THE CAMPAIGN.
Grand Mass Meeting—Three Thousand
Republicans' in Council—Speech of
Mon. John A. Bingham, of Ohio.
The campaign in Allegheny county
has been opened lively by the•Republi.
cans, and the enthusiasm is far greater
than was thought possible a few weeks
since. The masses appear to be fully arous
ed to the importance, of the contest, and
determined to fight the battle with re
newed vigor.
The grand mass meeting in the Alle
gheny Diamond last night, was snucti
larger than was anticipated, there being
over three thousand persons present,
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
A comfortable speaker's stand f was
erected on the west side of the Third
Ward Diamond Square, sufficiently
large for the speakers, officers of the
meeting, representatives of the press and
the band. The Germania-Turner Band
was present and discoursed excellent
must; until the meeting was organized.
Hon. John A. Bingham, the speaker,
arrayed in the city at 11 o'clock A. at ,
Depot, by James Mcßrier, Esq., Hon.
Jas. L. Graham, and Col. George Morgan,
Conamittee t h er, and was es
corted to;Mognongahela House.
At half-past six o'clock the Second ward
Geary Vint, met at.Wilkins' Hall, where
they were equipped and formed in line.
after which they marched to the Monon
gahela House, and, headed by the Great
Western Band, escorted the speaker, who
was accompanied by the Chairman of the
County Committee, W. S. Parviance,
Esq., and other prominent citizens in
carriages, to the Allegheny Diamond,
where the meeting was held.

thanked the meeting for the honor con
ferred on him. He said he was not in •
condition physically to make a speech,
but he had a much more agreeable task
in introducing a gentleman who could
entertain the meeting much better than
he could hope to.do. He then, with a
few complimentary remarks, introduced
HON. JOHN A. BINGHAM,
Mr. Bingham said:
Fellow Citizen—l; appear before you
this eveninito take council on important
public affairs. He was not here to say
hard things about any one, but to speak
of principals of vita l . importance to the
republic, if be should happen to say any
thing that seemed hard, be hoped it
would not be taken as an offence.
By the creative power of public opin
ion American principles came to be
what they are to-day, and by the same
power they must be sustained.
In the nature of the case, whatever
may be the divisions of the people on
minor questions, on the great questions
of the integrity of the Union and the
supremacy of the Constitution there can
l be but two parties—the party for the
Union and the Constitution and the
party against the Union and the Consti
tution.
After all the people of this country
have suffered in the contests of these late
years, to suppress rebellion and maintain
the unity of the Republic, it is time that
our citizens should count it a crime to
give their support to any party which in
the past aided secession and insurrection,
and in the present conspires against the
just Government of a free people. Sneh
is the past and_present positions of the
Democratic party. The record of that
party is understood by well-informed
people to be the record of the party that
organized and supported the late rebel
lion. •
The party thus guilty befOre the tri
bunal of history of the great crime of
the century—the relarllion inaugurated
by arms in '6l, and crushed by arms in
'6s—has the audacity in '69 to put. In
nomination candidates to represent. not
the country, and support not the coun
try's laws, but to represent the "lost
cause" and to enforce. through the in
strumentality of the ballot, the same•
principles of disorganization of die
union, of disregard of the resistance to
laws, as were represented in the late
conflict by the bayonets of organized
treason. Ido not mate this charge too
strongly. In support of it allow me to
_aek, and demand an answer of any
Democrat present, when and where
this party, at any time from the corn
mencenieut, in 1861, to the close of the
armed conflict in 1865, ever authoritative
1y declared, either by resolution in Po
litical convention or by legislative en
actment in the national or State councils,
that secession from the Union by the
action of a State wet unconstitutional
and forbidden by the people's law, or
that.the defense of the constitution, thus
imperiled by State secession or armed
rebellion; was constitutional!
Who does not know that the sum total
of all the acts of the modern Democratic
party; officially proclaimed is that it is
unconstitutional to defend the Constitu
tion by arms against State secession and
armed rebellion.
With this statement I might rest the
the issue now pending between the party
of the Constitution, the Union and the
laws, and thepattg of secession, rebellion
and treason.
We are told that the Republican party
has aocomplehed its mission and should
disband, but I answer never, never
while the Democratic party is in eats
tone% The Republican party is made
tip of the intelligent representative men
or the nation. It has saved this beauti
ful country which God gave to our
fathers and they transmitted to us. In
their efforts for the salvation of the na
tion they were met by the old dogma of
DemocraCy that it was unconstitutional
to defend the Constitution.
The rebellion was inaugurated because
the honest, true-minded men of the
North saw fit to elect Abraham Lincoln
to the Presidency. The Democratic par
ty, which pretended to be the party of
the working men, raised this rebellion
because a working man had been eleva
ted to the Presidency of the United
States. It 'was a Democratic rebellion.
No Democratic State Convention or rep
resentative in Congress ever pronounced
the rebellion unconstitutional.'
' Abraham Lincoln did not forget in the
great hour of the nation's troubles to
maintain lioriolate the Constitution. The
war went on. Dayj by day, week by,
week.' Incitith — by - mouthV and yhar by
year, we were met' by rttiej)eracgratio
prrronbill strer*Rtie 4,0;
PartY wU the answer *ghat you can't
oonquor this rebellion," "the war is a
failure," &a George H. Pendleton, in
his place in the House of Representa
tives, on the 18th of January. 1881, when
only four States had seceded, declared
against their coercion as unconstitutional
and impracticable, and added: "If yon
cannot conciliate them, then, gentlemen;
let'the seceding States depirt in peace;
let them establish their government and
empire." "This Union is a confedera
tion of States." "Money, arms, blood,
will not maintain this Union.r , he peo
ple, by their great uprising, and by their
valor and virtue, demonstrated that
armies could maintain the Union against
armed rebellion. Every man who had
voted the Democratic ticket since that
assertion was made had voted to sustain
those opinions.
The Democratic party attempted to
establish an Empire on this continent by
the Democratic rebellion, but it was
foiled and its adherents dispersed' by
Ulysses 8. Grant and his gallant army
on the sth of April, 1885.
THE NATIONAL DEBT.
First, my countrymen, there is im
posed upon us a great debt, contracted
in the war for the Union, and for the
suppreasion of the rebellion. The debt
was imposed upon ns by the treason of
the Democratic party. That party made
this debt a necessity. That party by its
Platform declared . that it was unconsti
tutional to defend the Constitution, and
thereby aided and abetted secession and
State revolt. And when the rebellion
was inaugurated the party in State Con
ventions, by resolution, gave it counten
ance and support, and sent to the Cen
gross of the nation men who declared,
"not a man or a dollar in support of the
witr for the Union!" and proclaimed
' , secession a fact accomplished, and that
it is violative alike of the genius and
spirit of the ConstitutiOn to coerce seced
ing States."
It is surprising, with .assurances like
these, that eleven Statbs passed ordi
nances of secession and agonized armed
revolt? Is it surprising that to suppress
a rebellion, so gigantic in its proportions,
actively supported by the Democratic
party in the South and in the North, and
ny the representatives of European des
potism, required a great-expenditure of
treasure and life ? Did it not follow, as
necessarily, as effect follows cause, that a
great debt must be contracted to support,
for four years, an army numbering mil
lions of men? The whole expenditure
in this war for the Union was not less
than thirty-five hundred million dollars,
more than ten hundred million of the
principal of which, together With
the interest on the whole ; deht
has already been collected and paid
by the agency of the party of
Abe Union and the Constitution, the re•
sistance of the Democratic party to the
contrary notwithstanding. To this end
the'enormous revenue was collected of
from four hundred millions to five hun
dred millions of (Whirs annually into
the Treasury. The debt has been re
duced below twenty-five hundred mil
lions of dollars, only two millions of
which is interes t bearing,and the reassert
have never been required to pay a dollar
of-it, but it was collected from the Itixtv
ries of life and the necessities were not
taxed.
These great results, without a parallel
in human history, have been achieved,
not only without oppression - of the
masses, but without affecting them. The
toiling millions know right well, what
ever may be said to the contrary, that
through all the years of conflict with re
bellion, and from the day of the surren
der to Grant, in 1865, to this hour, they
never were more prosperous, and never
received more remunerative returns for
their productive industry.
With this result before the American
people, forty-three millions of this debt
paid since the inauguration of Grant on
the 4th of March last ro , this party calling
itself Democratic, ppose to repudiate
the unpaid balance of this debt, which is
a part of the price contracted to be paid
for our national life.
To prevent this proposed repudiation,
the Republican party had submitted au
amendment to the National Constitution
providing that every dollar of the debt
should be paid. The Democracy hold
that it was unconstitutional to amend the
Constitution.
IMPARTIAL SUPPROR.
I now ask your attention to another is
sue kindred to this, which has been
thrust upon you by this so•called Deino.
cratlo party—that is, whether the Gov
ernment of the United States shall be
what it is intended to be, tee govern
-went of the whole people d or the govern
ment of only a part of the people. The
great Apostle of the Nazarene, eighteen
hundred years ago, declared that .God
bath made of one blood all nations Of
men." From that day to this a conflict
has gone ou between the friends of equal
and exact justice to" all men,
of civil government made ny the
people and for the people, and the
friends of injustice and oppression of
the right of the few to rule the many,
and especially of the blasphemous as
sumption that one man may of divine
right, rule the millions, and demand of
them allegience in all things to himself
and" to his posterity forever—not mere
ly fora day, or a year, but forever,
until empires and nations perish, and
men shall be no longer upon the earth!
Against this monstrous assumption
every pulsation of tbe human heart is
and over has been a- revolt. This groat
result of free representative grovern
mene In America was not achieved
without centuries of sacrifice and pre
paration in the Old World. Even the
discovery of the new heritage of
L
dom was rewarded with chains and
captivity.•
The experiment was begun and thus
far has continued, relying moiety upon
the consent of the people, and
proclaiming - to all the world that the
only legitimate aloof civil government
wrong men is to protect each and all
alike in those rights of life and liberty
which are the gift of God and as univer
sal as the race.
In this land of ours, men and citizens
were by the corruption of the European
system, made slaves. In the consuming
fires of the late great conflict for Union
and liberty, every letter binding human
limbs was turned to dust, and to-day the
Republic refuses to bear upon its soil a
single slave.
The speaker discussed at length the
Fifteenth Amendment and referred to
the dlyinion of the Democraey on the
question. In Tonneaus) and Virginia be
said, they thougnt a negro as good as a
white man in Pennsylvania, but .the
Pennsylvania Democrats &Oared that
. the negro had no 'rights under the Con
stitution. •
He then referred to the proposed finan
cial policy, the free trade doctrines dm,
and said that-every proposition made by
them tended to repudtation. We regret
Chat a want of space prevents us from
publishing his arguments at length, as
they were forcible and eoncluslye.
ooNot.usiom:
I submit, in ooncluding, all that I now
desire to say, that it must be appalrent
that the men of, the parties who Persil*
in repudiating the debt contracted in the
nation's defense, and in denying the
right 'of ihe people to so amend their
Constitution of Government as to ;acute
justice and liberty to all,. are simply. de•
nying the imprescriptible right9f the . ,
WOO to 1107•01 the:sways* by just laws
protacting the rightt of each ' by the com
bining power of all. Equality before the
law,' and justice to -all,- constitute the
rock of your safety and defense. Stand,
upon this, and you are invincible. Aban
don it, and you are lost. Just principles,
essential to the safety of States and men,
persistently adhered to and emboaied in
the public opinion and written laws of
the plople, are mightier than armies,
and sooner or later must triumph over
all opposition, whether resisted by one
or many—the single usurper or the
usurping million.
America has a high and noble mission.
That mission is to illustrate by equal
laws the wisdom and ‘beneficence of just
government administered in the inter
ests of all, and for the, security and hap
piness of all. -
To make good this grand and noble ex
periment of representative governiment
so happily begun, it Is only needed that
the peope maintain " the supremacy of
the Constitution, perpetuate the unity of
the Republic, exercise the right of local
government under the Constitution and
in subordination to the Constitution in
the seve7al States of the Union; secure
equal and exact justice to all-men, and
take care not to permit any party to con
trol the legislative power of this country
whichggould dishonor the nation and im
peril its existence by repudiating its con
tracts, by denying equal justice, and by
disturbing that policy which gives to all
the children of the land, without money
and without privet, the means to acquire
that knowledge which is power, and
which, allied to a virtue, constitutes - the
strength, the safety and the glory of a
free people,
Demise of an Old Citizen.
It becomes our duty to announce the
death of one of our oldest and most re
spected citizens, Mr. JAKES MARSHALL,
which eccurred suddenly, from heart
disease, Thuisday afternoon at half past
one o'clock, at his residence on Stockton
avenue, Allegheny City. He was in his
usual good health an hour before.
Mr. Marshall was born in Ireland
about 1802, and resided in Pittsburgh
since 1823. He commenced business
here as a retail grocer and afterwards
carried on a wholesale grocery
on Liberty street. He next be
came a member severally of the firms of
Marshall, Wallace & Co.. Marshall,
Bradley & Co., and Marshall & McGeary,
in the Franklin Foundry—his partners
retiring from that business and Mx. M.
continuing it—and was also senior mem
ber of the firm of Postley, Nelson &
Co. He was conspicuous as one
of the founders of the Farmers Deposit
Bank, its President for a series of years
up until his death, also an insurance
company director. and otherwise largely
engaged in the mercantile, manufac
turirig and banking business in Pitts
burgh and Allegheny City. For many
years he was a member of Allegheny
Councils, serving repeated terms as Pres
ident of the Select branch, end was ever
regarded se a most faithful, judicious,.
careful member, having at heart the wel
fare of the city, and taking a prominent
part in the administration of its affairs.
His proverbial devotion. energy and tact
in whatever his attention was engaged,
and his unswerving probity of character,
rendered him a man of mark in all the
relations of life, commanding the esteem
of his fellow citizens.
He was Long a member of the Young
Men'a Bible Society of Pittsburgh, also a
Sabbath school teacher and Superinten
dent, and formerly a member or the
First Reformed Presbyterian Church,
r i
(Dr. John Black's), but atterly of the
First Presbyterian Chu ch, (Dr. Scb
virs). 'R. tne Dixmont oapital he was
a large contributor, acid
_served as a di
rector of the institution.
He was a brother of Hon. Thomas M.
Marshall and Archibald Marshall, Esq.,
and uncle of Major A. M. Brown. He
was twice married, and leaves a widow
and three children.
The funeral will take place on Satur
day afternoon, from his late residence.
Washington and lefleroon College.
Speaking of the- determination of the
friends of Jefferson College to test the
constitutionality of the Act of Assembly
providing for its removal to Washington,
the Washington Reporter says:
. "The
question to be determined by the United
States Court is whether the provision of
the Federal Constitution, which provides
that no State shall impair an existing
contract, has been violated, and by the
Supreme Court whether the clause in the
Constitution of Pennsylvania, reiterating
the same, was violated by the Act of As
sembly. One thing in Ihe proceedings
strikes us as very singular, and raises an
inquiry to whicn we can find no satisfac
tory answer. It is why it should be
deemed necessary to the a bill in the
District Court, and three bills in te Su.
preme Court, all involving jpe h same
question. We do not desire to criticise
the action of the Jefferson College ~couns
el, but it really looks to us as if they
were not very clear in the matter and
were purposely scattering their shots to
meet possible contingencies. We do not
know how it
whichppa in law, but in
bunting—of we have had some
experience—it would seem like station
ing sportsmen all around a covert under
the supposition that there was game in it
somewhere, and if one missed another

to the jury, read the section In the Penal
Code under which it was drawn.
Mr. Swartzwelder then offered the Ap
pearance Docket in the Court of Common
Pleas to prove that a stilt hid been •
brought by Daniel O'Neil against Jas. B.
O'Neil John W. Pittock and Jas. Mills.
Mr. Hampton objected to theadmis-
Mon of the docket, alleging that the origi
nal papers in the case were the best evi
dence of the fact to be proven.
The Court overruled the objection and
the evidence was admitted.
A witness was then called and shown
a copy of the Pittsburgh Dispatch' dated
February 25th,. '69, containing the al
leged libelous article, which he testified
he had purchased at the office of the
Dispatch.
James B. O'Neil, the prosecutor, was
then called, and swore to having received
the paper from the former witness.
Court then adjourned.
The Freshet.
•
•
As was anticipated by dispatches, the
heavy and incessant rains of several
days at the head . waters of the Alle
.
gheny had the effect of causing a freshet
in that turbulent stream. Yesterday the
river began to rise at this point, the flood
having reached here, and last night the
pier marks 'indicated a height of eigh
teen feet. Considerable damage was
done at the headwatereof the Rood, but
so far the loss at this.point is very much
lighter than was expected.
So far as we have heard, the principal
damage was the sweeping away of the
piers, partially completed , for the new
Ewalt street bridge. The stone work had
been built on heavy timbers, which had
not been firmly secured in place. The
freshet swept the whole affair 'down the
river to the Smoky. Island =bar, where it
left them. They can besegired.
The; two free bath houses were also
swept away. One of them lodged on the
bar, and the other war carried by the
current of back water around on the
Monongahela to the bridge, where it was
secured.
A number of fiats, logs and small raft..
were carried down stream, but the
greater portion of them were secured
and the loss will be comparatively light
in this respect. The river was at a stand
still last night here, and as it had began
to recede slowly at Oil City, no more
danger is feared. '
A lot of rafts, twelve to fifteen in som
ber, broke loose from their moorings at
Herr's Island during the afternoon and
floated off. Some of them struck the
piers of the Mechanics street bridge and
were brozen up. The others were guide d
through by men in skiffs and landed
below the city. The rafts contained at
least two hundred and fifty thousand'
feet of lumber and were owned by
Messer& Ormslear it Black, Allegheny
city, and John Yost, Maboning.
The Humboldt Concert
Promises to be the great event—in the
way of amusements—of the season. The
very.best available local talent, both in
strumental and vocal, has been engaged,
and a combination is thus made such as
has rarely if ever before been made in
the city. We are inforthed also that the
tableaux of the Turners are expected to
quite out-do any of their previous beau
tiful exhibitions. The first tableaux—
The Battle of the Titans—is to be a re
production of the famous group by
Hauck, the great sculptor of Berlin, who
made the still more famous recumbent
statue in the mausoleum of Queen Lou
isa, of Prussia, and who was a friend of
Humboldt.
It may be . well to recall the fact, here,
that the Titans were the sons of Heaven
and earth, and were named Oceanus,
Coeus, Crins, Hyperion, Japetus, and
Fronos, or Saturn, all of whom were con
fined in'the earth by their father who
feared them. Their mother produced
iron, and armed with thin they attacked
their father and achieved their freedom.
Their further history, and especially the
war which Jupiter waged successfully
against his father, , and the other
Titans is thoroughly Saturn known and requires
no mention - here.
The Apotheosis of Humboldt will be
presented by the Turners in three scenes,
opening into each otter. • First will be
presented the , four quarters of the
world personified, then the arts and
sciencesgurroundhlg a bust of the great
philosopper, and finally America honor- .
ing his memory. We do not attempt a
ditcription, because we have not the
spade, but we think we present points
enough to show that both the tableaux
will be rarely beautiful.
• Among the former possessions of Peter
McCauley, residing in Monongahela City,
was a game fowl, a direct importation
trim foreign climes and the hero of
many exciting contests with his species.
Peter valued the fowl highly, inasmuch
as he his often doll heard to say that
no man , s twentyrs would buy him.
Sometimes the most highly prized treas
ures are taken away, and so it was in
this case, By sOme_unknown and mys
terioua means the fowl, game and all as

Peter was at a* loes to account for this;
and earnestly investigated until he at ,
last thought a mlue had been obtained,
and to facilitate his further proceedings
he lodged informatioa yesterday, before
Alderman Ms:Masters, against "Ned"
