Hon. George H. Pendleton at Connersville
Indiana,

We make the following extracts from
a speech of that great and talented states
man GEORGE II. PrNDIEroS, at Conncrs-
vile, Indiana:
Ny Feliow Citizens / am here to-day
in performance Of promise which l
made to a number Of gentlemen from
your city, who came TO ask my attend
alce upon one of your meetings. l
promised them that il | were alive and
well would be here today. lam alive,
but not very well-but, nevertheless, i
chose to fulfill that promise. i do not
propose in what have to say to you to
day to detain you long. circumstances
were different, should be glad to address
you at length upon those subjects of po-
litical interest which have brought this
magnificent crowd together 80
Since accepted that invitation have
been to the extreme North eastern dis,
trct Of the United States away to the val
ley of the Penobscott, and seen the Dem
ocrats of Maine. They asked me what
you intended to do in Indiana. told
them that as certain as the day came the
electoral vote of this noble State would
be given for Horatio Seymour. Cheers,
They asked me what We would do in
Ohio. told them that We would do all
that freemen battling for their rights
could do. And can tell you, my fellow
citizens, as have travelled to the extreme
North eastern district of the United
States, as passed through Connecticut,
through New York, through New Hamp
shire, through Massachusetts, aye, even
through Vermont, found everywhere,
in all portions of the country, Democrats
of whom you in Indiana would be proud.
Applause. Men of the same faith, be-
lieving in the same doctrine, looking for
ward to that party as the common deliv-
erer ofour country from the evils which
have been entailed upon It by Radicalism.

CONCLUSION.


Now, gentlemen, told you in the be
ginning that / did not intend to address
you at any length Cries of" Go on

you any longer have spoken to you
upon these two topics very imperfcctly
| know. But If you knew how much |
have suffered since / have been speaking
to you, you would consider with very
indulgent eye. any imperfections in what
| have said to you.
Are you up and ready for your fight in
Octoberp Voices-"We are"l Are
you going to carry Indianaa Voices

five thousand Well, now, be sure it
twenty thousand. Garry it in October
That is more important than November
Get it right in October, and it will go
right of itself in November. Cheers.
You have got good cause. You have
got good candidates. The New York
Convention did its duty in nominating
Seymour and Blair. They have present
ed to you candidates worthy of your suf-
frages. Come up to their support and
see to it that the powers Of the Govern
ment are taken out of the hands of the
Radicals.
Let me tell you one thing, my friends
upon the result of the elections IN Ohio
and Indiana and Illinois in October will
depend the result in November. Do you
remember in 1856 the contest chat wo
then had when Mr.. Buchanan was a can
didate for the Presidency? His own
State of Pennsylvania, in the October
election, hung trembling in the balance
and it was doubtful whether he could be
elected 1t belonged to the gallant State
of Indiana to give ten thousand majority
on that very day for Willard for Govern
or, and it was that that infused spirit into
the Democratic party. 1t was that that
gained the Presidential victery. 1t was
that that secured Mr.. Buohanan's cleo.

DO your duty. as | know you viii in
October next, and we will answer back to
you from Ohio. Loud ckeers. AND
when We elect Seymour, We will pay ths
debt in greenbacks, cheers and we viii
take the foot of the negro from the face
Of the white man, and we will renew oul
Constitution and renew our prosperity
and bind together this whole people from
one end of the country, to the other 1t
that fraternal lovs and unity in which tn,
Government was originally created.
thank you for your attention.

| | renew the recommendation contained in my
communication to Congress dated the 18th July
| last-a copy OF which accompanies this message
that the judgment of the people should be taken on
the propriety of so amending the Federal Consttu-
| that it shall provide
1st. For an election Of President and Vice Pre-
sident by direct vote of the people, instead of
through the agency of electors, and making them
ineligible for collection TO Il second term
I'd. For distinct designation of the person who
shall discharge the duties of President in the event
of vacancy in that office by the death, resigna-
ton or removal of both the President and Vice
President,
Sd. For the election Of Senators Of the United
States directly by the people Of the several States
instead of by the Legislatures and
4th. For the limitation to period of years of the
terms of Federal judges.
Profoundly impressed with the proprety of max
ing these important notifications in the Constitu-
ton, respectfully submit them for the early and
mature consideration of Congress. We should as
far possible remove all pretexts for violations Of
the organic law, by remedying such imperfections
do anu may ucNclOP, CNet
bering that ''the Constitution which at any time
lists until changed by explicit and authentic act
of the whole people, is sacredy obligatory upon all.
In performance of duty imposed upon me by
the Constitution, have thus communicated to Con-
gress information of the state of the Union, and re-
commended for their consideration such measures
as have seemed to me necessary and expedient. If
carried into effect they will hasten the accomplish
ment Of the great and benetcent purposes for which
the Constitution was ordained, and which it com
prehensiyely states were ''to form more perfect
Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence, promote the gene
raj welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity" In Congress are yes
ted all legislative powers and upon them deyolyes
the responsibility as well for framing unwisc and
excessive laws, for negecting to devise and adopt
measures absolutely demanded by the wants of the
country. Let earnestly hope that before the ex-
piration of our respective terms of service, now
rapidly drawing to close an all-wise Providence
will so guide cOunsels to strengthen and pre-
serve the Federal Union, inspire reverence for the
Constitution, restore prosperity and happiness to
our whole people, and promote con earth peace,
good will toward men,"
