FELLOW CITIZENS: The wise King

Gently had rehearsal of the pump

number of men were collected at u

of rekindling the bitterness and
hatred, the unimusities and antipa.

mails of Pittsburgh, a. well as the or-
ators on this occasion, have been
trying their best to make us. the
people, hate each other for the sake
of Ia partisan advantage. A stranger
would imagine, who was reading tie
journals of Pittsburgh for the last
few days, that We We're still ~ war,
and that their purpose was TO revive
and eXasperate the hatred and ami
mostly of civil war, in order To in
tpusily and invigurate their side of
the conflict. They talk about rebels
and traitors. Fellow citizens are we
never 10 be done with this? We de-
manded -four adveTsaIies in tie great
civil war that they surrender their
arms and go to their homes. They
surrendered them. We demanded
that they entranchise the blacks,
and the blacks are enfranclised.
None but white men stand disiran-
clised on the soil of our country,
We demanded that they stiDniato
that the emuncipated slaves should
not he paid for, and that the rebel
debt shall not lie paid for 10y the Cow
ernment or 10y the state, and they as
sentpd to that. So far n | can see
every demand made on the part of
the loyal States and the loyal people
has been fully complied with on the
part of those lately in rebellion.
Everything has been done that we
asked, everything has been conceded
and still they tell us they want
them To repent. Have they not
brought forth works meet for repent
ance? And thus coming together
i'm solemn convention they, the rep
resentatives of the Southern people,
have given their assent To the plat
form of the Cincinnati Convention,
which was The most intense, the most
complete Republican platform that
has ever been represented by any ma
tiunal convention whatever. All
this being done, we are told hy these
gentlemen who met here, all this
is mnckery, all this is lraud; you
don't mean anything 10y ii; and the
cry goes ON, ''rebeiS aud traitors! !
rebels aud traitors " with denuncia-
tiOn and prescription as ever Four
year, ago, in the Republican Nation
al Convention, it was declared that
this prescription should speedily
cease. -Four years have passed and
still it Is maintained that there are
this day thousands of people of Ar
kansas prohibited. The most iutel-
ligent, the most responsible people of
that State are firbidden 10 exercise
the right uf suffrage, forbidden eX-
cluSively by party, the party that
meets here and shouts for Grant and
Wilson. Nobody else asks for pro-
scriptinn but them. No one doubts,
no other party requires that any hI-
man being shOuld stand prescribed
on soil for rebellion that ceased
seven and q half years ago. No par
