- MIR. Belmont's speech, in opening the New
York Convention, concluded as follows: The
american people win no longer remain deaf to
the tesehings Of the past. They will remember
, that it was under successive Democratic adj
n1inistrations; based upon our national princi-
Z Pies principles Of constitutional liberty-that
our country rose to q prosperity of greatness
unsurpassed in the annals Of history; they will
remember the days, when North and South
marched shoulder to shoulder together in the,
conquest Of Mexico, which gave US our golden
empire on the Pacific, our California and our
Oregon. now the strongholds Of triumphant
Democracy. They viii remember the days
when peace and plenty reigned over the whole
Union, when we had no national debt to crush
: energies Of the people; when federal tax
gatherers were unknown throughout the vast
extent Of the land; when the credit Of the Uni
ted States stood as high in the money marts OF
the world as that Of any other government; and
th5ytwill remember with wise sorrow that with
the downfall Of the Democratic party in 1860
came that fearful civil war which has brought
mourning and desolation into every household;
has cost the loss of million Of American citi-
zens, and has left us with national debt, the
burden Of which drains the resources, cripples
the industry and impoyerishes the labor of the
country. They will remember that after the
.trasrcidar strife was over, when the bravery OF
our army and navy and the sacrifices Of the
people had restored the Union and vindicated
the supremacy of the law; when victor and
vanuuisbed we're equally ready to bury the
past and to hold out the hand OF brother
hood and goodwill across the graves of their
fallen comrades, it WAS again the defeat OF
Democratic candidates in 1864 which prevented
this contamination 30 devoutly wished for by
all. Instead OF trying to wipe out the miseries
of the past by magnanimous policy, dictated
alike by humanity and sound stateamanship,
,and SO ardently prayed for by the generous
heart Of the American people, the Radicals in
Congress, elected in an evil hour, have placed
the iron heel Of the conqderor upon the South.
Austria did not more to fasten upon vanquish-
