SPEAKER COLFAX'S SPEECH.

Mr. Colfax thus spoke at Lafayette, Indiana :
To-day we feel proud that we have saved a nation
and emancipated a race, and to-day we follow our
great standard bearer—the hero of the century—
U. S. Grant. Brave in battle, generous in victory,
reticent in speech, yet firm as the eternal granite in
principle, and upon whose banner these magic words
are inscribed : "Let us have peace." They are four
words only, but a volume is contained in them. If
there is a country in the world that wants peace, it
is this American Republic. We have passed through
a severe struggle for national existence. No land ever
was required to make such sacrifices as ours. We had
to heap up golden and living treasure upon our coun-
try's altar ; the noblest and best went forth to prove
their devotion to the flag of our fathers. Now, in
the language of our leader, let us have peace. IV')
want no more taxes, no more drafts, no more carnage
and bloodshed, and desolation. No ; no. IVhen we
reflect that this rebellion is only to be remembered in
broken hearts, numberless graves and enormous
debt, we can all say we want no more war, but WO
want loyalty to be triumphant, and we want peace
through justice, liberty, nationality, and security
to all. (Great applause.) Are we going to have
them ? (" Yes ; when we elect Grant and Col-
fax.") Yes ; there is one man who commandedpeace, who struck down and drove those who wag"
war into the last ditch, and sent them home a 3
paroled prisoners of war. When he becomes Pre"
sident, wherever treason dares to raise its head he
will strike it down. Every man who dares to raise
his hand against his fellow-man will be met with
the stern power of the Government. Grant 141
give protection to all, through the nation's strength'
This is what Grant intends to do, and what lie
believes the duty of the Executive, as I know from
his own declarations. (Great applause.) When
you see, in the South, the newspapers, which a'
press public opinion, speak of Union men, who
have lived there all their lives, as scalawags, and
when they speak of the brave soldiers and others
from the North who have gone down there and
settled, as they had the right to do, and call theln•
carpet-baggers ; and when you have seen their
threats, in the form of a wood-cut representing a gal-
lows on which to hang after next March those they
call carpet-baggers and native scalawags; when rti
see the attempt to put these States back again under
the power and control of the rebels ; if you consent to
.
it, then I say you are not worthy of the blood et
the brave soldiers that died to destroy that power
and to enthrone loyalty in its stead. (A Wee,'
"They will never get it.") Igo; never while Ge'
reigns in heaven. He sustained us and our country
in the darkest hours. He never saved our flag that
it might be surrendered back into the hands-of
who sought, though ineffectually, to destroy it. HO
has prospered us as a nation, as no other land was
ever prospered. He has saved us from perils sueii
as encompassed no other nation beneath the circuit
of the sun. lle gave victory to loyalty on that
battle-field, and he will give victory to loyalty 3,,
the ballot-box. If we deserve it, we shall I.lo'
peace : we shall have protection to every Amerieali
citizen, South and North, at home and abroad ; and
with this we shall, have stability, progress, as
power, and the grandest march of any nation 1;
ancient or modern history. We shall recognize tb
immortal principles of the declaration of indepeu;
dente—the baptismal vow of our fathers—when
this republic was born into the family of nations'
guaranteeing equality in life, liberty, property, and
protection to all whom God created. To see°
this we have only to plant ourselves on the eterci
nal rock of right, as we did when we arrayed
ourselves against the wrongs of slavery. He °i'
verted what was intended as a crusade of slavery
l
into an onward march for liberty, and you heart;
ringing all over the Republic, " Proclaim fiber,'
throughout the land, to all the inhabitants theree''
We shall triumph, because we are striking for the
right. We shall triumph, because we are inspired
by the noblest principles that ever animated a Party.
We shall triumph because we are faithful to tPtit
honoured dead, over whose graves unrepen,t3
traitors have dared to repeat their treason. lbe;,
did not give their heart's blood to relinquish this
States into the hands of those who murdered then
for their fidelity and loyalty. They went fort
from loving wives and happy homes to extinge'hso
the embers of rebellion, never, as they hope]) t°
rekindled. It seems to me they must turn in their
ir
bloody shrouds to-day, as they hear over th',
graves those threats of the men whose powerthe
struck down. By all the memories of the sa'etela
,_,O
dead; by all the blood shed so freely, by all tciP
sacrifices of the nation, I appeal to the thong° id
who stand before me, to so speak, that the W°r,
shall hear that the American people will not We,
come unrepentant traitors to their Cabinet to r
this country ; nor to their Congress to make laws to
govern the widows and children of men they 51
upon hundreds of battle-fields ; and every friend o
liberty throughout the world will rejoice as he he,
the mighty voice of the people proclaim that loyalty
shall govern what loyalty preserved.
