You arc again called upon In main tain tho integrity of Democratic prinoi pies, ami. by your action ami vote*, eg tnhli-h tlieir auprctnacy in tlie State. The lii to y and record of tho party in all past time has been consistent, and its force lias always been expended in defense of the rights ot tho citizen, guaranteed to him by the organic law of the land. Your fealty to the party is not the result of subserviency to the dictates of nny one man or set of men, but rests upon conviction, that its policy and principles, when fully carried out. have ever contributed to the prosperity and material wealth of tho State. To this end it lias invariably resisted the en croachments of political power directed < against the rights of personal liberty and properly. It is a fundamental principle of the Democratic party, that the majority shall ride—that the will of the people, fairlv and freely .expressed at the polls, is the supreme law of the land, and should be maintained at all hazards, and that any attempt to set aside that will so declared, is a crime against the State, and subversive of the rights of the individuals constituting < it. To establish a government based j upon this principle cost the best blood ; of the patriots of the Revolution, and i base and degenerate would he their children if over they should permit it to he impaired. The highest privilege that can he exercised by a freeman is the right of the elective franchise ; its enjoyment is secured to him by the hill of rights, which declares. That "elec tion* shall he free and equal; and no power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exer cise of the right of suffrage. 1 ' In the exercise of this right, the elector is a sovereign, anil a tame submission to any encroachment upon it would speedily hasten a condition of servitude. In the exercise of the elective franchise, all arc pilaced upon the same level, without regiyd to the conditions of life or for tune. The poorest voter, in the use of this privilege, wields a power equal to that of the richest and most powerful in the State. The ballot makes them equal, and its importance is of no great er value to one than the other, and hence—in the perfect security of its free exero-sc to every voter—rests the permanency of our system of self gov. crnment. To its free and untrammcll ed enjoyment the Democratic uartv pledges its unfaltering support. Under Republican rule this guaranteed right to every citizen has been flagrantly vio lated, not onlv in this, but in other states of the Union. But it was the heroic devotion of the Democratic par ty in the last Congress that reaffirmed and partially restores! the right of the elector to a free ballot. That was not a contest for political supremacy, hut a struggle for a lost right, and arcopiplished for the people what in other times could not have been gained without an apqioal to arms. In this State, for years you have sub mitted to the rule of the Republican partv. and not only by intimidation and fraud have electors l>eon deprived of their suffrage, hut in more than one in stance you have been disfranchised, the legitimate honest, vote of the State hav ing been counted out. More than one State official has held his office against the honestly (tolled vote of the people. In the city of Philadelphia it is notori ous that the most flagrant outrages have f>een perpetrated upon the electors, by rejeater, ballot-box stutrers, and the paid minions of tho National govern ment, and the right to a free ftnllot has Wen trampled upon within the shadow of Independence Hall, where the spirit of liWrty was first given bjrth. I think I mistake not the temper of the Demo cratic partv now, in that, they will not again tamely submit to such an invasion of their rights, hut in the approaching election they will see to it that there shall not only he n free ballot hut an honest count. tither elements, equally dangerous to the rights of the citizen and the pros perity of the Commonwealth, exist. The Renublican partv for years has been in the keeping of an organized ring, that ycnnrnt.dy has relieved the masses of the party from the response bility of taking an active part in its management. It has organized its State conventions, selected and nomi nated candidates for high political po sitions, and appointed Senators to rep resent Pennsylvania in the Senate of United States, used the power of the lohhy to control important legislation, and by the potent influence of money nnd position, its baleful influence has found its way into every fibre of our po litical system. Whenever it became necessary to accomplish a purpose, its power waa irreaistahle. It pervaded every department of the Slate govern ment, and in the House and Senate were found its efficient representatives. In the lobby it was omnipotent. The treasury was regarded as the object of legitimate plunder, and the representa tives of the people aa the mere instru ments to give legal form to rohhery. The most iniquitous measures were conceived and executed. The sentence of [tnlitiral death, without reprieve, waa impoaed on any adherent who hesitated to carry out the decree of the ring, and his place filled by a more pliant and supple tool. In the name of loyalty the State was plundered. The public works, coating the people millions, were given away, and the treasury depleted by the repeal of the tonnage tax. New offices were created with immense emoluments and a long tenure, to which they un hesitatingly appointed themselves. Cor porations demanded of the legislature extraordinary privileges—they were free ly granted—and in the exercise of un warranted power, threatened the exist ence of individual enterprise, and, in deed, to rise paramount to constitution al authority. The Republican party was in the graap of the ring, and the ring became, and is, the Republican party. It is true that corporations with care fully guarded powers are necessary to carry out great enterprises, hut in grant ing privileges superior to those enjoyed by the individual, the greatest vigilance should he exercised by the legislature, otherwise as all experience proves, hav ing once entered the field of special privilege, their rapacity knows no limit, and they become engines of oppression, crushing out evety interest hut their own, "gathering where they have not strewn, nnd reaping where they have not sown." Recently their grasping tendency of corporate power has been displayed in tho great oil regions of the .State, This wonderful natural development has attracted tlieie immense capital, the necessary and legitimate result of which has been to add largely to the material wenlth of tho Commonwealth. There the widest field for individual enterprise has been opened. Thousands of the active men, tho business men, tho live men of tho country, of physical I and intellectual energy, have been J drawn to this center. To foster and , encourage this interest by proper and ! protective legislation, that the producer may reap the legitimate fruit of his la k >r ami capital, should he the first care ot the Commonwealth, and yet, we are assured by the appeals coming from the people of that region, that the great I carrying corporations in their discrimi- | nation against tho producer and trans porter have so paralysed the enterprise of individuals, as to make them their servants, "the hewers of wood, and the drawers of water." For these wrongs they must hold re sponsible the Republican party, which bus been in full |>ossession of the execu tive and legislative branches of the gov- j eminent. To correct t.iose and many other grievances, and the more effectually to t guard the approaches of corrupt influ ence upon members of the Legislature, a new • Vitistitutiou was demanded. The ring influence in the lb-publican party arrayed itself in opposition to the pro- I posed reform, but the people aroused to a sense of its importance, carried the j proposition by an overwhelming ma- ' jority. The new (Constitution was adopt ed. The most stringent provisions were incorporated in it to curb the encroach ment of unwarranted corporate power, i and seemingly impassable barriers rais ed to prevent the approaches of corrupt influence upon the representatives of the people. The people felt safe in its apparent protection, but how vain and futile were their hopes. Chartered mo iiopolies refused to submit to its require ments, and the poisonous influence of the lobby again found its way into the halls of legislation. To the ring combi nation in the State the Constitution was but a rope of sand, ilf this the proof is before thasition, will save the fair fame of the Common wealth and place the revenues of the people beyond the reach of organized corruption. Hitherto the enemies of the honest administration of the government were insidious in their approaches to the treasury, hut emboldened with long sure*-** with impunity, ami the magni tude of the prize in their recent attempt ii|on it, they lost their usual cautmu and hence investigation has disclosed the actor*—the ruling spirit* in the in- I iqtiity. Some have been condemned in ! ilie laxly of which they were members, and others await their trial before ale gal tribunal. Manifestly the days of the |x>litical power of the ring in Penn sylvania are drawing to a close. The Democratic party occupies no uncertain position u|>ou this question, i but has placed itself on record before the people, in tho late ( invention, in the following decided resolution : ''Tmth, Thst the recent sttenipt, under the personal direction of ruling Republi can leaders, to dettaui h the Ix-gislaloro by wholesale bribery and corruption, and tke from the commonwealth four millions of dollars for which its liability has never been ascertained, is a fresh and alarming evidence of the aggrrssiveness of corporate power in collusion with |x>litical rings, and should receive the signal Condemnation of the |*-oplc at the polls," But what attitude does tho Repuhli can parly, through its leaders, occupy on this leading, vital question of wheth er fraud or honesty shall he the rule in the Htate ? It is a fact, and one which every honest Republican must admit, that the leadeis and controllers of the late convention at llarrishurg, by their action compel him as a member of the party virtually to endorse bribery and corruption, and to declare that he will not have honest men in office. There is for hint no escape from the position in which they have placed him hut to to pu-fiate their action by voting against the candidate they have selected. A distinguished Republican, struggling for Ins political life with the ring, put the question now fairly lieforc that conven tion by offering the following resolu tion : "That In view of the developments of corrupt practices in ronneetlon with the Riot bill in the last House, we emphatical ly reaffirm that part of tho platform adopt ed by the Republican Slate Convention at Lnneaster in 1H75, and which was adopted bv the Republican State Convention at llarrishurg in IH7'!, which demands 'hon est men in office—men with brains enough to know dishonesty when they see t( and courage enough to light it wherever they And it.'" This resolution was rejecter! f The presentation of it, it is manifest, was anticipated, and the result shows that the parlies in interest wore fully pre pared to meet the issue. It was prede termined that no action of that con vention should in any way reflect upon or condemn the corrupt practices nnd means used to procure tho passage of that bill, hut on the contrary that the convention should be compelled to ex tenuate rather than oondemn. To this end the machinery of the convention must be seized. To prevent the intro duction of u resolution of tliia charac ter, and to deny it even the grace of being rend, parliamentary law must he stricken down. Failing in tlii*, to guard against the possibility of a mi nority report which would develop Ihe iniquity and spread it before tin- people, a right, t he rule and practice of which i* recognized in all convention*, must he trampled upon. How well they ac complished their work is written in the proceeding* of that convention, and is before the people for their sober judg ment.

MII.I.EE, Chairman. - The Yazoo Ituslness. • Yt"m llw |Vm|. -lust after the war a man named Morgan, who had had some connection with the F<-deral army, settled in the county of Yazoo, Mis*., and married a mulatto woman, engaging in politic* as an advocation.

He found no difficulty in being elected to any office he chose, and finally, after • tying a number, selected that of Sher iff a* being the moat profitable. Hi* reign was a reign of terror. Thing* went on frotn bad to worse, until near ly every while man who did not profit with an association with Morgan found a refuge elsewhere. One day a man named Dixon, who had been a Confed erate soldier, and wa* well known a* a desperate character, sent Morgan an unsealed letter in which he tersely in formed him that he (Dixon) was tired of the way things had been going on, and that he wanted him to "git out of there." In order that he might know ju*t what wa* meant, Dixon added a postscript to the effect that if he met alter the receipt of hi* letter ho would shoot him on sight. Morgan wa* a desperate man himelf, hut in Dixon he recognized hi* master. Within the time prescribed he found for himself a new abiding place. Ihxon immediate ly succeeded to hia leadership and ty rannical domination. The negroea feared him, but they obeyed him. He ruled them a* merci lessly a* Morgan, and by the same mean*. One day he chased an offend ing colored man to a cotton field where thirty or forty other negroe* were at work. The hunted man *a* him com ing and fled to the river, Dixou rode up io the gang unattended and forced them by hi* will power alone to capture tlio runaway, put a rope around hi* ruck, and hang him to the limb of u tree without any more ado than if he hud been a mad dog. Two year* ago, Dixon met a gambler who bud won some of liis money ami *liot him down without a word of warning. Hi* next job was to puck a jury with negroes and obtain an acquittal. Hy tiiia time lie hud become a* great a terror a* Morgan had ever been, and finally the white citizen* of Yazoo ami the *lll rounding country made common cause and drove him out ol the State. Two monthxago he returned and announced himself as an independent candidate for sheriff. That meant, if it meant anything, a renewal of tho old scene* —violence, murder and ruin. In sheer self defense, just a* tin ) would have united against an in sane man with a tuich in hi* hand, or a wild animal, the citizen* of Yazoo coun ty—without distinction ol polities or color—canie together and informed I'IXOO that lie would not lie allowed to turn their peaceful community into an other hell. In most countries such a man would have been bung to the high est tree or nearest lamp |H>*t, and but j little note would have been made of it. i Here, however, a quiet but determined suppression ot him ha* been tortured ! into proscription of the worst grade, ' arid northern paper* have printed ceil- 1 uinn* of denunciation of what they , atyle "the Mississippi method."
