having originated the idea that the Chief JUS
tice Of the land should lead that party in the
contest, plunged him into the slough Of Demo-
crscy, contaminated his long years of judicial
usefulness, led him into perpetual shame and
seized the coveted prize. He who Is second on
that ticket Is the open and avowed advocate OF
revolution. Tney propose to reopen the revo-
luton, to roll back the wheels OF progress to
their starting point to establish a modified sys-.
TEN Of caste aCd labor This is their purpose,
and it Is re-echoed through the Southern States
by Democratic orators, whose hands are still
dripping with the blood of your children, or
whose hearts are rceking with hate towards this
Government. We propose to place this issue In
the ballot.boX. II the Democratic party succeed,
we shall submit; and ii wo succeed. we mean
that they shall suOmit-pesceably II they Will,
but If they force US once more TO the arbtrament
of arms, why there are hundreds of thousands OF
warriors scattered ever the hills and through
the valleys who will meet them again on the
slippery edge OF battle. They tell us that they
are the poor mans party. God is the poor
mans party. He is the party of the poor, with
out respect to race or color, and we profess to
be the friends of the poor mans party without
respect TO race or color. We have instituted
governments over the Southern STATES In the
interest of the poor man, aud not ot the slave
matters, who for two centuries have ground

brought to the Union lines. He then detailed
the various actions in which the negroes had
taken part, and in which they had displayed 60
much valor. Thirty thousand of them are now
sleeping in their graves, and all owing to theii
devotion to the Union dause. Is 1t not inconsis
tent in the Democratic party TO claim the pro-
lection Of the Constitution. and say that these
loyal negroes shall not vote? He concluded BY
saying that under the lead of Grant he knew the
old soldiers would still go forward under him tC
victory in this battle of peace, and the peopl'
who sustained him, who gave their sons Il
battle and death, would stand by him in th
great strife. AS he was glorious in war so viii
he be victorious in peace. AS Napoleon crushed
the Austrian army, so will the old guard o
Grant charge through the very centre of th
enemy now. We shall break through the rank

efforts. Capital and labor will go forth and de
velop our strength and our prosperity, and ou
prosperity and power shall be perpetuated t,
the last moment of recorded time. sz1Sfj
