lie occupied the same position occupied by
tho Democratic party last fall, eonIenalng
that all the questions no. settled by Lees

Radical party In reference 10 the negro

Bureau, AT hrst they confessed that the ne
gro was incapable OF contracting for a
days work or side Of bacon, now by the
act OF their Congress, the negroes are the
only persons NJ 70 conduct the Affairs OF
this great government. IIeg gave humorous
definitions OF earpet-bngger and seallawag'
which made the former the better OF the

acts as Infamous, aud was vehement in de-
nunciaion Of the test-oaihs required under
them, which he affirmed were designed
solely 10 disfranchise oil democrats, and
thereby secure the grasp Of tho radical
party on power. His allusion to the case
of the infamous Joe Brown, Of Georgia,
who, during the war, instituted and con-
Quoted the Aniersonyille horror, and after
the war went over to the radicals, head,
arms, body, belly, legs and boots, was very
scalhng, and showed conclusively that
the radicals care nothing for principle and
thirst only for party power, INSCRIPTIONS
as to the means by which that end is at
tanned. lie showed conclusiyely that the
Radical revolutionary Republicans will no,
do to trust, how they have violated every
promise they ever made TO the people, and
abused all confidence ever rcposed in them.
Near the close of his speech, Capt. Conner
read his bill Of indictment against the
Radicals, something like this; They lave
imposed upon the country an immense ma
tional debt, twice as large rs was neccs-
sary in the conduct Of tile war, SO as to
enrich shoddy contractors. They sold
Government bonds for greenbacks, and
now seek to pay the same in gold, worth
35 per cent more than greenbacks. They
issued near two thousand millions Of dol
lars in bonds, which by the terms Of their
issue are payable in lawful money! and
now seek to pledge their payment in coin,
thus adding eight hundred millions to their
value, and fraudulently take that much
from the people. They have fastened upon
the country an infamous high protective
and prohibitory tariff, unequal in its oper-
atoms, unjust in its provisions, taxing the
West and South for the enrichment of the
East, and expressing the toiling millions
for the aggrandizement of the favored few.
They have driven States out of the Union
and sought TO reduce them to tho condition
Of dependencies, appointing military COM
to rule over them, empowered TO
remove State and county officers, dissolve
courts, and rob State treasures, appoint
State and county officers and try civilians
before drum head courts not controlled by |
any law or rules of evidence. They have
sought TO override the Constitution and
disregard the laws Of the Federal Govern
ment and Of the States. They have en-
deavored to engraft upon the Federal Con-
stitution, by force and fraud, amendments
totally at variance with the spirit and
character Of the Union, and subversive of
The principles of the Government They
are building up monopoles in every direc-
ton at the expense Of the taxpayers, and
are now using their influence to govern
the country through q bonded aristooracy,
which if persisted in must result in the
enslavement Of the people and the destruc-
ton of our form of Government.
The Captain proved his eligibility to the
office 10 which he aspires, and gavea salts
factory quietus to the charge of command
ing negro troops.
His speech was straight-out Democratic,
and at times was highly eloquent. 1t was
received with hearty applause.
