England. Another obligation rests upon
us-to protect them, so that they shall not
be huntcd down ike Wild beasts and i'm
prisoned; to insist that they shall enjoy full
liberty. If could have the power of a
gentleman upon this stage, | could tell you
n narrowing tale of bloodshed ard cruel
wrong. You know our candidate for the
vice presidency. Within forty eight hours
he has told Vermont audience
how, IN his seat in congress, he
had heard the horrors of Libby prison jus
titled. We know that when Ben Hill
spoke apologiziug for the south his state
ments were SO 1agiant that the wiser
members decided that the entire speech
must not appear. There were passages sup
pressed which were filled with smooth, So
norous phfascs indended for reading in
Vermont.
In the south the school system needs at
tentlon. The funds have been appropriate
cd for other purposes There are hundreds
uf miles in that country where there is no
more cha lce for u schOOl-house than on
the top of Mount Holly. without our
help there is no chance for the education
OF the negroes, nor of that class of whites,
who are as much meaner than negroes as
PUSSY Is than pigweed. If we are def, al
ed there will be be sections of the south
wbele no one will be able to write his
name. They can not now acquire land or
the intelligence to cultivate it. The south
cin policy is to keep the land in the hands
of the slave owners, and laws looking to
hat end are enacted. Que of the popular
conditions of employment is that the negro
shall not seek employment elsewhere, and
if he leaves one employer for another he
is liable to indictment for the act.
What sort of candidates do the demo.
Gratis offer us? | will not take time to
prove to that Hayes is the right man for
president. The bright pages of history are
familiar to all. His fidelity to duty and
his courage have been tested, and he has
become the idol of the north. Is Tilden to
be trusted? He has history running over
siXty-tive years. He has never been mar
ried. The holy influence of woman has
never been brought to bear TO soften that
hard, selfish heat If he should 20 into
the White house, he ought to come here to
Vermont and get wife to accompany
him and-(Cries of No, No. Gov. Page re.

Ladies Of Rutland--I stend here charged
with having insulted you and your sex
absolutely refuse. There is no sacrifice
which the women of Vermont ale not able
and willing to make for the good of the
country. Tie Vermont mothers who could
surrender their sons 10 their country and
like the old Roman matrons follow them
to the grave, could furnish woman wht
would regeneratc even SO barren and heart
less a man as Samuel J. Tildtn. Cheers.
q I'm hD1 In,
James Buchanan, who rendered presidents
of that stamp at once infamous and immor
tai. Mr.. 1ilden is an unexceptionable
gentleman, man of culture, well verset
in political literature, admirably posted il
party tactics, the manipulating of men int
making them do what they don't want t.
do, and what on the whole they
ought not TO do In the ats o.
the petty demagogue he is without
rival. AS lawyer, in his experience
with shipwrecked railroad companies as at
torney, general agent, a sort of mongre
trustee, and as purchasing committee, ht
has been as successful as any know of.
is said that he is great lawyer; that b.
understands the Interpretation of the con
stitution that he is great reasoner in tn
courts, and holds high place in advocacy
The truth is that for eighteen years, tn,
proudest in his life, be did not appear NOR
than three times in the higher courts of th
state of New York, and he has never ap
peared even for single time upon a con
| stitutonal question before the highest tri
bunal in the country. In March, 1S4S, h
was admitted to practice in the Unite,
States supreme court, and since that dat
| has not argued a case before that tribunal
| SO much for him as ':great lawyer"
| How stands Mr. Tildcu as patriot
| You remember in 1860 when the countr,
was shaken to and fro with the agitation
which brought Abraham Lincoln to tin
| presidency. The great question under les
was what the constitution and the govern
ment was. There never was a time whel
| the significance of the discussion was 81
| great. All the good men embraced in tn
democratic party went over, and nothing
was left of it but the rump. Where d.
| you find Samuel j. Tilden in those days
Did he worship the political gods of tn
north, or the southern baal / have il
ruy pocket letter written to Judge vii
| liam Kent, my law partner at that time
| 10y Samuel j. Tilden, in October. 1860, dc
| tining his view of the constitution. TIL
| theory advanced in that letter is in accor,
with the south and the rebel leaders an,
with them he has been ever since. In tina
precious document he says that the state
are held together by a single, slender. con
ventional tie. That was the doctrine o
jefferson Davis and all the south. Mr.
| Tilden, speaking of the trainers Of the con
sliiutlOn, calling them 'ihe fathers" say
that they did not recognize constitutions
right OF secession, but they left revolution
organized, until the public Opinion
of q state should demand its eX
ercise. He further claimed that Their
was no power of coercion to apply to
ststc wishing to dissolve the Union. Jerr
Black formulated the same doctrine 70
Buchanan's cabinet. He never accepts
the doctrine of the exclusion of SLAYER
from the new states, he held with til
white men Of the south that slavery was
divine institution, be was a seCessionst i
moral aud legal theory and philosophy.
