REMANxS OF Mr.. JOHN ROGERS.
Mr.. JOHN ROGERS, = New Jersey then proceeded to
address the assembagc ne sag our fathers aaa
1t attempted TO impose unjust and oppressive tax
alton on the people of the American colonies. In
ciples fathers entered the harbor as the men Of
Boston did and tumbled the tea overheard from the
ships because England imposed heavy and oppres
sive tax upon that article. The radical Con-
gress Of the present day is oysrburdening
the people with other unjust and oppressive

achieved In November next. Cheers.l He didn't
cratic party-that party that had done wonders Tor
him, taking him, one OF the poorest boys Of his time
and giving him place among his fellows. He would
shut up shop and would attend to no private bust
ness till he had put the party through. He would
devote all his time and energy to the success Of the
ticket which, he had no doubt, would be elected
by overwhelming majorities in November next

REMARKS OF MR.. J. r. FELLOWS.
]. r. FELLOWS, of Arkansas, next addressed the
structiOn law and the influence of this act upon the
people OF the South. That which bore heaviest on
the land were the reconstruction measures OF a radi-
cal Congress- Would the North permit the necks OF
white men to be loaded with the chains placed by
radical Congress In the hands of the negro? Cries
of s.No.') From the surrender OF Lee down to this
moment he asserted, the South had been honest
and sincere in their desire to resume their place in
the Union and to become loyal citizens as they were
before the war; The South, however, knew OF no
Union cemented by frauds. They desired the Old
Union-the Union OF mutual interests. The South
particularly complained that the radical party en-
Iranchised blacks and disranchised whites. because
they are whites and opposed to radical rule. The
radical party have violated the constitution In
that it punished the States for crime which only
individuals could commit. And they have denied
to large portion OF the educated and intelligent
people OF the South the right OF suffrage and confer
red it the half brutalzed blacks OF the South just
redeemed from slavery. This was the greatest
wrong that had been inflicted on the south ana the
hardest to bear He relied on the great democratic
party of the country to remove these and other evils
from the South, and to that end the South itself
would cast its whole vote for the nominee Of the
party. (Cheers)
Other speakers followed, and at O late hour the
meeting broke up.
