This Is q war OF freedom aud free labor against a
mighty aristocracy based upon tue Owner.h ship OF

tue reorganization Of Sou hern society on repdbli-
can basis and it should reouir, no argument TO
prove tDaI men who believe in this artist Ocracy are
not the most fit commanders in such contest. On
this subject history 10 not wanting in Lessons 10
guide u.s. So early ~ the year 1888, the cities Of
Germany, which had formed four Leagues IN ssf
defense against tho arstocacy that lived only on ts
plumber vi commerce, were engaged In deadly con.
iict for their rights. They made two mistakes,
which paved the way for their ruin. They lost the
sympathy of the peasantry, because they fought
only for the privileges OF tn cities; and theyap.
pointed mobiles to command their armies who cared
more for their propesry IN the eties than Tor ihe
moderation" and one Of them proved traitor on
the field of battle. Afterward, city after city fell
fell into the hands of the aristocracy and The PEG Die
became the prey Of q swarm OF petty mOnarcbs, who
unnluilated the external power Of the country,
which groaus under their oppression TO this day.
Tue ssme principle was illustrated in our Rev0ld-
tionary War by the State OF Sonlh Carolina, which
swarmed with LoyalIsts and Torres, who like the
RepeIs now In arms against US, loved Slavery more
than they loved their country IL is MT possible to
put down ono privileged class through tue leader
ship OF another, unless their interests are anaYon-
is zeal.
Mr.. Chairman, tho fatal consequence of losing
sight Of tho principle am now urgug has been seen
ia the recall Of Gen. Fremont from his command OF
the Western Department. In the year 1876, his
name had been couspicuously identified with the
great political conflict which finally eliminated IN
