South ever asked me directly or through
another any other pledge than is given In
an my acts and words from the hour of
| Lees surrender down to this moment No
! Southern man ever limited to me an
! expectation. hope or wish that the rebel
! debt, whether Confederate or State, should
| be assumed or paid by the Union, No
| Southern man who could be elected TO n
| Legislature, or made colonel of military
| Regiment, ever suggested the pensioning Of
all the rebel soldiers or any Of them, even
as r remote possibility. All who nominated
me were perfectly aware that upheld and
justified federal legislation to repress Ku-
KluX COnspiracies and OutTages, though /
had long ago insisted as 5trenuously as /
n NV do that complete amnesty and general
oblivion of the bloody, hateful past, would
do more for the suppression and utter ex-
tinctiOn of such Outrages than all the force
bills and suspensions of habes corpus ever
devised by man. Wrong and crime
must be suppressed and punished, but
far wiser and nObleT is the legislatiOn-ths
policy by which they are prevented. From
those who support me in the South have
heard but one demand-iustice; but one
INSTRUMENTATION. They wish to be
heartily reunited, and at peace with the
North on any terms which do not involve
the surrender of their manhood They ask
that they should be regarded and treated
by the federal authorities as citizens, and
not as culprits, so long as they obey and
uphold every law consistent with equality
and right. They desire a rule which, alike
for white and black, shall encourage indus
try and thrift and discourage rapacity and
villaiDy.
They cherish a joyful hope in which
fully concur, that between the fifth of No
vember and the fourth of March next quite
q number of Governors and other dignata-
Ties who, in the absurd name of Republican
ism and loyalty, have been for years piiing
debts and taxes upon their war-wasted
States, will follow the wholesome example
of Bullock, of Georgia, and seek the shades
Of private life; the darker and deeper those
shades, the better for themselves and for
mankind.
The hope that my election may hasten
the much-desired hegira of thieving carpet
baggers has recOnciled to the necessity of
supporting me many who would otherwise
have hestated and probably refused.
FellOw-Gitizens, the deposed and partially
eXiled Tammany ring has stolen about
$50, 900, 900 from the city of New York, That
was q most gigantic robbery, and hurled
its cOntrivers and abettOrs from power and
splendOr to impOtency and infamy The
thieving carpet-baggers have stolen three
times that amount at least; have stolen il
from people already impoverished and
needy, and they still iaunt this prosperous
villainy in the highest places of the land,
and are addressed as honorable" and eek
cellency." [Applause.l l think l hear
voice from the honest people of all tho
States declaring that their iniquity shall be
gainful and insolent no longer, at the fur
thest, than the fourth of March next.
By that time a national verdict will
be pronounced that will cause them to
Fold their tents, ike the Arabs,
And silently steal away
And l trust will be the end of their stealing
at the cost of the good name of our cOun-
try and the well being of her people.
At the conclusion of his speech, Mr.. Gree
