! know that during - period Of the
whole a that trying time was there
ever doubt expressed IN tn CITY Of
New York IN any quarter - to the 10y
atty ard patriotism Of SAMUEL J. Tildcn.
The gentleman from Iowa says that
when Mr.. Tilden vent 10 the Chicago
Convention he Vas in favor Of . rcsolu-
don practically declaring that the war
wn : failure and o1ght 10 Be brought 10
n end. That genueman musl have
known. IL be reads the newpapers, that
within very recent period, certainly
within month, there has been made
public positive statement iron Mr..
Manton Marble, who vas The secrets-
| " Of he committee on resolutions. that
Governor Tilden opposed the rcsolu-
ton Of which the gentleman from Iowa
speaks; that lie opposed IL publicly
and IN private. II = within INV own
knowledge that after the nominate,
was rendered 70 General MeClellan.
Governor Tilden urped him n male
such . declaration in his letter If .eeen-
lance rs would nullifv that portion Of
the Chicago platform.sa
Mr.. Randall which w.. ssth. Irn,.r
NJ all hazards. Those vere tbe worJs
Mr.. Hewitt If New Vol tn.
were the words inserted in NcCleIi.n's
letter. Nox the oersiem.n fron, low.
saws that there never Wa. ,nv orcas;or
in which Governor T;lden made : aer-
laration in favor of the union or the
prosecution If the war for its preserya.
ton. lfthaf gentleman would studv
the records Of fhe Ch;capo conxent;on
for the sake ofdo;ne Justice. as he has e.i.
IDENTIFY studied them for The sale IF do
ing Injustice To Gov. Tilden. he wo,,ld
find that in that convention. and before
the New York delegation, in an open
meeting, Governor. Tilden said that the
adjustment of the controversy between
the North and South on any other ba-
sis than the restoration Of the union
was impossible: that the moment any
party went out Of the union the ques-
ton must be settled by war, and the
war must be prosecuted until the ques-
ton was settled. These we're his dec
larations, published in the Chicago and
New York papers at the very date of
the Chicago convention and fortunate
~ for the gentleman, who likes very
recent and modern literature, he can find
those declarations repeated in sketch
publishedin the Louisville Courisr-Jour-
nal on the 18th of April last. That is
my answer to the statement Of the gem
tleman from Iowa that Governor Til.
den never made any declaration in "a.
vor of the prosecution Of the war. and
that he was a disunionist. We now
come down to the next charge that
Governor Tilden was the associate of
VIM. nj. Tweed on a Democratic COM
mittee. that he levied a contribution Of
VIM. M. Tweed IF * O0O and that
he issued a circular in combination with
VIM. M. Tweed intended to promote
the fraudulent election of a governor of
the State of New York. IT'S true that
Gov. ridden was chairman NJ the De,n.
ocratic committee Of the State Of New
York. and il is also true that VIM. m.
Tweed wa. a member Of that comm;t.
tee. And If the gentleman know. .nv.
thing about the org.r;,.,;or NJ sn:h
committees in the STATE NJ New yorL
he know. that each district nom;nates
and sends its own member: that Gov
Tilden had no more 10 do with the an.
