Mr.. MURPHY was next introduced and on coming
forward said IL was unnecessary for him TO detain
them long, - the speakers who nad preceded MN
vast assemblage which he was addressing was an
evidence OF the feeling which peryaded the people
te see u1eo0s involved very ana
that OF their form Of government. An INSCRIPTIONS
party in possession Of the government had per
Constitution and assumed powers outside OF that in
strument under the guise Of restoring the Union,
Ds II sss ss ns e 81
Imposed governments on the Southern States
without their consent and had set precedent which
II not arrested BY the people would result In the
tire subverston and ruin OF the government The
plea put forward by the epublican party was that
which served Caesar when he passed the RubicOn; 1t
was that which served Louis Napoleon when he
robbed the French people Of their republic. They
claimed that the South was conquered territory and
therefore they had right to reconstruct II as they
thought best In their own Judgment But that was
an error. There was no such thing as conquered
territory within the meaning Of the constitution.
The reconstruction acts Of Congress were unconsti-
tutonal, and II the democratic party should be put
In power these acts would be declared v0id legally
and peaceaby, and In no other way. The States
had accepted the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution and when these acts OF Congress were de-
na Let
them look at the reports In the daily papers OF the
anarchy and violence in the South. why was that
iish negro supremacy in the South and to disfran-
chise the white men. Then there was no use In the

clared UNCONSTITUTIONAL Revolutionary and void.
1t was unnecessary for him to say anything OF the
the best interests Of the country and were honorable
honest men. Any democrat who did not vote for
them committed crime not only against his party,
SPEECH OF MAYOR HOFFMAN,
Mayor JOHN T. HOFFMAN was the next speaker
and on coming forward expressed himself grateful
for the welcome and knew of no words adequate to
express his thanks. 1t was unnecessary for him to
make more than few informal remarks, as he had
addressed them so Often A week ago he spoke In
Philadelphia. when his voice could hardly reach
the assembled thousands there That assemblage
vania, who were struggling to overcome the party
who were trying to ruin the country He had gone
through great part OF Pennsylvania and the men
were gathering In crowds to hear the questions OF the
day discussed, and he told them that on Tuesday
next democratic victory will be gained there The
throats OF the party that had Impoverished them
and who now sought to corrupt them with their i'll
gotten plumber The radicals had assembled some
time since In this city to commemorate the battle OF
Antietam, but they never mentioned the name Of
the general who won that great battle. They
their party W. although as many democrats vent to
hght the battles OF their country as republicans and
as many democrats went to lead them as republi-
cans Now when they had deprived the Supreme
Court Of the power to sit In Judgment upon them
and tied the hands Of President Johnson 80 as he
radical Congress-, they charged that Andrew Johnson
was responsible for the frauds committed by the
radical ofliceholders on 1.-THE country. Having
brought to an account they rendered fraudulent
statements OF the manner in which the peoples
money had gone Having obtained the peoples
the constitution, and having spent 1t they now
rendered false accounts Of Its expenditure. The
Congress-, which he declared unconstitutional and
void, next presented the picture Of peace which
Kentucky presented under democratic rule with Its
prosperous business prospects and its bonds selling
at par in the New York market in contrast with
Tennessee under radical rule, with its daily deeds
was useless anu to &c can nn'1 for peace s'' the
ores OF sectional prejudice and hate were
by any other bonds than those Of love. when the
States that had been In rebellion laid down their
arms under the promise OF protection under the con-
reau with universal negro Suffrage and white dis
franchisement. He concluded by passing q high
eulOgium on HOrattO Seymour.
SPEECH OF ALLAN O. BEACH,
The democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor
he asked why il was he
pie were inquring OF the radical party, who had
controlled the government for the last seven years,
why IL was that the Union was to-day prac-
tcally dissolved and ten States were to-day
refused representation in Congress- why 1t they
wa 90 and
had overridden the constitution, the Executive and
the judicial departments OF the governments The
radical party said there was a rebellion, but the
answer to that was that the rebellion was crushed
than three years ago. and therefore the state OF
the radicals afraid Of the southern peopes II they
were the Union soldier was not afraid OF them and
they desired to reap the benent Of their services
OF the country. Was there no such word
az 'forgfveness' In the radical creedf There was,
or hsS
drunk the blood OF Union men, for those who had
declared they would take no Yankee prisoners; but
There was no pardon for those who did not To-day
eight hundred thousand negroes had q right to vote
in the Southern States An inferior and earbsroSs
manipulated by political demagogues so as 10
control the election Of twenty United states
Representatives ana seventy electors for Presi
dent. The radicals would also pay the bondholder
gold, while the soldiers widow should receive her
pension in greenbacks and In addition to her own
taxes pay part OF the taxes Of her bondholding
neighbors. But now the people were aroused and
they were determined not to vote the bread out OF
their mouths the clothes on their backs, and to put
chains on their necks. The country was rising and
In November next there would be such majority
rolled up for the democratic party as would make
the radicals knees smite together. "A VOICE
100000 IN this CITY," Cheers.)
