Geveraer SeySMiir*! ^eeeh—'llie Public Qaestlone before me Oonn> try. We pablUh thti mornleir the complete report of the able, eloquent, end dignified speech of Governor Ssrutotrs, of New York, on bla taking the chair as President of the Demo, cratlo Convention In that State. We commend its perusal to all who wish to be Informed upon the questions at lisue before the country and which will be determined in the Presidential election of next year. The New Y ork World, In commenting upon this effort of of Governor Skymour, remarks that “ there is perhaps no statesman in tho Dimocratlo party who Is always so well received as Governor Sxymour, mid there Is none who Is more free from oratorical fllppery and attempts at low wit. Continuity of thought, sustained gravity, clearness, earnestness, dignity,polished diction free from all tawilrlness, are the characteristics of Governor Skymouu's speaking; breadth of > low, logical force, and thorough Information supplying the matter of which his style Is a (It vehicle. That he Is as popular with Democratic audiences us he is always instructive, is u gratifying proof of the superiority of reasoning to clap-trap In electioneering oratory.” “The elections of this fall are only Iho sklrmUlics which precede the great battle of next vrar, a conti st that will decide the destinies of the country for years to come. It is the masses of tho people, tho men whoso labor give value to capital and produces the wealth < l the country, that arc the most deeply interested in the result. The consequences of misrule will be most deeply felt by the great body of tiio people who live by the sweat of the l.row, und that class will have the power, If tin y choose lo exert, it, to shape the policy of the country through tho agency of tho ballot l>o\.

Tho griuid jury i ( the Floyd circuit court, which meets on tho fourth Monday of this m tnth, will pay their fpeclal regards to tho guilders. The New Albany Zecfyer says: It is well known that there are a number of regular gambling dens In this city, and it Is un.loistood that enough Is known as to the doings in th ■•e dens to insure tho finding of a mi'nber of indictments, not only against the proprietors, but also against persons who frequent them and play at cards and other games of chance In them. It is also understood that thfisa who have been betting on horse races, foot races, and havo been guilty of other kinds i f gambling, wl’l also be brought to gi icf. We have no doubt that when thegrand jury meets many of tho gay, young, middle aged, and old men who visit these disreputable and illegal resorts,will havo pressing business to call them to tho rural districts. This Is tho way they will attempt to evade a sum. linns that will make witnesses ol them.” —The Morgan Ga~elte says that David C. Hranham and If ibert Cravens, of Madison, and Cyrus M.

Tho Jluv.ac tin sot ta Democracy. At the Democratic State Convention of Massi husetts, on Tuesday, the following resoluth ns were unanimously adopted: Hrsolred. That each State tn the Union Is live, sovereign and Independent, and entitled to exereise and enjoy every power, jurisdiction a.u| n ;ht which is not expressly delegated to the General Government in the Constitution of the United States. lictolrcd, That the burdens Imposed upon the people through an absurd system of taxation and a vast expenditure of money for the support of a coyupt and extravagant administration of the General Government, and to nn et the expense of a large standing army, demand our serious consideration and a speedy tefirm, that tn Nation may fallequally on property and labor. /.Vs dved, Tbht those members of Congress whe have passed laws outside of and In defl* unco of tho Constitution lor the purpose of subordinating tho civil to the military power have trilled with the salegunrds of justice, liberty and peace, and aro guilty of perjury and usurpation. Jt’caolved. That tho real sympathy and regard of the Republican party for the soldiers who have mo bravely fought the battles of the country are to bo found in the action of the R publican Senate of the United States, which has refused to confirm the nomination of any soldier to oillce, however faithful and brilliant his services in the laid, unless he voted the t eket of the party. Itcsolvcd, That the Increase of the State debt, during tbo war, of up tfards of $40,000,• (MM), and the wasteful extravagance of the party has added tn rather than diminished the debt. Is nlariiilng, ami demands a change of administration of tho State government. licaolved. That tbo Democratic party Is now, and always has been, in favor of aiding and protecting tho interests of labor by any legitimate meens, because it is the main basis of all invtonal prosperity, and because the happiness and well being of the great mass of the nation must always depend upon the prosperity of labor; therefore wc are in favor of any leglslati.o measures to enable the laborer to secure tho fair and just reward for bis labor, and of tho immediate repeal of those unjust and unequal class laws whereby consumers and producers are alike defrauded by monopoly and speculation. We are also In favor of a system by which men aod women who labor may bo entitled to Invest and use their earnInga In co-operative effort, and obtain such a just and fair share of the profits of labor and capital combined as will enable them to regulate and control the nours of their own labor, and such a system should be encouraged by all proper and nec^asary legislation. Jleeolved. That we distinctly reaffirm and avow, without reservation, the traditional Democratic principle of opposition to all legislation that Infringes on tbo private rights and liberties of the citizen; and we especially oppose the extraordinary and odious method of the enforcement of the laws by systems of espionage and by subsidized spies und inform-
ers.
The Wonders off Ancient Iffome. Modern writers, taking London and Darla for tbelr measure of material > Ivllizatton, seem unwilling to admit Gut Rome could have reached such a pitch of Jury, and wealth, and power. To him who atands within the narrow limits of the Forum, as it now appean, It seems Incredible that it could have been the center of a much larger city than Europe can now boast of. Grave historians are loth to compromise tbetr dignity and character for truth hv admitting statement# which ■eem.to men of limited views, to be fabulous, and which transcend modern experience. But we should remember that most of the monuments of ancient Rome have entirely disappeared. Nothing remalea of the Palace of the Cwsars, which nearly covered the Palatine Hill; little
of the fora which connected together, covered a space twice an large ae that Inclosed by the palaces of the Louvre aod Tutlerlee with all
their galleries and ooarta: almost nothing of the glorlee of Capttolme Hill; and little comparatively of those Thermic which were a mile in circuit But wiiat does remain attests an
unparalleled grandeur—the broken pillars of the Forum; the lofty eolums of Trsjsn and Marcus Aurelius; the Pantheon, lifting He apacloua dome two hundred feet In the eir; the mere vestibule of the baths of Agiippa: the triumphal arobes of Titus and Trajan and Constantine; the bridge* which span the Tiber; tb* aqueducts which crossed the Campagna; the Cloaea Maxima, which drained the marshes and lakea of tb* Infant city; but above *11, the Coloaeenm. What glory and shame are aeeoclated with that single edifice! That alone, If nothing else remained of pagan antiquity, would indicate a grandeur and sfblly such ns can not now be seen on earth It revenie a wonderful shill in masonry, and great architectural strength; It shows the wealth and reeoureea of rulers who must have had th* treasure# of th* world et their com-

Gentlemen of the Contention:
We ere startled by the cry of the leaders of the party holding p«|Lical qj jw.er that our country is In great peril. After wading through! the bloodshed of civil war that peace wbleh wehesiod with)§y r and WWeb they told us waa to give strength and prosperity to our land, brings now danger to the Republic. We can not, If w« would, escape from confronting the problems of the safety, honor nor patriotism w.m ■uu« us w stand dumb or inactive la a dark hour of danger. We have put down rebellion; we are now struggling, with revolution. The first sectlonsl; the Test to universal. The first •ought to divido our country; tho last threat-
ana to destroy It.
At the national capital we see that the party which placed In power the present Chief Magistrate, now charges him with treason, and many of Us leaders have Instilled Into the public mind the horrible suspicion that he was In league with the murderers who struck down the life which stood between him and the Kx cxcutlve chair. The world is aghast while it hears so foul an accusation uttered in the halls of tho Legislature without rebuke. In the House of Representattvos members mske against each other charges of judicial murder, robbery, theft and corruption. A military member allege* his legal associate plotted the death and carried to the gallows an Innocent woman lor partisan purposes. The accuser is charged In return with the fact of going to the war a poor man and coming back a poor General and a rich man; laden, not with the spoils of victory, but plunder, stolen from those placed under his protection. The congressman who stands up as the accuser of tbo President is confronted by hts own letter, showing hts utter rottenness. We are saved from the hateful task of laying bare the frauds and crimes of those who are administering our Government. God’s law for punishing the guilty makes them become mutual accusers. In the hate and rage which ever springs up among criminals all are anxious to turn upon and
convict their teliow.
While the Senate has done less to shock the world and bring our government Into contempt, it has been the furum where principles have been asserted and a policy pursued revolutionary In tendency and far-reaching In their Inlluencus to keep alive disorder and political convulsions. In Its blindness It Is striking suicidal blows against its own existence. Its members have become the ruling power In our government—vested with equal rights of lawmaking with the popular branch. They can also decide upon all treaties, which, within their scope, rise above the statutes. They control the appointing power; tor the vast patronage of government can only be exercised with their consent. They can, as a judicial bodv, depose the President or Vice President »>— by the people and ( £l a ™ e ™‘ lue Executive Chair. They hold their places by terms longer than those of any other elective branch of government, yet they do uot In the nature of their organization represent the people In form or fact. They are chosen by Legislatures, not by the people. States having by the census of 1SC0 less than ouc-quarter of tho population of our country appoint a majority of its members. Nine States whose citizens are more than one-half ot this people, are represented by only one-fourth of Its members. Thus made up and wielding a power overtopping that of all other branches, they should pause and ponder well before opening the floodgates of revolution. Yet, It these members sought to have the Senate rubbed out of the constitutional theme, they could not do acts imre hateful to the people or give reasons more powerful for Its overthrow than tbelr own teaching with regard to the rights of Impartial suffrage and by their action in
the lace ol their teachings.
Colorado, which may be overrun by hostile Indians before the year passes, which can not by force of its numbers, uphold the rudiment of a State, to-day balances in the scale the four millions of people of New York. It was admitted merely to gain two votes in a struggle with the Executive. But a bolder act Is in view unless this dangerous game to get power over the majority by a rotten borough system is stopped. Twenty Senators are to be admitted from ten States lately In rebellion, not as representatives of the white people, for they are disfranchised; not of the blacks, for it Is indiscreet to claim that a race who are declared by Congress to be unable to take care of themselves, and are placed under the guardianship of the freedmen’s bureau and military chiefs, would, as a body, know ot the existence of suck representatives—but they are to be admitted because they hold the views of the majority of the Senators, and because they are sent to Washington by thetr agents. These Senators mean to be their own c nstituents— to become a close corporation and have more representatives of their own selection than the majority of the peop.c of the country living In nine States. About sixty Republican Senators will, beyond tbelr own votes, have in the twenty members sent by the freedmen’a bureau more representatives than sixteen million of American people living In New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, AVlsconsIn, Ohio and Missouri. Not content with bolding tn subjection the people of the South they mean to extend In the name of the negro tbelr domination over the North and South alike. It would seem that this madness was enough to make their destruction sure. But here, after acts like these, tney solemnly declare they are in favor of what they call manhood suffrage. Be It so, but with it must go manhood representation. Manhood suffrage must not be nsed to destroy the right of the majority of the people of this country. If It Is the natural right of a negro tn Florida to have a vote, it is not his right to have it count forty fold more In tho Senate of the United States than that of a man in New York. If It is tho natural right of a man In New York to have a vote, it Is also his natural right to have it count as much In the controlling branch of the government as that of a
man in Rhode Island.
If this revolution Is begun it must go on to Its logical just end. It must not roll on the necks of tbe msjority of the American people to stop there; but members must be represented, not rotten boroughs or sham States. We implore Senators not to begin revolution. Be content with your vast powers. Your organization is at war with impartial suffrage and impartial representation. If you continue your usurpation tbe country may not be content with driving you back within constitutional limits. It may go farther, and, acting upon doctrines you assert, It may crush you out and make another Senate based In truth upon manhood suffrage. The country needs peace; but If you will nave revolution it can not stop at any chalk lines you may mark out. Tbe nine States, with a majority of the people, with Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan, all of which are now virtually disfranchised in your body, for they are controlled by the representativeff of a quarter of our population—if our government Is to bo reshaped, will have their full rights. Thev are not suffering merely from theoretical wrongs. The destruction of the carrying trade of New York and tbe overtaxation of tbe Northwest, show how unequal distribution of power makes unequal burthens. Daring tbe wai of the rebellion we felt the exertion of the senatorial power upon the weak bead of tbe enrolling bureau In fixing quotas of States. While their purposes were to save their own constituents from the sacrifices of war,by so doing they threw upon other States the cost of life and blood. In New Yoik this grew into abuses so flagrant that even partisan passions could not be blind to the outrages. But tbe Northwestern States suffered the most severely from this Injustice. 1 have tbe official proof that while the average quotas in the congressional districts of Massachusetts and Newllampshire were.2,167 In Illinois they were 4,004 In Indiana they were .3,248 In Wisconsin they were 3,172 In Michigan they were 3,047 We ask the people of New England If it is not time for them to stop the stupid malice of tbelr Senators; to put a stop tb the teaching that New England senatorial power Is In violation of natural rights. We suffer 1* New York by tho present constitutional law, but we seek peace. We wish to uphold the constitutional powers of all the States. We remember tbe glorious part thev bore in tbe revolutionary contest. If time has changed thetr comparative population, we do not wish to strip them of any political power. We Implore them not to teach doctrines which must, in tbelr ends, be destructive to them and hurttul to tbe peace of the country. What Is the social condition of tbe country? I shall speak only of the Institution of the North. It is not possible to fasten tbe Republican party to any standpoint as to tbe condition of the Southern people. They are in or out of the Union ae partisan purposes demand. They must carry constitutional amendments, but they are punished If they vote. They must do tbelr political duties, but are held to be criminal If they take part In public affairs. The Southern people have to deal with political problems more bewildering than the the-
ologfeal dogma* which are aet forth In the
verse:
••Ton can and yon can’t, Yon will and tou won’t, Yon'ii be damned If yon do, And you’ll bo damned if you don’t.” The social state of our country is alarming. Tbe public la startled with unusual violence and murder throughout our Und. Men, and women too, kill those who hare done no wrong; life and property hay* become unsafe. Our people have learned to do these things from those who should hive taught reverence for tbe laws. The me is which were sown when men were Imprisoned, mobbed or murdered because they honVstly differed from the party in power, are now springing up In an abundant harvest of crime, which plagues and curses those who were actors in violence or consenting witnesses to outrage upon their neighbors. If, when an unworthy secretory
elections approved of these sets of their represen tail vet. The fabric of our Government has been already Ikarfully shaken by tbe violation of personal and political righto; we must not add repudiation to the list of crimes which destroy confidence In republican govern menu. Tbo first step to uphold the public faith, Is to put forth an honest statement of our affairs. The credit of our Government is lower to the markets of the world than that of any Christian country in Europe. It has sunk to the level of that ot the Turk, the “ sick man of tbe East.” When you look at tbe Bet of prices of national atock, you will find that our bonds, taking Into account the great Interest we pay, an telling for lee* than half the price given tor those of Great Britain. When we lay them aide by side upon the counter of the capitalist, he takes the British bond at a rate which will give him back in the course of twenty years, only $1,700, while we pay him $2,700 during the same time. That is to say, when the United States borrows $1,000 In gold, It pays tho lender, principal and Interest, In twenty years, $'2,700; • — we burrow
ears loan 000. But
having the markets of the world, and coming to our own shores, we find our citizens will not trust our Government upon tbe same terms, which they give to their neighbors. The bonds of the United States pay an interest to those who buy them of about eight per cent. They also give an exemption from taxation, worth one or two per c<-nt. more. Yet men eagerly seek safe securities which, with tbe drawback of taxation, pay but about half the interest given by our Government. Every day’s interest given by our Government; every day’s report from Europe that flashes along the electric line, tells that tbe nation’s credit is lower than that of the bonds put forth by a corporation of its own creation. Our shame Is proclaimed in the markets of the world onco in twenty-four hours. This is a position of danger and disgrace. At any moment foreign war or civil commotion may topple over this feeble credit and leave us helpless, despite all our resources and our boastful sense of national power. Why does the world—why do our own citizens distrust the faith of the Government? Why, when this question presses itself upon the public mind, do those who hold political power in our land, strive to turn public attention away from tho subject? Constant efforts to keep alive the passions of tbe Norto, do not spring so much from hatred of ihc South, as from the fear that the people may look Into tho linauclal condition of tbe country. Whou taxation presses heavily upon labor, a new committee Is at once ordered by Congress to look up or invent
Southern outrages.
A series of telescopic views of fir off and irritating subjects are constantly held up »« public eye, lest these wntch most concern aome should get a share of our scrutiny. They are anxious at the pending election to keep men’s thoughts intent upon the squabble between mtlttary and civil members of their party. They would have their bubbles of tbe hour tako up the attention of our people. This through all time has been the device of those unable to lace their creditors, or who seek public or private plunder. I believe wise statesmanship can save oar honor, pay our debts, and lift the load of taxation from our people. Let us, then, confront our financial problem*. Why is our national credit so low? Because ours is tbe only government in the world that seeks to keep alive hatred and discord within Its borders; because it Is revolutionary in Its tendencies; because it
dare not, imprison without warrant and punish without trtoi, weak and wicked vanity had keen fittingly whipped by justice, tb* floodgate* of violence would not havo been opened. But he waa upheld and • horde of robbers and brutal men, drunk with uanaual power, were organized ae spies and datoctivea, and let loose upon th* public. spirit of cowardly aad criminal violence that was Mat out from tbs department of State, In time stalked back Into tbe chamber of the secretary In tba four form of the amas •In. Murder, robbery and araon afflict tbe people who did not ear* wbst wrongs ware doae to tbetr neighbors. If w* would avert God’s just Judgment, let us all try now to bring back reverence for thflaws wbtoh enr Fathers left us as a bentH* and which wo have waited. It was sot courage but cowardice wbtoh mad* ti» administration trample upon law*, court# aad home righto, and mad* judges trail
tramples upon all tbe rights of person, of property, of freedom of thought and opinion which had heretofore been the living principles of our political fabric, and which alone u’lvcs It strength and value; because it has violated all the pledges which it gave from time to time In tho course of the rebellion: because It Influenced tbe different States making up the Union to repudiate their sacred obligations. They say with truth, that to pay a man with debased paper money, when he has had the premise of coin, Is bad fatth. Yet In New York, the great commercial State of the Union, when wo were about to pay the public creditor, who had given us not a depredated currency, but sterling coin, the Interest money that was due him, he was forced to take a debased paper at terms worth less than half its
face.
As Governor of this State I implore a Republican Legislature not to do this great wrong. I pointed out the cost of repudiation to our State and Nation; I reminded them that we could not dlssrrace the chief—the commercial stateof this Union, the most popular and wealthy of nil, without bringing shame upon our land. Tbe appeal was made in vain. Every Democratic Senator voted in favor of keeping up tho faith of the State, whib' > h Republican placed himself upon the record in ffavor of repudiation. This ono base act has cost our State ten fold in coin tho price of an honest payment of our debts. It has thrown upon us a shame which no words can tell. Another cause for tho low, and, at this time, warning credit of tbe Government, is that tbe business men of tbe world see that the statements put forth by the Treasury, are used to mislead the people. I do not charge that they are untrue; they give the amount of bond and currency debt,and such claims as appear upon
>ki
the books of the used to make the
they arc pon the
department, but false impression up
minds of the people, that the burthens of taxation will soon grow lighter, and that the public securities are gaining in real strength and value. Perjaps it Is not the fault of the Secretary that they do not set forth other facts which fill wiib alarm every thoughtful man. We are In truth making In this country another form of indebtedness, which does not appear upon bis books, but which are a prior lien to that held by the public creditor. When a government, by its policy, fastens upon a people new and lasting expenses, it makes obligations which are as bunhensome to the tax payers, as If they were annual Interest upon
Its bonds.
When our Government entered upon the plan of governing the South by military power, when it resolved to rupture the whole political structure In one-third of tbe Union, by disfranchising the intelligent white man, and giving to tbe ignorant negro political control it Increased tbe permanent cost of this Government about two hundred millions every year. Tbe man does not live who will see the day when this military power and Its fearful cost can be cut down under the policy which now directs our public affilrs. Our public expenses apart from Interest on tbe debt, have gone up from $58,000,000 In 1860, to about $185,000,000. In 1866, if we add tbe Interest on tho debt, and tt foots up $322,000,000. Our rulers are making beyond the cost of tbe last Democratic administration, and beyond the Interest on any debt, extra charge* upon the Treasury of $127,000,000 or what would be the Interest of five per cent, on $1,500,000,000, taxing tbe people as heavily as the debt. But this Is not all, as these new charges are counted among the expenses of Government they are prior Hens, and must be first paid. If the pledges of the party In power had been kept, to-day these would have been but a narrow margin between tbe claims of the bondholder, and the sum paid by revenues Into the. national treasury. But the world now secs an army with banners, a host of officials and vast and corrupting expenditure wedging in between the public treasury anu tbe public creditor. Tbe latter la constantly
pushed back in order of payment.
He finds bla demand rapidly sinking towards tbe bottom of a lengthening Hat of claims. Yet tbe bondholders are called npon by tbe Republican leaders to act as a rear guard to the hosts who are emptying the treasury, and putting into tbelr own pockets tbe money which should go to tbe pnblic creditor. There Is another peril to the bolders of our securities: tbe odium of taxation is thrown upon them. Tbe people are taught tbat tbe money wrung from them by the tax gatherer all goes to the bolder of bonds, yet In truth, while $137,000,000 millions was paid for Interest In 1856, $185,000,000 was given to uphold armies and military power to officials, to freedmen’a bureaus to clothe and feed the negro and other expenses growing ont of tbe policy of crushing out the Southern States. Men of the North, you will soon find tbat tbe fetters forged for tbe hands of the South are light Indeed compared with the yokes which •re placed upon your necks. Tbe annual Increase of the cost of our Government beyond Its expenses In 1860, Is equal to the interest at six per cent, upon a debt of $2,100,000,000. It Is due to the Secretary of tbe Treasury to say that any warning he bos given against waste and corruption, haa been unheeded by Congress. A re we then lessening our national obligations? Again, while tbe Republican Journals use tbe reports of tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury to enourage tbelr followers with hope of relief, they do not point out to them tbe startling fact, that If the volume of bonded debt Is diminished, tbe Interest to be paid upon tbat debt la growing greater. The policy of our rulers la to tarn non-interest paying obll gallons Into a tax exacting form so that tbe treasury reports show tbat the taxation demanded to pay tho national interest is grow
tag greater each day.
It may be asked if we can cure tbe evils under which the country labors; If we can lift off the heavy burden of taxation which crushes our industry? If wa can build up the credit of our nation? Wipa off tbe disgrace which ■olla onr credit, and remove th* danger which threatens tbe safety of the Republic? If I did not believe tbat we could do all this, 1 would not stand here to impeach the wisdom of those in power. I do not call la question the motives of tbe mass of tha Republican party, but 1 aver, aad time has proved tbat Ito organization can not dtaebarge tba horde of officers wbleh eats up tbe substance rf our country And I will show whv, wltho .:. claiming for ouraelvea «u pert or vtnu'' or i*-u tiara, the Instincts aad policy of tbe Republican party lead us to bankruptcy, and float bad men to the surface of public affaire, and corrupt officials In the discharge of ttulr duties. And why upon the other Band, our policy, although onr ranks are filled as their’# are, by good and bad
man, loads to opposite result*.
Those who now hold the power hare not only hewed up the line of repudiation, but they bavo done tbe public creditor wrong la other respect*: they have turned away tba the public mind from all scrutiny Into our financial condition; they have not tried to give raluetotbepublic credit: theyhnv*la that boastful spirit which mode the lata civil waa •a wMtefnl of Mood aad craMdreuby undeaMatiag tba difficult.*, aad daagenoi the publlcjpMtloa, tried to dead** t£a public senae with regard to Impending danger.

and corruption which piled up the national debt; I have protested against the criminal folly which exempted them from taxation; but those were acta of tha American people, through their lawful representatives, and have been sanctioned by them ta their subsequent elections, and they should pay tbe penally. I would keep tbe public faith. While we condemn tbe error# of tbe past, ictus, with zeal, seek to make tbe future prosperous by patient, patriotic iff .ru to bring back again our Government to Its formtr wisdom, bonesty aad simplicity. Why should notour credit be made as good ns tbat of Great Biitatn’a? We owe less, bur means are greater. Why la not our credit better than that of the Turk, whose wealth and power does not compare with ours? Simply because th^e powers are seeking to uphold the integrity of thetr domain, the peace and well being of tbelr people, and to keep down the cost of thetr government. In no other government in the world than ours are military oflicors wielding despotic powers told tbat they will be deposed when peace and order exists within their domains. In no other country than ours are agents, like those of the freedmen’s bureau, bribed by tbe love of power and by the love of gain to keep up discord and Instigate sectional bate. If tbe expense of our Government bad been put down at an expense twice ns great as that spent by tbe last Democratic administration, and tbe balance of our income bad been used to pay the public debt, our bonds would have been worth as much as those of Britain, or nearly twice their present value. It Is not the bondholder; 1t is tbe officeholder who moat taxes our people and wringfrom labor the fruits of its toll. These are the vampires that suck the blood of the people. It is not the taah-mastcr, but tbe Government agents and officials who force the mechanic to lengthened hours of toil, for he must support these as well as hts family before he can take rest for hD wearied limbs. If the money collected by Government, after letting the Republicans spend twice as much as was ever used by a Democratic administration, was paid to leasenj.ur debt, not only would we give wealth to me bondholder and relief to the tax-payer, but we should lessen the cost of all tbat our country buys. It would go Into market with a better credit. We could then command tbe specie of tbe world; we could gain tt in exchange for our st. urilics as the governments of Europe do. Now they are peddled out all tm r Europe at half price tn exchange for dry goods and groceries. They are taken cautiously and slowly, although tbe European buyer gets an interest of about eight per cent, in cola, while the rate of interest paid for money in London to-«J»y ^*reiy two per cent. Does every man see and know tbat this monstrous disgrace would not stain the honor ot our country If there was a wise, honest and patriotic administration of its aff ire? Do uot the reports of the Secretary of the Treasury show tbat we could swiftly wipe out our debt If our income wag not perverted to partisan purposes? Do not the columns of the press teem with statements of official plunders and frauds In every quarter of our land, while public virtue rots under this wasteful expenditure of the public fund. It Is said it is repudiation to force our legal tender upon the bondholders. What makes It so? The low credit of the country. Build tbat up; make your paper as good as gold, and this question can not come up. Then tbe bondholder will not care which you give him. This controversy grows out of the fact that men do not believe our legal tenders are or ever will be as good as gold. If It Is repudiation to pay such money, it la repudiation to keep It debased by waste and by partisan plans to keep the country in disorder and danger. Let me say a few words to bond holders. It Is a hard thing for tax payers to pay the national debt. It is a hard thing to pay interest
bear no part of the cost of the laws which protect your person and property and educate your children. It is hard for tbe farmers, with falling prices for their produce, to stand up under these things. It Is bard for tbe mechanic to labor ten or twelve hours each day. when eight hours would support him, but for the increased cost of living, growing out of taxation. We are struggltngto keep the faith with you. Will you add three fold to these burdens by upholding a policy which distracts our country, endangers icclety, corrupts our Government and oppresses labor? Our rulers are as untrue to you as they are to constitutional law and civil liberty. I heard, many years ago, at the outset of the agitation which plunged us into civil war, the men who claim the honor of that result, declare In public assemblages that “slavery was a crime, and that all property was slavery.” I hear to-day the like of that cry from senatorial Ups. You can, If you will, put an end to disorder, cor-
ruption and revolution.
But the reports of the treasury do not show tbe lull volume of money drawn from our people by taxation. I do not speak of the heavy burdens of State, county or municipal taxation. These are all marked with the spirit of cost and corruption engendered at the National Capitol. But I wish to call your attention to the Bums drawn from the people which are never reported or accounted for. Take for instance tbe tax upon alcohol, and I might instance many other items ot illicit traffic where the consumer pays, but the treasury does not receive the duties levied. The amount of alcohol used in this country is about one hundred millions of gallons—the duties should be about two hundred millions of dollars each year. Tbe amount paid Into the treasury is less than fifty millions. Who gets the one hundred and fiity mllllobs? aaum nearly three times as great as the yearly cost of the Government before the party of “ great moral Ideas ” came into power. This sum Is paid by tbe consumer, in the arts, or for tbe gratification of bis tastes. Every man knows this enormous amount is divided in some way—sometimes fairly and sometimes corruptly between tbe officers of the law and tbe violator of the law. This tax began with a fraud in Congress, in tbe darkest days of the rebellion. When the national credit was at its lowest ebb, a foul speculation was contrived by buying np the alcohol in our country, then putting a tax of two dollars per gallon on all that should be thereafter made, but no tax upon the amount thus held by these conspirators. Millions were thus swept from tbe treasury into “loyal pockets.” Those who made this law knew from the experience of all nations tbat this tsx could not be collected, but it answered their purpose, and when tbe occasion had gone by, perchance from shame or from partisan purpose, It still stands upon the statute book, and under its provisions hosts of officials are made and corrupted. And all over our land men are bribed to become crlntinals by rewards a hundred fold greater than are offered by honest labor. One hundred and fifty m 11Uona each year; four fold more than is given our schools, or churches, for education or religion, Is spent to cherish crime and corrup-
tion.
And every man who shares in this plunder, whether of tbe law or offenders against the law have a vital interest In keeping those in power who thus legislate against all experience. if not against honesty. When you add the frauds in other departments In regard to other articles we see how the ranks of the Giand Army of rogues and officeholders it recruited. Not by those who fell wounded upon tbe battle field, but by those who have fallen from virtue. Not by those who have won glory in the contest of arms, hot by those who get great gains by assaulU upon the treasury. The people of Europe, when we ask them to buy our bonds, look at these things and see that they foster waste, corruption and
decay.
Another measure Is needed to restore our credit and honor. Give us back our commerce. A few years since we were a great maritime power, our ships whitened every ocean. Where are they now? Official reports show that the carrying trade, once a source of wealth and power has been nearly lost. Tbe ships which bear our products abroad or bring the immigrant to our shore sail under foreign flags. Our commerce waa swept from tbe aea-^not by Southern corsairs, but by Northern Congressmen. Britain will pay for tbe few vessels burned by privateers fitted ont In her ports, not from a sense of justloe, but from a feeling of gratitude toword an administration that boa done so much to build up her power and greatnesa. She baa reaped all the truita of our dvll war. She is now indeed the mistress of the sea. We no longer vex her with our rivalry. We once stood in tbe way of her ambition; we built better and cheaper vessels. Our skill upon tbe sea was .onrivailed; our untaxed artisan* were driving her out of her best markets. Her looms could not move unless we gave her cotton. All la now changed. Onr shipyards are idle. American imports and American exports are borne over tbe ocean nnder British or foreign flags. Our manufacturers call upon Congress to help them live against foreign competition on our own soil. We pile np tariffs to fence ont cheap products, and then load down labor with taxation until the burdens of onr government overtop tbe protection we give by duties upon florelga Imports, and so a leaden pall weigh
npon our Industry.
Beyond all this we have given Britain that for which she has heretofore planned and sc bemad In vain—cotton produefrg colonies. Her India possessions, which weie of doubtful value, are now made by Republican stnpidity, tbe source of enormous wealth and tbe successful rivals of American industry. In five year* before the rebellion tbe annual ▼sin* of tbe cotton sent from India was about $17,000,000. In tbe five following the annual avenge waa about $113,000,000. In 1866 it rose to aeanly the sum of $150,000,000. More effectually to foster this branch of British tn. oustry. Congress gives It a bonns in tbe markets of tbe world by patting an export daty an American cotton. While her production grow# great oura fall off. Never In all her history haa she had aneh allies as tbe Republican party. Her people can well afford to give marked honors to those who have bronght onr
country upon tb* verge of ruin.
Th* great aad crowning measure to lessen the taxation of th* N*rth;to shorten the boon of labor for anr mechaalee; to raise the credit of our securitise: to inspire tbe pease and safety of our land to to give a* back ear Union. Weean nalsagar hearth* ee*l of armies; of spendthrift agaala, of eornmt officials, of food aad clothing 4a vagrant Mien, of meddling with the concern* af far off States, and of ne^tecting onr own affairs.

convicted hr their own friends of fraud aad bar of justice 16 * b * Te eTer been brought to the Against tbe pottey of meddling and centralization we oppose tbe doctrine that government la made strong By leaving Stotos and individual* as much as we can to their own acstatesmanship in public and good morals in private life. If any man doubts the iaflaenewbf gchanga of tbe men In power, let him look at the effect of tbe victories we have gained. Since the re. suit la Maine, California^ Oaaaeetteut, the Republican convention has discovered that foreign bora citizens have righto: that there ought to be freedom enough fa Mto land to let tbe German bare the social customs endeared to him by the associations of home, aad tbat be waa not bound to give up all bto rights of opinion, and alt hts freedom of action, when he becomes an American oitizen. As the shadow of coming defeat falls upon the Bopublicans, they even promise to become honest; and indhtir zeal they have pitched overboard all of their offlctala who have not robbed the treasury. We will end the good week they have begun by throwing the rogues after tbem. Let us lift up the Democratic standard, and raise It high. Let us fight for fireside rights, for freedom cf opinion, for an honest management of public affairs. Above all, let us battle for the restoration of tbe Union, and may God defml the right. Sliall Negroes, and not Women, Vote! Tbe radical doctrinaires, as if seeing how illogical is their position, tbat negroes shall vote, while women are excluded from the ballot box, have been constrained to publish' the following appeal: „ To the Voters of the United States: In this hour of national reconstruction, a a appeal to good men of all parties, to convertions for amending State constitutions, to tie Legislature of every State, and to ibeCongress of tbe United States, to apply tbe principles of the Declaration of Independence to women. “Governments derive tbelr just powers from tbe consent of the governed.” Tbe only forts of consent recognized under a republic Is suffrage. Mere tacit acquiescence U not consent. If it were, every despotism might claim tbat Us power Is justly held. Suffrage Is Ibe right of every adult citizen. Irrespective of sex or color. Women are governed, therefore they are rightfully entitled to vote. * Tb« problem of American statesmanship is, bow to incorporate tn our institutions a guarantee of tbe rtgbtof every Individual. The solution is easy. Base government on the consent of tbe governed, and each class will protect itself. B. F. Wad*, United States Senator, Ohio.
