We solemnly declare our convic-
tion that the free institutions of
the country have been in greater
jeopardy than at this time, and
we look to the deliberations of the
Democratic party now assembled
in convention with the deepest
anxiety, feeling that on its action
depends the future prosperity of
our country.
We earnestly trust and believe
that no devotion to men or ad-
herence to past issues will be per
mitted to endanger the success of
the great party to which the coun-
try now looks with an anxious
eye for permanent peace and the
perpetuity of our institutions.
We believe that there are living a
half a million of men who served
in the Union army and navy who
are, in sympathy and judgement,
opposed to the acts of the party
in power, and at least another
half a million who have hereto
fore acted with the Republican
party, but who, viewing with
alarm the recent acts of that par
ty, are now anxious for a change
of administration. M i.fotts
With a platform of principles
reviewing no dead issues, and
looking only to the arrest ofexist-
ing evils, and with candidates
whose fidelity to the Constitution
and devotion to the country can,
not be questioned, we shall coop

with enthusiasm and confidence
that will bring victory and saliva.

Address of the Soldiers and
SAILORS TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Mr.. President and Gentlemen 0ftke
! Contention We are unanimous
| ly instructed, by the unanimous
vote of the convention of Union
soldiers and sailors, now in ses-
sion at Cooper Institute, to return
to you our thanks for extending
to us the privilege Of the floor of
your convention. The objects for
which we are assembled are clear
ly set forth in the address Of our
presiding officer.
Our convention is composed of
two thousand delegates, elected
to represent every State and Ter
ritory in the. Union, who had SER
we'd in the Union army and navy,
every one of whom believes that
in cooperating at this time with
the conservative party of the
country he is still engaged in the
same cause for which he risked
his life during the war, namely
to preserve the Union and main
tain the supremacy Of the Consti-
tuition. We believe that crimes
are now being perpetrated in the
name of republicanism and loyalty
that are not less alarming than
those committed by the armed
foes of the Government during
the war. The party now in pow
er has destroyed the equality of
the States; has forced the South
ern States to submit to have their
constitutions and laws framed by
ignorant negroes just released
from servitude, while at the North
it has denied the negro, although
comparatively educated, the right
Of suffrage.
| 1t has attempted to influence
the highest tribunal of the land
| by calling meetings of excited par
tisans to condemn all members of
the court who might refuse to act
in accordance with their dictation,
while all the leading journalists
of the party since the close of the
impeachment trial have denoun-
ced and vilifed in unmeasured
terms members of their own par
ty, going so far in some instances
as to threaten personal violence,
and for no other reason than that
they were unwilling to peUure
themselves at the behest of party
It has freely removed political
disabilities from men of the South
| who, before and during the wal
were the most violent and malig

in power, while it itpersecutes thos'

but are unwilling to. be rnled by

The Truth Blurted Out.

Forney, in one of his letters un-
der the signature of "Occ4sional,"
says, the italics being hiSbwn:
The Republicans of the South
must look to their household
Placed by Congress in possession
of all the State governments, and
strong in the recent acts relieving
from constitutional disabilities a
large number of active and gifted
men, they ought to secure an I'M
naeRSe cote for Grant and CoJar.
They ought to hold the great body
of the colored vote, thus inspired
and strengthened; and they will,
if they are as resolute and active
as they should be.
This requisition, it must be ad-
mitted, is but reasonable.
1t is to the principle ground Of
the requisition, however, that we
invite especial attention. "Placed
by Congress- says Forney of the
Southern Republicans, ''in posses
sion of all the State governments"
and so forth. There it is in black
and white, under the hand of the
most faithful exponent of the par
| ty. The truth is bluted out, the
only way in which it could ever
get out of Forney. Congress,
having by means of the bayonet
suppressed the legitimate govern
ments of the Southern States and
Iset up III their stead new govern
ments of it's own, has "placed"
these governments Gin possession
Iofn the Republicans of the
South" Mark the expression. It
is not pretended that "the Repub-
Ihcans of the Sonth," through their
numerical superiority fairly ascer-
tanned, have themselves got pos
session even of these governments;
mot at all. On the contrary, it is
confessed in So many words that
"the Republicans of the South"
lhaye been "placed by Congress in
possession of all the State govern
ments." This all the world knew
before, it is true; but it is some
thing TO receive so PLAIN a confes-
sion of it in the name of all the
Republicans.
On this ground, as we have
said, it is but reasonable that Con
Z gress should require of the South
ern Republicans San immense vote
for Grant and Colfax.o Congress,
having done it's part in the guilty
drama, very naturally expects
; "the Republicans of the South" to
do theirs /; which, seeing that il
[ consists only in using the power
"placed by Congress" in theil
"possession," will pretty certainly
) be done. If it is not, Congress
will pretty certainly do it for them
because the Republican party can
not afford to let it remain undon'
or half done. AS to the guilt O
the thing, the party is in no con
dition to hesitate. It is like Mac
9 beth after the murder of Banquo
! and might aptly exclaim with tn
! desperate thane of Cawdor:
