Speech of Gen. Jno. N,Turvia* nee.
- folloWing is the addresi delivered by
..
Gen. John N. 'Elirviance, of 13tttler, at -a
, .
- 114ublitian meeting in the Fifth ward, Al
,
. F
leheny, on Friday evening of last Week :
Fsr..now-CITIZENS: On reading the pa
pers this morning I was much gratified to
see that a eon of the late Stephen A. Doug
las is making speeches for Grant and Col
- fax. Just as he should do, and as his dis-
Ilieguished father would be doing if living.
„
Let ua be animated by the spirit which
prompted the patriotic Stephen A. Douglas
in May, 1861, to lay aside party strife and
to urge upon his countrymen to stand uni
ted; firm and determined, never to permit
the Government to be destroyed. Douglas
then said that when the country should be
in danger his loyalty could be relied on.
And now, as then, if is undeniably true
that the• country is in danger, and that ,
there is no piospect of a peaceful solution
of the difficulties but iu the election of
Grant and Colfax, and the whole civil and
a Militarypower being, confided to the loyal
people of, the nation. Douglas truthfully
said that there never was,a time from the
,- -day •that Washington was inaugurated
~first: President, when the rights of the
Southern States stood tirmer under the
• - la ws of the land than they did when the
rebellion commenced, and he added - that
the secession movement was the result of,
. :art...enormous conspiracy to break up the
Union and destroy. the Government, and
• that in such a crisis there are only two
sides—no neutrality—only patriots or trai
-tors. . And he invoked his countrymen of
all political parties to lay aside all crimina
tions and recriminations as to the ordinary
and minor questions until we shall have
agiiin a country with the United States
• flag floating Oyer it, and raspected an every
inch of,American soil. Has that day yet ar
rived P The Needy deeds of Southern Ku-
Klux -Kiang and other desperadoes Answer
it has not. And if Stephen A. Douglas
^ were living who can doubt but that
his eloquent voice would be heard through
out the nation imploring his countrymen
now, as then ' to rally round the flag of the
country in *firm and united support of the
loyal element of the nation. He
would scorn and spit upon a Wade
Hampton platform and . a Valland
igham ;candidate. He would be the
last man` in the nation . to recognize
the principle, without example in the his
tory of the world, of the conquered dicta
ting the terms of• peace. And such is the
state of things as manifested in the senti
ments of the New York platform, and of
the ruling element that coutballed the pro
ceedings of that Convention. -
Fellow-citizens, as the canvass progresses,
and the issue becomes fully understood, the
true men of the nation feel an abiding faith
and strong conviction that_all our National
trouble, will soon be permanently settled
_,- and peace, prosperity and progress restored
to the nation in the overwhelming majority
which will be given to Grant and Colfax
en the third or November next. We will
then have General Grant's words; in spirit, It
part of the Constitution itself--" Let us have
peaces' "for peace we will have, settled and
firmly established—and every citizen will
fe,el, that travel where he may throughout
every part and portion of the United States,
theft?, of his country wil l he his protection.
ti
The work of recent uctian under the
humane' and just weal res of Congress,
now nearly perfectel, ansoon to be fully
completed by the rester don of the three
i i
remaining States, Virgin, Texas and Mis
sissippi, will pernianent y
inevi
tablyster° union
and peace. Any other co urse would
give new life to the ele eats of dis
cord—protract, if not destroy, the peace of
the nation, and may inaugurate a new re
bellion. l. •
Until peace be established all other ques
tions are of bat trifling significance. Yet,
Horatio Seymour, in the midst of the pend
ing contest, only secondary in magnitude
• to the conquering of rebe lion on the field
• ' =of strife, blows the party horn of taxes and
National debt. "Push the debt and taxa
tion upon the public. attention," and this
has been responded jto until his partisan
' friends, in a fair disenaaion of it, have been
driven to riespair off any aid from such a
system, of party tactics. Met everywhere
fairly on this question they have been forced
:to abandon it as damaging to their cause,
for the toiling millions everywhere know
that whilst taxation falls mainly upon cap
ital, that labor and ail the industrial inter
, eata of the country are almost wholly ex
empt from its burdens: SeVmour had a,
paint to make in urging the "debt and tax
ation upon public attention:" it was to with
draw ilpossiele public attention from his
war rec o rd .. He knew, and no one better,
• -that as President of the so-called Demo
cratic National Convention of 1864, be had
become committed to the treasonable seri-,
timeht, uttered in ;the midst of the war,'
*hen the Union army was enganed in
deadly strife with , rebels, that the war was
a failure. He knevi t that that record of it
self, even so odious that General McClellan;
their candidate, repudiated it, was suffi
. dent to condemn him in the eyes of the
soldier, as well as o f other loyal, patri
otic Men of the nett na He knew - well, too,
that the least said about his opposition to
therightlef the soldier to vote - the better
' forbimselcand his party—that his kind ad
dresS to "the New. York rioters,; at a time
When Grant's gallant army was in the
• `midst of deadly strife at Vickshurg, and
' the noble army of the Potomac fighting the
decisive battle of the war at Gettysburg,
—Would..be a terrible recerd• of dishonor
:to hiM. ,And theremere many other weak
points thit he and,his friend& wished con
, 'signed to ohliviod. The very platform upon
which he now stands,was to receive as lit
tie of "public attention" as - possible. He
• knew weil thit, it contained the three revo
. ' lutionary wor4s'of Wade Hampton--that
all the reconstruction measures of Congress
were orevolatiertary,• unconstitutional and
-void," and in connection with Blair's letter
to Broadhead, could receive no other con
- struetion than a declaration of It renewal of
rebellion with all its destruct lye censequen

nomination air President Upon that plat
form by °lenient L. Vallandighain, who
Was a convicted traitor to his country. lie
knew, too, that the controlling element of
the Convention—for he was its President,
and his ear caught up every movement

members of that Convention, gave tone and

:and true Denteera Jerywhere, who left
them and joined the Republican stand
ard, are now manfully battling for the
right against injustice, oppression and"
wrong. Demodrats,_that fought side by,
side with Republicana on the field of bloody ,
strife, with few exceptions, like the patriotic
Douglas,-in May, 1881, know no p4rty
this contest worthy of their support but
the loyal party of the Nation. And they
'have no trouble to find it when Grant and
Colfax are the chosen leaders. Thousands
of Democrats whose sons and brothers fill
one common grave on the field of strife, or
I perished in rebel prisons with Union Re
publicans, weep their loss, remember the
enemy, , and now for the first time are found
in the great loyal column that Is moving
on to victory, animated with the patriotic
national sentiment that carries Grant into
the Presidential Mansion and Colfax to a
position that enables him, through Com
mittees, to mould and give shape to Na
tional legislation. Such Democrats - deserve
the confidence and respect of all parties
and'all patriotic citizens; for them we have
words of kindnoi-s, sympathy and admira
tion. . _
~....._
When Secession first moved off in South
Carolina, undetthe lead of Calhoun, Gen.
Jackson soon put it down, and if lie had
had his way would have hung its leader.
Jackson, though elected on the Democratic
-ticket, did not hesitate to assert the, power
of the Government to put down Secession
and Rebellion, and did do it by threatening
the use of the whole military power of the
Government to overthrow treason in what
ever form it presented itself. - This was re
garded good Constitutional doctrine in his
day. And it may be truthfully asserted
that he was the last Deniocratic President
elected as such, and under that name,
that has proved true to the people. Polk,
though elected under the popular name
Democrat, disregarded, in the main, the
ptinciples of the party, and was almost
wholly the slave holders' President. Wit
ness his putpOse in the annexation scheme
of Texas and the war with Mexico. Pierce
found himself too weak to resist the same
power, on its demand for the repeal of the
Missouri COmpromise—and BuChanan
paled and trembled before the , same power,
was .forced to ignore the doctrine - of Gen.
Jackson, and concede the right of secession,
or of the total want of power in - the gov
ernment to coerce a State, and preyent a
destruction of tins Government. Hero we
have a full recognition of the Calhoun doc
trine 'and its consequences—war—and ail
in the name of the Democracy.
' And now the _same patty, or rather,. I
should say, a party under the same name,
still remembering its power, rallies at New
'York, and asks the people to vote for their
platform- and candidates, because it is._
. called the Democratic party. Shame on the
man that would at.etnyit , to thus deceive
and betray the people, mid all honor to the
noble, patriotic and intelligent masses who
trample into dust their platform and March
to victory under the National banner—up
held by millions of loyal hands, with Grant
and Colfax in front of the loyal column.
They know Unit the war was defensive, and
to. save a great Government from threat
ened destruction, and they are not now
willing to surrender it' into the hands of
its enemy, whatever name the enemy may
assume.
. We feel no disposition to discuss the.
financial question, tnougti no desire what
ever to shirk it. It is a question that has
been fully and ably dismissed, by many of
our ablest statesmen and thlauciers. ,
It is true we have a large national debt,
and it is equally true that the loyal party
of the nation is not responsible ter, its con
traction—that it was brought upon us by
rebels who attempted to destroy the us
tion=is known by every one here as well
as in Europe. War was made to overthrow
the Constitution and destroy the best gov
ernment on earth. At the beginumg of
the rebellion the nation was almoat power .
less for defense. The navy off in distant
seas, the army in the remotest southern
States, and the Munitions of war almost
wholly in the possession of rebels, the
treasury plundered and the national credit
dishonored—all a part and piece of the gi
gantic conspiracy to break up and destroy
the - goverument; 1 the flag of our country
fired upon, our forts seized and military
property in the ,ands of our enemies.
What, under such, a sta:e of things, was to
be done?- Raise an army ' for defense, bor
row money to buy l l arms and feed and clothe
that army. This was done; bonds we e
issued and other national., securities to an
amount from timnto time.necessary for na
tional defense. This a loyal C4)IIWEgi.S did,
and ' rceived the !commendations of their
loyal eonstituentsor it. Bonds were issued
and put on the market under certain guar
antees of Congresii, to the amount of, say
($20,000,000) twenty millions of dollars, at
different rates of interest, and payable in
different kinds of 1
currency, and it is a fact
worthy of note I ore that the 5-20 bonds,
bearing 6 per cent. interest, payable semi
annually in gold, were so issued by - the
votes of fifty-five members:of Congress,
called Democrats, and among others Mr.
Pendleton, wad without that vote this class
of bonds would not have contained that
clause. Of these bonds six hundred millions
are held in foreign countries. The nation
al banks hold over four hundred millions
and pay annuallY a United States and State
tax of nearly twenty millions of dollars.
Largely the oilier bonda are held by
Banks, InSurance Companies, Col
leges, and other insiitutions of learning or
benevolence, and by trustees and guar
dians for Orphans and minor children, ac
The income tail reaches a large portion of
them, and thus they are taxed.
The interest on too National debt has'
been promptly Paid, and several millions
of it already paid off, leaving at presents
National debt of twenty-hve hundred and
fifty millionsof dollars. Some sixteen hun
dred millions of it is secured by the five
twenty bonds,-which are not demandable
for payment until twenty years after their
date. -
Now, how is this debt to be met and paid ?
"Let us have peace," and with it will fol
low industry, prosperity and progress to
such an extent, and so rapidly, that under
a mild system of taxation, such as we now
have, being upon capital and lukuries, and
not on labor, that it would be, gradually
reduced from year to year, and perhaps
:wholly paid off before twenty years with
out oppressing our people or ; materially af
fecting business and trade.
Questions involving the honor of the na
tion should not be brought into party poli
tics. Harmony of sentiment and action
should tie the purpose and pride of all good
citizens. The National debt was contracted
' for it noble purpose. It was unavoidable,
consistent with unity and national exis
,' term°. Taxation for its payment is'equally
an obligation of honor, and it is the duty
: and business of the smtesinan to devise the
best system to raise the amount, required
by means of taxation so as to make the
burden, in just proportion, rest on those
ablest to bear it. This is just what we think
Congress has done. \ .
There are no taxes levied upon food or
clothing, - on the Frowth \or manufacture of
the country, nor is there'any taxes levied on
-the productions of the faint or the workshop.
Scarcely -an article manufaCtured in the
United States la subjected' to - taxation, ex
cept spirits and tobacco. The , income tax
is so far modified that but few pay s any thing
. under. it, -for,'unless the Income amounts to
over - one thousand dollars, with certain al
lowed deductions, no tax is leiied on - it.
Thousands everywhere escape Income tax •
and those who pay It feel it ne burden be
cause of their large incomes. I -
The duties on imported goods yield . an
nually, in gold; one hundred and sixty-five
millions of dollars, most of. It , paid on .ar
tides of luxuryw -, While theseitilutiea tend
to protect and promote home nianufactares
and give encouragement:to everyrbranch of
industry, they at • the same thine afford a
revenue of over- twenty-five: millions of
dollars more than the interest On the Na
tional debt. The income tax yields annu
ally forty millions. The National Banks
pay, in national and • State; taxes, twenty
millions. The license tax amounts to
twenty millions. The- stamp tax upon
deeds; mortgages, bonds, bank ' checks,
Ac.,iyields seventeen tnillions.l The tax on

spirits and tobacco is estimated to') zyleld
,annitan.r one hundred millions.' The tax
41).*IiirrOadS and other corporations yields
sonitiSeTen Millions, and the taxes upon
carriages ' watches, silver; plate, &c.,
amounts to six mil lions. This • last item
more than pays the Whole expenses of the
Freedmens' Bureau, about which we hear
so much.
Now, we think this a pretty good system
of taxation, and one that falls lightly upon
all; and with the rapid increase of the
country in wealth and .population,
,enter
prise in railroads and other Improvements,
would be sufficient to pay off the whole
debt in less than twenty years. Before the
half that time shall have elapsed, the
national wealth, even at the usual assessed
Value, will not be leSs than fifty billions,
and the population fully fifty millions.
Lot us have peace, and.the .tax question
free from party strife and a few years
the gold dollar will be circulated side by
side 'with the greenback dollar.
Now, Mr. Ssynaeur says, "Push the debt
and taxation upon public att3ntion," and
that at a time when it can have no other
. _
effect but to depreciate the ono and increase
thO other. He is ungenerous to his friends
in one respect, for he gives them:no plan a
ids own. Nor does ho lay down any prin-
ciple for his friends to push upon public at
tention. We may assume, then, that he
has o plan but that laid down by the New
Tor Convention, over which ho presided
an whose icandidate he is. What is ft?
I t - e the tax resolution as I find it in this
ne spaper, published In the city of Pitts-'
lon g
c f
h, galled the Pally Post, of September
11. l 868. f The resolution is in these words:
"Fourth—Equal taxation of everYFMe
cieiof property according to its real value,
including Governrrient bonds and other se
curities." ,
, __
Now; is this what Mr. Seyniour wishes to
gush upon public attention? If so, let us
push it. And lot us .imagine that the Con
gresa.of the United States woe k-pass just
swat a tax Jaw. Let us imagine the hun
dreds of thousands of tax' duplicates that
would have to be Wined, and the hundreds
of thousands of tax collectors. to be aF
pointed, and the innumerable' items to be
placed on the tax list. Every farmer would
be taxed i for his farm, his horses, his
wagon, his plow and harrow, every foot of
' horned cattle on his plantation, the grain
and hay in. the Mow, the hogs and sheep,
the table Upon which is the bread for, him
self and hiS family, the chair, the cupboard
and dresser ware, the beds and bureaus•L—
inshort, eery species of pronerty owned
by him; and that -at its real value: not at
the ordinary valuation made by assessors.
This is the taxation Mr. Seymour invokes.
Now, where is the man that wants It? But
it don't slop here. The mechanic is to be,
taxed with the very articles of his trade, the
clergyman with his library, the doctor and
the - lawyer with theirs, as well as everything
owned by them, the artist with his camera,
and the Merchant with his store goods, and
the manufacturer with every pound of
iron and every yard Of cloth. Such a tax
list. 0! who can imagine its magnitude
over 'the length and breadth of a nation of
tarty millions of people, one of whose States
is larger than all Europe. Yet tins is Mr.
Seymour's plan, or system of taxation, to
which he is pledged and bound by the New
York platform. Lsiok at it, think of it, and
push the tax question upon public atten
tion. This is no imaginary picture: it is
just what the resolution calls for, anil would
lie carried out if Seymour and Blair should
be elpsen the chief Officers of the nation, it
in their power. .
This systontsif taxation may be just what
the rebels want, for it would soon make
taxation odious, s 4 tench so that they ,
would soon get urn an anti-tax party, anti
then push the tax question to repudiation,
if possible, or comptil,ana-sumption of their
debt, under .the Cightti section of their
platiorimw herein they declare t hatit he "re
construction arts (ao-called) of Congress as
usurpations and unconstitutionl, Ivlu tionary and void." Set them aside and
let them.have their way of reconstruction,
-and they will then have gaud d all they 10-t
by the war. Justice and ,truth tiemand
that we should say that Mr. Seymour is in
terrible had company.' and stands on an
awfully rickety and dangerous platform,
one that threatens ruin and ,I,•s ruction to
the nation.
Gen. Grant needs no eulogy at the hands
of anyone. History ~vill do him justice,
and the great events of his life will place
him first among the great Generals of the
world, not second in greatness to Napoleon
and equal to Washington.
Called like Washington from the civil 1
pursuits of life, when the first sound of i
strife was heard, his record is one of con- i
tinuous increasing fame from the beginning
of the war until its c'ose. And whether '
we view hirctquietly performing the duties
of mustering officer at Springfield, or as ,
colonel of a regiment, or follow him in his
promotion to the highest Military oflics in
the ooVernment, We find him alike in all
positions, true to every trust, and great in
every position. Promotion with him was
no- sought for either personally or through
friends, and never excited envy, but
universal admiration throughout the whole
army, because fairly won and voluntarily
conferred for distinguished services. And
the further proniotion now soon to be con
ferred upon him, alike unsolic.ted, will
silence opposition in every. section of the
country, and secure tranquility to the
nation.
Whilst We feel confident that Mr. Soy
mour'm policy of agitation on the debt and
and tax question will never give repose and
peace to the country, we believe that a so
lution of all ournational difficulties is found
in the admirable words of General Grant,
"Let us have Peace." - .
