the Supreme Court instead Of being in
terpreted by an ungovernablc mob. The
late election in Ohio means the abolition
Of the present financial system, and of
standing armies, of collectors, assessors,
spies and pimps, Of tariffs and stamps,
and, in word, all the odious elements Of
monetary despOtism,
1t means the payment Of the bonds in
greenbacks, the equalization Of taxation,
the emancipation Of labor from the des-
potism Of capital It means that the
bopdholder who bought Government se
curtics at thirty four cents on the dollar
has no right to expect the full payment
in gold 1t means that there shall be
but one currency for the rich and poor
1t means that public robbery, no matter
how carefully contrivcd, can never sue
eessfully be practiced upon free people.
Applause
Ohio may we'll be proud of her states
men, her jurists and her generals. But
they are likewise the children Of Democ-
racy as we'll as Ohio. No mere evanes-
cent popularity or ephemcral glory can
place any mere man above the constitu-
tional law and the great glory Of these
States Ohio cheers her statesmen, and
chides the foolish ambition of her upstart
military generals. Perry county. tie
home Of Phil. Sheridan, repudiates his
petty despotism by her magnificent ma
jority for Thurman. [Applause.
Thurman's Democracy is endorsed by
the glorious majority Of Fairfield. The
power of Grant to control even the
least influence of the people Of Ohio con-
trary to principle, is indicated by the vote
Of his birth place.
But this great victory of ours is but
the preludc-the index finger that points
to that general revolution which shall
sweep over The Mississippi, and change
our bad fortunes and fix our destiny, and
make this great valley the glory Of the
whole earth. Applause.
No such revolution as this was ever ar.
rested. 1t cannot be arrested. 1t will
sweep on with increasing volume and &C.
celebrated force, until Indiana, Illinois
Michigan, Wisconsin, sisters Of the great
State Of Ohio, all daughters Of grand old
i Virginia, shall stand side by side in win
dication Of the great principles taught By
Jefferson. Madison, Monroe and jackson
The Missouri Slope viii catch the echo
Of the shouts Of victory, and gallantly re-
spobd, and the revolution will spread un
til the whole land is restored to liberty
and the whole people bound in chains o.
blcsscdness aud love. [Appluse1
Let this work 20 bravely on. Let mas,
meetings be held in Ohio, Kentucky, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri. Iowa, Minneso
IN, aud it will not be long ere that bloody
line that divides the North from thu
South win meet together, righteousness
and peace will kiss each other. ZAP
plause Then will all the States unite
together in fraterual love aud harmony
for the protection of all our constitution
al rights. [Applause.] When we shall
have accomplished combination Of oul
natural powers and resources, it will bt
the proudest day of our nationl history
I[Applause.1 When we are thus combin
ed to resist our natural enemies, we vii
enlancipate our commerce. our labor, and
our productive power from the grasp o.
Eastern capital.
Let the Democrats of the Mississippi
Valley understand at once and forever
that We feed and clothe New England
and New York; that we hold the breath
of their life, the sources of their wealth
in our hands. Let US henceforth teact
them that VIC speak and it is done, We
command, aud 1t stands fast That W,
will no longer listen to the dictation o
such merccnary sheets as the New York
World, nor such trucking politicians Al
are employed by Eastern capital. Blu
conscious of our own strength, determin
ed in our own rectitude, combining will
our sisters of the Western States, we viii
have at least an equal share in determin
ing the destinies of the American Union
These are the lessons taught by the lat,
elections.
