This gentleman, who is the Dsmo.
cratic candidate for congress in the
sixth district of Mississippi, was intro
duced last night by Mr.. z. J. Kelly.
General Chalmers expressed his
thanks for the invitation extended him
to address the people of the first ward.
Coming, as 1t did, fiom the Irish citi.
zens, he was all the more grateful. He
here paid a beautiful tribute to the
courage and fortitude of the Irish
people at home and abroad, COM
psring the sufferings of the Em-
erald Isle to those of the south.
He showed that the Republican party
was sectional, malignant and tyran-
nical. II the Republican party was en-
titled to the one virtue of having saved
the Union, it. has broken that virtue
with every crime Of which political
party can be capable. Its vices, coErup.
ton and tyrannical crusade against in
dividual right and public interest were
exposed in q forcibie manner by the
speaker, who said the Democratic party
was the party OF constitutional liberty,
opposed to the one-man party, whether
it came by inheritance or by the usurpa.
tons of successful military leader, or
the gradual encroachment of protracted
power. The Democratic party, he said,
is the party OF the Taxpayers opposed to
the public plunderers; it is the party OF
honesty and vittue, opposed to central

Hendricks, of Indiana, and Tilden, of
New York, led to victory in their last
eubernatorial contest, and whose banner
Tilden aud Hendricks will plant in tri-

ington In the Presidential election.
He next compared the platforms of the
two parties, and showed that the Re-
publican platform was repetition If
broken promises, and that II Endorsed
all the iDiqaities of Grant and his cor
rupt administration. AS to the respect
i've candidates for the Presidency, he
said the people would turn away from
the unclean and untried man of Ohio to
the well known and accomplished
statesman OF New York, Samuel J. Til
den-a man whose fame is ulon every
lip, whose integrity is a household word,
whose life is platform in itself, and
those name is synonym of reform.
He spoke of the insignificsnce of Hayes
as a public man, and his unfitness to
discharge the duties of President OF
constitutional Union. General Chal-
mers spoke encouragipgly CT Democratic
success, and is confident that Tilden and
Hendricks will be elected. His speech
was one Of marked ability and sppro.
