SERMON. p U>3a the Ballot-Bo* lleotioo Fr*aoii«J.

; Upon the CIUl Should he Used tea the Head et ";/i |. ' Re*. T. DeWiU Talma**, (a a» anteelection sermon at the Brooklyn TabernaoH took for hi* subject “Tae Ballot* B >x and the Hloctlou Franchise.” HI* ; lex* was: * Ten molls and a halt waa the length ot It, aadj mbit and a half the breadth of it. and a culm aad a half (he height of lt-Kxodaa uitlL. I , Look at It—the cacred chest of the an* , cleat*. It was al«oul flee feet long, three feet wide aad three feet high. It was within and out of pure gold. On the top of U stood two angels facing each other, with outspread wings. In that sacred box was the law. and there were in it a grant nxhny precious stone* With that box ' .it the fate of the nation. Carried in front of the host, the waters of the ^Jordan parted. Divinely charged, costly, precious, moin-uton* boa No unholy Lands might lair hold of it. It was called • the ark of the coven set. Bat yon will understand It *m a boa the most precious box of the ages. Where U it now? Gone forever. Not A crypt of church or museum of the worhf has a fragment of It/ X Hut Is not thii Nit ion God's Chbiee people? Have w« not pasted thronjh the Red Sea? Have we not been led by a pll* Inr of Hr* by nlghtf Ha* this Nation no ark ot the covenant? Ye* the Uallol* baa the sacred chest of the Nation, the ark of the American covenant. In it U the law. In it ts the Divine and tha human law, In it is the fade of the Nation. Carried in front of oar host again and again. Mighty ark of the covenant, the American ballot-box! It is a Very old box. ’ _lu.-AUttQs, long before the art of print". iug, the peojitr&ffppcd pebbles ‘fito it to give expression to th»tr-S*stlm -at. After that beans were dropped into it—a white bean for the affirmative, a black beau for the negative. After thla, whan they wished to vote a man but of citisenship, they would writs his nam# upon a shell and drop that Into ths box. O’Connell, and Urote. and Cohden. and Macaulay, and Gladstone fought great battles in >h« introduction of the ballotboxes tn England, and to-day it is one of the fastness** of that nhtiou. It Is one of the corner-slope* of our Governm-nt It is older Inau the Constitution. It Is our National satety. Tell me what will be the fata of the American ballot-box, the ark of the American covenant, and I will tell yon what will be the fate of this Nation. Give the people, once a year or | once in four years, an opportunity to cjx- I press llieh poll it i a! sentiment*, and yuu practically avoid Insurrection and revolution. Kither give them the ballot or they Will take the sword. Without the ballot-box there can be no free republican Institutions. Milton, visiting in Italy, noticed that on the sides of Vesuvius gardeners and farmers were at work while the vol. oauo wasjii eruption, and he asked them If they were safe. ^“Yes, ” said the farmers and the gardeners, “it is safet all the danger ts before the eruption t lh*n comes earthquake and terror, but last as soon as the volcano login* to pour forth lava we all feel[at rest.” It Is the snppress km of |iolttlcal sentiment, the sup* press ion of pnblin opinion, that makes moral earthqqake and national earthquake. Let pnbllc opinion jiottr forth, and that gives satisfaction, and that gives peace, and that gives permanency to good government. And vet, though the ballotbox Is the sacred chest and the ark of the American covenant, yon know as well as 1 know U has Its sworn antagonists, and I propose this morning, in God’s name and as a Christian patriot, to set before yon the names of some ot the (worn enemies of this sacred chest, the ark of the American covenant, the ballot-box. First, I remark, Ignorance 1* a mighty foe. Other things being equal, the more intelligence a man ha* the better he Is qjialUted to exercise th» right of suffrage. Yon have been ten. Bft-en, twenty, thirty years studying American Institutions; yon have canvassed all the great questions about tariff and home rule and all the educational qustttons, and" every thing in American politics yon are well acquainted with. Yon consider yourself competent to cast a vote In November, and you are competent. You will take your position In the line of electors, you will wait for your torn to come, ihe judge of electlou will announce your name, you will east your vote and pass out. Well dons.

Rut right b«ltin<l you there will come a man who can not spell the name of comptroler or attorney or mayor. He can not Write, or if he own write he use* a email **tw for the personal pronoun. He coaid not toll on which aide of the Allegheny mountain* Ohio is. Educated canary birds, educated horses, know more than be. He will cast hi* vote, and it will baiWire your rote His ignorance is as mighty as your intelligence. That is not right. All men of fair mind will acknowledge that that is uot right Until a man can read the Declaration of independence and the Constitution of the United States, and calculate the Interest on the American debt and know the difference between a republican form of government and a monarchy, or a despotisom. be is unlit to exercise the right of suffrage at any ballot-box between Key West and Alaska i 1* ll*TS in England there were « «».<*» children who ought to hare been in schools. There were 1.333,00:)—in other words, abont flfty per cent—and of the fifty per cent, not more than Are per cent got any thing worthy the name of an education. Now. take that foreign ignorance and ad I it to our American ignorance, and there will be in November thousands and thousands of people who are no mom qualified to exercise the right of suffrage than to lecture on astronomy. How are these things to be corrected? By laws of compulsory education well executed. I go in for a law which, after giving fair warning for a few years, shall make ignorance a crime. There la no excuse for ignorance on these subjects in this land, where the common schools make knowledge as free as the fresh air of Heaven. 1 would havo a hoard of examination seated beside the ’officer* of registration, and let them decide whether the men who come up to rota have any capacity to be monarchs in • land where we arc all monarchs. One of the most awful foes of the American ballot-box to-day is popular ignorance. Educate the people, give them an opportunity to know and understand what they do. If they will not take the education. deny them the vote. Another powerful enemy of this sacred cheat,, the ark of the American covenant, the ballot-box, U spurious voting. In IM, in Brooklyn, there were a thousand names recorded of persons who had no residence here, and if there were a thou • •and attempted fraudulent voles in the beat city on the continent, what may Wo expect in cities not so fortunate? What a grand thing is the law of registration. Without it elections In this country would he n three. There most be n scrutiny on this subject. The law most have keenAt twist for the neck of repeaters. Something more than slight and short imMfMnmeot. It is an attempt at the asf »\ua.lon of the Republic when a man attempts to pat in n spurious veto. In olden times when men laid unholy hands •a the ark of the covenant they dropped dowfi deed., Witness Uixab. And when

right to ash an* hU work Wi»l kOOtr as well on tftnt Sacred covenant, ; corporals Or monopolistic. I do not wonder ah Lord Chief-Justlei rohen'.'mce of olt of Eigland when he s ihl< “'Let the people vot> fair* ly- Interference wit a a men’* *ote is in behalf of thla or notice that it an that o5party.

God and Ills jtfvfii dodscieno*

un obit uieuKorv Another powerful Ms of that Sacred cheht, ihe ark of the AmefrleaU Cttli reliant, the ballot-box. I? bribery. Yota kCni someth in? of Ihe hundred! of I'nousaudi of dollars that. 4ll>ended to carry I-plintA in 1*$X You know something o| the vast aemi of money Oipended In Brooklyn and New V ork In other years to carry elections. Bribery is one of the disgraces of this country. And there will' be Mote money used in bribery this UiitUihu’s election than In an? previous election. It ie often the Case that a man is nominates Mr oMe-< with reference to Hi* capacitytff provide ihoaex.f?!L-!liejflecttoa», or with reference- 1<> his capacity to command ViVonoy from others. You know the names of men who hare at different times gone into the gubernatorial Chair Or Congressional nfltcv, buying their war all through. I toll you no news. Ynilr. patriotic heart has been pained again and again with It Very often it is not mo ney that bribes, but it is office. “You make me Presi-d-at.an t I’ll make you a Cabinet offleert you make mo (iorernor.dnd 1*11 make you Surroror-tteneralt you make.m > niaroih nnd 1*11 put you on Ihe wa'Or board; you give mo position, and 1*11 giro you po»l.lion.** That is the form of bribe of tea and often in these greM citiee. I do nCt any it is tuour city, but ywn itnow again and again throughout the lied these have been the forme Of bribe offered. So it is often the Case that by the time a man comes to an office to which he has been elected he is from the crown of bead to the Sole of foot mortgaged with pledges, and the Plan who goes to Albany ok to Washington to get an office Is applying for some position which woe giten array three months b->-foke the elect Ion. Two long linos of worm fence, oue worm fence reaching to Al - bany and the other to Washington, and there a great many eitinenU astride the fence, and they are equally poised, and they are waiting to see on which aide there is moat emolument, nnd on this ►Ith they get down, Bat bribery kicks both ways. It kicks the man that offers It and the man that takes it. Bribery today vou will admit to be one of the mightiest foes of the American ballotbox. Another gfeat enemy of .that sacred chest u defamation of character. Can you Sod out from tlie newspapers, when two tnen nr* ruontug for office, which is the best? How often in the autumnal elections the good man is denouue >d and the bad tmin applauded, so that yon Can come sometimes to no jU<t opinion ns to %ho Is the best man, nnd there arc hundreds and thousands of electors who go Up to vote so utterly befogged tliey know not what they do. Is not that a fearful trflueuce to be brought upon the ballotbox of this country? It has boon so ever since the foundation .of this UorernmenL Defamation of character. Thomas Palae writes Washington a letter and publishes it, saying: “Treacherous In nil prfrato friendship and a hypocrite in public morals, the world will be puxxled to know whether wo had better cnii you an apostate or an Imposter, and whether yon abandoned good morals or never had any.** That is Thomas Paine’s opinion of Osorge Washington. John Quincy Adams declared that he was solaced in regard to the scandals and the anathemas inflicted upon him by the foot that his father, John Adams, had to go through the same process, and John Qu acy Adams declared that ho really thought ia that present election there were mea who gave their entire time to mnnafiicturiag falsehood in regard to him. Martin Van Boren was alwavs pictorialix'd ai a rat Thomas H. Benton and Amos Kendall arere always plctoralixed am robbers with battering rams, breaking in the doom of the United States

Mans. On the day on which Thomas Jelt.-rson was Inaugurated President of lh« United States. March 4, 1S>I, the following apl>eared in the Mw.'l of Boston: ‘•Monumental inscription. Yesterday expired, deeply regretted by millions of grateful Americans and by all good men. the Federal administration of the florernmeut of the United States, animated by Washington. Adams, Hamilton. Knox. Pickering. McHenry. Marshall: and Stoddard, aged twelve years, its death was occasioned by the secret arts and open violence of foreign and domestic demagogues. As one tribute of granilude in these times, this monument to the talents and services of the deceased ts raised by the .SVatinef.* Under such defamation a%. that Thomas Jefferson went into office. My father told me that when Andrew Jackson was running for President of the United States the whole land was flooded with eiffli handbills—pictures of six dean roes, in allusion to the six deserters whom Andrew Jackson bad bad shot, and all the pictorials of hose times represented Jackson as taking his office from the band of the devil. I saw at Pnt-ih-ftay. O., in a museum, a prominent paper of 1H which spoke of Henry Clay as a trembler, a libertine and a murderer; aud tile manner in which he was defamed ami the outrages which were heaped ■ upon him may b) well, guessed front Mr. Clay’s eulogy of his natiTe State, Kentucky, lie said: “When I seemed to be assailed by all the rest of the world! She Interposed her broad nnd impenetrable shield, re pc led the poisoned shat is that were aimed for my destruction, arid vindicated my good name from every malignant and unfounded aspersion.” Datamation! It te the curse of the American ballot-box. Just as coon as in the great cities a man is pat up for office be U made the target The fact be is up is prima ; facie evidence that be must be brought down. His public life and his private life are scrutinised, and all the elt ctric lights are turned on. How often it te that mem have gone down under such things.

That ahk of the covenant u;as harried into captivity tn Klrjsth-jeiirm, but ou.e day the people hooked ox >n to i> cart, and they put this ark on the cart, imd the cart was taken to Jerusalem—the utk of the covenant coming with the shouting anti thanksgiving of the people. And though the American ballot-box, the ark of the American covenant, our sa ifed chest, has been carried again and again into captivity by fraud and iniquity, and spurious voting, I believe it will bo brought back yet by prayer aud by Christian Consecration, aud will tie set down.In the midst of the temple of Christian patriotism. Whose responsibility? Tours aud mine. 1 charge you, then, as American eitixens to remember your responsibility on the first Tuesday iu November. It will begin early, the snowstorm of suffrages. It will snow all day—snow on until uoon, snow on until night. The flakes will fall In every town an l village and neighborhood, the white Tlokes. The octogenarian will come up hli hand trembling, aud with spectacled eye he will scrutinise the vote ami dro ' it find pass on. Tuo capitalist will co n o up with bedlam ><led fl i - ger aud the laborer with hard fist, and the one vote will be as gotod as the other. Snowflakes will lie gathered1 together and compacted luto an avalanche that will slide down tn expression of the will of the people. Stard out of the way of it! In the awful sweep of this white avalanche let political fraud go down a thousand feel under. You have not only a vote—you have a prayer. The pruver may bo mightier than the vote. Oi, as cltiia*ns of this beautiful city, and of this State, and of this Nation, let n i do our whofe duty. Wd can not live under nny other form of government than tint which God has given ns in this countrr. The stars on onr flag are not the etarn of a thickening night, bat the stars sprinkled amid the bars of morning clouds. We arc going to have one government >n this entire continent. Let the despoilims of Asia keep their feet off the Pacific Coast, and let Ihe lcrannies of Europe keep their feet off t he Atlantic coast Wc are going to hare one government Mexico will follow Texas into the Union, aud Christianity and civilisation will stand side by side in the halls of the N ontcxiunas. And if not in onr day. then m the day of onr children. Yucatan and Central America will come in dominion, while on the north Canada wf;ll be oars not by conquest—oh, no. American and English swords may never clash blades—bnt we will woo onr fair neighbor of the north, and then Euglaid will say to Canada: “Yon are old enough for the marriage day,” and then, turning, will say: “Giant of the W est, go cake your bride.” And then from Baffin 'a Bay to. the Caribbean there will be one government under one flag, with one destiny—a free, undisputed, Christian ised American continent. God save the City of Brooklyn! God save the Commonwealth of New York! God save the Union!
