BOutwelI's bloody Chasm.
RALEIGH, N. c., July II Boutwell,, ir
a speech at Greensboro, N. c., protested
against the advice to clasp hands across the
bloody chasm. The cbasm must be filed
up. Il was produced by injustice, Jet it be
cemented with justice. 1t cannot be filed
by denial Of protection to native born citi-
zens of the United States in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Texas. He counseled
his hearers to be not seduced by the idea
that the Democrats are supporting Re
| publican for the Presidency, and said il
their candidate could offer what he cannot
offer, consistent life in the past as a
pledge of his policy in the future,
even this would be without value in the
presence of the fact that nearly all his
supporters are from the Democratic party.
In the nature of things the bloody chasm
cannot be filed until fixed majority Of
the South accept the doctrine not only that
men are equal before the law, but that
all men by right are equal before the
law. If bitterness once existed it had
passed away. One act of justice only re-
mains to be done. The country waits for
the evidence that you heartily and cheer
fully accept the full rights of citizens under
the Constitution of the United States to all
within your borders. Give this evidence
and the bloody chasm is closed.
Mr.. Boutwell, presented at length he Fl.
nancial policy of Gen. Grants administers
ton and claimed that none more than the
President will strive to make the Union
| what it ought to be-a general Government
strong enough to maintain its own exist
ence against all enemies, foreign or domes-
tic; strong enough to protect the rights OF
its citizens at home and abroad; States with
power full, complete, sovereign over all To-
cal affairs, members of Union indissolu-
BILE and so attractive that no citizen shall
hereafter consider whether his duty to his
State or his country is supreme.
Now, continued Mr.. Boutwell,, if You con.
template electing Mr.. Greeley to the Presi-
dency, you must contemplate it in view oi
the fact that the Senate, whatever may be
the present opinion of the country, will be
Republican for the next two years, and with
almost equal certainty for the next four
| years. 2 You must contemplate, therefore, a
return of the state of things that existed
during Johnson's administration. You vii
secure the retention of dishonest men in
Office and the appointment of dishonest meT
to office by processes which do not admit O1
control.
Secretary Boutwell, expressed his belie
of the impracticability Of continuing the re-
demption of the outstanding six per ceRi
bonds and the issue offs, y and 4per cents
and said it must be accepted as a truth fol
this country in its present condition that the
resumption of specie payments will not bt
due directly to any measure, nor can it be for
chilly maintained by any act of the govern
ment. 1t must be the natural result of al
existing condition of things which woulC
enable the government to resume specie
payments without affecting violently or pre-
iudicially the great interests Of the country
The further equalization in the value o
coin and currency viii depend on the in
crease and business of the country, the
amount of our exports and the value
of the foreign trade Of the
United States carried on in America1
vessels. There is but one measure of leg
isIation except such as foster the interest:
of the country that can facilitate or haster
the resumption of specie payments, an(
that is reduction by force of law of thC
vol-rne of paper money in circulation
This policy the country has not been able
to accept, nor one l prepared to advocate
the adoption of a measure which
unless very gradual in its operation
would produce great injury to the bushes!
interests of the country, impair the reve
: nues and in the end cost more than tn
value of the result produced. The growtl
of the country under wise administration
of affairs will soon enable the government
to resume specie payments without vic
lence or injury to any.
