speech at the Academy Of Music, In Philalsl-

Statesmanship should have higher aims
than those enumerated by the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. Industry may
be r. warded, commerce promoted, and good
order maintained under a despotism, AMI no
republican definition OF the aims Of statesma au-
ship can bs complete that does no. include the
establishment and maintenance of liberty.
Seymour las thoughtful mau," however,
kLows that his party does not tolerate or ap.
prove the LIBERAL ideas upon which this
Government was founded, aud that its modern
history is centred 10 its frauds, its iufamles,
its rebellions, its orueltiss, AMI its political
iltIigues to propagate, preserve, and par
petuate slavery. The preamble Of the Con-
stituton of the United States gives an ad-
mirsble condensed presentmsnt of the true
aims of American craftsmanship, which seeks
to "form more perfect Union, establish jas.
tice, insure domestic tranquility, provids for
the common defense, promote the general
The Seymour standard of statesm anship
falls Infinitely below that established
by the fathers of the Republic eighty years
ago, and modern Democracy has given, from
the mouth of its chosen champion, a new
illustration of its retrogrsde tendencies. Nor
is this the only or the worst fault of that
party. 1t does not even adopt effective IN eaus
to accomplish the purposes which Seymour
approves. While he processes to desire to
''see that in every portion of our country in
dustIy is rewarded" he belongs to the
rabid school of New York free-trade politi-
clans. The triumph of their principles
would reduce the rewards of the indu stry of
every section of our country, leave American
manufactures at the mercy of foreign competi-
tiop, and interpose fatal obstacles to the
development of the internal resources of the
country. The mineral regions he witnessed
for the first time, on his recent trip through
the State, would again become comparatively
worthless wastes, and desolate solitude would
again prevail at thousands of places which
now res ound with the busy hum of
cheerful and profitable industry. Aside
from the blighting influences of free trade,
Seymour has no sympathy with the efforts of
the Republican party to secure for the work
men of the South the just rewards OF their
industry which the Democracy persistently
denied by their support of slavery, and which
the Rebels still seek TO withhold through the
aid of their outthroat Ku.Klux Klans, and
by the action of the Southern State govern
ments they propose to control under
the Blair-Brodhead programme. With
out diversified industry no nation can
enjoy the fruits of a beneficial and enriching
commerce, and the Seymour free-trade, pro-
slavery system of craftsmanship would per-
petuate forever the industrial vassalage of this
great country. The Democratic method OF
sustaining the "good order of society" has
been sufficiently tested to prove its worthless
ness. We need look no farther for iIlustra-
| tion than to Buchanan's method of dealing
with the incipient Rebellion, to seymours
course in reference to the New York riots, and
to the demonstrations OF the Southern Demo-
cracy at Memphis, New Orleans, and Camilla.

"Philsu elphia, Oct 81, 1868"
With these clear and explicit instructions
before them, no election officer need remain in
doubt as to his duty, when any person not
entitled to a vote attempts to defy the law and
pOllute the ballot-box by voting upon an illegal
certificate of naturalization.
