for their good, or for other purposes;

quiry. Why is it, sir, that in a time
of profound peaceit has cost £100,000,-
000 a year to support an army of 56,
000? The people especially will want
an answer to that question when you
propose to elect to the Presidency the
head of that army, who for a portion
of that period was not only the Gener-
al of the army, but the Seerctary of
War. They want to know how it was
that during the administration of the
Department by him it cost at the rate
of $120,000,000 to support the War
Department and arly, when it used to
cost but £1,000,000 to the regiment.

by a sensible, thinking people, and it
[is for the majority in Congress, and
for their partisans over the country, to

Answer, The people will want to know
'in this connection why it is that by this
political controversy that Congress has
| gotten up with the Executive, striking
“down the policy that was then almost
a success, the return of trade, produe-
tion, and of prosperity have been in-
definitely delayed. They know, as
Senators know, that from the time when
this controversy was gotten up by Con-
aress to break down the policy of res-
toration when almost completed, the
productions of a large portion of the
country have from year to year fallen
off, and that the exports which these
| productions furnished, enabling us to
keep up the balance of trade somewhat
in our favor, have fallen off so much
“that in a large degree that balance has
been made up in gold and the govern.
ment securities. The people want to
know why it is that trade csnnot be
nels ; that the industries of the country
are not encouraged, but that, on the
contrary, they are kept in that disturb-
od condition that investments dare not
be made by capital, and that labor is
should be invested. The people will
question that in former times was as-
father in relation to the great battle,

|

fense, or touching a civil right, why
these things are done in this country
‘and weighty answer must be given
them. They will want to know why
it is that you pretend for the time to
repudiate on the part of Congress the
right to establish negro suffrage in the
Northern States, and yet establish it

thousand years of experience have
“shown to be essential. Mr. President,
“the two parties into which the people
| of this country are now divided have
they have put their tickets in nomina-
| tion, and it is for the people now to de-
t cide which set of principles they will
| elect. Upon this subject 1 have but
| very few remarks to submit. In my
“opposition to the ticket that was nomi-
| nated at Chieago I never expect to
| place it upon personal grounds. I re-
| cognize the gentleman at the head of
| that ticket as an eminent military man
| and his g«sociate as a distinguished ci-
| yilian. Against them, personally. I
expect never to express a sentiment. I
| oppose their election because they have
become, by aequiescing in their nomi-
nation, the representatives of the senti-
ments that have controlled Congress
for the last three years ; because they
stand upon a platform which is objec-
tionable in part and equivoeal in part.
The Convention at New York has ex-
pressed its views in a platform which
in no section can be misunderstood.
The man that runs may read and un-
derstand. The plainest as well as the
most learned will interpret it alike. It
declares our views and our purposes so
distinetly and emphatically that the
people are not and cannot be misled.
The contrast between the two platforns
struck me with great force as I listen-
ed to the Senator from’ New Jersey
(Mr. Frelinghuysen) some minutes
since, as he read one of the sections of
the Chicago platform declaring that
the public debt must be paid in accor-

Executive of the sreat State of: New

| especially in the aid he gave to the
' government about the time of the bat-
tle of Gettysburg that Mr. Lincoln

' emphatic manner, his thank. He is na
| Eastern man, but he isacceptable to

' sentiments that he has always expres.

| Heis a man who, at the head of this:
| government, will recognize all sections,
i
‘and respect and labor to promote the
interests of each. While the chief
Executive ofthe State of New York,
he favored, publicly andi privately,
that policy which would encourage the
| producers of the great Northwest.
He favored ou the part of the State of
New York the adoption of a policy
that would allow our heavy freight to’
pass over the State canal almbst with:
out charge ; and ifhis policy had been
carried out to the extent that he de-
sired, the Northwest would have been
benefited to the extent of millions of
dollars. A national man, fair to all
sections, he may well receive the sup-
port not only of his own but of that
scoction from which I come; and I be-
lieve that he will recieve a support,
whether sufficient to control the votes
in the South or not I will not say, but
a eordial support in that section of the
Union. Whether he can obain the
electoral votes in the Southern States
will depend, in my judgment, upon the
question whether the military are kept
organized’ in these States, and the
Freedmen,s Bureau; with its party’
machinery; to control the elections.
