Of the manhood Of the republican party,
cur mission Of to-day is TO establish sure
foundation and make secure for coming
eyes the fruits of the war debt and taxa
ti1n through which the present has been
achieved. The benefits to be derived to in
dividual ciizens from the fourteenth and
fifteeuth constitutional amendments are TO
be secured through such appropriate legis-
lation as congress may deslre. | ask the
freedmen of the south If they are ready to
accept the democratic party as the source
Of power from which is to flow the appro-
pirate legislation to give effect to these
amendments ] ask the candid public il
the only anarchy that exists in the south
to-day is not the anarchy caused by the op-
position of the democratic party us such to
the principles adopted in The work of re-
construction, and now part of the funda-
mental laws Of the land. The democratic
party claims to accept the situation irres-
pective Of the sacredness ofthe national debt
ind in volatility of the national credit.
| Her $2,000000 OF taxation will not
make the annual loss to the American peo-
pie from undofned and undefnabe atti-
tu3e and intentions Of that party in regard
To the payment of the principal of the pub
lie debt. In the prosecution of war to
overthrow rebellion for the purpose of pro-
curing ready money TO pay the army and
navy and to provide immense material Of
war, it became necessary to suspend specie
payments and to make q forced loan from
the people by declaring greenbacks legal
tender in The payment of public and pri-
v5te indebtedness, and yet while claiming
to BE- in favor Of the resumption Of specie
payments at como indefinite time by
means of some underlined process. Al
though eleven years haye elapsed since the
close of the war, it bitterly Opposes the
payment Of This forced loan, or the taking
OF the fret practical step toward resumiDg
our position among the solvent nations Of
the civilized world No, gentlemen, the
late war was not a mere prize fight for na-
tional supremacy. 1t was the outgrowth
of a conflict OF irreconcilable moral, social
and political forces. The democracy had
its lot with the moral, social and political
forces of the cause which was los. The
republican party with those which tri-
umphed and survived. The preservation
of the results Of that victory deyolves upon
US here, and now the democracy has no
traditions of the past, no impulses of the
present, no aspirations fer the future,
fitting it for this task the reaction of
1874 has already spent itself in
vain efforts TO realize the situation;
it has simply demonstrated that no change
in the machinery Of the government can be
had outside Of the republican party with
out drawing with it practical notification
Of the great work of the reconstruction Of
financial chaos and an administrative revo-
luton. The present house of representa-
tigcs has succeeded in nothing except the
development of its own incapaciy. From
the inception of the republican party in
1865 it has kept pace with the progress of
the times, accepting the early added re-
sponsibiiiiy of the war of emancipation,
taxation and reconstruction. All the bright
est pages Of American history are hut the
life story of the republican party. OF the
whole mass Of lis constitutional amend
ments and legislative enactments it takes
the responsibility without apology. 1t
haa often erred, but 1t has never
feared 10 act, and through its
action The nation has lived. There has
been corruption, but when it was dis
covered the order went forth, "Let no guilty
man escape, and the order has been ex-
ecuted. There has been want Of harmony,
but platform unwayering in it's declara-
ton Of principles, with candidates worthy
Of it, will weld together as of old into an
uncouquerable army, the great liberty-lov
ing, Law abiding majority of votes of the
United States and stamp with enduring
success the results of the deliberations OF
this convention.
The speech was delivered in good style
and with distinctness sufficient to be heard
throughout the hall, and its various points
were received with applause, which on
several occasions was tumultuous. The
reference to the order, "Let no guilty man
escape was received with especial fervor
which was renewed upon tue sentence that
"the order has been executed
GEN. HAwLgY's ADDRESS.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Pomeroy's ad-
dress tpeech was made by Gen. Joseph
Il. HawlcY of Connecticut The first part
Of the speech we have been unable to oh
tain. In conclusion he urged that the
noble discomfort now abroad in the land
because Of the irregularities in the civil
service must not be disregarded by tue con-
vention. (Appause.)
Gov. Moves, being loudly called for,
came forward. lie said the people in this
centennial year demand more of republic
can representatives than ever before. He
had 10 sympathy with those who would
destroy the character of our great men for
political purpose, but the spirit of crlti-
cism and the disposition to the publication
OF The government is oommendable. Gap

ADDRESS OF rem. IL. IL. GARNET.
Rev. Henry Highland Garnet, colored,
of New York, being called for, said l
regret extremely that your kindness has
demanded my appearance upon this plat

satisfied to have listened to other gentlemen
whose names are well known, to hear
whom you have expressed your desires, and
to prove that mean what say, you will
find that the remarks which intend to
make win be exceedingly brief. 1t has
gra,iiied me much to hear from gentlemen
