of the country, and slavery would
have continued many a long year yet
if it had not been brought into poll
tics and used to consolidate sixteen
States in the elections, The great
monopolies which have not stepped
into the shoes Of slavery as the gov
erning power will come next. And
when we see the Supreme Court
packed at the dictation of one OF
these great corruptions to have the
legal tender decision revoked and
suspension thus perpetuated in order
to relieve it of its pecuniary obliga-
tions-and this by President who
is SO strenuous for resumption no
one can fail to see in whose hands
all real power over the Government
is lodged, and whence all the corrup-
ton comes that is eating out the
heart of our free institutions. The
first thing to be done, therefore, is to
rescue this Government from irres-
ponsible power. For this we want a
peoples party, in which resumption
lists and infationists, protectionists
and free traders, Republicans and
Democrats, black people and white,
in a word, all sincere believers in
popular government may join to re-
claim the Government for the peo-
pie.
A party so organized would give us
an honest and economical admins
tration, under whose benign infuen-
ces, industrial interests would revive,
and the discussions of race and sec
ton disappear.
ERoM G. F. PUTNAM, CHAIRMAN OF THE
NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATIC STATE
COMMITTEE.
I think you will pardon me a sin
gle word in behalf of the New Hamp-
shire Democracy, who for nineteen
years, have struggled against what
at times seemed to be insurmountable
difficulties, but have at last won a
most signal victory. They feel that
they have reason to be proud of that
victory, and are entitled to the con-
gratulations of the Democracy of the
whole country for their unfaltering
devotion to the principles of the par
ty, which they have never failed to in
corporate into their platform, and
have always defended through their
press and upon the stump,
At last they rejoice in their success,
and they now believe that with hon
est and capable men selected for po-
sitions of honor and trust, the party
and country will take a new start,
and rival even it's former greatness
and prosperity.
FROM GOV. VIM. P. wHYTE OF MARYLAND.
I trust that such wise counsel and
prudence may prevail among the
leading members of the Democratic
party, that our present success may
be but the fore-runner of a great rev
olution in public sentiment, by which
corruption shall be .banished from
high places; imbecility in the admin
tration of the departments of the Gov
ernment may be supplanted by men
tal apd moral capacity.
FROM JOHN II. HARRIS, NJ. C. OF VIRGINIA.
May the meeting of our club give
additional impetus to the tide which
now seems setting against consolida-
lion, and in favor ofthe rights of the
people and the preservation OF con-
5titutional liberty.
FROM CONGRESSMAN SAMUEL j. RANDALL.
The gathering will be an important
one, and L hope wisdom will guide
your counsels.
FROM RICHARD vAUX OF PHILADELPHIA.
Louisiana, South Carolina, Arkan-
'as, the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, the gold value of the Fed
sral elastic paper dollar, the white
aborer asking bread, and the radical
office holder rioting in public plum
Ter. These are some of the glorious
of a party that has Grant
or its chief, the negro for its sup
port, and the Sanborns, Jaynes and
Buffers for its idols, and sets its hope
or immortality on the odious "Civil
Rights Bill"
FROM SENATOR JoNHNsToN OF VIRGINIA.
The late elections are certainly
very gratifying, and afford us reason
lble ground to hope Tor a restoration
If the Government to better hands.
FROM GOV. WESTON OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
l must, however assure you that
ihe recent Democratic victory achiev-
I'd in this State is the result of no
accident; but it is the expression of
he sober judgment Of our people,
which may be regarded as permanent
ind reliable hereafter. With wise
,ounsels IN State and nation o glorl-
lus future is assured.
FROM HON. DEDRICH G. wELLERs.
It is fitting and proper that the
Democracy should give expression in
D suitable manner to q feeling of sat
and rejoicing at the signal
success recently achieved in two of
he New England States, which until
presested united front to
lhe advance of the Democratic col
INN. The Democracy and Conserv-
ltives have but to perfect their re-
yanization, and to bring out the vote,
% insure an overwhelming majority
1t the Gubernational election next
Fall, Notwithstanding any Legislation
limed to embarrass or prevent the
,asting or canvass Of our full vote;
md by a victory thus achieved to in
spirit our brethren in other States to
'enewed exertions for the great Pres
dental contest for 1876.
