The Campaign in North Carolina.
Speech by Hon. Columbus DcIano.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 24.-Columbus Delano
delivered an address Today in support of the
administration. He denounced the unwarranta-
bic charges against the republican party and
Its administration ofpublic affairs, and the coal
ition against it, as one merely for public plum
der. A class OF Adventures, soldiers of for
tune, aud politicians out Of office, independent
OF all popular authority, and led by a senatorial
trumvrate, has, he said thrust Greeley before
the people as presidential candidate. The
speaker recounted the work of the republican
party, the killing of slavery, the en(ranchise-
ment OF the negro, the suppression of kukux the
giving OF guarantees for payment of the public
deot, providing OF pensions for crippled and
disabled soldiers aud orphans of those who died
for the cause, the refusal to assume the rebel
debt and to pay former masters Tor emancipated
slaves, all of which noble work was accom-
pllShed under persistent opposition of demo-
Gratis. GRANTS administration has settled all
the great questions raised by the war,-emanci-
patton, reconstruction, impartial suffrage gen.
era amnesty and civil service reform, have all
been secured; threatening differences with for
ei9n nations have been settled by treaty. and
the new and important principle of arbitration
introduced into foreign intercourse, while every
state is fully represented in congress. All par
Ties profess to acquesce, and no considerable
faction in any state continues openly to agitate
Tor the overthrow of these measures or dispute
the justice and wisdom of the republican policy
and economical, and here the administration
guided by principles which command the re-
Spect OF all candid men, has reduced taxation
paid three hundred and thirty millions of the
public debt, and lesSencd the annual interest
charge upwards Of twenty-five Millions
MIR. Delano detailed the acts passed by the
republican congress for the reduction of taxa
ton, and attributed the fact that so much OF the
public debt was nevertheless eXtinguiShed to an
efficient and faithful administration of the reve-
nue. laws and honest application of the money
collected, which, the speaker argued, ought TO
convince all candid men of the danger of disor-
ganizing or abandoning the republican party
Tor the purpose of experimenting with party
composed of dissatisfied republicans and clam
Orous democrats.
The speaker maintained that the record of the
administration in all civil affairs of the nation
had been pure and high in character and ability,
and is as remarkable as the energy and fidelity
oil Gen. Grant during the war.
Mr. Deano spoke at some length in sup
port of the Indian policy of the govern
ment, and then proceeded to speak of the unreal
sonable and frivolous charges against Grant
No public business, said the speaker suffers by
the presidents neglect, and the injustice of the
charge that he receives gifts is so apparent as
TO justify the eplthet of meanneSS and audacity
He concluded with the statement that the
democratic party is dead. Its adoption of the
Cincinnati platform and of the Cincinnati NOM
lnee is the announcement of its dissolution
The present canvass is its political requiem,
The Old democratic party having expired, the
members are not compelled to swallow the
Cincinnati platform and Tammany nomination
Also but are at liberty TO re-arrange their party
relations and join such organization as in their
Judgment will best promote the public peace
prosperity and welfare.
