men at the South, when their adversaries
were armed, stand uu and resist them
without the aid and assistance of the
general governnient, which was bound
as much to assist them as the citizens of the
cities of the South are bound in allegiance
to the Government. Protection on the
part of the Government is reciprocal with
the debt of allegiance on the the part of the
citizen, and when the government aban
doned the Union men of the Senile and
left them:a prey to the army of conspirators,
they had nn
.right to claim from them the
debt of allegiance.
And on the other hand, my fellow citi
zens, I deny the truth of the statement that
the negroes were loyal to this government
throughout the war, from the beginning to
the end. From the first to the last the ne
groes supplied all the meat, raised all the
breadstuff's with which the army of the
Confederacy were maintained from the be
ginning to the end. They not only did
that. my fellow-citizens, but they dug. the
fortifications; they built the parapets
at Petersburg, at Richmond and
Vicksburg and at Atlanta and tha
other fort fled places upon which the blond
of our brave soldiers was spilled during
the war. They were loyal, my fellow eiti—
zens, to none but their own masters, and
those of them who were caught and Inrced
to put on our uniform and fed at the ex
pense of our government wore put in forts,
where, according to the phraseology of the
Radicals, they "fought nobly." I think
'they made war upon the rations furnished
by the government, and that is about the
extent oetheir services.
As you all know, or many of you do, I
never was in 'Tavor of slavery, although I
lived in a slaveholdin,g State, and I eman
cipated what slaves I hold long anterior to
the war, and when the white livered and
white faced Radicals did not dare to lisp a
word in favor of emancipation; but I never
saw the day, and I never will see the dav,
when I would be willing to sacrifice the
white race, my own blood and kindred, in
order to secure the supremary of the black
race. I now stand for the emancipation of
the white people of the South who have
been enslaved and put under the blacks.
I know that they never have established,
and that they are incapable of establishing
or maintaining any government for
themselves. The Radicals and every
body else kilo a' it. Every man in
this community, any Radical whom
you will ask will tell you that
that be knows full well that these people
have not the intelligence to maintain a re-.
to in o 1 government. They never
ha% e sustained any government, for they
can sustain none. They are now, as they
were when they wer. , first known to histo
ry in Africa, idle, lazy, thriftless and bar-
h a e a us, and, my fellow citizens, to put in
tin it hands the reditical powerof ten StAtES
of thi , Union. and to subject to them the
while race, the enlightened pe6ple of our
own 1:14,:s1, is an atrocious crime not only
against civil government. but Hezainst civil- ;

distingiii , ,hed gentleman. I would be in
cap,dac of sit 3 ing anything deroga_tory to
his character or services. I am willing to
admit everywhere his great services to the
country and to man. But I have a right,
now that he is a public man, ask ng the fa- ;
vor of the people of this count v to advance
him tei a high position, to criticise his pub-
lie acts, known to every one, not down in a ;

States to the Union at the be
ginning of his administration. I know
this by his own declaration, nut his decla
ration to me, but his public declaration. I
know it by the testimony given by him be
fore a Congressional Committee, in which
he deceived that Andrew Johnson's policy
was identical with the policy which had
been determined upon by Abraham Lin
amln before his death and assented to by
Edwin M. Stanton. (Cheers.) The Radi
ce pretend to lament the death of Mr.
Lincoln. If he had lived he would have
taken the same position that Mr. John
son teak wnen ho became President
at Mr. Lincoln's assassination, and we
know this by the testimony of Mr.
Stanton and Gen. Grant. Mr. Stanton tes.
dried that he drew up that famous North
Carodne proclamation under the instruc
tion of President Lincoln, and others tes
tiged that they heard it read in the Cabi
net of_Mr. - Lincoln, and a cry member of
the Cab net gave his a sent to it. General
Grant stated that he Id mself gave his assent
to it as the beat plan by which to cement
the Union. This, my fellow-citizens, is the
view Gen. Grant than held, according to
his own declaration. subs quently he
went to the South, after the war
concluded, and made -a report to
Mr. Johnson, the President of the
United States, in which be declared
that the people of the South accepted the
situation in good faith and sineer 07, and
that he hoped that they would soon be ad
mitted and meet the representat yes of the
North in the Senate a d House of Rep
resentatives. Now, my fe low citizen-,
what reason has since occurred—for this
was after the close of the war—what rea
son has since occurred to make the General.
in-Chief of our armies change hie mind on
this subject • and adopt the vindic
tive policy of proscription and persecu
tion inaugurated by the Radical Congress?
None whatever. But there is a principle o
be found in the instincts, the military in
stincts of men who have had a mint ry
education, and who stand at the head • f
the army. They well unders and that if
this government is made a governmeut of
despotism, as has been inaugurated by the
Radicals, such a government must not rest
upon force ; and if it rest upon force, it
'must give sustenance to those who
are the leaders of that force and the
controllers of the army. Hence It was,
my fellow citiz-ns, that the Commander.in-
Chief of the army, or rather the General , - n
etit,n,
r o
Chief of the army, imbued with em
accepted the nomination upon the Ifhtic)m
of the Radicals and which he, ha. a ,und2 gel

Now, my fellow. citizens , this my ex
planation of the course taken by General
Grant, and without
attempting to derogate
from the high services he has performed, I
do not believe that in consequence of those
