speech or free conscience. 1t is a source,
too, of wealth. Germany and Ireland have
illustrated it from abroad. Twehty niil-
lions of dollars annually come from Gar
many alone as consequence of the exer-
else OF this right from abroad. How mi oh
would come from a fair and free locomo-
tion within this land from North to South,
Hthese PRINCIPLES were now observed.
THE SOUTH AND THE WAR.
.OurcfvI war lett the South in "a state OIL
rrible.destitution.A There was, however,
an attractive force to men and capital in |
tne very. devastation of the South. Many |
went thlther to remain in good faith as cit
izens. They gave their wealth, their house
holds, their labor, their enterprise, to their
new home. They went thither, amino ma |
1,e,tdt. They did not go for spoliation or
honors. They did not ask for confiscation.I
They were of the t'well-to-dou kind at
home, but wished to do better in theSouth.
They were desirable population. They
deserved and received encouragement
They did not seek to play jaekals to the
lions of war; or to be lhyenas among the
e aves of the dead. They sought not to
exercise their right of lucomotion to raw
aye; buttto aid the South and themselves.
We should discriminate between these and
anotherelass. No man in Georgia objects
to an artisan coming there to help manu-
facture cotton. No one in Louisiana COM
plains If stranger rids the wasted sugar
plantations of that State of the alligator.
No one in Texas complains of the German
who goes there to raise cereals cotton,, or
f1ue,cattle for the Northern market. f.r,,

Thecomplaint begins when the myrmid-
ons Of political power, the mercenaries and
hangers-on OF the army, the Bureaucrats
and adyenturers, VINO have tno local habi-
tation or name,n seek to spoil the land
and people. Such are the men who, ha-
wing dislocated, by their devices, the indus
tries of the South, and having entranchised
the inferior, andldisfranchised the superior
race, steal the honors and offices that be-
long to self governments, and run riot in
the means which belong to the people who
live in the States. These men are the
cuckoos who! sit upon the eggs of other
birds. They are the "dead beats'' of poll
tics, the scum which rises to the top of the
p 1litlcal boiler. cloud appiause.) The
''carpet- Dagger" is not to be described ex-
actly as man with carpet bag; but the
fact that the first legislators and spoilers
in the South moved round in a mysterious
way, with black carpet bags, having little
to 90 on and much to get, gave the
name a generic application. He has
now a fixed status. 3 He Is
seldom found among white people, but
rather cultivating the negroes, inspiring
He has no means of support, except he
earns it by his management of negroes.
He makes out of negro credulity prey and

on the reconstruction schemes looming up
he became a statesman daughter, hiss

gave out rations. He registered votes. He
became an organic law maker, member
of the Legislatures. The less he had, the

back! His present occupation is to attend
to the election, coin lies for Northern cir

appear as unrepentant rebels /! (Applause9
tyCHsNacFs CAN WE STAND IT? L Aaaos1
I do not think nation can stand it, re-
constructed with such loose material. No
nation ever did long stand the rule of alien
people Read the Declaration of Inde-
pendencei The greatest grievances ofyour
fathers-that which Redeemed Jersey with
blood-was the 'screation of multitude of
new offices,n and a 'sswarm of officers from
abroad to harrass the people and eat out
their sustenance." The establishment of a
foreign Jurisdiction, the quartering of large
bodies of armed troops and the transports

to complete the works OF death, desolation
and tyranny, were the causes of our revc-
luton. 9(Applause.) Are not these causes
potent to-day? (s'Yes, ,yes.") Did not Mr..
Lincoln, when he was first inaugurated,
promise to send on officers South except
those "racy to the soil % He said, an
ticipating this carpet-bag business, "There
will be no y attempt to force OBJ
noxious strangers among the peo-
ple' for office holding. This was wise;
but has this wisdom been practised? ("No.")
We have now as consequence what the
Declaration says: tsCrueity and pertidy
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous
ages, and totally unworthy OF civilized
nation." This cannot continue. These
consequences are seen in the criminations,
oltrages 0and murders which are illus-
trating Radical rule--the rule of strangers
in a strange land. There can be no safety,
prosperity or order under the continuance
of such rule. Mr.. Cox then discussed the
fiscal questions at length, and wound up
with an appeal to New Jersey to maintain
her old Democratic majorities and her rev.
olutionary fame in despite of all political
auguries. He believed in the perpetuity of
the Repu bic, and would work for it, as his
ancestors had before him. E d7i5 I'd

applause, and amid the deepest interest. ~
