GEHTMoagt: I have had the lienor to receive your Invitation to the third annual banquet of the Iroquois Club, to respond to the sentiment, "Tho Federal Constitution." 1 have also received private letters asking a written response to the sentiment, in case I am prevented from attending. I liav 1 con f.T pnme time and am still exceptionally emrictHcd Willi business which I have no power to defer or abandon; I must, therefore, ccmmuiilraio w th you in writing, and my answer must be l.rief. Un the foim t.ou of the Federal Constitution. Goiivirneur Morris, who had been a conspicuous member ot ti-e convention, hcinu- asked what ho thought of Iho Constitution, re; lied: "That do-

l-uir. u Vl .lu, tn -vjiioi ... The Democratic I arty originated In a resistance bv the more advauced patriots of the revolution to the e.forts which were made to change the charact. r of our Government by lalse constructions of tho CouRtitulMMi, impressing on the Hew system a monarchical lilai. Mr. Jefler- , sen's election in isoo rc-cned our free Institution.-, from the perils which surrounded them, and secured nLiy years of administration mainly in harmony with their design and true character. When an attempt was made to break up the Union and to dismember tho territorial integrity of the country, t he people were compelled to make a manly cuoloe between these calamities and the dangerous influences of civil war ui on the character cf tho Government. They Iiatriotieally and wisely resolved to save tho ,'nlon first, and to rorair the damage which our political system might sustain w hen the mors imminent dangers had been provided against. The first work was successfully accomplished; but twenty years have since elapsed, and the work of restoring the Government to its original character is not yet accomplished. Onr wise ancestors had warned us tha t. If wctell into civil j discords, onr free system was liable to perish in the struggle by an insensible change of its character, hot only have the best traditions ot the patriots who won independence and established freedom lost th ir authority, but our cherished political system Is slowly losing its hold upon life ! under the fungus growth of false constructions and corrupt practices. Government itself has become a menacing factor In the elections. As long ago as IRTil I expressed the opinion that the opposition must embrace at the beginning of the canvass two-thirds of the voters to maintain a majority at the election. In this, history repeats itself. In most countries the Government maintains itself by lorco of fraud. Even in the comparatively popular system of England, the monarch bos unai lately controlled a majority vt Parliament, and lrequently decided the elections by court favors, jobs, and money taken from tho public treasury. This is a hard saying, but recent publications of the papers of her deceased statesmen leave no doubt upon the subject. In our own country tho Government, Instead of standing as an impartial arbiter amid the, conflicts of maturing opinion and contending! interests, hai itself descended Into the arena, equipped with all the weapons ot partisanship. Its myriads of office-holders; its alliances with or aeainst vast pecuniary interests; its unlimited command ot money levied from its dependents and contractors have sufficed to determine a majority in every case but one. In that case, it collected military forces around the Capitol, and by, this and other menaces intimidated the Congressional representatives of a majority of the peorle to relinquish tho fruits of their victory and to surrender the Government to the control of a minority. No reform of the administration is possible as long as the Government Is directed by a party which is under the dominion of false doctrines and animate I l.y enormous pecuniary interests in tho perpetuation of existing abuses. The first elf eetttal steps in the rcfoim of our Government must be a fundamental change in tho Eolk v of its administration. Tho work of reform will be difficult enouah with the whole power of tho Government exerted in accomplishing it. I have such faith in the benignant providence which has presided over tfco destiny of our country in every great trial hitherto, that I do not despair cf our ultimate deliverance. Though I can no longer aspire to bo one of the leaders In this great work. I bid those upon whom this august miss ion may fall, godspeed. New York, April 11. 1884. ft J. TILDES. MCDONALD. The Indiana Kx-Senntor Announced as a Candidate F,x-Scnator McDonald has been announced as a candidate for the Presidency by the Indiana Democratic Association at Washington. At a recent mcetlna of the association Representative Cobb offered tho following resolution: Whebeas, The name of the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, ot Indiana, has been prominently mentioned as a lit and available candidate for the Presidency ; therefore Sisnhed, by the Indiana Democratic Association at Washington, that we rccoanize in tho Hon. Joseph E. McDonald the nstriut, statesman, and Democrat who has ever been faithful to his party and his country. That, in the Judgment of this association, tho nomination ot McDonald tor the Presidency by the Democratio National Convention would establish harmony In the i arty throughout the country, and result in the success of Democratic principles at the approaching Presidential election. Senator Voorhocs made a speech in support of the resolution, which was unanimously adopted.

Its membership is divided between both the Bepublican ana Demooratio parties, aud tho nienilicrs of the alliance will take part in the conventions of their respective parties, and see that temperance men aro nominated and cleited, and to boycott any candidate not a temperance man that may be nominated. It Is confidently believed that in this way they will not only control the election of the next Legislature, but ot the county aud municipal officers also.

In an address to tho Kentucky Democracy, declining to represent them in the next Democratic convention, Henry-Watterson says: "I can ece no reason why I should put upon invsclt tho eaciitlees and responsibilities of service which at all points is difficult and thankless. It is doublyso atatimewhen party strife and private alms give the people such scant assurance of clisluUTesteducsMlu their public men. I have no doubt the policy of revenuo reform inaugurated at Washington will be completed at Chicago.
