Mr! Grow was warmly greeted upon
taking the chair. His address, ns fol
lows, was methodically but earnestly
delivered aud elicited frequent ap
plause, being greeted with three cheers
at the close:
THE FAVORABLE AUSPICES OF THE
TIMES.
Gentlemen of the Convention : Accept
my thanks for the honor conferred by
the vote just announced. I congratu
late you, and the Republican party
may well congratulate the country, on
the favorable auspices of the times.
Resumption of specie payment brings
with it revived industries, and in place
of the calamities foreboded by the
prophets of evil, there comes employ
ment for idle labor, with still greater
encouragement and brighter hopes for
the future. What the teachers of a
new political economy declared a year
ago to bo a physical impossibility is
to-oay an accomplished tact. The
Democratic party, faithful to its record
for consistency, repudiates, as usual,
the platform of its last convention.
So "the Democratic party as a whole"
now believe, for this year at least, that
labor is entitled to receive for its toil
something better than a promise of
uncertain fulfillment in an intieiinite
future. There are certain great laws
of trade and commerce which the
rantings of political demagogues and
time-servers cannot change; ot which
the most essential, in order to secure
successful and staple industries in ail
times of peace, is that the money used
in the transaction of business should
itself be of real value, or for con von
ience, a representative convertible, at
the will oi the holder, into real value
and that the standard of that lva
value should be recognized as of the
same value bv all who deal in it, or "in
the commodities for which it is ex
changed. Otherwise somebody must
ot necessity be the loser tv its use. A
depreciated or worthless currency is
a representative of the destruction of
value, ot loss, not gam. 'ihe lauorer
who receives a real dollar for his day's
work holds in it t'ne representative of
the value ot a day s work. But it lie
receives a worihfessdollar it represents
loss to the amount ot the value ot a
day's work, so of depreciated money
ot all Kinds to the extent ot the i
preciation. The loss by a defective
standard of value, like worthless
money, falls in the end most heavily
upon those who earn their daily bread
hy uieir tiany ton.
NULLIFICATION AND SECESSION
While the question of currency and
kindred measures, which alleet most
directly the industrial interests of the
country, are still unsettled in its legis
lation, a new political issue is lorced
upon the country in the attempt to
revive some of the old theories ot nul
lification and secession, and thus the
le are called upon to settle at the
people
ballot-
ballot-box and in the forum questions
which everybody had a right to sup-
j.. .ii ..I. j i . .I nil
pose were miaiiy semen in me ueni.
Is there to he no end ol controversy
Is nothing ever to be regarded as
finally settled? Did the ballot-box in
18GG, after fifty years of heated discus
sion, settle nothing? Did the sword
in one of the most gigantic wars of
history settle nothing, unless it be to
clothe the vanquished with power and
authority to make their own terms of
surrender and to nx the conditions
upon which the victors may enioy the
government saved by their valor? The
logic of all wars, especially of civil
wars, if they have any logic ut all. is
that the victors at the close of the con
test have the right to tlx the terms of
surrender for the vanquished and to
settle the policy of administration
which they believe will best promote
the welfare of the country. And the
quished have certainly no cause of
compiuint li me poncy so nxeu ap
plies, as in our case, to the victors
themselves the same as to the van
auished. Unless the sword in four
years of bloody conflict settled forever
that this Is a nation, and that nullifi
cation or secession in any form is not
to be resorted to by any portion of the
American people as a remedy for no
litical ills, then indeed was it a useless
massacre of brave men. There are
only two constitutional methods by
which laws once enacted can be ren
dered Inoperative; the one by repeal;
the other Vv the proper court declar
ing them void. So long as they re
main valid enactments, the claim that
either law-maker, citizen or Mate can
rightfully nullify them by withholding
support, is but a revival or the old doc
trine of South Carolina nullification.
While ft law remainsa valid enactment
It is as much a disregard of duty and
constitutional obligation for the law
maker to roluse the necessary appro
priations of money to make it effective
as it is for the private citizen to disobey
It. The act In both cases Is the same,
and differs only in the remedy. In
the case of the private citizen the
remedy is in the courts, ana in the
case of the law-maker it is in the
ballot-box, by the repudiation at the
polls of a faithless public servant and
of the party that sustains his acts.
THE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS,.
The advent of the Democratic party
to power in one branch of Congress,
after sixteen years' exclusion, waH sig
nalized by their refusing all appropria
Hons of money for the support of the
army. And as soon as they have a ma
jority in both brandies of Congress it is
claimed that too inw-moKcrs may oi
right refuse to apply the money col
lected from the people to the support
of their Government, on the plea that
certain laws are unwise if not uncon
stitutional. This is the mode of re
pealing laws not provided for In the
Constitution, and is revolutionary and
destructive of all forms of government.
This party begins in power in 187!
just whore it ended in ltWl. It ended
then in an opposition to the army and
n refusal to acquiesce in the constitu
tional forms of the Government. It
conies back to legislative power and
begins bv refusing the necessary bui-
port for the army anil by making war
upon the constitutional forms of the
Government. Thus the war of ideas
goes on. The people of the United
States, in order to form a more perfect
Union, establish justice and secure the
blessings or liberty tor themselves and
their posterity, did, in March, 17&!',
establish the Constitution of the United
States as the form of government
which they believed would best secure
these ends. That there might lie no
mistake as to the authority and char
actor of the government which they
established, thev declared in the
seventh article that "this Constitution
and all laws of the United States which
shall be made in pursuance thereof,
and all treaties made or which shall be
made under the authority of the
Unitetr States, shall be the supreme
law of the land; and the judges in
every State shall be noimii uicreny,
anything in t he Constitution or laws
of any State to the contrary notwith
standing." The tribunal which they
established in the Constitution to de
termine whether the laws are made in
pursuance thereof was the Supreme
Court of the United States.
A NATION, NOT A CONFEDERATION.
Among the powers conferred upon
Congress is one "to provide for calling
forth the militia to execnto the laws of
the Union," and each and every State
is expressly prohibited from "entering
into any treaty, alliance or conieiicra-
tion," or "into any agreement or com
pact with another State or with a
lorelgn power." l uc constitution oi
the United States is, therefore, in ex
press terms and provisions, made for
a nation, and not for a con federation.
How. then, did the idea ever obtain
that onv local community could judge
for itself as to the constitutionality ol
the laws of the Government of the
Union, and at will nullify such as it
did not approve? The devotees of
slavery, while it lasted, constantly
seeking greater security and more effec
tive safeguards tor; its perpetuity, be
gan by magnifying the power of the
States, so as to place them us a bulwark,
behind which human bondage could
entrench itself against any possible
action of the government of the
Union. Ih-tlie increase and growth
of the country they foresaw that the
time was not far distant when the Rep
resentatives in Congress from the non-
slaveholding States would outnumber
those from the slavelmiding, and then
their peculiar institution might be en
dangered by iintriendlv legislation
With the keen foresight characteristic
of the representatives of a special or
class interest, the votaries ot slavery,
led by Calhoun, tor nearly a halt cen
tury, devoted all their energies to
creating u sentiment with the "people
of their section, under the disguise
and sugar-coating of State rights, of a
local sectional allegiance, ad para
mount to that patriotism winch
springs from the love of a common
country. In order to alarm the citizen
as to his future security and protection,
the Government ot the L mon, its
capital being outside the limits of the
State, was persistently represented as
a foreign government, not responsible
to the people, ihereiore dangerous to
liberty. Hence the citizen must loot
to the local community in which he
chanced to live for his protection;
when in fact the only subversion of
liberty and the rights ot men In our
whole history has been hy State au
thority and by that alone. The
ideas, born ot slavery, they infused
through thecaucus machinery of party
organization, into the Democratic
parly as articlesof its political faith
on the proper distribution ot the pow
ers of government. The President
and Congress elected by precisely the
same votes that elect the constable and
justice of the peace, each ami all alike
the servants ot the people; the term ot
office of the President not longer than
that or most governors, and that of
members of Congress the same as
the legislators of most of the States;
and every branch of the Government
of the Union, except the judiciary,
amenable to the people and created by
them, the same as are their State or
ganizations, how is it possible for the
Government of the Union to be any
more dangerous to the liberties of the
people than that of the State?
STATE RIGHTS, PROPERLY UNDER
STOOD,
ore those rights of local communities
to form rules and regulations for their
own government as their geographic
or social condition seem to require for
the promotion ot their happiness and
prosperity, not inconsistunt with, or
or in contravention of the powers con
ferred on the Government or the
Union. The condition or right of
suffrage is left to each State to fix as it
pleases, subject only to the limitations
and prohibitions la the constitution
ot the United States. liut when so
fixed, the voter for the most numerous
branch of the State Legislature be
comes a voter of the United States
within the limits of the State of his
residence. It is then as much the duty
of the Government of the Union to see
that he is protected in the full and free
enjoyment of that right as of any other
guaranteed by the Constitution of the
United States. Allegiance by the
citizens and protection by the Govern
ment are correlative duties. The
same authoriety that commands and
appropriates the life and propriety of
the citizen for its defense in time of
peril is bound to protect that life, with
all its rights, and that property, with
all its incidents, against all lawless
attacks wherever its Jurisdiction ex
tends. A government that cannot
command the loyalty of its own citi
zens is unworthy the respect of the
world, and a government that will hot
protect its loyal citizens deserves the
contempt of the world. Where is the
Uibtice in the government using the
life and property of the citizen for its
own protection lu time ol danger, ana
then when the danger Is passed of
turning them over for protection ami
security to any local community, no
matter what may be its character ior
lawlessness or its local ami provincial
prejudices against all persons not to
the manor bom? That would be a
restoration of the old view of States
rights, which gave the local commu
nities the power to make the utterance
of the great truths of the Declaration
of Independence a penitentiary of-
rense and to incarcerate in lonesome
dungeons Christian philanthropists
who gave a crust of bread or glass of
water to the punting fugutivo guilty of
no offense save his love of liberty.
TRUE STATEM ANSHIP.
I am a citizen of the republic of
America, living within the territorial
limits of the State of Pennsylvania;
and, so long os I obey ihe lawsof both,
am entitled to protection for all my
rightsasmon and citizen wherever!
may go within the jurisdiction of the
Constitution and the courts of that
Republic. I forfeit no guaranteed
rights of citizenship by crossing Stale
lines, nor is the Government absolved
from its duty and obligation to protect
me in all rights and privileges secured
or guaranteed by its laws, for hy the
Constitution itself they are made the
supreme law of the land, anything in
(lm f .tu4 i t ii t inn iv ltii-u ff n KUnti' til
the cout wry notwithstanding. 1 owe
no allegiance to any petty local com
munity paramount to that which I
owe to' the Government that guaran
tees to every State in the Union n Re
publican 'form of government and pro
tection against invasion and domestic
violence. The statesmanship that re
gards the local community iu which a
man Is born or in which he chances
to live as wiser and better than any
other, is akin to the self-righteousness
that rejected t he Saviour of mankind
because he came out of Nazareth. In
our political system the (loctriue that
a local community is paramount to
the nation is the'ehitd of American
slavery, and whatever injustice there
might lie in other cases ol visiting t lie
iniquities of the fathers upon the
children there can lie none whatever
in this case, for it has been a Pandora's
box of national ills. The threat of
leading representatives of the Demo
cratic party to undo all that legislation
has enacted to save the Union, in the
night of its lArril, without the consent
of those who saved it, and the still
more violent and inexcusable threat
to witholdJso long as they have a ma
jority in either branch of Congress,
the necessary appropriations oi money
for the support ol the Government oi
the Lniou, unless their particular no
tions of Slates rights are respected, is
akin to the threat made nineteen
years ago to destroy the Union if its
ireemen, in the mode prescribed ny
the Constitution, should elect a Presi
dent of the United States not accepta
ble to them. The men who vowed
then, amid the clash of arms and the
din of battle, that whatever else might
perish it should not be the lree in
stitutions of their fathers, in the
same spirit vow to-day, Hannibal-like
at the altar of their country, by t he
shades of half a million hero martyrs,
sleeping in early graves ; by the sighs
and tears ot an equal number of win
ows and orphans sitting at disconso.
ate firesides ; by the heroic sacrifices
of a nation mourning its unreturning
brave, that those who wrought all this
misery and woe shall not accomplish
in peace what they failed to accomplish
in war.

COLONEL HOOTON'S PRESENTATION OF
CHESTER'S CANDIDATE.
At the conclusion of his speech,
Chairman Grow announced that the
next thing in order was the naming of
candidates for the nomination for
State Treasurer. Upon tills Colonel
Flunk C. Hooton of Chester arose and
said:
Mr. President: I have been re
quested by the citizens and Republi
cans of the county of Chester to place
in nomination before you one of her
citizens. The Republican party of
Chester comity, and the party in op
position to the Democratic party of
Chester county lias at all times, from
the adoption of the Constitution of the
United States until to-day, stood by,
supported and maintained the doc
trines of the Federal Constitution and
the Federal Government. Chester
county eighty years ago was a Federal
county. Chester county in lSiil-2-8,
as you did, sent her men to support
the Federal Government applause
into the Federal army and Federal
navy, under the banner of the Federal
Government Applause. J
We are to-day, and we have at all
jimes been followers of George Wash
ington and of Alexander Hamilton.
We spurn to-day, as we havein nil the
history of Chester county, the doc
trines of secession, State rights, squat
ter sovereignty, rebellion and political
damnation ! Applause. As from
these have come everything that may
to-day damn this country. e tiro tor
the nation, now and lorever.
L pon two occasions only in the his
tory of Chester county have those of
her citizens who were in opposition to
the party of secession and State rights
been honored with positions on the
ticket of Pennsylvania. The first time
Isaac ay ne, the son ot ",Mad An
thony Wayne," was the candidate for
governor by the Federal party of Penn
sylvania, l he second was Joseph J.
Lewis, pjsq., who, in one oi tuo nrst
fights of the Republican "baity of
Pennsylvania, wus one of the candi
dates for judge of the Supreme Court.
Notwithstanding, we have never hesi
tated to poll all the honest votes we
could for the Republican party, and do
what we could tor the perpetuity ot

A PLATFORM THAT MAINTAINS THE
OLD POSITION.
Harrlsburg, July 23. Immediately
after the nomination of Mr. Butler
had been recorded, Hon. Thomas V.
Cooper, of Delaware, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, read the fol
lowing platform of principles:
Henhint, Flrnt. That Hi" Republican party,

Fourth. That the Democratic party, iinvlnif

We come before you again and ask
you to place upon your ticket one of
our citizens as your sraniiant-uearer 111
this contest; an agriculturist a man
who was horn and bred and who still
resides upon a farm, a gentleman who
lias always been active in the Republi
can party, but who has only within
tho last three years appeared before
you as such; a gentleman who, in
187H, was for the first time named as u
candidate for the Legislature and nom
inated by the Republican party; where
the office asked for the man without
his solicitation in any shape or form:
a man who in 1878 was anain o laced
in nomination and sent to the House
of Representatives by the Republican
party, and a man who sustained the
honor and integrity of his entire con
stituency on these occasions. And on
these two occasions he has served with
credit the entire State I name to you,
crentleineu, Hon. Samuel Butler of
Chester county, as a candidate of the
ereut Republican party of Pennsyl
vania for State treasurer. Vociferous
applause ana cueers.j
When Mr. Hooton concluded there
was a round of applause, followed by
a motion of W. C. Huusinger of Cum
berland county that Mr. Butler be
nomiuated by acclamation. The mo
tion was put and carried unanimously
question. This call being seconded hy
the requisite number, the resolutions
were adepted without a single dissent
ing voice.
Mr. Golbiii, of Lebanon, moved
that a committee of live be appointed
to await upon Mr. Butler, inform him
of his nomination, mid escort him be
fore the convention. Adopted, ami
the Chair appointed Messrs. Gobin,
Leeds, Davies, Wolfe and Quay.
A live minutes recess was taken, at
the expiration of which time the com
mittee returned and presented Mr,
Butler to the convention, who was eip
thusiastically received. Ihe nominee
made a brief speech in acknowledg.
ment of the honor conferred upon him.
He accepted the nomination, not as a
compliment to him personally or as a
reward for nartv services, but ns a
compliment to one of the most stead
fast Republican counties in the State
For more than twenty-three years
the Republicans of Chester had been
unwavering in the support of thepnn
ciples and the nominees ot the party
and his nomination lie construed to be
a compliment to them. Our oppo
nents had indulged the hope that the.
mission of the Republican party was
ended, but their hopes had been
blasted. Its mission was not done un
til the fruits of its past victories were
secured. He pledged himself to stand
firm in tho faith, and if called to office,
to discharge its duties with fidelity to
the State.
Mr. Gobin 'then offered a resolution,
which was adopted, presenting Mr.
Butler to the people of the State as a
man of integrity, who would discharge
the duties of State Treasurer with the
utmost fidelity, and to the credit of
tho Commonwealth.
On motion of Colonel Quay the con
vent ion then adjourned sine die.
