SPEECH OP

Ex-Goyenor Morton

A-t Columbtw, Ohio,

Delivered Tuesday Bwniif* August 27th, 1867.

Fellow citizens of Ohio: The parly calling itself Democratic is again »ekirtg for the confidence and sup. py.t of tbe people of Obio, and 1t is not on IT proper, but important, to investigate the t.tle upon which they put fofth their claims.

As a public political organization, it is the right oi the peupls to examine their history, to look into the career and principles of their candid»te»,and to understand the spirit and purpose of the politicians and lenders who will control them il .elected.

It

is a

proposition which can not be de­

nied by

any

intelligent observer of event*

j,,r ihe last ten years, that the su-callea Democratic party was thoroughly and complete identified with the origin and progress of the rebellion that, as a polili cat organization, it was apart of the rebcHi'in, acting as counsellor, sympathize.*, furn^her of supplies, and doing everything in aid of its prosecution that could be done in the loyal States.

When I speak thus I do not mean to say '.bat all its members all who vole with it, ure iqutlly guilty, nor do 1 refer to thut patriotic host, who when the B«bellion brnke out, left the Democratic party an1 went over to the side of the country. The masses of ihe people of a,l parties iuari'i to d'j rigtit, and would if they wefe let nlonc but 1 nn-an its politicians, hileaders, those who lorin its opinions, and give shnpo to it* adion.

Wbii# they nave been open and avowee enemies to tne people of the .North, they have in the guise of friends been the mou deadly foes of the South, and nave by then treacherous ahd pernicious counsels leu thern, by criminal and treasonable paths to dishonor and destruction. DEMOCKATIC PAHTT RESPONSIBLE JOE THJ£

WAS.

To go no further back than the campaign of 1860, we find them assuring the people of the South, by speeches, newspapers,and resolutions Conventions, that Mr. Lin coin was sectional candidate, and that his election as President would be in violation of the Constitution ol the United States that the hepubltcan party of the North, if they succe'-ded to power, wouid, withoutpr,ivocation or excuse, overturn the institutions of the South, and that the Sou-th would bo justified by every principle ol honor and self-pretervalion, in resis ing even by forcd of arms, their accession to power.

These wicked and monstrous falsehoods were reasserted in every possible form, enforced by all the vehemence of passion aud the graces of rhetoric, and tie question muy well bo asked how tho people of the South could refuse altogether to believe tho persistont declarations of a large body ot proved friends in the North, who claimed to speak from superior knowledge of what was going on in their mid»t.

Immediately after tho election of Mr. Lincoln, the sluve-holding rebels of the South, professing to be animated by a profound belief in tho truth of the declara« tiorin and prophecies of the Democratic leaders of the Worth, went forward in the work of the re boll ion, and proceeded to declare the secession of State after State In this thuy were enthusiastically cheered and earnestly encouragrd by the Demo* cratio leaders of tho North.

Tuey were assured that tho right ol secession existed under ihe Constitution, and that they were in the exercise of le gitimate powers when they assumed to marshal their several States out of the Union: and President Buchanan in his annual message, in December, 1860, sol emnly declared that the Government of the United States had no power to coerce a S ate to remain in the Union. This treasonable and bloody utterance was en dorted by every Domocralio Senator and Representative in Congress, save two by every Democratic orator and newspaper throughout tho North, by every Demo cratio member of a Slate Legislature with few exception^ by every Democratic Con vention held throughout the North during ing the winter ot 1860 and 1861, of which I have any knowledge.

The people of the South were urged forward in the work of secession and rebellion oy

ted

political leaders

held still and powerless until it

was consummated and that the presence of powerful body of friends in the North Wouid prevent the passage of an army, or of single regiment to the South, to engage in tie wicked and unconstitution nl business of coercing a sovereign State to remain in tho Union. In January, 1861, at

the

very time the Confederate

Government was being formed, the Dem ocrmiu Stnte Convention of Ohio passed a resolution pledging two hundred thousand DLtuiicrat.'*,

This gave notice to the rebels that if the Government

thousand men in

would

be tound fighting on their

to throw off

their

obligations to tne

Constitution of the United Slates—to sep urate themselves from the Nation, and to establish a now Confederal! 'n, the chiet corner stone of which was Human Stave* ry.

With the approbation of President Buchanan and tho Northern Democracy, they rapidly seized without opposition, fort.-, dock yards, arsenals, mints, custom hou-es, ships of war, and public property of every discretion, until there remained but ono lit.o spot, in Charleston Harbor, over which the flag of tho Union contin ued t.. Wave.

BUCHANAN'S CABINET A CONCLAVE or CONSPZBATUKS. Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet had been conclave of conspirators. His Secretary of War Lad distributed the arms and m»nitions through the couth His Secretary of the Navy had scattered our liule fleet to tiia four corners of the world. His Secretary ot the Treasury bad so managed the 1'reur.ury as to leave it without a dollar and ttius all had been aone that cou'd bo to make the rebellion easy.— Aud wbeu on \nB 4th of March, 1861, the Government passed from the Democratic to tho Republican party, seven States had

already seceded, and the rest were getting I tbetn upon falsehoods and delusions until MAIL HA RWIARM LA 4 r« at T» I» I I rondy the Confederate Constitution and Government bad been formed at Montgomery, and a Confederate army of more than thirty thousand hid been organized, aua all notouly without opposition from the Government or the Democracy, but with their positive approbation and it is not loo much to say that, if the power of Mr Buchanan and the Democratic party

But the echo of the first gun against Fort Sumter awakeued the slumbering patriotism of the people. Tbe nation sprang to its teet as it suddenly aroused froui ueep steep. Tbe ranks of tbe people were closed up, party lines Were oblit-

~red like drift wood in a turJba'enl sea, hmerged for aseason, but toteappear at I future time. They cautioosly remained out ot sigbt until the fall of 1881, when the disasters'of Bull Bun and Ball's Bluff, and the glow progress of the war gave tbem courage to put ther heads above tbe surface and survey the situation. They immediately began tbe work of reorganizing the Democratic party upon tbe basis of opposition to the war and rightfulness of iberebellioa." Tfce^i*rt*«juent terrible defeat and sacrifices suffered by McClellan on tbe Peninsnl*, inspired them with high hope and courage, and they ,80 far succeded in discouraging the nation as to carry' Che fall elections in 1862 Then began those treasonable cries which were kept up "with ever increasing violence until the final surrender of Lee bofore Kichmond.

They declared that we could never conquer tne South that every act of Congress for the suppression of the rebellion was unconstitutional and void. That our National Bonds were worthless that Treasury Notes were a fraud that tbe act of Congress making them a legal tender was a nullity that tbe northern people were tired of tbe war, and wou|d speedily abandon il that the people of tbe North would resist draft laws, taxation, and every attempt to interfere with slavery that the Nation was on the verge of bankruptcy, and tbat if tbe war was protracted, a revolution in tbe North was in evitabte.

Tbe rebels believed these enormous lies, and protracted the war Lr more than two years after they had become convince that they could not succeed by fore'e of arms. For more than two years tbey continued the struggle, expecting every day tbat something would turn up in thelSorth by which their triumph would be secured.

When hope long deferred made their hearts sick, and despair was coming upon them, the Democratic leaders of the North renewed their exhortations, redoubledtbeir assurances of assistance, and proclaimed that the hour of deliverance was at band. And, on the 29:h day of Jul), 1864, in the midst of the last great campaign when Grunt was Struggling hrough bloody fieds to cnmona, and Sherman fighting h.s way step by step to A'larita, more than than ten thousand Democratic politicians assembled ai Obi cago, and with a fierce enthusiasm tbat threatened to overcome all opposition, declared ibe war-t^vonstitulioiial, wick.•d, and a failure, and imperiously dvmanded tbat it should be at once abandoned. Will any man whose front is not of brass tell mo that ibis did not encour age ihe rebellion? I tell you that it did, tbat-. i»co8t us thousands of lives, and protracted the War for months. The news sunk Tike load into tbe hearts of our soldiers, but sent a thrill of hope and exclamatioos of joy .throughout the rebel enmps. WHA.T DEMOCRATIC MISREPRESENTATIONS

COST.

Every one of those enormous lies—that I have enumerated —cost the nation not less than twenty thousand lives and $200,000,000. Tney made it necessary to raise new armioa, to create new loans, to iiiposo fun her inxes, and to lay new and heavy burdens upon the people, already taxed and tried as no other nation had ever been. If you would fully comprehend tbe work of the Democratic politicians ol tbe North, you must read the costly and bloody record of 1863, 1864 and 1865. Now that we are in possession ot the archieves of the rebel government, and now that the rebel leaders are free to tell the story of the rebellion, we know that the war could not have extended beyond the vear 1862 but for the cooperation of the Northern Democracy, and so threatening and formidable was their treason that from tho beginning of 1863 to tbe end of the war, tho Government was compelled to retain in the Northern States from 40,000 to 100,000 men prevent them from breaking out into open rebellion. From the beginning of 1863 until the final surrender of the rebellion it lived entirely upon tho hopes and delusions of the Democratic leaders if the North. WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS DID

TO MAKE THEIKPRoPHKCIKS COMK TRUE.

It must be said, however, in vindication of tbes men that tbey labored assiduously to make good their promises and to achieve the success of the rebellion. Tbey con spired to overturn State governments they discouraged recruiting and organized resistance to the laws. They did all in their power to destroy the credit of the government by enhancing the price of gold and thus making our currency and stocks comparatively worthless. But not withstanding they did all this, yet tbey failed at every point, and the Southern people by their ,credulity and misplaced confidence were brought to dishonor and ruin. Every promise made to them was broken every hope blighted and every prospoct turned into darkness. John Morgan, in full faith tbat thousands of men would rally to his standard, crossed the Ohio river into Indiana, but the em missaries who invited him upon our soil prpved but delusive guides to tbe prison doSt, and the secret hordes of the Sons of Liberty who were to swell the ranks of bis armies—to save themselves—were compelled to join the ranks of his adversaries. Truly tbe Democratic leaders of the North have beei the worst enemies of tbe South, They first seduced them into rebellion tbey then induced them to continue it until their blood and substance were wasted, and when tbey could hold out nolanger and the war ended, their fatal influence and interference did noi cease, for whob tbe Southern people submitted themselves to the government and wero disposed to accept tbe situation,these evil counselors again appeared and ad vised them to submit to no terms oi reconstruction to accept no conditions that tbey had lost no rights by rebellion, and were entitled to im nediate representation in Congress just as if there had been BO War. They further urged tbem into flagrant disregard of tbe authority of Con gress. and to threaten the Nortb with ftnoiher rebellion if these demands were not acceded to. And when tho moderate and conservative proposition of the constitutional amendmeut was offered as a Oasis of settlement aud reconstruction .they urged them contemptouily lo r-ject it, which they did. And what was tho re :u t? They brought upon ibem universal suffrage, aud have compelled tbem to go upon their knoes and beg tbe votes if tne men whom tbey were wont to drive lo labor with tbe whip. And now, while tbe men of tbe South arc proposing to accept the last act of reconstruction, and yield obedience to tue legislation of Congress, tbey are again urging iliHt it is un constitutional and wicked, and begging for its rejection. And what if they again .ucceed? Tuey will inevitably bring upon them the general confiscation of theit estates and puu shment only visited on the incorrigible and tbe obstinately rebellious. Aud iiwfice I repeat tbe declaration tbat tbe Democratic leaders at ihe North are, and for years have been, ihe most deadly enemies of the Southern people. They have betrayrd them in war, aud betrayed tbem in peace, and have fed

they have brought tbem to tbe very door of destruction. Tbe Democratic party are utterly opposed to reconstruction except upon terms thai will return lite rebels unconditionally to power, and give tbem ten Democratic reliel States. Unless this can be done, they prefer to have the contest renewed, to have anarchy supervene, hoping that

had lasted sixty days longsr, the work of I something may turn up by which tbe govsecession would have been so ftilly completed that the Uniot would have been lost forever.

eminent may pass iuto their hands, or their condition be otherwise improved.— About tho true inteiests of the Southern people tbey are as indifferent as they are to the E-quimaux in Walrussia, and regard them simply as the means to an end, and as instruments by which they can improve their own condition. Many men in that organisation wish to dissolve it

era led, and tbe Democratic leaden disap- I and form new alliances but the old lead-

ers and hacks, whose history ia identiiad •with the rebellion, and from whose gaitmen ts the staios of treason can never!* washed, know that from any new organization tbey would be carefully excluded as men whose presence boded pestilence and disaster, and thus they cling desperately to the wreck of the old party as tbe only means to prevent them from going to the bottom forever. The revival of the Democratic party would be the triumph of the rebellion, and it would then conquer in peace after it had failed in war.—

But you may as well talk of reviving the Confederate Government, of resurrecting the rebel dead from a thousand battlefields, where they have been buried by their Northern leaders. A party covered with tbe blood of murdered thousands, linked to the atrocities of a fiendish civil war, pursued by the cries of the widow and orphan, and of tbe vast multitude whose homes have been made desolate, has no destiny but death, and should ask not for office, not forgiveness, but only burial from human sight. 168

JUDGE THUKMAN'S SPEECH.

I read with care the speech of Judge Thurman, the Democratic candidate for Governor, made at Waverly on the 6th of August, on the opening of the campaign. I took it for granted that tbe standard bearer of his party would unfold its principles and policy, and mark out the field upon which be proposed to fight the battle. But the chiefly noticeable thing about the speech is, tbat it proposes nothing, presents no policy, offers no plan of redemption by which the Nation may be saved. The poverty of the speech however, is but the poverty of the party which it represents, and it is somewhat remarkable that a party which has nothing to propose, and thereby admits itself I to be utterly helpless and incapable, should have courage to ask the people to put tho offices into tbeir hands. The substance of tbe speech may be presented in a few brief propositions 1. Tbat tne Republican party of the North forced the South into rebellion, and is responsible for the war. 2. That the Constitution declares that Congress shall consist of the Senators and Representatives of all the States, and that as ten rebel States are unrepresented, Congress is a fragmentary and unuonstitutional body. Hence all tbe legislation during the war and since is unconstitu-

DKFEXSE OF TBE REPUBLICAN PABTT.

To the charges made against the Re* publican party by Judge Thurman, I shall not stop to reply. They are mostly from the stereotyped edition of 1864 and 1866, and are as devoid of merit now as tbey were theu. It does not lie in the mouth of tbe party of the rebellion to complain that the country might have been saved on cheaper terms, or that proper economy was not practiced in putting the rebellion down. The defense of the Republican party is found in the fact that to-day we have a Government and a Union preserved that to day wo have a nation more powerful and respected than ever before that to-day we have a country full of prosperity, and with bright and gratifying prospects for ihe future. We may safely challenge the history of the world to show a political organization tbat accomplished half so much for the preservation and glory of tbe nation in so short a time and its career is not yet ended. Its work will not be done until equal rights, harmony, and prosperity shall relga throughout the land, and the last lingering representative of a treasonable Democracy has been driven from power.

THE TRUE DKMOCRATIC PLATTOBH.

Bui notwithstanding tbe extreme poverty of the Judge's speech, it must cot be supposed that the so-called Democratic party is not in favor of anything. It has a platform down deep in tbe hearts of its leaders a platform which they would execute to the letter if they had the power.

This platform has not been formally drawn out in resolutions, or proclaimed by conventions but it breathes through all tbsir speeches, pervades their literature, and is found openly or covertly in every column of their newspapers. It is the piatform of desperation, of mingled hate and revenge, and an unconquerable attachment to the abuses and errors of the past. And tbe chief planks may be described in it as follows

The repudiation of the National Debt. Tbe restoration of slavery, or, if that can not be done, payment by tbe nation for the slaves.

Pensioning the soldiers,widows and orphans of the Confederate army. Recognition of the right of secession.

And the unconditional return of rebels to political power. JESSED. BRIGHT SPEAKS FOB TBE Dl»

MOCEACT OF KENTUCKY.

The Hon. Jesse D. Bright, just elected to the Legislature of Kentucky, long a Senator from Indiana, and the leader of his party, and always a bold and frank politician, in a recent speech at Oarrolton, as reported in the Cincinnati Gazette, made tbe following declaration

He started off by saying he had always been a States rights Democrat. He denounced Mr. Lincoln, Douglas and Andy Johnson in the most bitter terms, said tbat the Democratic Senators from the South did wrong in vacating their seats in the beginning ot the war said Mr. Lincoln had no power under the

The Democratic leaders of the North intend to make their final and desperate stand for existence and power upon tbat question. Tbey will appeal to the basest passions of the people, to their cupidity, to their selflshntes, to the Satanic temptation

Some Democratic speakers say they will1!of exemption from taxes, to the poor not discuss tbe war, but confine them- against the rich, and to labor against selves to living issues, leaving "the past I capital. They have profound faith in the with tbe dead past" Tbey would be glad passions and vices of the people, but none to have us leave out tbe war and forget in their patriotism and virtues.

Oue of tbe latest forms in which repu diation has shown its horrid front, is the proposition to pay off ihe wnole nation a debi in greenbacks. Said a very prominent Democratic speaker the other day, W must pay the national debt, every dollar uf ia, but we must pay it in greenbacks I will not stop to discuss tbe breach faith I will not stop to consider what would be the effect upon the currency and business of the country to issue a thou Eand millions of greenbacks. If the greenbacks are to be redeemed, then tbe body of the debt is not paid—only anoth «r lorm of obligation given for it. If the "greenbacks" lire not to be redeemed then the whole debt is repudiated. It very/absurd to talk about paying a debt by giving another obligation for it which is not to be paid. And I notice this pro position as a weak device of y^e enemy by which they approach dire" tion.

Let me urge upon the repudiators, how everr that their efforts to repudiate be madeagainst the bonds directly, and not through the medium irredeemable greon backs It is true, to repudiate the bonds would destroy the national honor, and place the Government before the world as the mightiest swindler in history it true that no American would then dare to show his face in Europe, and it would be regarded »s indecent, to speak the name of our country in socioty. But the mon ey loss, in that case, would fall chiefly on the-bondholders at first. Whereas if tho

tors and Representatives from the rebel States withdrew from tbeir seats in 1861, they left Congress a fragmentary and unconstitutional body, and thereby constitutionally broke up the Government, and every effort sinc9 made to keep it alive has been clearly unconstitutional. So you see, my friends, to what strange uses a good constitution may be put. It is true tbat the Constitution provides that a majority of tbe members ot each House shall constitute a quorum to do business but as this is in conflict with tbe Judge's theory, he very properly ignored it. 3. That emancipation has everywhere, and especially in the West Indies, been a failure, a folly and a crime that the ne« groes are an inferior, indolent, worthless race, and that negro suffrage portends the direst calamities to the nation. And this bill of fare presents the starveling fast to which the Democracy of Ohio are invited to sit down.

backs, the loss to the bondholders would bu the smallest part. The whole currency would become worthless the business of the country destroyed, aud the laboring classes and the poor would be by far the greatest sufferers. A party is utterly lost to shame which deliberately proposes tbe Nation's dishonor, and has but one duty to perform—which is to die.

UHIoN SOLDIERS TO BE DISHONORED.

A result that would inevitably flow from the success of the so-called Democracy would be the degradation of tbe Union soldier, and the elevation to honor and pbwer of the rebel soldier. The Democ acy of the North and the rebels of the bbuth can affiliate only upon that condi tion. Not only would Southern rebels impose this as a condition upon their Northern allies but it would be cheer fully accepted as consonant with tbeir •groipathies, and consistent with their course. The Democracy of Obio are in full accord with the Demooracy in ten tucky, and the news of the late Kentucky election was reeeived as "glad tiding* of great joy," as a "rich morsel of victory, and rejoiced over in gushing adjectives and flaming head lines by every Demo cratic orator and newspaper in tbe State

In that election, except in a few locali ties, rebel soldiers and sympathizers were chosen to every important office, and the fact that a candidate bad been in tbe Un on army, or sympathized with the Union cause, was the sure harbinger of deleat.— The Democratic candidates wera publicly supported upon the ground that they bad served in the rebel army or sustained the rebel cause. And not only do the Demooracy of Kentucky exclude tbe Union soldier from office, but they exclude him from society proscribe him in his bus! ness, inflict on bim a thousand annoyan ces, and many of them proclaim that be shall leave tbe State, tbat tbey will make it too hot to hold him. And as tbe Da mocracy of Kentucky -treat the Union soldier, so will the Democracy of Obi should they get the power. It is tbe war cry of that party, that it is not sectional that it is every where the sasae. As it is in Kentucky in Ohio.

It is true that there are some men in Obio wbo were good soldiers during the war, wbo are now acting wilh that party But their position is one of humiliation to themselves, and commisseration and sorrow with their friends. In tbe Democratic party tbey are tolerated only not loved or forgiven. When put forward for office, they are not standard-bearers, but "decoy ducks" to allure faithful soldiers into rebel camps and when they can not longer be profitably used, will be cast aside as dishonorable things for tbe fact of having borne arms against the re bellion is the mortal sin for which there is no Democratic forgiveness.

In Ohio, where the Democracy bave no power, they sometimes nominate soldiers for office, but in Kentucky, where tbey bave the power, they would not nominate one for the humble office of "fence viewer." Let the Union soldier therefore take heed that he be not deluded by false pretenses, and delivered over by Bbameful strategem into the hands of bis adversa riea. Let bim ever remember tbat tbe rebels and their allies will never love him, never forgive bim, and will only tolerate him where they must. IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE—THE NORTH

ought not to pay another dollar until her I gent, tu better qualified every way to

MUST

BK CONSISTENT.

The question uf impartial suffrage is now submitted to the people of Obio. It is proposed to allow the colored man to vete upon like terms and conditions with the white man. After tbe great events 'which bave transpired, the great changes which have taken place, this can bardly be regarded as an open question. The people of the North, through Congress, have conferred upon the ootored men of the South the right of suffrage, who but yesterday were slaves, the most of whom are wholly uneducated, who have grown up in States where it was a felony to teach them to read, and made tbem politically equal to the whites. And shall tbey now refuse to do equal justice to the small number of colored people in their midst who are better educated, far more intelli-

be hisaei scornfully into your faoes, tbat your "immortal principle of equal rightB'' is only for Southern consumption, and that tbe radicalism ot Ohio is but a cheat and a sham.

But let us cobwdor this subject briefly, independent of ail questions of consistency or policy. We- admit that God has created all men equal. We do -nOt m^n equal in physical or mental p&Wers—equal in stature, color or appeirancs—but equal in their rights.

Now, where two races are living wge er in 1 he same State, and the right to chouse all public officers to make th laws and execute them, is confided to ont race exclusively, will you tell me that all are equal? And will you tell me by what

ment over the otbor We admit that God has endowed men with certain inalienable rights tbat among ibiBe is the right to live, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We call these divinn, or, if you plea*e, natural rights. If we have these rights have we not a divine or natural right to protect ourselves in their eej yment? Can there be a right wbich we have not the right to protect? Tbe right of seif-detensu is said to be the first law of nature, aad it may be exercised by your hands or by a weapon, by your friends. The law of nature does not point out how it shall be done, wnether by tbe hands or by a weapon, but certainly embraces the use of the adequate means Whatever tbey may be. It would be very absurd to say that self-preserva-tion is the fi st law of nature, but that tbe law does not give the use of tbo means of preservation. It. is not less absurd to s&y tbat men have a divine right to life and liberty, but have no diviue right lo protect themselves in tbeir enjoyment. Can you conceive of a RIGHT which another uiun has a RrGHT to take away, and which you have no RIGHT to defend? If it be admitted tbat men have* a divine or natural right to life and liberty, then must it not be admitted tbat they bave a divine or natural right to protect themselves in their enjoyment? And if it be admitted ,that have a natural right to protect themselves in the enjoyment of life and liberty, that right inust carry with it the use of tbe necessary or adequate means

If your liberty is invaded by violeoce or Wir, you may repel force by force- But if it is trampled upon by unjust constitutions or unequal laws, by what mans can you be protected in its enjoyments? answer by the right of suffrage only, or the right of revolution,

In this Country tbe only means by which a man can protect himself against tbe enactment of unequal or oppressive law is to have a voice-in making them or can secure tbe protection of iha laws is to have a voice in the selection of the officers by whom they are to be executed.

It is true that if a man is disfranchised the justice or magnanimity of bis neighbors, or of another race may protect him iihis rights, but that it is precarieusse curity, aud furnishes no reason for depriving him of the power to protect himself. And now 1 ask you what power the colored people of Ohio have to pro tect themselves in their lives, liberty and property.

They have no voice in making the laws, or choosing the officers by whom thep are to be executed. Those in au thority may make oppressive statutes against them, or deny to them the prolection of those already made, as in Ken tucky, and they have no means of redress. Their natural rigrts may all be struct down, and, in themselves, tbey have no power to prevent it, except by force of arms, for which they, would be punished as criLUrdats. In a. Republican form of governmout, tbe bailot is the only uflfeins short of revolution, by which rights can be asserted, abuses corrected, or protection secured, and whoever is deprived of it is at tbe mercy of his neigh bors.

M. Pendleton lately said that the whte people of Ohio would protect the colored in the enjoyment of all their rights. But that is the old argument in favor of slavery, when it was urged that the good and kind masters would take care of the slaves and do better for them than they could do for themselves. If Mr. Feodleton were to'be disfranchised by the Constitution of Onio, it is probable he would bq protected in his' other rights, but tnis would would not repair ihe wrong or soothe his lacerated feelings. If the colored men of Onio are enfranchised, tbeir votes will be sought after with as much avidity as an equal number of white votes., and they wilt be treated with a'-' kindhew and consideration tbey never before enjoyed.

No party could propose to enact an un just law against tbem, or fail to give them protection except under tbe penally of having all tbeir votes cast against them at the next electiun and we know how effective is tbe prospect of such a penalty.

In tbe rebel States, the late act of Gongross enfranchising the freedmen has al ready given to them a protection and consideration which could not be secured by the whole military power of the United States, and exhibits conclusively the in fluence and power of the ballot.

The recognition of the principle I contend fordoes not conflict with the rigbt to exclude aliens, minors, insane persons, and criminals from tho ballot box, nor does it necessarily conflict with that principle of representation which is more or less TPCognized in eveiy elective system, whereby from the ties of uffection, blood and cominanity of interest, tbe husband is assumed to represent ihe wile, and tbe faiber his family. But this principle of representation could not without absurdity, be carried to tar as toaseume tbat wbero one race is separated from another by color, condition and prejudice, it could represent the interests, feelings aud wants of that other at the ballot-box.

I know it is often said tbat the right of suffrage is not a natural right, and may be tvitb held from any man, class or race, without a violation of their natural rights, but I respectfully submit tbat this makes the whole theory of natural rigbts a mockery. For if in a republican lorm of government, where suffrage is tbe only means of protecting naiural rights, it can be justly withheld irom a whole rate, then tbat race have natural rigbts, but have no rigbt to use the mvans by which tbey may be protected, which is absurd.

Not less absurd than to say tbat the constitution confers tbe power upon Congress to make war, but withholds tbe means to execute the power, it is true that no principle in government can be carried to all its conclusions, but must be subject to practical limitations. iivery member of society must yield up some portion of his abstract rights for the common good, but this yielding should be uniform, it would be an abuse of the doctrine, if society required one race to yield all means of sell protection. And to say that society may require one race to submit itself absolutely to tbe governffient of another, is to assert the principle of slavery pure and simple.

But it may be said that the principle I advocate would give the right of suffrage to women. Tbis do deny, but say broadly and practically that there is a vast difference between denying tbe right of suffrage to women wbo are represented tt tbe ballot-box by their, husbands, fathers and brothers, and all the adult males of their race, and the denial of it to a whole

olitical power. Tbey belong to a differ

bones, and organization. They have different tastes and habhs, and cipAcftfei. It is not merely a difference of climate or sonj or birth, of education, ocrtac.. It is an inherent and radiehl difference of race of blood, of nature,~of intellect, of capacity, wteoh norfrai 3 agMn,!«t&oe WLW? ciations, or habits, QfHiscipline can extinguish. God made tbem different, man cannot make tbem the samp, or .equal.''

Now here is a statemc^^wBicb lf ad mitted to be true, provibs nothing in favor of his policy of ttisfranchisement. Does it afford any feasoncrvrfcyr tbu race BO widely eeparated' froor the other, snould be disfranchised and governed absolutely by. the other

Does it not on the contrary prove that the white race, separated by so great diversity from the colored, cannot represent their interests and wants at tbe ballotbox, and that the colored should bare the right ta vote for their own. protection

If Mr, Pendleton means.- to sav.ihab consequence of this difference ift nice, tb colored man bas'no natural rigta to li'', fibbrty and property, no right thit a white man is bound to respect, then we can understand him but if he stops short of that tbere is nothing in his argument

Again Mr. Pendleton says: "And all the teaching of history,1and all the observation of our experience i: that tbe eommingling of the blood of ihe wuite and the black races injures both Go into the Southern States, where circumstances have been favorable to this amalgamation go into our cities, where affection sought to establish tbe happiness of tbe hybrid offspring, and jon will see tbat every animal is moro devei. oped, every moral quality more depressed, every physical infirmity mM$ ex«gr gerated than cither of the pure- races

The argument that Mr. .Pendleton -dti tends to make by this is thst the enfranchisement of the colored race would cuii1tribute to amalgamation and--tile commingling of blood. He says ''OireuuV?tances have been favorable to tbt& iuualf ga ma tion in the Southern States ",s does he phrase -it so delicately?' \Vh_j does be notsay tbat alavery wus tkvorabie to amalgamation? Why loes he not aajf thit wherever slavery exfeted wherever the negro was degraded aud helpless de nied all rigbts ibat a white mud wun bound to respect, amalgamation exi-tcci and flourished on a large scale? and why does he not say that in the Northern States where tbe negro is protected in the marriage relation and treated as a man' amalgamation is almost -wholly unknown in Massachusetts where the colorec man has enjoyed every political right foi more than thirty years, it is said a case has not occurred for many yeais. And in this greafc-Stateof Ohio, wi.l voiiture the opinion that the cases are extremely rare. If you would,prevent ihe evils tf amalgamation, educate, elevate and? enfranchise tbe colored race. Gt.ve them sell respect, make them feel tbat they are tneu and women before the law and b«iore tbe world,, and you will thus have almost perfect security against* the evils of amalgamation.

To withhold suffrage from tbe colored race is to violate other .fundamental principles of our Government. We say that the "Government exists only by the cou sent of the governed," and bere.is ruce tbat hfts nbver consented, and bus no means to consent or dissent. We say that "taxation and representation should go to gether," and here is a race that is taxed but not represented*

But more than all this, the colored man' has helped to fight your battle, and has mingled his blood with yours on mauy a field he has- been patriotic and loyal while thousands of whites in your midst have been disloyal he has pai tuxes a helped to bear all tbe burdens of the State he has shown intellect and cupae^' ty he has displayed enterprise and vaioT and why BboulJ he not vote? The answer is prejudice, prejudice, which is over strongest in the weakest breast.

To that unfortunate class of tbe people who have no politics b.ut hatred to tbe negro, and- wliorlive in* dearly fear 6t! amalgamation, and that if he has equa. rights given^ to bim ho Will become tneir superior socially, intellectually and politically, I tender my profound sympathies Tneir case is beyond tbe reach of human aid, and all that we can do is to smooth' their passage to that bourne where tbey are not married or given in marriage, and where tbey will- be safe from the social dangers to which they are exposed here.

RECONSTRUCTION.

Wheh'the war ended in the fpring of 1865 nine of the rebel States were left without governments of any kind. The officers composing the rebel State governments were either killed, captured, or bad fled, andState authority of all kinds bad disappeared. This presented a case expressly provided for by tbe Constitution of the United States, wbich declared that tbe United States shall guarantee to each State a Republican form of govern ment. Slate governments had ceased to exist, and it was tbe duty ahd the right of tho government of tbe United States lo reor. ganize new ones upon a loyal Ropublicaji basis. Mr. Jonnson recognized this ctrridiiion of things and the power of the gov ernment of tbe United States, but aseuai ed tbe right to initiate a plan of recon struction himself independent of Con grets.

Tbis of course Was clearly without the limits of his constitutioual power, but was declared by him at ihe timu, anJ by Mr. Seward, Sjcrotary of State, thai these new governments would be provUiona only, until tbey were s*nciiontd by Con gress,and that the whole business would be submitted to Congre-s for coneid oration at the next Bession. Hid tbe President adhered' to this purpose probable ail would bave gine well at Inst and tbe present state of things woula not exist. But unfortunately be failed to submit bis work to Congress, lie assumed the right to accept their now State eon stitutions without the consent of Congress. He received and treated tbeir new governments as legal and republican, and thus actually exercised tbe power of reconstruction without ihe sanction of tbe people as expressed through their rep re sentatives in Congress. Tbe power to form the governments of nine States tbat had been in rebellion was too great to be exercised by one oian. Tbe setilemeut we bid to make witb rebels, and tne adjustment of their institutions on a loyal basis which would give security for tbe future, was a matter of tbe greatest im portance, in whieh all the people were interested, upon which ther must be heard through Gongress. As the' President baa no power of himself to establish State Governments, and as they were never sanctioned by Congress, tuey wero uri*u thorieed aud illegal, and are in that condition to-day In tbe summer of 1866, Congress, still disposed to harmonize matters with the President if possible, and to disturb as little as might be tbe existing state of things, submitted to rebel States for their acceptance an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, containing four conditions which were regarded as of vital importance to the future peace and security ot the Republic, with tbe tacit understanding tbat if accepted and duly ratified tboy should constitute a basis of settlement and reconstruction. The effect of this would have been to acoept the existing rebel State Governments and make them legal, sub» jeet to the conditions and restrictions contained in tbe amendment. The Northern States promptly ratified the amendment, bat the people of tbe Sou to, acting under the vehement advice and persua-

$f t!| Northern Democracy, rfjectit scornfully and declared would cept naterms but the Oneondfiional regnitioh of their State Gofwnments and admission of their Representatives inw Congrpss. And thns the issue was made up between Congress and the President and between the loyal people and tbe rebels, on the let of January, 1867. In tho meantime these State Governments had been in the possession of the and malignant Tebels, whose utterances ani influences were all disloyal and against submission to any terms of reconstruction- Loyal men both white"and black, were denied the protection of the laws, and a system of murderous persecution instituted which was intended to drive all white Union men from tho S utb and extirpate the last traces of loyal sentiment. The poor freedmen were driven from the humble homes and|murdered with the boldest im punity, and a reign of terror established which excited the horrors of the civilised world. The bloody riots of Memphis and

New Orleans, tnking rank with the New York riots of 1863, will ever be regarded as among the greatest atrocities tbat have Occurred in christian land. During this period tbe Democratic party of tbe North were jubilant. It habitually denied tbe existence of the crimes and outrdgeS^ffltnilttfd In this "South, »nd l^ben ihpt JVBS impossible sought to mitijwtti jjlifhi by laying tho blame upon tne R'Sdiftife, lht Were slanderously charged with persecuting tbe harmless rebels by whom tbey wee surrounded.

It stimulated by every means in its power tbe Southern people to continued disobedienoe, to increased hatred of the Government, and to the contemptuous defiance and rejection of all terms that might be offered. NEW RECONSTRUCTION ON

PLE.

Up to this timo every plan of recon dtriiuiteh bad been based upon the whitel voting population, leaving to tbe decis-

of thnt population tbe question of en franchising the colored men. It was so in Lincoln's plan, in the Winter Davis bill rn j6t:non's plan, and under tbe Constitutional Amendment. All hopes of re construction upon that basis were gone.— The whites, nineteen-twentieths of whom were rebels uhd«*r the Sttanic influence of the Nostht Democracy, continued dis 1 ••yal, hostile and perverse. A new plan O. reconstruction was indispensable, and 'it-must be upon a totally different principle. Judgment of illegality and condem nation must be pronounced upon th* President's policy and workmanship. The power of the Administration to impede liiM action of Congress and defeat a new plan of ^reconstrui tion must be neutralized. Tne Constitutional amendment must rititled, aud ail State officers, as well as Members of Congress, must bo loyal and aole to take the irouclad oa.h.

But we must dig deeper. We must go down tothe solid mid immutable principles the Declaration of independence, discarding all matter of expediency and com promise. We must lay the foundations of the new reconstruction upon the great principles of equal rights and equal justice. We must place the ballot in tbe.hands of all men, without distinction of color, ex cept such as have been disfranchised for treason or other crimes. And all tbis has been done As it took us some time to dnd the right method to carry on the war, and t(ie right man to command our ar mies, so it lias taken us some timo to find out the right plan of reconstruction, but wci bave got it at last. We are not simply building from tbe ground up, but from iue solid rock beneath tbe ground. The structure rises slowly but surely. No en during and beautiful edifice was ever built In a day.

Some delays there have been in the progress of the work, and others may be expected but they will bo temporary.— No earthly power can defeat tne enter prise.. Tbe Attorney General thrust in bis opinion just in time to onable Con gress to meet and legislate its sophistries away. Gallant and glorious Phil. Sheri dun has been removed, but he is succeed ed by Thomas, the iron soldier, who never lost a battle. Stanton, the greatest war ministers in this or any other country, has been deposed, but his place is filled by Grunt, the greatest soldier of the a und still the work goes bravely on. Rebel States will rise from tbe ashes of the Rebellion with renewed life, Radical Republican States, purified by blood and fire, having slo igbed off the foul gar ments of a treasonable Democracy and clothed in the habiliments of liberty, jus tice and hyalty, will take their places jo*fully in. the Union. And we will unite our hearts and our hands until tbe work is accomplished

Wo will not be diverted from our purpose or delayed by side issues until the great consummation is obtained. When the unity of the republio has been restor ed when liberty and peace prevail throughout the land when the fangs of unrepentant rebels have been extracted and they have been rendered harmless the balance of tbeir days, we shall have time to attend to subordinate affairs and will do it to the hearts' conteut of Democratic politicians. We shall then adjust all queati cs of finance, currency, banks, tariffs and taxation, and bave much time left to attend to the Repudiators, the Bourb ng, and the Rip Van Winkles of a docayed and expiring Demooracy.

THE SOLDIERS OF OHIO.

Soldiers of Ohio! You have won an iniperisbable name in the war for the preservation of the Union. Your glori ous deeds and great names will forever form a crown of glory for your State.— You were among the first to rush to arms when ur country called, and did not lay them down until the last armed foe bud fled ibe field. Side by bide witb the soldiers from every loyal State, you bore down upon the rebel busts witb re»istless v«lor, until final and overwhelming victory crowned your arms. The great rebellion could not be subdued by the art of stattsmansbip. It could not be averted by fair words, plausible expedients, or e^en by abject submission in the North. It sprang into life clad in iron mail, and lully »nned for strife most bloody, wicked at unnatural, and could be met only by the oword, wielded by men who were resoivednot to survive tho ruin of their country. Tho struggle was long and decperate.' You fought tbem at immense disadvantage, in far off regions, through mountain, wilderness and swamp, where every rock, and gorge and morass Was a fasuieas for bidden enemies. You fought Tn un unknown country, against disease, hunger and '.bo heats of a sultry clime, Whore it hai been said tbat the white men from the North could not look and live.

But thanks to the favor of divine Providence you triumphed over every obstacle and enemy, and were permitted to return to your beloved homes, while thousands of yourcomrades who fell gloriously sleep dully in tbe aoi tbey rescued from trai-t-r hands. Otie of your companions, of wb we are Ail proud, the gallant Hayes, bas been placed in nomination for the office of Governor. He bears tbe same standard now b^ bre aloft in tbe field. It represents ttip same cause now it did then, and is besdt by the same enemies. I appeal to you t» again rally to that fiandard. Lei there be no desertion, no •ixaggling, no feigning ot sickness, no muuered disconteuip, and with resistless £orce aud unbroken front defeat at the ballot box the insidious foe wbo would wrest irom your grasp the fruits and laurels of your blood bought victories.
