Fellow -soldiers, / Sn proud aud happy to

Boys in Blue of the old army of Sherman,
Sheridan, and Thomas We have assembled on
this spot, where ninesy-two years ago, our fore
fathers assembled to give birth to a free and
Independent nation and the Declaration of Inde-
peLdence. We have assembled to take measures
TO preserve the one III make living reality
of the olher. We are assembled to ask
ourselves this question:, Shall unrepeptant
Rebels of the South and the miserable vile
traitors OF the North take possession of the
(Cries of no! mob Shall these men of the
North, headed by Horaio Seymour, who
refused TO work with us in the vineyard,

| and cry that we have SO often heard and
answered on many batle.d field. Who have we
| to oppose us? The same men who opposed US
| during the Rebellion, both in the South and at
the North. Who are these men at the South
| who have joined hand with the Northern De-
mocracy? Why, Robert OId, who will be
remembered by many here present who were
| confined as prisoners OF war in the Rebel pens.
| He is the mal, who, on opening many of the
| boxes sent South by your loving mothers, said
he thought the articles too highly seasoned
for men of sedcntary habits. Then there
is Wade Hampton, who said to me
| that he would rather his arms should
| wither than live wi h the mudsllls of the
torch to every Northern home. He occupied
front seat in the New York Convention. Then
| there's Ex-Governor Vance, OF North Carolina,
| the man who addressed his troops with the
| remark that be wanted them to fill hell so full
| of Yankees that their heels would stick out of
the third-story window. He and Wade Hampton
had gone into the guerilla business, but a ride
| OF 130 miles on an old mule which / gave him
| had the effect OF dssolvlng that partnership.
| Then there is Forrest the butcher, who sur
| rounded garrison OF iour hundred men with
! force ten times as stong. and, under cover of
| flag OF truce, marched his force to the rear aud
murdered nearly ali tue garrison. He buried
| living and dead in the same ditch, and nailed
| negroes TO houses and fences, and there burned
them. These are the men who are opposing us.
In 1865 the Republican Conventions Of New
York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in
dicted the same Democratic party for

American people, and found guilty of the
charges and specifications. The charges were
Presidential contest OF 1860 when they expressed

had fairly been elected to take his seat. They
also denounced the emancipation and the draft.
When Robert p. Lee was being driven from the
Wilderness, and the army OF General Sherman
was treadng, 7O,O 600 strong, through Georgia,
the Democratic party in Chicago were declaring
the war failure. Well, it was failure for the
Rebels. (Laughter.) General Mcclellan was
dcfeated and so WAS General Lee. (Applause.)
I'll tell you secret. General Mcclellan has re-
turned to the United States with his carpet-Oag
Qaughter), to stump the nation for Horato Sey-
mour. But his friends are afraid OF him, because
he cannot make up hi, mind where he is going

Can office-seekers have Joined their party under
the name of the Democratic party-why, that
was dead many day ago. Did General Jackson
arise from his grave, he would cane Horatio
Seymour for calling himself Democrat. The
party reminded him Of the old lady who had a
tea,kettle three generations old, which, not
withstandlng it had lost its handle, muzzle, and
bottom, she claimed was the same old tea not
We are accused OF being vindictive. But this is
a mistake. Mr.. Doolittle, who Is talking
eloquent falsehood aud polished treason, asserts
that we are not a Christian people, and says
that, as in old Rome, we should make them
citizens, and add to the power of the Govern
ment. Well, did we not try that? But they
preferred to go to Me Xico and South America.
We endeavored to restore them to good order
and fellowship, but tailed; they style the
Dagger. If they make much more opposition
to carpet-baggers, we will march down
there with 100000 carpet.baggers, with knitting
needles, and sew every one of them up IN
shrouds. We have been too generous. 1t would
have been better had every one of them been
swept into the Atlantic Ocean. They deuounce

nearly all the military from the Southern States,
entirely. When we got the Rebel down we
ought to have kept him there until, with fearful

speaker then, in speaking of the finances
OF the country, said that greenback
was now worth sixty cents, but with the
issue, as contemplated by Mr. Pendleton, of
$1,000, 100000, t,would be worth twenty cents
worse than nothing. The people who call
themselves Democrats, who hated US during the
war, and now, because we crushed the Rebellion
and destroyed the Democratic party, now ask
us to forget the past. Why, would not give
victory won for all the baDpiness enioyed bV
