutions, declared the act
of Judge Peter# "to be founded in usur
pation and contravention of the just
right# of this Commonwealth." All
these measures in opposition to State
rights were pursued under the admin
istration of the elder Adams who in
tended to perpetuate them by his ap
pointment of his mid-night judge*, who
would sustain his ideas of a strong and
splendid government by consolidation
just as Grant did in his appointment of
< i ted States judges in later years.
The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions
of 1798-99 awoke the people, who pro
tested against the Alien and Sedition
laws. It was a glorious era of the vindi
cation of the insulted Constitution and
the restoration of the outraged righta of
the Statea. Now we find Grant, Hayes
and the stalwarts endeavoring to revive
the same measures of repression and
tyranny on election days through the
instrumentality of Federal marshals and
ooldiera. PSTBICK HENRY.

AIiIiRRSH TO MOTIIF.K*.
MB. PRESIIIEVT. —There stood by the
: cross of Jesus, hi# mother. I mention
1 thia text to illustrate one single point
! the strength of a mother's love for her
children—a feeling as universal a* man,
and a stream *o deep that nothing but
the eye of the ' >mnieient one can see
! it* greatest depth. Whereeveryou find
| woman, exalted or lowly, she will cheer
| fully give up her life and go down to the
grave to save 10-r child. The Iw-nrt of the
j mother can never grow cold. Her off
I *pring may leave hor one by one and
j be scattered to the four quarter* of the
globe, hut she i* ever constant in her
affection.
A mother must be decided and firm.
This i* not so difficult, but when this
firmness i* tempered with tender feel
ing* and a voice us soil a* the note* of
a ilute, it i* exceedingly ditlicult. Your
.child ha* but little judgment, and hun
dred* of times a week ami many times
every day n* wishes must lie denied and
| it* will made to submit to yours. In
doing this the trial* of a mother are
nerei sarily constant and unknown.
How can a mother train up her child
for Godi a question I would answer
by replying that she must be a woman
of daily, fervent, habitual prayer for
j she need* wisdom. She must lead her
child to feel that the Imdy is not the
great object for which he live*.
Mr. President, there i* a clnss of
mothers, many belonging to good so
ciety, who teem to seek to destroy their
I children. Wiiat shall be said of h> r
who takes her child down to the river
side and lavs it upon Ihg wave* of time,
and she stand* by and sees the waves
carrying 10-r own child out into the
deep, while the drum* are beating to
drown the cries of her infant. We
see this same class coining and surround
ing the table of the lord, and they tell
us they are on the road to heaven!
Now, let Ul view those noble mothers
whose hearts never grow cold for their
offspring. Though rivers run and
mountains rear their bead* and long
desert* lie between her and them, that
love which hold* them to her heart
never grow* cold. Now, why ha* God
planted this deep love for the offspring
in that mother's heart ? Thete she
stand* with dignity—a spirit which may
ever rise up in glory and in light. Nev
er tin* side of eternity will the influ
ence of a mother le known who trained
up a child nnd planted religious im
pressions upon hi* soul that a kingdom
and a crown could not keep b;m from
adhering to.
", mother*, train up your children
for eternity, then, once more, because
this will place your child high in glory.
In this life wecan never know how many
spirit* of just tnen made perfect now
reign in heaven in cnnequence of the
faithfulness of their mother*. Mr.
President, I must say I have never mot
with any loss so great a* that of losing
the care and insfiuclion* of my mother
• luring my childhood in consequence of
her having lost her reason. Hut 1 can
recollect that when a little l>oy I wa*
standing at the open window at the clo*e
of a lovely summer day. The large, red
sun was just sinking away behind the
western lull* the sky wa* gold and
purple commingled-the winds were
sleeping, and a soft, solemn stillness
seemed to hang ovpr the earth. I WAS
watching the sun a* he sent his yellow
ray* through the trees, and felt a kind
of awe. though I knew not wherefore.
Just then my mother came to me. She
was raving with phrenty, for reason had
long since left it* throne and her a vic
tim of madness. She came up to me
wild with insanity. I pointed to the
glorious sun in the west, and in a mom
ent she wa* calm. She look riiy hand
within hers and told me that the great
God made the sun, the star* and the
world—ererything -that He it was who
made her little boy, and gave him an
immortal spirit; that yonder sun and
the green fields and the world itself will
one day l>e burned up; hut that the
spirit of her child will than be alive.
Mr. President, you see how these '
good mothers put their trust irt God ;
then you may see how the wicked and
jirofano mother* trust in Mammon.
Those who with to live in sin are afraid
to know all they can almut find. Hut
their mothers that stand on the rock of
ages—though storm* of sorrow gather
over them, though their dearest hope*
l>e cut off, 'though tbeir mo*t-)oved
friend* lie taken away by death, though
their very graves be worn out. and the
earth and heavens part and all thing*
be seen crumbling to ruin*—*till they
are safe, the denial God is their refuge
and nothing shall ever hurt them. The j
golden chain which binds all holy being* |
together is held by tho hand of the
eternal God. The eye that watches
over all never slumbers, never sleep*.
He foresee* all things, provide* for all
event*. Those good and noble mothers
need not be afraid of darkness—ever
lasting light is about the throne of God.
They need not fear sorrow—rivers of
joy flow at Hi* right hand. They need
not fear death—the great fountain of
life and light is never to he dried uji.
Those wicked mothers cannot stand in
hia presence, for God remains and wilt
punish sin.
Mayor Stockly, of Philadelphia, re
ceived a letter on Friday from a lawyer
of Krie, Pa., stating that a man in that
city, while under the fear of death, hod
confessed to having committed a mur
der in Philadelphia some years ago,
killing a porter in a dentist's establish
ment and robbing the place of a large
amount of gold. The murder referred
to ia that of Jamea Nead*, who in IBA3
was gaged and strangled at White'*
dental establishment. Parties were ar
rested at the time, but the evidence
waa toot sufficient to bold them and
they were discharged.

One of the questions that will add to
the |>olitexcitement of the next ses
sion of (/Ongremi in that of restoring
'"■n. Kit* John l'orter to hi* rank in
the army, ami of allowing him pay for
the time he bos heen HO unjuatly de
prived of hia position. This subject
will lead to a hitter political diaeuaaion,
and very many interesting reta will be
developed. When the hoard which re
opened and reviewed the Porter caae
submitted it# report, certain hading
Republican statesmen immediately urg
ed Mr. Ilayea to inform them of the de
! ciaion. In hia u*ual round about way
ho complied with their request, and
thua the newa that Oen. Porter had
| heen vindicated became public. Oen.
I Garfield, Zek ' handler, and other
prominent Republican* inaisted that
i the report ahould not he laid before
''ongreaa, "at leaat for the present."
'lhey urged that the finding of the
Hoard waa a stigma upon the original
court martial anil upon President Lin
coin, who approved its finding; that
political influence had induced the ver
dict of vindication, and that Hayes'
duty to hi* party should prompt him to
render that verdict null and void; that
to make the vindication complete by re
storing (Jen. Porter to his rank and pay,
| would prove advantageous to the Hem
oeratic party and injurious to the Ke
| üblican party. Senator Randolph la
bored industriously to counteract the
influence of the radical politic ians and
had frequent interviews wiih Mr. Hayes,
lie reminded the <!t /< irio President that
he had ordered the review of the case,
and had made his own selection of the
officer* to perform that duty; that the
hoard was composed of honorable and
distinguished men, who had performed
their duty faithfully, and such a course
as that advised by Garfield would he a
public reproach to those officer*; that
the only honorable action open was to
submit the rejtort to Congress for it* ac
; tion. Haves was kept between these
two fire* ftr weeks, lie was inclined to
comply with the demands of his party,
but the public expression*, through
newspaper* and otherwise, a* to the
l'orter c i>e admonished him that the
call for justice was too loud to be mis
understood. He finally pursued a course
in keeping with his nature, and coin
promised. It was his duty to either ap
prove or disapprove the finding of the
l-'card. ami transmit the report to Con
grc--#, If he approved there was noth
ing ele to say. but if he disapproved he
would have to give hi* reason* for so
doing. There was a'csolutely nothing
upon which to base a disapproval, and
he said to the friends of lien, l'orter
that to approve the finding would cor
tainly array hi* party leaders against
bun. He admitted the justice of the
finding, and acknowledged that great
injustice had been done lien. l'orter,
but he couldn't take issue witu the
Radical leaders, even to do right. Then
said <ten. l'orter'* friend*: "Send the

into olivet for two weeks by the imjsor
tunities of Chandler and 'iarfield. They
would not consent to anything that
would lead to a ventilation of the man
ter in which the condemnation of l'or
ter wa* obtained, 'iarfield made it a
personal matter with Hayes, saying that
he had served upon the court-martial,
and to reverse the verdict would tie an
imputation upon hi* honor. "Hut what
ran I do?" asked Hayes despairingly,
'iarfield wanted the reiKirt to remain an
executive secret, and insisted, at all
events, that it should not be sent to
Congress during the extra session ; but
'♦en. l'orter'* friends prevailed, and the
bare report xrs* transmitted. Senator
Randolph, a* chairman of the Senate
military committee, hopes! to bring
the matter before that lody during the
continuance of the recent session, but the
important legislation in hand prevented
htm. He intends, however, to get the
question liofore Congress early in lie
ccmlier next in the shape of a bill to
restore lien Porter to hi* proper rank, i
and pay him for the lime he ho* been
1 unjustly deprived of that position. The i
back pay will amount in the aggregate
to $ 1 15,000 for the rank Hen Porter
held when dismissed. His friends insist
that allowance shall be made in hi*
favor for the promotion he would no j
doubt have earned, had he not stood in ,
the way of Radical schemer*, but Gen. !
Porter has informed them that he
wanted only the complete vindication !
to which he waa entitled, and that a
restoration to his old rank would be
entirely satisfactory.. On the very day j
that Hayes sent the report to Con gross,
/.*ch Chandler and Garfield spent an
hour or two trying to prevail u|>on him
not to do so. Tney made aeveral call#
at the White House for that purpose,
and were very indignant because the
acting President would not do their I
bidding. The persistence with which
Garfield and Chandler pursued Hayc*
