the people of the Free States resolved TO stand BY

New-York to speak; want Oh Tuesday week tho
Empire State TO elect % her Chief Magistrate that
glorious representative Of the Democracy, Horatio
Seymour Applause. And Itell you that thatelection
through the powerful voice of the people, through
the ballot box thus expressing lite great preponder
ance in favor of the doctrines have advanced will
be worth ten times 200 victories in the field.
LCheersl And when thus elected, our noble Sey-
mour standing up az the representative OF this great
State-his voice will be heard in thunder tones in
the capital Of this great country In his person Your
350,0 voices will be heard there, and then our
enemies will trembe not only in the capital but in
every Southern capital at the South. There 10 our
hope. Under our theory of Government the bullet
cannot be every thing. The trainers Of our
Government made no provision for great
standing army, but they made the ballot,
the great conservative power to keep the
Government in lis integrity and unity. That power
is yours, and you have duties to perform more pa
triotic and greater than that which rests upon our
armies. Because you are not in the field can it be
sad of You that you have not your part Of this
great drama 10 play out? All, yours, yours IL il,
after oil, under free, elective system speaking
through the representatives that you choose, acting
upon the legislation, and upon the executive power
Of the county, 10 settle ths matter; there ia the
triumph. There is the potential ti0al arbitration
which must after all, fight as long Is may, settle
and determine this military conflict. Let
this war go on for thirty years, 1t must
be settled BY negotiation and by con-
cession on both sides. You never knew civil war
to end otherwise-two men, two factions, two Sec
tons OF q common country lighting, if you please,
for common right. Penetrate into the Southern
country with your armies or let the Southern armies
come here alter all it has got to be settled by men
coming together in kindness. After all We must
finally settle down into arbitration, aud that
only DO done by the representatives of tho
people, either in the Congress Of the United
States or in Convention, in which the
States are to be represented and the DEL
egates 70 that Convention and that Congress
have eot TO be voted for by the people. 1t comes
back to the sovereign power the elective franchise,
and thus after all the ightDgs, civilians hike YOU
and l. non-con batsnts, have got to determine, and
10 settle and 10 end this unfortunate bloody war;
therefore say, my friends, it rests with you 1t
will be all right ri have nothing 10 say against
our noble armies and our noble generals They dis
charge their duty let us discharge ours. Our dis
charge OF duty lies in another direction. Let rs
elect men of our own views. Let US remember that
this Government has been sustained by the Demo-
cratic party, that the Democratic party have carried
MS through every successfully, that the Demo.
cratic party and the Democratic principles
are as Necessary to tue existence OF this Govern
me- Us the heart, and sBews, and blood 10 the
existence Of the man. When it weut out Cf power,
rapine bloodshed, and murder appeared, and that
is only to he banshed by hurting from power these
fanatical usurpers and placing IN power men OF
nerve men Of brain, men WHO represent principle,
TO represent you, men who will do their duty IN
their places, and then all will be right, and the
country will be restored to it's greatness
and power. Loud and long continued applause,
followed by three cheers for Fernando Wood.'l
