OulS SuStains Greeley and Brown.
BOsToN, August 27.-The people sup
porting the administration must dis
jinCuish whether the concurrence of tn
Democratic party IS necessary or not
If they refuse It they viii be overthrow
as the South was, and the power Of thi
country for a quarter of century vii
pass into the hands OF those men WIT
were organized in general 'cOncGrrenc,
with all the parties and leaders il
the constitution as it stands amend
ed before the people. The tru,
course of the Republican party wa,
when il was understood that thi,
concurrence was desired, or they were
willing TO make it, to have accepted i
and to have organized the administra
ton upon the basis of an acquiescence in
the principles Of the war, and admitting
70 participation all those who were will
il7g 10 consent or acquiesce in these prin.
cirries. Why should it not have beer
done? ! will tell you. Because large
and powerful party have possession, and
desiring To continue it themselves fol
their own benefit, were unwilling tC
share with anybody else the advantage:
Of the administration Therefore III they
raieca the offer Of peace which comes
from all sections and all parties, they
will be destroyed, and that party which
lccepts will be installed in power by the
De0Dle. and that administration will be
inst and for the benefit Of the people.
However YOU may view incidents oi
the canvass, you will find hereafter that
that which tell you is as true as his
cory. and that is that the administration
Marty, with its leaders and with its or
ganization, will be destroyed by this
canvass. and new party Of wiser and
letter men will be installed by the peO-
ole in their places. IApplause.l This
will happen eveTfthOugh by accident Of
the canvass. General Grant may be
reelected, but he can never, no, never,
re-establish the power Of that party
of which he is now head, because
peoDle Of all parties and ali sections
are wise enough 10 recognize the errors
Of the past and come together with the
purpose Of removing those errors and
wiping out the consequences 20 them
selves and the country. We start IN
this canvass at its very threshold, with
the assurances Of success; with certain
~ Of triumph power viii 90 70 the PeO-
pie for what purpose? For the welfare
and interest Of all classes Of people To
that end that it may secure the rights
Of men of all classes and condition. So
far as the future is concerned, these great
objects having been established, we viii
turn our attention TO that which con
Germs the interests of the people, and
give to them 8 prosperity, power and
wealth that the world has never seen,
aud that no people less intelligent than
Americans have been able to participate
In or hope for. To say that party Or
ganized under such circumstances, for
such a purpose, to be indefinitely de-
Tea'e,l is impossible. have recalled to
YOU the career of the extreme pro-
: 'Eerv men; showing how they began
~ . single man 70 fight for the power
of Tire country, and their most extreme
VI .-ys were put into the constitution of
tf,- country. Our career is the same as
1uc,rs recognize the universal rights
or uian, as they did, supported and
guiGed not by abuse, but by an appeal
IL the reason and intelligence Of all
classes of men, and supported by the
private and personal interests OF all, and
in that view we assume TO ourselves that
success is certain and that defeat is i'm
possible. Loud applause.]
