his mind lately to gathering of Democrats in
West Hoboken. They serenaded CHAUNCEY,
and CHAUECEY "spoke piece" After indulging
in little natural Standardization, and spend
ing some time in owing that this Government
is one for poor people and not for rich ones,
and, therefore, that there is great danger of
'negro equality" CHAUNoEY approached the
subject which evidently lay nearest his heart,
viz, the vindication of bis consistency in oppos
ing the war. ''There. didn't tell you so," says
CHAUNCEY:-
81 appeal to Won TO night whether did not speak
the truth when told you the war was not for the
Union but for the negro, and to reyoutIonize and
overthrow the lree Government or our countryY
You did, you did The reason / opposed the war
was that was satisfied with and loved the free vol
untary system of government of our fathers and
despised the bloody European system OF force which
the war was meant to establish Now, my friends,
after the results OF the war are before the country,
tell me which one OF nv positions during the war
have to TecantS Not one, not one"
CHAUNOEY thinks the country is pretty much
gone to the dogs. Hear him:-
do you call this abomnation a Union which is
held together by the bloody point of the bayonet,
and where one halt is plotting to keep its bloody
heel permanently upon the necks of the people of
the other hafr II there Is any man In this crowd
who is fool enough or Enaye enough to call thus ac
cursed product of the Abolition war Union, want
him to stand out there, so that may see how he
looks Why IL this abominaton, as it now stands
and happiness! l will go further and saw if there
is, in any world worse hell than this, then l pity
the Black RepuD leans hereafter. DIVES, howng
for drop OF water 10 cool his burning tongue, was
TO be envied in contrast. Read their newspapers!
Read their speeches in Congress Nay, read the
prayers OF their clergymen! And where, out of
Be zebub's kingdom, was there ever such inIeTna
spirit before? Hatr, d, spite, malice, revenge, all
larded with such ncomprehens,ble lying! And this
is 10 be called Union-a free, happy, united
tryl God have mercy upon us, If we are such fools
as to think SO! Look a. the once proud and hon
n n M
after this Abolition war degraded to bawdy den of
negroes, absolutely unfit Tor the residence of decent
white men and women The cushions in the galleries
and saloons of the Capitol are act laly swarming
with vermin, the natural product OF the wards OF
the nation, as the NEGROES are pOeilcay caied, ana
as lousy as the cushions!
He comedies, however, that the Union party
is consistent. He says:-
''And this my felow-citizens is the same party
and these are the same principles that cOmbated
during the During the whole war these traitors
we're aiming at the very thing hey aoIng now.
1t was fol this that the war was inaugurated and
carried ON and 1T was or this tnat denounced 1t as
government, but against Christian civilization. IL
wa. o war OF conquest and p.under. The party
which carried 1t on, still Tepresene in Congress,
admits IL to have been war of conquest, and
they are so far from denying it to have been
D under that the are sul after the war is ended,
invent Dg all kinds or schemes and excu7es to con.
tlnue the punder of the Sou hern people. Their
thirst for plunder not yet sataed Their clnnbal
CHAUNCEY next condoles with those of his
brethren who had to ''come to time" during the
war. He has feeling sense of the miseries
they endured. Hear him mourn with them;-
"And, If speak of plunder, fellow-citlzens you
haN had o good taste OF he genius oil the negro
party in this respect, for see here before me many
VINO had to MORTGAGE our little homeseads to buy
substitutes to feed the insatiate devil of abolItomsm.
Once you owned peaceful home, which you had
gained by your own daily toll, but Black Republican
Ia d IFS ed hand uDOn shoulders, and
sald Go ne! your money or your lie! either go
yourself to be shot at for the glory Of negroes
morl gage your homes and get money TO buy those
WI to be shot III JOur sseadH This the only
alternative the Black Republican party gave the
only your homestead, but it has mortgaged your
sole and the sweat of your brow to pay a debt
h'aped up in numbering and plundenng the South
ern pc ple."
This is pretty heavy on the 'boys in blue"
whose votes Mr.. BURR's party IN Pennsylvania
would be so glad to get for HESTER CLYMER.
Numbering and plundeling the Southern
people!' We commend this Copperhead morsel
% our returned soldiers.
tHAUNCEY thinks that all that has been done
during the war must be undOne. Not a single
measure OF this abolition party" must be
acauiesCed in. The Union as it was, the Con-
stltution as it was and the Niger as ii was
tLat is the true Democratic platform he thinks.
He wants no "Black Republican improvements"
"Yo our presence here is proof that you will stand
for tie Union as 1t was, and Tor the Constitution
il was, before either was unkered Oy the traItOrOus
hau0 of Black Repubhcamsm. The Union our
fathers made-that IS your platform and II is ne.
We stood together upon this platform during the
war, in opposition to the abolition traitors who
seeking 10 overthrow the great American principle
of consent, ana to establish the old despotc Euro
pcan principle OF Iorae! We are Democrats OF the
same school as the wise and patriotic founders of
our Government We, feow.ctlzens, are Demo-
crats without the Black Republican improvements.
During the Whole OF that black and bloody time be.
tween the wears OF 1861 and 1865 we stood upon pre-
else the platform OF principles the Democratic
party had stood upon al the way from 1898 to 1850
Ii other, got off that platform, we did not. Ii JET
PERSON and the inund'T of the Union were right,
we were RI ht II the immortal platform of pTlnci-
pies known az tie Kentucky and Virginia Resolu-
ti0ns, or which the Democratic party was brought
into existence, right IN 1898, TREY ugnt in
1860. They are ngh now, ana they will be right for
ever They involve the fundamental organc prlnc-
PITS of our Government. Ii tney have been over
thrown, their overthrow IL a CT me, and we must
treat It n CRIME TO acqniesce in u crime is TO Oe
party TO 1t after the fact. II we no est in wish
iha the Union oul fathers made restored, we must
return TO the principles which athers based
1t The Democratic temple OF Sc t-goVernment and
liberty can never be made to stand upon the tounda-
tlOns of Black Republican despOtism And every
Black Republican stone or plank put IN the founda
tons for the Democratic edIfce will be source Of
campaI0ns We have several times queer
looking nag brought on 10 the political cour e,wIth
Democratic body and a Black Republican head and
tail but have never known great to be
w.p by such an animal. We probably never shall"
CHAUNCEY is probably correct in that last
statement. Moagrels don't stand much chance
in these times. There are but two sides, and
they are the same that existed through the war.
CHAUNCRY don't seem TO see success so close
at hand as it might be; but he is going to hold
On and stick to the platform at any rate:-
