was always to minister to the pros
perity of that section, which prosper
| ity would be shared like by the white
man and the negro. The III ndustry OF
the, South should be made profitable.
Unless the employer made o profit
up6n. his, cotton crop, he could not
pay the laborer. Failing to do this,
the disaster brought not only poverty,
but confusion and discontent.1 True
statesmanship would have stretched
ont helping hand; but what was the
first act Of the men in power? It was
to put monstrous export tax of six
cents pound upon the cotton raised
by the lnhor of the negro upon the
plantation Of the whites. Struggling
with the evils of poverty, with the
difficulties of the new position and
relationship, the first feeble efforts of
their people to gain the means of
livelihood, were blasted by on unwise,
selfish and vindictive net. L say un-
wise. because it has much to do with
the future of the Republicans, to re.
store order at the South. The negro,
exasperated by the failure of his ru-
ined employer, became hostile to him.
The employer, losing the little credit
that he had before in the North, re-
newed his efforts under still greater
difficulties than before. 1 say it was
selfish act, because it was done in
the interest of the Eastern manufac-
turer. already wealthy from the fruits
OF the war, protected by enormous
tariffs. This tax of six per cent.
pound on all cotton exported, was
simply imposed so that he might buy
1t for price-six cents less than il
was worth in the markets of the world.
l say it was vindictive act, for if you
will read the debate in Congress when
this tax was levied, to cover the selfish
interests that prompted it, you will
find that it was urged upon the mem
bers from the Western States, who
voted against the interests of their
constituents, upon the pound, that it
was to be imposed upon the people as
a penalty; and thus we find that the
black and the white man of the South
were alike stripped of the market
value of their staple product, under
circumstances Of such great difficulty,
that they were hindered and not help
ed on the road to prosperity, by the
men III power. Applause. L might
go on and show how, in addition to
this wrong, they were trampled npon
by military despotism; how they we're
placed under the unrestrained power
OF vaSrant men, who gained wealth
and official position by ministering to
the passions of the public, and keep
ing alive disorder. These men, who
now, IN the Senate of the United
States, without constituents, vote
down the senatorial-represcntatives of
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illi-
nols and Indiana, gained their power
over the South and over MS, because
they ministered to the passion in the
North, and stirred up disorder in the
South. Who of the fair minded,
thoughtful Republicans. will calmly
sit down and look over this action,
and not feel that the policy of his
party has been unwise and hasty."

EXECUTIVE MANSION.


ff3WAsHMeToN, October %, 1868.
Hon. HoRAT1o SEYMOUR: L see il
announced in the papers, this morn
ing, that you will enter the Presiden-
tia1 canvass in person. I trust this
may be SO, as the present position of
public affairs .justifies and demands
it. It is hoped and believed by your
friends, that all enemies to the Con
stitntion and Government, whether
secret or avowed, will not be spared,
and that their arbitrary and unjust
usurpations, together with their
wasteful, profigate and corrupt use
of .the peoples treasure, will be sig
naIly exposed and rebuked. The
masses of the people should be
aroused and warned against the en-
croachments of despotic power, now
readyto enter the citadel of liberty.
7 trust that you may speak with an
inspired tongue. and that your voice
may penetrate every just and patri-
otto breast throughout the land. Let
the living principles of the violated
Constitution be proclaimed and re-
stored, that peace, prosperity and
fraternal feelings may return to our
divided and oppressed nation.
