League, and what have General Gordon or
his friends done to suppress those organi-
zations? There has undoubtedly been I'M
speakable tyranny in the southern States;
but upon reflection Senator Gordon will
probably agree that it was not. upon the
whole and in any great degree the work of
Republicans. In the very Georgia IN which
he made his speech, colored citizens are viz
tually excluded from juries. There is 10
tyranny more absolute than that OF which
this is an illustration, and such an illustra-
ton implies feeling ana system. Is the
Republican party responsible for such ~
ranuy: In the county OF Chatham. IN
Georgia, there are more than ten thousand
voters, of whom six thousand are colored.
on election day these votes are required to
be deposited at one po,ling-niace In the city
of Savannah. The purpose Is plain. 1t Is
practically 10 disiranchise large part OF
the voters, who must come into town from
the country. l. that a Republican form of
tyranny: Three weeks before Senator
Gordon spoke, Robert Toombs spoke in
the same place, and said that he gioried in
having defrauded voters at the polls. i
that also Republican tyranny: These
things are done. aud things of which these
are but Illustrations, under the national
ascendency of the Republican party. But
If. with the full knowledge OF them. the
country should iutru>t the control of the
national government IT, the party whose
success i earnestly desired by Robert
Teombs and Jefferson Davis anl the public
opinion which ostracizes The color,d citi-
! zen from the jury box and crowds him from
the ballot-boX, does Senator Gordon-docs
any man in hi> scnses-suppose that these
things would cease:

The Democratic party dominates for Coy
ernor in New Hampshire 4 man known on
ly as virulent Copperhead. IL sends from
Missouri as Senator another man with no
other claim whatever than that he was a
Confederate officer. Every thing little and
large. shows the instructive direction of
Democratic sympathy. Ii is not toward
liberty and the Union. and their friends
and defenders and policy. Ii is against
them. No man whom the Republicans
could by any possibility have appointed to
any position whatever could have named a
son for Abraham Lincoln's assassin. We
can assure General Gordon that there is
not the least Misrepresentation upon these
points here at the North. There is no vim
dictiveness toward the South. But there
is very general conviction that it is not
desirable to put at the helm those whom
the admirers OF Mr.. Lincoln's assassin
would like to see there.
This is plain, practical feeling. 1t is
an instinct. and it will elect a Republican
President this year. Far from being elect
ed under misrepresentation, lie will be the
conclusive proof of the clear and sound APP
prehension of the country. His election
will show that the country feels the lmpor-
lance of retaining the government in hands
whose honesty and patriotic fidelity are I'M
questioned and unquestonable and that il
sees that sound financial policy and i'm
perative reforms are not necessarily to be
expected from party which has tried
within the year to carry two of the great
States for soft money, and which includes
every kind and degree OF Hambleton-
