HR. sCHCRz DECLARES MILITARY FORCE THE
ONLY REMEDY FOR THE SHOTGUN POLICY.
There IS ssh one other thing would call
your attention 20, and that is the question o.
national peace. l 90 not mean 70 repeat what
/ said Of my sction with regard TO the Southern
people, and the impulse OF generosity which !
have aiIays followed. OF course | did thaz
wl-h the expectation that ctory response
would be elected from the other side. We gave
them back their rights With lavish hand We
gave them back their rights so shortly after the
rebellion that ! can only repeat what have said
before, that the generosity Of the American
people has never been c0ualled by auy other
nation IN the world IN that respect. We di1 /.
WITH the Just expectation, or CT least the reason
able eXpeetlti0n, that the southern people, re-
eSiviag their E.ghts 81 our hand, E,-l. De
counted upon 10 respect also the rights Of
others. / am sorry to say that thai
expectation has teen in a great measure disaD-
pointed. When you look at the State Of Sou.h
Carolina YOU VIII not deny that the situl-
ton Of things Is exceedingly serious. / an the
yery las. man il tbe ecountry who would approve
Of the p--zeuce Of troops in the nsigh5orhoOI
Of the balOt-boI, and would stand Oy 20 the
last in the endeavor 70 secure 10 every man the
r- 1t 70 vote uIiuhIenccl by force Of any kind.
But, cs things now stand, II tie United States
trools are Withdrawn We ere pretty sure to have
another armed force in its place, and that Is the
riLe ciuJs OF the S0ush Carolina Reform Democ-
Le.L4sE EtiO-iAl- -L4t4--lld-As L-.- a ~
not believe in he reform - the rifle and tie re-
yoiTeT in the hands Of q terrorist. Now, then,
the5 may succeed possibly in sU5iUgatiug Re
publican InaiCrites. bJt one hing look upon
l- perfectly slrg-Ue haze come 10 the settle
uleu- OF the questions growing out OF the war
t- debating se-.-i1 Constitutional provisions.
These Constitutional provisions may, FOR the
time being. ba ovrr-falCu in this o. that State,
but if lie attempt Is nads-whi-h ! look for
s'uost ss Inevitable in the event Of a Demo
cratic vi-l0y-.f yEe attempt Is made 10 nuiiig
teen IA the whole extent OF .he SoUthcrl
country. an sure that the loyal people Of The
U1;tzd stc-es Cf America Will not submit 10 it.
lAPp!aUse.l
L tue attempt be made UPON such an Issue
between the North and the South, the solid
South on one SIDE VIII and solid North oa the
o;he SIDE and liberal ard generous IS / nay
Be- when the question Is between solid North
and . solid South, an on the siis CT the North
all the time. lApp!suse-l an on the SIDE Of
the North, not because l happen TO live here,
ou. because believe that the North contains
the intellectual as vel As the moral vitality uf
the American Republic as il Is nov constituted.
Now, gentlemen, looking a. the attempts that
are being made iu tie South. car anybody doubt
Jhat they would be greatly encouraged by 4
yictcry Of the Democratic parryf ! am scrry !
am obliged to say l.. but Sill that parry stands
in the politics o. the country as : continual
threat Of reaction against fhe results Of the war;
aud il Is nv conviction at the present moment
that tEa candidates Of the Republican party are
not oily the best, but they are the Only instru-
IEe1ts by which the true Interests Of the Aneri-
can people can be promoted. [APglause.l
