MONDAY, AUGUST 9.

Senator Morton; of Indiana, made speech
at UrbaDna, Ohio, on Saturday, in which he as
serted that Alexander H. Stephens was rep.
preventative Southern man and democrat, and
held that the views of that gentleman in favor
of State sovereignty were "bloodstaiDed and
reasonable doctrine and that they were iu-
dorsed by the Northern democrats He believed
that, with but few exceptions, the democrats
regarded the colored people as a race that ough,
still to be enslaved. He then spoke in favor OF
the specie resumption bill of the last Congress
and criticized the Ohio democratic platform,
combating the greenback theory and claiming
that it was hypocritical and treacherous de-
sing to destroy the national banks, then to
destroy the greenbacks themselves, and finally
restore the old State bank system.
