arge audience at GAINESVILLE, few DAYS
iince. We take the following extracts
rom the GAINESVILLE Courier:
A few days ago General Ewing took
occasion to make speech at Patascola,
ohio, and the Governor opened his adj
lress by paying his respects to General
Ewing as follows:
General Ewing overlooking the i'm
DrOvement and prosperity of business,
and the revival of trade, tells the people
that they are in deplOrable state of pro-
found want and idieness. He has dis
covered that the Republican party is un-
worthy of confidence, and wants to inn
plant monarchy on the ruin of the Re
public. Ben. Hill, member of the Unit
ed States Senate from Georgia, supports
Ewing in this belief. General Ewing
says that General Grant is travelling over
the world to study mOnarchicaI instltu-
tions in order to put into effect here the
principles he learned in China and Jap
an. He reports that while the Republi-
cans are engaged in an effort TO establish
a monarchy on the ruins of the Repub-
lie, the Democratic party is endeavoring
to defeat the Republican conspiracy.
If Gen. Ewing goes on making such
assertions, an inquest of lunacy ought to
be held over him. What is the Democratic
party? The power is all south OF Masons
q DixOn's line. The Confederate Briga-
diers, by the aid of the caucus, rule tile
Democratic party and dictate the legisla-
tion of the country. The Democracy of |
the North have no power. While the |
South furnishes the Democracy with |
ninety-Rine Representatives in Congress, |
the North only furnishes fOrty-three.
The very men who fought four years
| to destroy the Union, are now, by means
of the Democratic party, debating the
| legislation of the country. They are as
/ bitter rebels now as they were when
/ they had arm in their hands. When
/ the war closed, we, the people OF the
/ North, rejoieed with great joy, because
we believed the vexed question was set
| tIed-that the Union was sovereign and
not the States-beIieved that the rebels
had conceded when they grounded arms at
| AppotomaX that mans first allegiance
was due the Union.
1t had been costly war and bloody
war, but we reioiced because we believed
the cause of the war had been removed,
and there would be no more civil war in
the United States. We believed that it
| was conceded the Government of the
United States was supreme in its luris-
dictiOn that this is nation and not
league. After permitting these rebels to
return to Congress, we discovered, much
to our surprise, that the Southern men
were utterly insincere, and were doing
all they could to deprive the negroes of
the rights conferred upon them by the
Constitution.

ty of the South by the aid of the bludgeon
and the shotgun. They resolved to drive
the negroes from Congress, and have sue
ceeded. Not colored man is now in
Congress. except Senator Bruce, of Mis-
sissippi. There is almost million black
votes in the South, and yet they have only
one representative in Congress, and his
time will soon expire, and they will have
none at all. The Confederate Brigadiers
have instituted policy which has, for
all practical purposes, disfranchised the
f negroes of the South.
These gentlemen tell us that nothing
was settled by the war. They claimed
t that State had a right to recede in 1861 !,
: and they make the same claim to-day
Y They don't intend to go to war. They
f have had enough of that, but they do
l propose to gain by legislation, what they
9 failed to gain by the sword. The coun-
n try is in peril. If the Democracy get con-
o troll of the Presidency, the Confederate
9 Brigadiers will secure by law what they
7 failed to secure by arms. You will see
notification and secession practiced in
y Congress.

They attached political .'riders'' TO the
bills, in order to compel the President tt
nullify laws he had sworn to execute.
The Supervisors election law was pass
ed to secure an honest election in the
large cities. In 1868 thirty Thousand
illegal votes were polled in New York
= city. A committee of members of Con
gress investigated the election and report
ed that at least thirty thousand illega
u votes were cast in New York city at the
Presidential election of 1868, and Genera
Grant was cheated out of the electoral
II vote of New Y Ork in consequence.
n No member of Congress at the time
dared deny the correctness Of the report
: and no member has ever denied the cor
), reetness of that report, even until thu
l. present day. The Confederate Brigadier
want to carry Ohio and New York BY
l. fraud in 1880, and for that reason wan
