Of Democracy by the disturbance of a long tetted

stated that one Of the chief OF it's failure was
that the eE ormous of 800 had been paid to
procure the passage Of che bill through Congress
which aspsssed by as everyday occurrence hardly
| worthy of notice.
That confidence has been destroyed, trade par
syZed, manufactures closed and cold out under the
SherifNs hammer, that vessels are rottDg at your
wharves for want Of employment that labor is unem
plOyed and industry discouraged that the people are
impoverished, and the treasury bankrupt, that the
Government s supported by loans, and the Issue OF
treasury notes and all this 10 time OF profound peace
and all too, under long reign of Democratic egsl4
ton ard control, the knowledge Of all intelligent and
candid men viii testify.
That lawless mobs and vigilance committees have
asfumed the iudQment-seat, and eynded or over
swed the legal authorities of the country the scenes
that have rspired IN TINS CITY 10 Baltimore, NO
bile New Orleans and California, al bear evidence.
Now oil this has not happened within the lsst few
years, without come controlling cause. IL is not
matter Of mere chance and accident. There is
reason for it, and that ought 10 be investigator
and corrective applied
What then, ia tie cause? IL has been occasioned
first by the dsOrgsnzation OF society, arisirg from
too rapid Introduction Of the foreign element into our
social and DC iica organizations, before they found
place suited 10 their wants; before they found the
mems Of living, or had acquired knowledge OF our
institutions o. cared for their successful operation.
Secondly by the 'rt Of employment to the general
labor Of the countfS which haze been persstenly
fused by the Democracy and which has led 70 disspa-
ton rowdyism, vice, and all the other c0ncomitsnts
of ideness. And thirdly, by the example get IN high
places Of AN unfaithfu administration and execution
Of the law and lastly by the improvident and unwise
system Of legislation established by the Democratic
party, in refusing 70 protect the fruits OF the industry
Of the country while the vicious and corrupt are
courted ard csressed shielded aud protected, where
ever they have the power ocontros popular election.
To correct all this, it will not do TO Top of branch
here, and branch there. You must begin st the
root, musk institute n order OF things IN
Washington; you must purify the Government and
all its ofcers and then the people will become pure,

oler ce ard disorder es have described.
do not mean to say, because do not believe, that
vice and corruption pervsde the entire body OF Dem
ocratc politicians, although there is far too mech OF
in poiticsns Of al parties, and none are too good to
bear watchirg but II is the nature and character OF
their organization which is the most perfect, con-
pact ard formidable that controlled party, tna'
leads 10 all these mschies-it is the sys EN- and
policy they pursue, and to which few of them do not
subscribe and when they do not, they are excluded
from the tesb.pots-wblch is the severest punishment
known to their cods; that policy is to make all things
bend 10 success TO sacrifice all things human and
holy to the sscendancy Of party and the perpetustoo
Of power neither the lights OF experience, the peace
Of the country the harmony of sections the Dreservs
tion Of the Constitution the safety Of the Union, the
prosperity of the nation the purity of the bench, the
anctty OF the church, neither ore nor al these COM
hned are allowed to break through the serred ranks
Of their political organization, which has principle
for lie bSsis and manly incentive for lis conduct.
At the bthest ard by the example Of Democracy
osIty politics have entered into our courts, OF high ard
low degree Is influence is 10 be felt in the jurybox
and 10 be seen the Witness stand II Is as much
part Of the policy of that party 70 make Democracy

fssors, "a IL is a part Of the policy o; the Roman
