more Infamous doctrine advocated on
this earth than the Democratic idea oil
State rights. What is itH It has its
foundation in the idea that this Is not
nation. It has It's foundation in the idea
that this Is simply eonfederacy-that
this great Government is simply bar
gain; that this great, splendid people are
simply traders; and that the people in
one Of the States are sovereign to the ex.
tent that they have right to trAmple on
the rights Of their fellow.citiEens, and
that the General Government can not
interfere. The great Democratic heart
Is fred to-day; the great Democratic
bosom is bIoated with indignation because
Of an order made by Gen. Grant sending
troops into the Southern States to defend
the rights Of American citizens.
Who objects to 4 soldier going there3
Nobody except \ man who wants 10 carry
an election by fraud, by violence, BY in.
limitation, by assassination, and by
murder. The Democratic party Ia will.
ing to-day that Tlden and Hendricks
should be elected by violence. They are
willing to-day TO 70 into partnership
with assassination and murder. They
are willing to-day that the rights Of
every man In the Southern States who Is
friend to this Union, who fought for the
flag, that the rights Of every one oil these
men shall be trampled into the dust,
provided Tilden and Hendricks can be
elected President and Vice President OF
this country. They tell US that State
line is sacred, that you never can cross
it, unless you want 10 catch q fugitive
slave. Then you have right to crossit.
II you wish to defend the rights Of
men, then It Is q sacred line, and
you cannot cross it. Such is the
Infamous doctrine Of the Democratic
party. Who, l say, will be injured
by sending soldiers into the Southern
States? No one in the world except the
man that wants 10 prevent the honest Cit
ilen for casting legal vote for the Gov:
eminent OF his choice. For my part, l
think more Of the colored man OF the
South than do Of the white disunion
man Of the South. [Applause.1 For my
part, think more Of black friend than
| do OF white enemy. For my part, !
think more Of man black outside and
white in, than do Of man white cut
side and black in. Cheers. For my
part think more OF black justice,ot black
charity, Of black patriotism, than l do OF
white cruelty, than do OF white treach-
cry and treason. Cheers. As q matter
offact, all there is done in the South to-
day OF use is done by the colored man.
The colored man does everything that is
done in the South except deyilment. The
colored man raises everything that Is
raised in the South,
EXCEPT HELL.
| [Laughter.l And l say here tonight
that I think hundred times more OF the
good, honest black, industrious man Of
the South, than do Of all the white men
together that don't love the Government.
TCheers.1 And l think more Of black
man in the South than / do Of any white
man in the North that sympathized with
the white wretch that wishes TO trample
upon the rights OF the black man. Jap
piause.1 Ibelieye that the Government
has not only the power, but that II is the
right OF this Government 10 march all
the soldiers necessary into any sovereign
State OF the Union to defend the rights OF
every American citizen in the State.
TCheers.l lit takes the last man and the
last dollar I am in favor Of killing
enough Democrats to protect the rights
Of Union men. CHEERS. A Govern.
ment that will not protect its protectors;
a government that will not stand by its
friends; a government that will not
defend its defenders. is dis
grace 10 the nations OF the earth,
and the flag that will not protect
the men that hold it, is dirty rag that
contaminates the air in which it floats.

the man who, in time Of war, voluntarily

cratic doctrine is that you are bound to
answer the call OF the nation, but that
the nation will be deaf to your cry un.

the Governor Is the very many trampling

I believe we should have Government

humblest citizen beneath her dag. Loud
and prolonged applause. 49,,
But the Democratic doctrine Is that
this government can protect its citiIens

may account for SO many Democrats
