ing Of Republicans OF Springfield, O., thi.
evening. He SAID the cry that parties
cannot live on their past as Incentive

Just, but as an inducement for the people
70 ignore lives Of men was preposterous,
Everybody knows from their experience
and daily lives that character Is highes,
OF the lists Of fortunes; but character In
parties as individuals was found not In
the profession Of excellence, but in that
million Of witnesses, the actsuof life. It
was the climax OF audacity tostnake the
proposition 10 letbygones be bygones In

impelled by admonitions like these, the

ing perfldy of Mr.. Greeley's that
In selecting our ruler and hestowing hon.
ors, we shall give the same honor 10 the
acts In the overthrow Of liberty, as to
them who defeated, and hence he, the
speaker, would proceed with malice TO-.
wards none, to the scrutiny Of great
lives and other than great platforms, 10
see who are the fittest 10 take care OF our
liberties and destinies, and he would
scrutinize the first and second resolutions
at Baltimore. That the Colored race
should escape from the Republican and
fly to the Democratic party, in order TO
make safe their liberty and equality. He
appealed to the career Of these parties in
its relations TO the black race. He then
compared the records Of the two parties,
reciting the results accomplished by the
Republican party, and the resistance to
them by the Democratic party-especially
its hostility TO the colored race-and yet
the colored race is invited to the betrayal
OF their race on the preposterous sham Of
Democracy, stimulated by the acceptance
Of the secondhand Cincinnati platform,
already smeared at Memphis and in
Georgia with the blood Of his race, and
In Ohio by large Democratic organized
conspiracy against that race. He then
proceeded to show the position on the
tariff. 1t declares in the sixth resolution
that laws should not unnecessarily inter-
fere with labor, but that this subject
should be decided by Congress, wholly
free from Executive interference. twas

political paltrooning, unique and disgust.

letter covenant between convintion and
its President 10 be elected, that he
should trample the Constitution into
dust by covenant; that the tariff bills
should become laws without being sent to
or considered or signed by the President,
or II sent and signed that this should be
a mere farce form, because the covenant
bound him to love them wholly uncon-

spiracy and Its execution treason, for
which the authors could by existing law
be put to death. ~ E ~,
He then passed to contrast between the
livesiof the two parties as shown in the
other interests Of the nation. The Demo-
cratic administration of johnson and
Tammany Hall were our last on one
side, Grants on the other, furnished for
the peoples analysis. The former had 30
surrendered to the rings Of a thousand
criminals that 1t was shown up that un-
der the laws imposing taxes nearly double
those allowed to Grant, johnson
had stolen one.fourth OF the Inter.
nal Revenues had in his administration,
paid but thirteen millions Of the debt, and
left the national faith so tarnished by his
reputation message, by his pocket veto of
the bill that pledged the payment OF the
debt, by Pendleton schemes OF repudia.
tion, and the like, until our per cent.
gold bonds in 1858 were at 90 per cent.
discount, and gold worth from 80 to 40
per cent. proceeded to show in detail
the corruption and wrongs OF that Admin.
lstration, and then to contrast that with
the present time. Three hundred and
thirty.three millions of our debt paid, in
Grants three years; the annual interest
reduced twenty-three millions; bonds at
par; gold at 1l2, and the national faith
and credit as good as that Of the best ma.
tion in the world. He then proceeded to
statement Of the personal aspects Of the
canvass as seen in the characters of the
candidates. After stating the folly and
danger of destroying that great party EN-.

didate. He proceeded to show the ipjus.
tice OF the assumption that Greeley was
the better man. He noticed the organ
lied schemes Of detraction arranged
against Grant as unprecedented in the
history Of political licentiousncss. He
showed the attacks on him to be mere
concerted lndecencies, made up for an
election, and concluded by declaring that
he knew the President, and repelled these
attempts as another assassination of an.
other President, who was the nations
first citizen, first magistrate and formost
defender. Hesaid cold, impartial history
would soon record that the results Of
Grants life were the grandest events
of the century, and included the
rescue OF the Union and the res.
