SHALL IT BE PEACE OR WAR. Eloqaent Review of If ational Issnes8peech by Hon. CD. Drake. The most enthusiastic Republican demonstration, since the opening of the campaign in SL Louis, took place on Tuesday evening, at Mercantile Library Hall. United States Senator Charles D. Drake was the orator of the evening. We make Cth'a 3bll6wingieittiwtiSIrOnJ tbe Democrat's report of his very able speech : fT T ' CLVJ crrrr 5 jig; THE BATTLB NOT KNDKD. Mr Fribxds : For more than seven years our country has been struggling with its enemies; for more than seven yearseither in the halls ' of ' legislation, at the ballot box, in the assemblies of the people, at our homes, in the thoroughfares of business, or on the field of battle, and sometimes in all of them together, the loyal men of the land have watched and labored and fought for their country. Three hundred thousand of tbem, fighting, died the death of patriots, that their co untry and ours might be saved, and its free institutions transmitted to their children .and ours, solid and grand as when founded, and un marred by the sacrilegious blows of a most causless and' atrocious treason. And now, over the graves of those three hundred thousand dead, the straggle is renewed; not with arms, but with votes; yet, still the same. This is tbe one solitary and vivid issue ; Will the people that saved the country rule iiorthall rtbett ami traitor ti t would not affirm that every man who runs with the machine called Democracy is a traitor. I indulge in no such extravagant and vulnerable assertions; but I do assert that if the Democracy succeed in thepehding contest, that machine will be run by traitors for traitorous purposes and that patriotic Democrats of which I suppose there are some will have to run with it, or, be run over Applause. For the Hit thing fen eartbr thatHTi Democracy wants or cares to have in its ranks, is patriotic v men. Patriotism mothers Democracy, as Democracy m others patriotism. The question then is, whether we shall have11" patriotism without Democracy, or Democracy without patriotism ?jlTakrtbafOToJer wth" Gtant, Colfax, the Old Flag, and the Boys in Blue great applause ; take tbe latter with Seymour, Blair," Jeff. Davis, Wade Hampton, Napoleon Butcher For rest, Pirate Se'mmes', and the whole'array of gray backs, with, the New York, gang of rioters, Seymour's "friends" ap

plause as he called them thrown in, to tip tbe music of the brogue for the Democracy's .grand dance over the graves of the three hundred thousand .dead. , .. ,...-, . . ... , ...., ... .. This is no mere flourish, of rhetoric, but plain, sober truth: There is not a man in the United States, knowing any thing of its last thirty years' history, who does not know that the men' who led the rebellion were the very same that led the Democracy about with a ring in its nose for many a year before that. There is itot one such ..who does not know, that through the four "bloody ' years ""of the rebellion, almost the universal heart of the Democracy yearned for the triumph of its Southern ring-leaders over the country 'There is not one such who', does not remember that from the out burst.of the war at Charleston, to its close -at -Appomatox, - the Democracy , howled, Unconstitutional ! Unconstitutional ! over almost every measure taken by a patriot President and Congress, to save the country, and denounced in measureless terms every really effective exercise' of power against the rebellion, when the very life of the nation hung upon its putting forth every power, named or unnamed in the Constitution, to the furthest limit of its largest capacity. There is not a man in the land who does not still: hear j ringing down , the line of years the rebel-Democratic cry, in 1864, at Chicago- Horatio Seymour's cryj too, remember "Four years of failure to restore the Union by ' the experiment of war T' and their and his cowardly and traitorous demand there "that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities;" though all depended at that moment upon pressing the rebellion to extremity, swiftly and finally, , And the whole land still resounds with the rebel yell,' sent up fn Tammany Hall from thousands of Democratic and rebel throata, and repeated from day to day in the South, as it was for years heard by our Boys in Blue from the opposing forces ot Southern Democrats, arrayed, in arms for their country's destruction' The Democratic lines "diverged in 1861

for tfie fight ; but they came ? togetuer ,. again in 1865, when the fight was e vied. Before they diverged it was all Democracy Bow, that they; have -again con-r verged it is rebel- Democracy ; the rebel ahead, Democracy behind, still meekly obeying the rebel ring in its nost,' nd ready to follow it anywhere, only so it lead to -fodder. Applause. CONGRESS DEFENDED. .... After recapitulating the . progress, of reconstruction, Mr. Drake continued : Of. the eleven rebel States, all but three have been reconstructed and re admitted to representation in Congress. In all of there constructed Statesthe ballot was secured to the negro; in Tennessee, by the action of its own people; in the I others through the interposition of Congress. xn au oi cuem ne is enirancuised, as will as free. The race that had been nearly three hundred years, not only disfranchised but brutally enslaved, is now, for the first time, permitted to breathe the air ot freedoid and taste its precious fruits. Thus far Republican principles and the righta of man - have triumphed. How joyous and wonderful a change it was for the negro co white can ever know, for none such was ever a slave. Could every-white man in the country but half comprehend it, there would not be an enemy of negro freedom and .enfranchisement among them. Let us try to get some proper concep tion of it. To be one day a mere chattel slave, and the next an indepeudent freeman ; to be one day voiceless as a dumb dog in tho Government which held him in its iron grip, and the next one of its sovereigns, with a voice potential ; to be one day incompetent to testify in any court in any case in which a white man was concerned, and the next a competent witness in any court for or against any man; to be one day disqualified as a Juror, even in a case where both parties were of his own race, and the next to sit as such in way case, whether whites or blacks were concerned; to one day be incapable of holding property, even so much as a poor straw bed to rest his weary limbs upon, and the next capable of owning a princely plantation if able to acquire it; "to' be nn da.v rfiAft.1ilnl 5 tn cnnl.ra.nt msrriiira I .T. . ... :V . M valid tn law, and liable to have tier called his wife rudely, snatched from his t arms and sold away from him in slavery and perhaps, for uses worse than slavery, and the next to be able to call her his lawful wedded wife, Li in law,' his in morals, bis in God's sight and in men's, his to cleve to and have against all tbe world; to be one day,no lawfully recog' nized father of his children,Knd" the next baye a right to claim, and cherish tbem as his own; to be one day denied the right toleami-even'Ihi a b a's, and! the next to, have, the whole realm of knowledge' opened to him as free as air; this, Americans, is the. mighty change, like rising the dead to life, which was A i fi. J si. f. , j G . . j ,

wrought by the fiat of the American nation, through their Congress," in that long enslaved people, as the final blow to rebellion. Applanse . That, my friends, was the top stone of the fabric of reconstruction reared by your Congress." .One would think' that nowhere in this land, certainly nowhere among the people that fought and conquered the ; rebellion could ' men be found to lay an unfriendly hand upon a workso humane, so just, so true, so Christain like, and so accordant with the vital principles of human rights lying at the foundations of our free institutions. Ask any candid man what one of these principles it violates, and if he knows what human rights mean, he will answer, Not one. Ask him what principle of Republicanism it outrages, and he will answer. Not one. Ask him, again, what moral law it breaks, and he will answer, Not one. Ask him, still again, what precept of Christianity it disregards, and he will answer, Not one. Well, if it is in accordance with human rights, with Republicanism, with morals, and with Christianity, who assails it ? You know that its assailants are found nowhere but in the ranks of the rebel Democracy. . Applause. . You know that the same demoniac spirit which plunged the country into war, animates that party in its ferocious war upon reconstruction. You know it is a spirit of oppression, revolt,'; parricide and bl00d. ;v -- : -.. ; : And thus the question is, whether reconstruction, as accomplished by the loyal people of the nation, shall stand ? Stand? Yes, forever!. Great Applause By all that we know of right, by all that upright men call just, by nil that we hope of good to our country', by all the blood of the three hundred thousand dead, by all the glorious memories of their prowess ' and all the pitying memories of their sufferings, by all the tears sbed upon their graves, by all the wails of the broken-hearted for their loss, it shall stand as the mountains

? stand, fapplausel. and shall tell earth's t people that here, at last, lives a republie that survive.l rebellion the greatest ! the world ever saw; that knew how to establish as well as organize victory; that in the flush of the grandest triumph in the history of war forgot not its humj ble friends, though of another race and color; and that here, too, is a nation that knows the rights of man, and has the manhood and the virtue to protect and uphold them. Applause. But let us get a nearer and more distinct view of the war upon reconstruction. What is its motive ? The answer to this need rest upon no conjecture, no supposition, no deduction. It is given by the rebels and Democrats, North and South, East and West, every day, and every hour. This, at least, may be said in their favor,' that they are bold enough, to avow that their motive springs - from hostility to the enfranchisement of the negro, and that their object is to strike down and exterminate manhood suffrage throughont the reble States. Say what they may on other points in reconstruction, this is the specter that glares upon . them by day and haunts their nightly slumbers, and its name is Retribution ! They see in manhood suffrage death to all their proud and grasping hopes. They know that tho ballot in the hand of the negro is more fatal to their audacious and piratical oligarchy than all the enginery of war. Before it the implements of op -pression are laid down, the devices of cruelty are baffled, the curse of ignorance disappears, and the arrogance and intolerance disappears and savageness of aristocracy are all humbled. With them this is the all-sufficient reason why manhood suffrage should be obliterated; but with me it is just the reason why it should be upheld and made permanent. They may hofl over negro . supremacy, negro governments,' and negro equality I until they are as bUck ia the face as any "nigger" they ever held in slavery, and I have this plain and comprehensive answer to make all the time: Whatever lawful act or thing disarms tyrants, defeats cruelty, dispels ' ignorance, aud breaks down aristocracies of the skin in this great Republic, is of GOD, great applause, and I will uphold it while Gjd gives me life.- And I claim that to be the sentiment of an overwhelming majority of the ; American people this day. Applause. Between it and the rebel seutiment there is not. nor can never be, the least approach to agreement, but enJuriag md relentless con flict till one or the other bites the dust. BLAIR MEANS WAR. Mr. Drake read Frank BUiVs . Broad, head letter, and analyzed its statements at length. He then concluded as follows : : Fellow citizens, I undertook to prove the truth of the thousand times repeated declaration that the election of Seymour and Blair means war; and is it not proved ? I have shown you that long before

tbe rebellion the Southern people were allienated in their affections from the Union; that they were, at last, led to despise and assail it; that the overthrow of their rebellion has left in their hearts only a rancorous spirit of hate and revenge; that they would fly t8 arms again if they saw any fair probability of suc

cess; that, disappointed and defeated in their appeal to the sword, they do not retire from the contest, and leave the country to be governed by its saviors and its friends, but in another way snatch at the reins of power, that they do not pretend to seek power for the country's good, but boldly avow that they would use it to subvert and demolish what the loyal people of the Nation have established; and that we are, therefore, daily walking over subterranean fires, which may burst forth any hour from a hundred- volcanoes, summoning tho Nation again' to put them' out with re-opened streams of its best blood. It were impossible that they who so lately fought through a four years' war for their country, should sleep in the presence of this new danger. They are awake and contesting the ground with their country's enemies, inch by inch, but with a steady and re -sistless advance. From every quarter the thunder of a mighty popular conflict rolls over the land. In the midst of it, two voices ring out upon the air to the furthest verge of the Republic. One caltii, tiioughful, sincere, resolute, speaks these four simple monosylables, "Let trs have Peace !" applause, and straightway from millions of loyal hearts comes back the glad echo, "Let us have peace!'' Great applause. From lisping infancy o decripit age, all can comprehend and offer up that simple prayer, for all know the blessing there is in peace. people ever yearned more for peac3 than the victors in the war which swet with such fierce bla9t over this land. But their dreams of peace have been rudely broken. Another voice is heard, hoarse, heartless, defiant, ferocious, proclaiming war anew, war upon tbe victors, war upon the Constitution, war upon the Union, war upon a weak and harmless race, war upon the freedom tbey have but just gained, war upon the enfranchisement without which that freedom were but mookorv, and in wider field, war upon human rights and liberty ! That is the naked and terrible import of the letter I have discussed before you. .1 boldly say that no man of unbiased judgment can see anything but war in it; unless, indeed, it first appear that the American people, are no longer tbe same, people that subjugated the rebels. -v Show me that, and I will admit that peace may follow the triumph of the rebel Democracy in ; this contest. But if this stalwart people are still ready to grapple with insurgency, in whatever form it appear, and to th rot tie treason choke it to death again, then mnst . war follow the very first attempt to carry tho B! air platform into execution. Great applause. . It would, in the very necessity of things, be impossible then to avoid an appeal to arms. This nation will not stand by and tamely see the power of its Congress defied, its Senate stripped of its constitutional prerogatives and humbled by military force, its laws nullified, its Chief Magistrate grown by usurpation into a Dictator, and its Constitution 'trampled into dust,' without rallying to its rescue. Applause. . And in view of such a peril, it would make not tbe least difference to them that the army and navy were under the control of him who, by the Constitution, is 'taeir Commander-in-ehief.,1 He is such to execute the laws, not to defy them; to guard the Republic, not to subvert it; aud he is sworn to "preserve, protect, and defend " the Constitution," not to overthrow it. When he ventures to employ the forces under his command for purposes hostile,. to the country whose executive power is vested in him, he that moment becomes a usurper and a traitor; und though he had many times army .-nd navy under him that he has, the people would sweep him and! them froir the face of the earth, in much less time Uian it took them to crush the rebellion. Great enthusiasm and ap plause. ", ' Again I say, that the very first step taken to carry out Frank Blair's' programme makes wir a necessity. That first step is to compel the army to disperse the loyal State governments in the South. Would those governments submit to be dispersed ? WouM the peo ple-that formed them submit ? WouM Congress submit ? Would- the Nation" submit ? If not, the conflict must come; and I tall you they would ,not submit. The people would again spring to arms; the rebels would biing out again the quarter million muskets they took home from the camps of-the rebellion and then War ! Could there be any other re8utU ? 18 there any way to escape it ? Yes one : Renounce your manhood 1 abandon all that you have victoriously

detended, lorsske tbe Uld flag, wipe out all your glorious history,, plow up

the graves of your three hundred thousand dead, disgrace American name before the world, and bow your , necks to the rule of rebels and traitors, and you can have peace; but it will be the cold and awful peace of National death I Applause. : . ; . I But, God be praised! there is a shorter and nobler way to peace. It is through that all-powerful weapon in a Republic the ballot. There is our safety in this crisis, as in every other.. That is the repository of the virtue and wisdom and strength of the people.. . It speaks a voice shriller than- the rebel yell, louder than the Democratic howl, more potent than both. Applause. You will hear it on the third i of November, drowning both and proclaiming peace.' Applause. Have no ears of that day. The tidal wave of - the people is coming. It surges Westward and Southward from the green hills of Vermont great enthusiasm, and will heave the wreck of rebeiism- and Democracy over the grand cliffs of the Pacific, to return no more. Great applause. Nota day has passed since the rebel Democracy chose its leaders, that it has not crumbled away. On every hand patriots abandon it to its dreary fate. All that is wanted for the salvation of the country is, that every patriot do his duty. And it will be done. .And-then, with the rebel Democracy cast out, broken and routed; with Seymour and Blair politically entombed beside MeClellan and Pendleton, (great applause), there "to lie in cold obstruction, and to rot; with the Constitution rescued once more from the grasp of rebels and revolutionists; with the Union planted on a broadder and more solid foundation; with liberty enshrined more closely in the hearts of the people, and the rights of man guaranteed more firmly to every human being in the Republic, this great nation may sit down under Grant, the deliverer, to the works, the fruits, and tbe glory of a real and enduring Peace. Great applause and enthusiasm. From the Mihonin;r Register. A Talk Ab cut the Boo ds. Democrat Just wait till Seymour is elected, Mr. Radical, and we'll show you how to settle the bond question. '. We'll pay every dollar of them in greenbacks That 8500 five twenty of yours will have to go with the rest. Republican Pay the bonds in green backs, eh ? Do you think that would be a fair and square way of paying the debt ? D. Of course, and then we should save the interest. R. Will you be kind enough , to tell me what yon think a greenback is ? D. Why, it is a government note, of course. R. Very well. If it is a note, then it promises to pay something. Let us S3e. I hold here a five-dollar note and find it says : "The United States promise to pay the bearer Five Dollars at the Treasury in Washington." Now, what are those five-dollars that the United States agree to pay? Are they not five pieces of paper or five stones or five bits of iron? D. Of course not. R. It is five dollars in gold that the note promises to pay, is it not ? D. No doubt about that, I suppose, but I don't see what you are driving at? - - R Wait a minute and you will. You mentioned my 8500 bond, just now. Let me tell you how I got it. In 1862 I sold some horses to the government. You see my sons" were in the army and I could not do much at farming myself and did not need so much stock. For those ho3es I got five hundred dollars in government notes; that is, the government gave me its note, promising, as you have acknowledged, to pay me in gold. It could not pay the notes but the agreement was that it should pay them as soon as it could. The government said to me and other holders of these notes "We can't pay you now, because we are engaged in a tremendous war, but you may ; exchange the notes for bonds, which we will pay in twenty years, and pay you interest every six months in gold, and we shall claim the right to redeem them in five years if we are able." D. -Yes, but it was not agreed that the principal should be paid in gold. R I beff vour narJon hut it agreed. True the law did not say so explicitly, but neither had any previous loan law said anything aboutgold, and yet every dollar the government ever borrowed was paid, in gold." " Three Secretaries of the Treasury "published letters stating that Jay Cooke, the financial agent advertised that they were, and everybody that bought a bond distinctly understood that to be a bargain. ' ; D! Can't help that. We are not bound by, what Chase, or Fessenden or Jay Cooke said. ,lMiti

R Yes you are. It is one of the oldest principles of common law that , the principal is bound by the acts of his agent. The people of the United States , were the principals and the Secretary of tbe Treasury was their regular authorized agent. . , ; D. But the agent did not go accord ing to law when he agreed that the bonds should be paid in gold. , r - 'R- If he was disregarding . the law,why did not, Congress, the law , making power, which was then in session, pass an act to restrain him'?. ' They did nothing of the kind, and no one dreamed that the bonds were payable in anything else but gold until Pendleton started his doctrine a j'ear ago. But let us go back to my own case. I exchanged five hundred dollars for promissary notes, payable ia gold as you have acknowledged, for a' bond. Now, you say Seymour and your ; party propose not to pay me the bond, but to make me give it up and take notes for it. D. Yes, that's the doctrine. Green; backs are good enough for the bondholders. tl. R. Rut after you have taken my bond from me and me take a note, you will of course pay interest on the note ? D. -Nonsense ! It is to stop the interest that we propose to pay the bonds in greenbacks. Then you propose that the government shall pay me no interest on what it owes me. When do you expect it will pay these notes ? t D.l don't know as they should ever be paid.. Keep them in circulation, I say. ... , :., . .,.1.,,J . - v R. Oh ! now I begin to see through your seheme. ., You don't propose that tbe government shail pay either interest or principal of what it owes. The government takes my, property and gives me its note for it. It says it can't pay the note, but will give me a bond drawing interest. You propose to take away the bond and give me back the note, and when I mention the interest you say you will pay none and when I ask for the principal you declare you don't intend; to pay that either. You may call this honesty and fair dealing, but it looks to me mightily like rascality. D. Can't stop to talk any longer. I am in a hurry. , R Hold on a moment, friend. Here is neighbor Jones who says you hold a mortgage on his place for five hundred dollars. What is honest for government is of course honest between man and man. Mr. Jones says he would like to have you give np the mortgage and take his note payable when he gets ready to pay it and drawing no interest This is what you said the government was going to do by me, you know. D- Can't stop. Must go down the street to see a man. R Sorry you are in such a hurry. Come around again. I want to talk with you about where you are going to get the greenbacks from to pay the debt with?

My complaint, as you may remember, was Liver Disease in itn worst form.

I immediate!? 3p( Tel to Mr. M. for a box of bis Life Compound sad" coBumenced taking it. r I eommeH;ed improving in a few days and continued to improve, and in less '.Lin three months from that time was en tirely restored, and have remained well ever since. Mine was rather an inveterate ease, and pronounced so by all the physician of this city. The medicine was so successful in my case, that I cannot refrain from adding my testimony in -its favor. , .. Hundreds of Testimonials like the foregoing are in my possessioa, and cannot be given for -want of space.. The "life Compound-is the cheapest medicine in the world. One package of it will make a quart of 3yrup, which ia enough to last more than two mouths. The pries is $2 00 a package. Inclose $2 00 in a letter and direct it to , me, and by return maQ I will send you a pack age of the Compound, postage prepaid by me. If you are sick you will find it just the thing yon have been looking fcr, ! and you never will regret having sent fcr it. 1 owj-7'rr , I always send the Compound well sealed up. so that no one can tell what it is.
