WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1863 FOURTH OF JULY IN NEW YORK. SP BECH 0 F GOVERNOR HORATIO SEYMOUR, BEFORE THE Democratic Association, at the Academy of Music FELLOW-CITIZENS : When I accepted the in vitation to speak with others at this meeting, we were promised the downfall of Vicksburg, the opening of the Mississiptpi, the probable capture of the Confederate capital, 4 and the ex haustion of the rebellion. By common con sent all parties had fixed upon this day when the results of the campaign should be known, to mark out that line of policy which they felt that our country should pursue. But in the moment of expected victory there came the midnight cry for help . from Pennsylvania to save ire despoiled fields from the invading foe, and, almost within sight of this great commer cial metropolis, the ships of your merchants were burned to the water's edge. Since that time I have occupied every hour, to the point of physical exhaustion, to rally our troops to the rescue of an adjoining sister State, (tre mendous applause ;) to organize the militia of our own State for our defense, and to plane New York in that condition of dignity and power which a great State should ever hold that truly veer ects its own rights. (Great ap planse.) I have concerned myself with those measures that I thought were calculated to protect the commerce of this great city. I stand before you, then, upon this occasion, not as one animated With expected victories, but feeling, as all feel who are now within the sound of my voice, the dread uncertainties of the conflicts which rage around us, not alone in Pennsylvania, but along the long line of the Mississippi—contests that are carrying down to bloody graves so many of our fellow-coun trymen, so many of our friends—that are spreading renewed mourning throughout this great broad land of ours. Under circumetan-- ces like these I shall allow to go unnoticed many topics upon which I meant to speak on this occasion. They might seem to jar with the solemnity of the occasion. They might not be in keeping with the feelings which now press on each breast of ours. ' But there is one subject to which even now I feel it my duty to call-your attention. There is one appeal that I want now to make to this whole community, irrespeCtive of party, and I pray that you may hear that appeal. A few years ago we stood before this com munity to warn them of the dangers of sec tional strife, but our tears were laughed at. At a later day, when the clouds of war over hung our country, we implored those in au thority to compromise that difficulty, for we had been told by a great orator and stiteemas, Burke, that there never yet was a revolution that might not have been prevented by a com promise.made- in e. timely and 13 -.......rut-inan t Ureat applause.) Our prayers were unbeed,d. Again, when the contest was opened, we in voked those who had the conduct of affairs not 1 to underrate the power of the adversary—not I to underrate the courage and resources, and endurance of our own sister States. All this warning was treated as sympathy with trea son. You have the results of those uuhecded warnings and unheeded prayers; they have 1 stained our soil with blood; they have carried I mourning into thousands of homes, and to day they have brought our country to the very verge of destruction. Once more I come before you, to offer again an earnest prayer, and bid you to listen to a warning. Our country is not only at this time torn by one of the bloodiest wars that has ever ravaged the face of the earth, or of which his tory gives an account, but, if we turn our faces to our own loyal States, how is it there? Do you mat find the community divided into polit ical parties, strongly arrayed against each other, and using with regard to each other terms of reproach and defiance ? Is it not said by those who support more particularly the administration, that we who differ honestly, pa triotically, sincerely, from them with regard to the line of duty, are men of treasonable purposes and traitors to our country? ("Hear, hear.") But on the other hand, is it not true that many of our organization look upon this administration as hostile to our rights and liberties; look upon our opponente as Men Who would do us wrong in regard to our most sa cred franchises? I need not call your atten tion to the tone of the press or to the tone of public feeling, to show you how, at this mo ment, parties are thus exasperated, and stand in almost defiant attitudes to each other. A few years ago we were told that sectional strife, waged in times like these, would do no harm to our country; but you have seen the sad and bloody results. Let us be admonished now in time and take care that this irritation, this feeling which is growing up in our midst, shall not also ripen into civil troubles that shall carry the evils of war into our very midst and about our own homes. Now, upon one thing all parties are agreed, and that is this: Until we have a united North we can have no sue meal lear. Until we have a. united, harmo nious North we can have no beneficent peace. How shall we have harmony? How shall the unity of all patties be obtained ? I wish to say a few words to you upon this point, which, I firmly believe, is one of the most important considerations to who I could . call your at tention. Is harmonz jo be coerced? I appeal to you, my Republicnfi friends, when you say to us that the nation's life and existence hangs upon harmony and concord here, if you your selves, in your serious moments, believe that this is to be produced by seizing our persons, by infringing upon our rights, by insulting our homes, and by depriving us of therm cherished principles for which our fathers fought, and to which we have always sworn allegiance ? (Great applause.) I do appeal to you, my Re publican friends, and beg that you will receive this appeal in the earnest and patriotic spirit which prompts me to make it. I appeal to you if you are not doing yourselves and your country a great wrong when you declare that harmony and unity of parties are essential to save the nation's life, essential to the highest interests of our land, and yet stigmatize men as true and honest as yourselves, and whom proved to have been wiser, too, experience has as men who do not love their country, and who are untrue to her institutions ? How, then, are we to get this indispensable harmonythis needed unity ? It is not to be obtained by trampling upon the rights ; it is not to be obtained by threats ; it is not to be obtained by coercion; it is not to be obta,ined by attempting to close our lips when we would utter the honest purposes of our hearts and the warm convictions of our judgment. But, my Republican friends, there is a mode by which it can be reached; there is a mode by which the nation's life can be saved ; there is a mode by which, in the end, we will restore this Union of ours, and bring back those glori ous privileges which were so wantonly thrown away. We corneae you in no spirit.of arro gance. We do riot come to you asking you to make any concesdion of advantage to us. On the contrary, we only ask of you, holding in your hands and in your control almost all the political power if your country, to exercise it according to ytlur chartered rights. (Tre mendous apple*.) We only ask that you shall give to us that4hich you claim for yourselves, and that which every freeman, and every man who respects hiinself, will have for himself— freedem Of speech, the right to eaereise all the franehiate . eooferred by the Constitution upon an American. (Great applause.) Can yon safely deny us these things ? Are you not trampling 'upon us and upon cur rights, if you • refuse to listen to such an appeal? Is it not revolution which you are thus creating when you say that our persona may be rightfully seized. our property confiscated, our homes en tered ? Are you not exposing yourselves, your own interests, to as great a peril as that with which you threaten us ? Remember this, that the bloody and unreasonable and revolutionary doctrine of public necessity can be proclaimed by a mob as well as by a - government. (Ap plause.) Remember all the teachings of his tory ; and we itoplore you, with regard to your own interests, to stop and inquire if you are not doing yourselves and your own fatuities, aad all that you hold dear to you, an infinite wrong when you sustain propositions that tear away from theni, as well as from us, all the pro• tections which the Constittition 01 your country " has thrown around public liberty. (Great ap plause.) Can yon tell when ambition, love of plunder, or thirst for power, will andboe bad and dangerous men to proclaim this veryprioci ple of public neck Belly, as a reason why they should trample beneath their feet all the laws ofour land and the institutions of our country? I ask you again to think if measures like thpse give power, dignity, or strength to our Govern vim 7 I ask you, on the other hand, if these governments have not lived out the longest periods, which, in times of -public danger, in stead of shrinking back from the principles of liberty and the barriers of order, have raised aloft these great principles, and battlednunder them, and thus given strength to the hearts of the people and gained the respect of the world ? (Applause.) I ask you if it is not an evidence of weakness, defeat and discomfiture, when, in the presence of armed rebellion, the adminis tration is compelled to assert that the very charter by which it holds its power has ceased to have a virtue that can protect a citizen in his rights ? Suppose we accept this doctrine, what will be the consequences to this governments. To day the great masses of conservatives who still battle for time-honored principles—for char tcro principles of government, amid denunei tion, and contumely, and abuse, are the only barriers that stand between this government and its own destruction. If we accept to-mor row this teaching—it we to-morrow should acquiesce in the doctrine that in time of war Constitutions are suspended, and laws have lost their force, then we should accept a due trine that the very right by which the govern ment administers its power, has loot its virtue, and we would be brought down to thelevel ee -arielli-oir itself, haiing an existence only by virtue of- material power. Would not a vital blow be struck to liberty? If we should ac cept this doctrine, what would be the conse quence ? When men accept despotism, they may have a choice as to who .the despot will he. The struggle then will not be, shall we have constitutional liberty ? But having ac cepted the doctrine that the Constitution has lost its force, every instinct of personal ambi tion, every inallnoS of personal security, will lead men to put themselves under the protec tion of that power which they suppose most competent to protect their persons. And then this administration would find that, in putting military rulers over us they had made military masters for themselves; for this war teaches us that the general who will betray the liber ties of the people for the purpose of gaining the favor of power, will, when opportunity occurs, seize power itself. (Applause.) I came here to-day to appeal to you, who may be politically opposed to us. Don't do yourselves a - wrong. Don't do your own ad ministration a wrong, and push us from that position which we are trying to hold. Do not use abuse and contumely against our parsons, and threats againet our poorly, because we stand up to say that you, and we, and all shall have out rights ; because we stand up to say, your houses shall be sacred; because we stand up to say, the family circle shall not be entered, 1 am p in English parlance, every man's home shall be his castle, within which he is safe from intinsiOn. (Applause.) Why, what is the glory of a people and the glory of a nation? it ii not the magnitude of its power ; it is not the extent of its dominions. It is the fact that the humblest home is safe under its pro tectlcn. The proudest boast ever uttered by Bribm's proudest statesmen was this—not of tuella' achievements—not of the triumphs upon the field—not of that wonderful domin ion hen which the sun never sets—no, it was ' this abet the -British monarch could never eii terwithout permission the humblest home in the litld, although its broken ceilings might give ti t : scanty shelter to its humble inmates. (App • se.) Foi'what are governments constituted but for thit? not for diminion, not for grandeur, but in order that these great ends might be reach4t; that every man should enjoy the rights if person rind security of home, and freedoh of conscience and the enjoyment of his praerty, subject to the laws. These are the get; objects of government; and any gov ernmen, and any system that comes short of this, faze in its objects; and any declaration that mails or endangers these great objects is treason gainst human rights. (Applause.) But, i is said there is a law of necessity that in timestke these suspends our Constitution— that wads. unfavorable to liberty. It is not true. Lzerty was born in war, it does not die in wr. (Great Applause.) Liberty was wrought'ait in the battle field. That wonder ful peopl who founded this great State—the Tlollandes, who for eighty years battled against te martial laws and martial pewers of Spain, mile it a principle which sustained &tem during tht long contest, and enabled them to render thir history glorious in the annals of mankind. Were personal - rights and personal liberties espended by our own forefathers du ring our evolutionary contest? You beard the word of that Declaration of Independence, which. sail that men had a right to trial by jury ; ththe military authority should never be exalts above the civil. jurisdiction ; that ti men shou, not be transported abroad for trial —(tremenous applause)—that they should have all to rights and privileges known to English jOsprudence and English law; and yet to-daywe are told that the men who put forth thatd, eelaration of rights and of inde pendence 'mid the roar of battle, when our nation watistruggling into existence in all its weakness, `l2O declared—and they made their declarationrod by their conduct through that contest—tht these rights were to be held sa cred in was that these men who uttered this declarationan war made a Constitution that dies and shniks away in war—that men learned PRICE TWO CENTS. in the perils of revolution had formed a gov ernment, under which we live, that was not equal to the very highest purpose fur which governments are constituted. I tell you it is a libel upon our fathers. (Great Applause.) So far from it being true that those who formed this Constitution contemplated that these pow ers should be suspended, you find in all these provisions particular care for all the dangers and the exigencies of war; you find numerous provisions that are meant to guard against the very dangers that now menace us. Your at tention has been called to the fact by the gen tleman who preceded me. Why was it that they so carefully guarded all your rights amid public disorder if they meant that. the mere ex istence of disorder should suspend the barriers of public order and private rights ? This doc trine of the suspension of the Constitution— this doctrine of the suspension of the laws, is unconstitutional, is unsound, is unjust, is trea sonable I (Tremendous applause, and waving of hats and nandkerohiefs. *A voice : '-That's just the word !") I am one of those who are full of hope for the future. Not that I underrate the dangers which threaten us—not that I do not deplore as much as living man can the terrible ravages -of this war. But why does war rage in our land? It was because the people of this gene ration have lost the virtues, and patriotism, and wisdom of their fathers. It was because we had become indifferent to those great truths which we have now laid before us as if they were curiosities in legal literature, instead of being principles that should be impressed upon the heart and mind of every American. I tell you why I am full of hope that our liberties will be maintained, our nation notor4d, and order once again prevail over this land of ours. It is this: Examine yourselves, and I ask you how many men there are withiniethe sound of my voice who knew twelve moults ago what the Constitution of this country was ? I do not say that you did not understand it intel lectually.d _ _o not mean to say that it was I not imprinted epon your memory. Ido not ' mean to say that it had not received your as sent; but it was not until we wet ade to feel, as our fathers felt, the value ofdecla ration, that they had put forth, that a l of us could ever see the significance of the Constitu tion of our country and the Declaration of In dependence. (Applause:) We have accepted it, as I said, mentally and intellectually ; but why was it, when these familiar words sounded upon your ears on this occasion, as you have heard them often before on the anniversary of our country's liberty, that they stirred your very hearts within you, and made your blood tingle in your veins ? My friends, we have not now a more intellectual knowledge of the Constitution—we do not give it now a mere mental support—we have now, upon that sub ject, a Vital, living piety that makes us better men and better patriots ; and wherever you go, all over this land, you find these sentiments now exist in the minds of more than a majori ty af the American people. They are now fer vent in their faith ; fixed in their purpose— ! fanatics, if you please, for the great principles of liberty, and fanatical in their determination to see that, those rights and liberties are estab lished. (Great applause.) —...._ . . itt. 1...-....-.4.-,:cr-lantl-lito - titicall parties, each an inconsiderable minority in the section of country where tbey existed, but men ofpur pose—men of zeal—men of fanaticism.

What may we not hope that, we may do when_ the great majority of the American people have a fervent and vital faith in these principles which you have heard and read, and who propose to maintain them at every cost and at every hazard? (Great applause.) Do you wish for peace ? Do you wish for victo ry ? Do you wish for the restoration of our National privileges ? Here lies the pathway, tirld let, the American people once learn the full value of their liberties as our fathers did, and the battle is fought and. won. Without this, my friends, war can bring you no success— peace can give you no quiet, until the Amer ican people are thus educated and elevated; and I believe they are rapidly . becoming educated and elevated—until that takes place, war or peace are the mere incidents of the great underlying causes of convulsion whi h have affected our land and shaken our insti tutions to the very centre. Your particu lar views may lead you to attribute it to one special cause or another special cause, but there is one great underlying general cause of this war which must be removed before the country can be restored, and that cause wee indifference to our rights, indifference to our liberties, and want of an elevated wisdom that could understand the duties of American citi zenship. When you have gained this peace will be restored; when you have gained this all the world can see that we have gone back to the wisdom of our fathers and that we are again sustaining institutions that invited the whole world to their shelter and protection— institutions that made us but three short years ago the most glorious nation on the face of the. earth. When we have again restored that vir tue and that intelligence our country will again be restored to its former greatness; and toils former glory. (Great applause.) But, my friends, anything short of this will disappoint your hopes. No victory can restore greatness and glory and power to a people who are unwore thy of liberty. No peace will bring back pros perity to a laud which cannot understand the great principles upon which governments should be protected, and the great objects for which governments are instituted. But, my friends, I must close. ("Go on Go on 1") Let us now, upon this sad and sol emn, as well as glorious occasion, re-dedicate ourselves to the service of our country in pure and fervent patriotism, putting aside passions and prejudices as far as we may, and preparing ourselves to assert and maintain the great principles stated in the Declaration of Inde pendence, and secured to us by the pro Visions of the Constitution of the United States. Let us resolve from this time on to do our duty, and to demand our rights. (Great applause.) In all that dignifies us, and so far as they are acting in the sphere of their constitutional powers, let us be obedient to rulers, let us sub mit cheerfully, patiently, and willingly to those commands which they have a right to issue, whether we like them or not. When we have done our duty let us claim our rights in. all their fullness, in all their completeness, and in all their p er f e ction. He Who does not do his duty without retard to the misconduct of others is untrue to his country. He who does not claim his rights is untrue to liberty and to humanity. (Applause) Our pathways are clear before us if we will but accept the simple and wonderful teachings of our fathers. From this time let us resolve that we will uphold all the.. just powers of the general government, and the rights of the States, (applause,) and the rights of persons, and, above all, as their best and surest shield, the independence and purity of the judiciary.

(The speaker was here in terrupted by a cry from a person in the au dience, which was followed, by shouts : "Put him out.") I thank my friend yonder that my ! eppeal has stirred his heart enough to say that ! zhen should respect the rights of others. All . the lessons of political wisdom are very few and very simple; they are, for men to respect I their own rights and to respect the rights of others. (Great applause.) They are to de -1 dare that the great principles of government were not holiday affairs, meant merely for a period of calm ; but that they are great truths 1 that can battle a storm as well.

(Great applause.) I ask all such I if they can hope to stop the mighty ball of revolution precisely at that point which may. suit their passions, their prejudices, and their purposes, and if they are not admonished that if they still set such an evil example, and de clare that laws and constitutions have lost their virtue to defend us, they have equally ..., lest their virtue to defend them ? SPEECH OF MR. PENDLETON, OF OHIO. Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, was next intro duced, and announced himself as one of the embassadors from the Democracy of Ohio ac credited to Abraham Lincoln (hisses) with the message to him to fulfil the guarantees of the Constitution and restore their banished cid -con home. (Entiinciastic cheering.) Men bad said tbat the destruction of these constitutional guarantees and security of per sonal rights were necessary to a vigorous prosecution of the war. He denied that it was true, and instanced the witr'of war - with' Mexico as evidnitiee'ef the feettj it-it was true, then the war should instat4";'-' stop. (Applause.) He believed that cegipifew - mise could still restore the Union. But m 4,1 said we must net compromise with arms'&' rebels. Compromise is tit; fret law of combs nation—he had almost ea of stairs; Whams— in business compromise,lovernmentli oempiti. mise, husband and wife compromise, and the• scheme of salvation was a compromise by which God accepted in our stead the atone ment of his son. (Cheers.) If we adhere to the compromises of the past, then in God's good time, when peace shall be restored, and weunds be healed, and widow's weeds be laid aside, and new-made graves become green by time, then he believed there would arise over all this vast country a joint anthem of frater nal harmony never excelled since. on Judeah's plains, on the.natal morning of the 'great Me siah, angels announced his coming and saag.

He commenced by referring to thee remarks of the previous speakers in terms of commendation. In referring to the importance of union in the North, he spoke as follows : How are the people of the North to become unanimous ? The government has its own plan, and it is exceedingly simple if it could be car ried into effect. It is simply this : That all the people in the North are to concur with the opinion of their party or retire to the Dry Tor- . togas. This plan of securing unanimity is ex pretised exceedingly well in the phrase. of un conditional loyalty. It means that you must discuss no public question unless you discuss it - in: alone feVorable to the government and the Republican party. When there is a discus ' iiOn you must not stay silent, because, as the President says, you must come out in favor of the government and its actions, whether you like them or not. You must read just what pa pers the government likes you must get what telegrams from the war that the government concocts ; you must get so much and se little information about what is most dear to you, the success of your armies anti the fate of your own brethern, precisely as the govern ment chooses to give. The government will be , paternal. and you' are reducing yourselves tothe condition of little children—open your mouth and shut your eyes and take what the Igovernment gives you. (Great Laughter ) Now that little nursery plan was from time to time. tried in Europe. There was a monarch in Zu rope who made that experiment in France some •!titne ago. He was Louis XVI ; and he. could n?C get his people to agree with him in eery _ thing—they had one will and he had another ; f and the plan that he adopted to secure unanim ity, was to send as many as he thought proper 1: to a place called the Biotite, ' NOW, possibly you remember that he continuedthat until the people, long apathetic, were at last stung into. resistance, and they walked up with their un armed breasts to the Beadle and tore it down stone by stone. and swept the foal thing . from the face of the earth. (Great cheering) And 1 that reminds me of a little story. (Laughter.) 1 The key of the Hostile was sent by General 4 : Lafayette to General Washington,who accepted 1 it as a token of the victory of freedom over despotism, and he hung - it up in Mount Vernon. I have heard that that key is missing, (laugh• ter,) and 1 am very credibly informed that an experiment has been made in the depth of mid night, and that it exactly fits Fort Lafayette. The experiment was once made also in England. ‘ There was once upon a time there a king who had a will of hie own, and a minister who was I disposed to. help him. The king was Charles the First. They inaugurated a system of un conditional loyalty that ; they called wonderfuL The king willed one thing and the people an other, and there was no compromise between Ithem, and the result was that the king boat the
