AND BLAIR.
EXTRACT FROM A SPEECH At DANYILLE,
AUG. 29th, 1868.

GFNTIEMEH: 4 cause should have pro
per representatives. We propose to re-
form the finances of the country. We
propose to apply the public taxes honestly,
and as far as possible, upon the pubic debt
We propose that there shall be far play
between al classes of our people with ref
erence to the acton OF the government up
on them: that there shall be one uniform
currenc, for The whole people, AID not diff
ferenL kiads of currency for Different ciGs-
ses Of people. We propose, at The earliest
possible day, to return 70 the constitutional
currvncy-gold and silver-the otaudard
OF value throughout The world, and a de
partur. from which, during the necesitie,
Of war brought upon Us great evils under
which we must labor until We get back
again to a sound, sale aud constitutional
system. We propose in the South to rs
move the hand Of congressional power aud
TO have republican governments there
again, instituted by tn people themselves
| in peace aud qnet. We propose that
prosperity shall resume lis coarse in that
section oi the Union, and thst he people
there, by having a tar chance and fair play,
shall assist Us in bearing the burdens OF
oar comacu Government. and 10 assist as
ta m.igt.,u iLe honor and eiyry Of our
Country IL the future.
