to theme in4he presence of this
enl' toned •atulgtnce. I am not au" ,

.r c ra utg, s
&Pe MIY
ME
I• rejoice at the opportunity, upon
d ile
this; occasion ;..itild at this time, to
come and hold friendly converse
with you for a short period upon our
sorrel dutieszin the present ezner
genny. The &publican party,' as
such, has t great mission yet before
it. ' •-1 shallibe :candid when I say it,
thatl feel • a pe,:culiar pride in the
honor and glory of that party. I
was_present at die-first convention,
and,..eided in organizing the first con
vention of the -great State (I New
York; in' 1855, :_that gave breath to,
the Republican party. I had served ,
faithfully in the old Democratic party.
I had stoodoliylt through good anif
evil report. Iliad given it the ar
dor of my youth and the counsel of
my maturity, and - followed it until I,
discovered _that-it Wai3- boupd head:.
long to a region whither I could 'not
follow. [Applause.] I had"; - there l
fore, felt a pecitliar interest in the
Republican party. From that little
grain `c.kf, mustard seed-I have seen
the tree grow up : with ita-brinches,
tinder will h the nation has been
sheltered. - _- —.-• .
Our Democritio Friends -think that'
the day of its
„glory is inst. : In all
cendor, I hope , be tibia to unde
ceive them upowtha point, `,il assert
t:\
to you, and hope to p eve the asser
tion, that the days of it, glory are
yet to come. This party wig born
of the necessityof the hon It'was
made up of all ::parties: Th,, patri
ots of all ; parties constitute . .%•diy
the bone land sinew,' the - life nd
breathing part of this ‘ nation's pa
riotism. [Applause.] What has it
done? It has not only stayed the.
progress of slavery in <its onward
march into the Territories—it said
"Thus far shalt thou go and no far t
thee—and the majority of a mighty
nation echoed back thit assertio , .
They elected in 1860 a Presid nt
whose name will be honored oolong
'as 'the sons of libeity live, /nd the
hopes of the downtrodd t e7have is
pwation. [Applause.]
Through much tribula tion he stood
forth, and for a„shoryperiod of time
the leader of our mighty armies
fought to main,Oin - \ ar[ republican
foim of government. I need not day
in Philadelphia / how 'long and bloody
that struge y le was. But, sir, when
the last. star of hope grew pale in
this nation, all eyes were• turned in
voluntarily to the Republican party.
[Applause.] That great ,leader
seemed to stamp his foot upon this
favorite Boil, and legions sprang up
to the defence of this happy country.
Through all thin' controversy—and I
assert no more than, he truth when I
assert . that the Democratic party, as
such, furnished no, ready aid in this
nation's stroggle....• [Applause.]
I should be unjust to history did I I
not declare that many, sona of the
Democratic party; and many of i
members clothed themselves all ov , •
with immortal glory in the whole ,
struggle. [Applause.] But they
are men that ioere Democrats, not
that,ure. [Applause.] They have
bee ,washed to:whiteness in the
bleed-, of their fellow-countrymen.
The din of arms has ceased,' and nd
more, , Mr. President, Are you, called
out at' unusual hours by
,the rolling
of the drum, the shrill bugle, -or any '
of the paraphernalia of war. And
yet, sir, this great struggle is not
yet done. It has just only begun. .
[Applause.] The military recon-'
struetlon has been completed. It
now ' remains to be seen whether'
there ,are faith , and fidelity enough
in the oivil arm of the Government
to complete what our soldiers so
nobly, commenced. ' [Applause.]
Eleiten States hsd been- hurled
with - meteoric ":06 , *(0r from their
sphq.es. 3 The inhabitants ,thereof
were:iebels to tide Government, with
few -#ceptions,—They had defied
the power of our Constitution and
tramed it under- their feet. They
s ... -,
mad ,s, new one of their owu and
werg-living by its letter and spirit:
Of cokirse" these -men were not in

was it?To - pofule the means and
measures by will& these rebel States,
with their ii.bahilints, were to be re

- . •
egnes who maks ;this profession
give the soldiers .no nomination in
counties controlled by Copperhead
influences. In Berks, county a sot-'
bier is seldom if ever nominated by
the Copperheads. In York county,
the same pitiful demagogues fail to
recognize the heroes of the war. But
in Lancaster and Dauphin county,
where Copperhead politicians have
no chance,of election, the leaders of
that faction are .very lusty in their
demands that the soldiers must be
recognized. ' When the Republican
party confers a .nomination on a sol
dier, it insures his election. So that
()Ur nominations are not empty com
pliments,.nor a thing to catch votes. ,
We elected Itaitsanft, a soldier, Au
ditor General ; Campbell, a soldier,
•urveyor General ; ,Geary, a soldier,
governor. But a minority party like
e Copperhead organization confers
no honor on a soldier by nominating
him on a plidoim of opposition to
the Union cause and sympathy with
treason,,and in, -a community where
no civilian Democrat could hope to
be elected. The soldiers, who were
not mercenaries in the war, will not
1:oe likely to be bought for a few of-
'ices to favor a cause thoroughly
identified with the enemy they defeat
ed in the field. We will, no , believe
so much ill of the heroes whose
strong arms and stout hearts won
he battle for the free. We see them
dll about in this campaign coining up
cheerfully to sustain the principles
for, which they fought and suffered,
nnwooed by influence and nnbribed
by gain ; and it is the proudest fea
ture in their noble character that
they prefer a Union civilian to a Cop
perhead soldier. The man who at
tested his patriotism by his services
in the war has a perfect right to be
a member of the Copperhead party
if he chooses to do so. The Fonder
is that any - right minded soldier
should so choose. They cannot par
ticipate actively in the Copperhead
organization without knowing its
dangerdus complicity with treason.
Under such circumstances - the true
course for loyal men is to vote against
every Copperhead candidate whether
soldier, or civilian.

Attorn y General, as " the power be
hind the throne." That i ,nototions and
dangerous politician is declared to
be as faMiliar a visitor at the White
Muse as he was when he adirlsed
the Executive that there was no pciw
er in the Constitution to preserve the
Republic from treason .; and it is his,
malignity,added to the demon spirit of
Andrew Johnson, that is giving such
fatal ascendancy to . the resulting
heresy, that the same Constitution
now demands_the restitution to povir
er of the , traitors, ,just driven, , afte,. r
incredible human slaughter and count
less expediture of treasure, from the
batchered body of the Republic,
which is still bleeding from the •
wounds they inflicted, and not yet
rescued from the danger of death:—
How ominous the fact that the man
*ho led James Buchanan to his ruin
should now be in a position to work.
a still • greater wickedness as the
agent and attorney of Andrew John
son 1 And how fearful an echo. to
the rebel cry of fidelity to theGou
stitution, that the heartless plotter,
who, to find a plea for the first rebel
own amid much
lion, construed that instrument into
an approval of the doetrine of seces
sion, is now engaged, with the aid,
and probably under the pay of the
Executive; in proving from the same -
Constitution that the failure of that
secession only increased 'the right of
its authors to a controlling voice-in
the Government 1 , This is the exact
situation of affairs at the national
capital, Ido not over-state the fact
when I add that nothing but, fear of
the consequences will prevent the
President from carrying out the ,
threats, of himself and his associ
ates by resorting to violence to re
store the rebel States to all the rights'
they possessed before they resorted
to arms. Remember,
these threats
are older . than the eonflict of battle.
They were common before secession,
and were freely urged long before
they found a fatal response in An
drew Johnson's treachery. , Indeed,:
it was precisely these threats, utter
ed in time of. peace, after Mr, Lin
coln's election in 18RO, that filled - this
man with holiest indignation, ind,
caused him to separate from the 'par
ty of Bjack and Buchanan. .Tk
dark designs inspired by these airmail:
led to war, and by that war, though
half a million of human souk; ascen
ded to eternal judgment as so many
sacrifices to a rescued country, we
are now told by Andrew Jblinscirt
that the cause of liberty was lost,
and the authors of all this carnage
admitted to a new lease of power.=
It is unnecessary to inquire what lin"
pelled this fearful betrayalof honor
and, of gratitude, of friends and of
country,, We have now to deal with
realities. The hour is one of duty
and of danger. It is no longer a
question of regrets,.bnt of remedies.
What, may happen between now and
the 21st of • November, when Con
gress meets, no good man can tell—
thougla, as I havd said (and as yon
have been, told by others that deserve
because-they have never dishonored,
your full confidence), the worst may
be anticipated. The Presidency has
become a despotism; of which .one
malignant man is the head, surroUnd
ed by reckless satelites like J. S.
Black. The Cabinet is a unit of fear,
of submission. Stanton has been re
moved, the strong arm of the civil
service, and Sheridan. and Sickles
have been cut off from the military
service only because-they ranged to
assist in crowning the traitorp.t Even
Seward'a repeated concessions have
not (Saved him from sitspicion. The
rebelspies fear he may be overcome
by the recollection of his better
years, and demand' his office. 'The'

Contests at the . ballot boa 'are de

people of the South Who armed for
the destruction of the Government
were' whipped on the battle-field.
They resorted to the sword as an
arbiter of differences which,, could
have been adjusted, without its aid,
and they wero defeated. But they
are not satisfied with
.the.overtlirow
in battle , . they are . not - content with
the logic of war. The - ballot 'bolds
now to decide still' further the injus
tice of treason ; the power and abil
ity of those who believe in 'strong
government, It is necessary that
every voter know that there is as
muchloree in a, ballot as in ft bullet
when the. contest is between loyal
men and traitors. The- people of
Pennsylvania must, decide_ with the
-ballot as they did with tie bullet f;
whether or not traitorsehall control'

whether Northern ideas of i,good gov

whether Southern ideas of resistance
