See fourth resolution of Tammany platform.

AN election falls due in Nebraska on the 6th of October. Some of the Democratic papers have inserted the name of that young State along with that of Kentucky, as having already declared for their side. The local elections in Nebraska last year, the latest held, resulted in large Bepublican gains in nearly every county. The vote had previously been close.

GOVEBNOB CUBTIN thinks that Pennsylvania will give GBANT a heavier majority than was ever before cast for a President, and that SEYMOUR will no: get a single Northern State if the tide keeps on rising. He believes the vote of Vermont will be the key«note of the final result.

SENATOR HENDERSON spoke on Monday at Macon, Missouri. The St, LOUIB Republican says his speech was a violent assault upon the St. Louis Democrat and upon those Radicals who denounced his course. The latter paper says if Mr. HENDEBSON fancies that. the people of Missouri are going to leave the Presidency, the election of Congressmen, the choice of Qovernor and State officers, and devote their attention to a consideration of the personal record of JOHN B. HENDERSON, he is considerably mistaken.

THE Daily Pantagraph, of Blooming, ton, Ills., reaches us in a greatly im proved form, and under new business and editorial management. It has been purchased by a company, at the head of which are Hon. JESSE "W. FELL and Dr £. BOB, two of the most earnest and public-spirited Bepublicans in that county. It is issued as a morning paper, gives the latest telegraph news, and has every appearance of success, all of which we are glad to note, and trust it may long continue its present career of usefulness and prosperity.

THE bondholders' demonstration tomorrow night is to be gotten up regardless of expense. A few thousand dollars is nothing to men who pay no taxes and who live off the labor of others.—Journal.

The above is a sample of tho idiotic flings which daily illuminate tbe columns of the Journal. That papor would make it appear that the Bepublicans "pay no taxes.'' Now we assert that three-fourtbs of the amount of National, State and county taxes collected In this city are paid by Bepublicans. We challenge the Journal to disprove this assertion. If it is willing to go into an examination of official documents to ascertain the amount of taxes paid by each party, we will submit the question to a committee fairly chosen and will pay our proportion of the expense incurred in such an investigation. Will you do it

THE St. Louis Democrat positively asserts that Kentucky is shipping arms into Missouri and veters into Indiana.

The immense secret organization of which we have been told, is strong in Kcntockj, and Governor BBAMLBTTE is— not at the tail—of it Ti^pugh that organization this shipment of guns and voters is being vigorously pushed. We warn oar friends to look oat for these scoundrels. It is no idle caution. Kentacky has a plenty of Ku-Klux voters to spare. Indiana has many localities where Bepublicans are not as strong as they should be and perhaps not as vigilant. At any rate, we believe the assertion of the Democrat that the attempt is being made to invade this State with Kentucky ballots instead of Kentucky bullets, and, if the raid is not promptly met, it will do more harm than ever JOHN MOBGAN did north of the Ohio.

SPEECH OF SENATOR MORTON

AT THK REPUBLICAN MASS XKKTIfffl "11* CEJTTREVTILK SEPT. 9TH.

Fellow Citizens: I have spoken in this room a great many times in my life, but nevor had to speak from a chair before. I did not come to Centrevillo to take any part tho proceedings of to-day I came ovor on a visit to my friends, to the old homo stead but I am glad to be here on such an occasion, and only regret that we have a bad day, which will in a great degree destroy the character and usefulness of the meeting.

We are approaching an election whieb, if one election can be said to be more important than another, will be perhaps the most important election ever held in this country. Tbe election held in 1864, for President, was to determine the question whether the war should be prosecuted to a successful termination—to the putting down .of the rebellion and the maintenance of the Government. It was determined at that time by the people that the war should be prosecuted and tbe rebellion put dowo. Indiana decided in that way by more than twenty thousand majority, and such was the decision of an overwhelming majority of the people in the North. The war was prosecuted to a successful conclusion, the rebellion was subdued at a fearlul expense of blood and treasure. This old county of Wayne contributed its full share to that result. Many of the young men who went into the army from Wayne county laid down their lives upon the field of battle or in the hospital others returned, maimed or diseased for life. Wayne county paid a fearful price for the suppression of the rebellion. And as did Wayne county, so did other counties in Indiana, and all through the Northern States. After the rebellion was suppressed, the next business of the country was to reconstruct the rebel States and restore them to harmonious relations with the Government of the United States—to bring back the country to the condition it was in, in point of government, before the war. As soon as the rebellion was over, Mr. Lincoln having been assassinated, and Mr. Johnson being President, he promulgated his plan of reconstruction. 'He had no authority in himself to undertake that work, but he untertook it upon the express declaration that whatever he did was provisional in its character, and was to be submitted to Congress for its final revision and action. This part of his un« dertaking was violated. He undertook to do the whole work himself and not only so, but the execution of it was p]a?.ed in the hands of rebels, and the new State Governments which he erected in the South were put into the hands of the rebels and not into the hands of Union men. His policy of reconstruction was a failure and not only was it a failure, but it was a betrayal of the cause, and a betrayal of the Union men in the South as well as in the North. Congress, however, waited for some time before it made any effort to counteract this policy. It met in the month of December, 1865, but took no final'action in relation to the matter for some months afterward, waiting to see what would be the result, with a willingness to give the policy of Mr. Johnson a fair trial, to reform it, if possible, in some of itB features, and if it promised to be successful in accomplishing the work of reconstruction, to receive it. But it was vain it could not be reformed it grew worse and worse, and failed to accomplish any great purpose that would contribute to the peace and security of the republic, and the protection of the Union men in tbe Soutb, while and black. It became incumbent upon Congress to put forth some plan of reconstruc-

tioD,and,accordingly,ttae

amendment tothe

Constitution, called the 14th article, was presented to the people, North and South for their adoption, as a basis of settlement and reconstruction. It was not only mild and conservative,but it demanded far less than the people of the North had aright to demand and than it was their duty to demand for their own safety and h?nor, and for the honor of the Union soldiers who fought to maintain the government. Yet it was contemptuously rei jected. It was not ratified by a single State in the Soutb, but rejected by all. This mild, conservative and magnanimous proposal was spurned by tbe rebel States, and therefore it became necessary to resort to some other plan of reconstruction, and at last in 1867, at the close of the thirty-ninth Congress, the present system of reconstruction was adopted, and it has been carried out into successful operation in all of tbe rebel States but three, Texas, Mississippi and Virginia. Now, the question is presented at this election whether this system ofj reconstruction shallbe maintained 8»i carried eut completely in all its parts: whether we shall give protection to the Union men of the Soutb, both whito and black whether we will have peace, iu other words, and whether we are going to have our difficulties settled up at some time or whether we propose to have war become the normal condition of this country,as it is in Mexico,and some of the provinces and countries of Italy and the old world whether the peace and prosperity of the country shall once moro be restored and our people permitted to engage permanently in peaceful pursuits, or whether war and factions shall bMome the chronic condition of tne ^country.

When a lawyer submits a "case to a jury, his first duty is to slate clearly the issue to be tried, the precise thing to be decided, and it is tbe duty of every speaker to endeavor to clearly state to the peoplejthe exact thing to be decided by this election.

By the election of General Grant, we determine in favor of maintaining this system of reconstruction and carrying it out to final success: in favor of protecting the Union men of tne South, white and black in favor of equal rights, of equal and exact justice to all men in favor of maintaining the public faith of tbe nationby the payment of the national debt "according to the law as well as the spirit of the ccntract," in the language of tbe Chicago platform.

By the election of Mr. Seymour, we determine just the opposite of all these things—that the new State Governments recently organized in the South shall be overturned we determine in favor of a new revolution, in favor of undoing ail that nas been done we determine in favor of making war and revolution the chronic condition of affairs ni this country we determine that we shall have not a united people, but a people forever warring among themselves, which will certainly result in their final destruction.

This is the exact issue that is submitted, and I submit it to Democrats as well as Republicans, they having an equal interest in the country, just as mach interest in peace as we nave, just as much inierest in having a united and strong* Retpublic as we have and I say to them that this is the true question that is to be decided.

Now what is the New York platform, upon which Mr. Seymour and General Blair stand as candidates? It declares that those reconstruction laws are revo

lutionary, unconstitutional and void jr*ve y°u considered what is the full effect and purport of that language? If these acta

Are

8^t

revolutionary, unconst itu-

tionaL, and void, nobody is bound to obey .m*, it is the right of every man to ru-

them that is to say, he would go free ol punishment finally. That is what they inculcate, as the result of a law that is unconstitutional and void, and therefore, if those new State governments that have been created in the South are of no validity, the people are not bound to yield them obedience—not bound to stand by them. The colored men, whose rights are protected by them, thereby obtain no protection and security. That is the de claration of the New York platform. It involues war in itself. It gives the people of the South to understand that these reconstruction laws are unconstitutional, that these governments shall notbemains tained, but overturned, and that the con trol of all the rebel States shall be restor ed to the rebelB themselves: in other words, it is the loss of all that we have done. The men that Wayne county has lost in this rebellion have been lost in vian The five thousand millions of dollars we have expended to put down the rebellion have been expended in vain. If this thing comns about, all is lost. It were ten thousand times better, that we had let these States go in the beginning, and said, as Democratic leaders have said heretofore: Let them go in peace: let the Union be destroyed and a new confederacy erected, the chief corner-stone of which is slavery.

Wo have gone through the war, sufferedits losses, its fearful waste of treasure millions of households have been made sad millions of hearts have been made to bleed and we have accomplished much, but we are now in a position to loose it all if we shall fall in this election.

But there is a still more signicant declaration than the New York platform, although that conveys all I have said, and means more-than I can tell you—the declaration of Mr. Blair, the candidate of the Democratic party for Vice President. On the Sunday before the Convention met, he wrote a letter to Colone Broaihead which was published and pla* ed in the hands of every delegste to that Convention. In that letter he declares that these reconstruction acts are null and void, these new State governments illegal and unauthorized and went on to tell how we should get ria of them. He said, you can not change the character of the Senate of the United States under four years. That was true. They might elect a new Houso of Bepresentatives, but could not change the Senate and therefore they could not repeal those laws. How was he going to get clear of them? By nullification, He said the President must trample those laws into the dust: and by the power of the army of the United States must overturn *hat called the "Green-backed he governments" of tbe Southern States. He said, want t© go before the Convention upon this policy, and upon no other. This is the only issue. All questions of finance, of tariff, all questions of currency are to be kept out of for there is but one great question, and that is the question of overturning this policy established by Congress, destroying these new State governments that have been called into existence, and placing the power back into the hands of the rebels—the men whom it had cost us so much blood and treasure to conquer. General Blair went before the Convention on that letter he was nominated on the first ballot, and unanimously. He was placed in nomination by a rebel General from Kentucky, General Preston, and his nomination was seconded by Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, and tbe overwhelming rebel sentiment of that convention caused his nomination to be made unanimously and enthusiastically. This letter of General Blair is the true platform of the Democratic party, upon which it stands to-day. It is the same, in substance, with their resolutions, but it is more cloar, more definite, and more tangible to the public understanding.

Consider, for one moment, what are the elements that compose the Democratic party. A great party, like a man. has a constitution—an organism, from which it can not get away, which must control its action, just as a man's constitution, bis temperament controls kis action. We cannot get away from our nature, neither can we get away from its constituent elements and from that constitution which it ha3 from the character of the men who control it.

Who are the men that compose the Democratic party? In the first place, who are the men that compose that party in the North They are the men who opposed the war—who opposed the putting down of the rebellion. They are the men whose sympathies were with the South in this struggle many of them going farther than mere sympathy, and giving actual aid and comfort to the enemy but not all. I believe that many of the rank and file of that party thought they were right. I believe that the great mass of the people of all parties are honest at heart but we judge all men by their actions, and hold them responsible for what they do. When we proposed, during the war, to borrow money for the purpose of putting down the rebellion, we were told by Democratic politicians in Indiana, in Wayne county and everywhere else, that the Government had no right to issue greenbacks or legal tender notes that the law authorizing the issue of bonds was unconstitutional that the people should not lend their money to the Government or as a Democratic orator said at Indianapolis, that tbey had better go and throw their money into White river than to invest it in the purchase of Government bonds that they would never get it back. But, after doing all they could to destroy the confidence of the people in the Government and to prejudice them against the prosecution of the war, still the people lent their money to the Government, their sons went into the army, the war was fought out and tbe rebellion put down.

Who compose the Southern wing of the Democratic party They are the actual rebels. Who are the Democratic leaders in the South Who are the men who went to New York and took part in the convention that nominated Seymour and Blair? They were the rebel G«neralswho commanded the armies, the men who were members of tbe rebel Congress, first at Montgomery, then at Richmond. They were tbe rebel Governors ot States. They were the men who went to England, and to France »nd Austria to engage foreign assistance to get them to interfere in behalf of the rebels, to induce them to advance money upon Confederate bonds or cotton bonds. General Hampton, one of the boldest of the Southern leaders, says it was at his instance that the declaration was put into the platform of that convention, that the reconstruction laws were null and void—that it was at his instance that the most objectionable and terrible part of that platform was made.

These are the .men who compose the Democratic party,' North and Sooth and as the character of the men, so will be the character of their action. It necesearQv revolts. tw*

Now, upon the subject of the payment of the national debt. If you believe that the Democratic party, if it is put into power, can pay that debt you are mista ken It would be a moral impossibility Place that party in power, and repudiation is an inevitable result. I do not care what their platform may say, or what declarations politicians may make tbat is the result that must certainly follow. Why In the first place tho great body of tbat party are men who were unfriendly to that debt when it occurred they do not own it they did not lend their money to the Government and they are constantly opposed to paying taxes in order to pay the interest on the national debt. Therefore, the Democratic party in the North would be opposed to the payment of the national debt.

But now we come to what is in fact the controlling element of the Democratic party, which is to be found in the Southern States, as it was in thedavs of yore.

If the Democratic party were placed injower, do you suppose the rebels placed in power bythem would ever vote to tax themselves, in common with all the people to pay the interest on our debt Is there any ruan stupid oncugh to believe they would do it? They put their money into Confederate stocks—into Confederate bcnis—and they lost it all. Their feeiinga are as bitter towards us to-day as ev^r they were, and if you place them in power, would they tax themselves to pay the interest on your debt, or the principal either? Never. And in that respect the Democratic party of the North would go with them, because it would be in accordance with their feelings and with their action daring the entire waT: in accordance with all their public manifestos and professions. Therefore, if

YOU

place that party in power, repudiation is the inevitable result, because the party, through the elements that compose it, morally speak ing, could not pay the debt. These rebels would never consent to pay one cent of taxes to pay tbe interest upon our debt, except upon the condition thaL we assume their debt. If we consented to pay their debt the result would still be repudiation, because it would make the national debt so large that it could not be paid.

If there is a soldier here to-day who fought to put down this rebellion,and who is inclined to vole the Democratic ticket, let me ask, with all due respect, if he is not just now in very strange company. Who were the honored members of the New York Convention Who received the most attention there Who got the floor Who were feted and dinnered and wined by the leadiog Democrats of the ity of New York? Were they the Union soldiers Not ono of them. It was Gen. Forrest, Wade Hampton and the Southern soldiers who were favorites, and who controlled the action of the eon-* vention.

Now, let me suppose that the Democratic party is placed in power, and that there are rebels in the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Cabinet, and so on, and suppose that it is then proposed to levy a tax, or make an appropriation, to pay the pensions of wounded, maimed soldiers, or to tho widows and orphans of those who have died, would the rebels ever consent t« tax themselves or make im appropriation to pay the pensions of Northern soldiers unless theirs are provided for also That would be contrary to human nature. They would insist that the rebel soldiers should stand upon tho same level, upon the same platform with the Union soldiers, or no appropriation would be made. It would be contrary to the first principles of human nature, that those men should consent to tax themselves and the whole country, to pay the pensions of Union soldiers, while their own comrades in arms, maimed for life, and the widows and orphans of those who had fallen in the Confederate service were living in poverty and unprovided for.— Consequently, the necessary result of the triumph of the Democratic party will be to place the rebel soldier upon the same platform with the Union soldier and when he gets there he will not be nn equal simply he will become the superior, under the domination of the Demo, cratic party. I do not understand how a Unioa soldier can consent to become the associate in politics with the mass of the rebel soldiers. I do not understand how he can consent to rally under the same banner of that party which is sustained by the rebels of the South, and by those men in the North who did not "sympathize with him during the war, but who sympathized with those against whom he was fighting. The Union soldier is, therefore, out of place in the ranks of the Democratic party. And I tell him another thing tbat these men do not love him, and they never will. They will flatter him for the sake of of his vo.te, and they mav even, for the time being, consent to let him an office as they do for Frank Blair, because he has promised, if he is elected, to give them all they want but they do not love the soldier, nor respect hicu and they will respect him far less if he goes in with tliem and votes the Democratic ticket, than if lit* stands up boldly in defense of the principles for which he fought

We all have a duty lo perform, and 1 would appeal especially to the soldiers.— They went to the field left families and friends they left homes and comfort and pleasure. They went to the field and risked everything. What did they do it for They did not do it for a mere spree, or for considerations of little value but they were fighting for the preservation of the Republic, and for certain great principles.

If those things were worth fighting for they are worth preserving. It would be the very extremity of folly lo go to tbe field and come home, and in time of peace, yield them all up atjttae polls.— Therefore, if yoa went to the field to fight for a good cause, stand up for tbat cause when you come home. The work is not done. You are now in that peculiar condition where all you have struggled for for the last eight years will be lost by the loss of an election. The work will not be done until these Southern States are not only reconstructed, but the new State governments recently set up in the South are firmly established upon a loyal basis. When that is done then your work is done. But we are now only in the third stage of that process. We have asjumed the power to reconstruct those governments, and now we must stand by them. The Constitution of tne United States says that the United States shall guarantee to every State a republican form of government. Under that power we have set these governments up and if we have a right to set them up—to provide the means of their creation—we have equally the power to protect them until they can protect themselves. It follows as a necessary consequence. Therefore, 1 insist that we have tks power now, in regard to these governments thai hare been reconstructed. We have power to protect them and to take care of them, and to punish those who would destroy ihem, as much as we had to set them up.

We are now realising the great mistake we made by failing to punish tho leading rebels at the-clese of the war.— The very men who are now stirring up gem {Snfi-Xf

rebellion in the Sooth, and would bring back upon us all the horrors and atrocities of another war, are the very men* who were chiefly instrumental in bringing about the rebellion and they are the 'P men who, at tho end of the war, ought to have been tried and punished. And il wo had a President who was faithful to us, and who would carry out the will of the people, 1, for one, would be ex* tremely anxious that Congress should meet sometime in this month of September, and take such measures as that tbe writ of habeas corpus could be again suspended, and these men arrested and brought to punishmeat. But as we have

Tne South is now in an unfortunate and dangerous condition. I think the more so since tbe conclusion of the war. The olicy down there, so far as the white iepublioans are concerned—white Radicals or Union men—is to compel them lo succumb or leave the country. The rebels intend to drive out, if possible, overy Union white man in the rebel States, or compel them to support the Democratic party or, in other words, to become rebels at this late hour. How do they propose to do it? First, by terror—by rendering the life of every Union white man unsafe by refusing to give him the protection of the laws, by refusing to give him the protection of the bench in the court house, and of the jury box, by assassinations through the organization call^ ed the Ku Klux Klan, or otherwise.

And more than that, they are attempting, by a proscription such as was never known in any other age or country to accomplish this result. For example, take the process pointed out by Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, at Atlanta: Let no physician attend a call in the family of a Union man let no lawyer take a fee at the hands of a Union man let no me* chanic shoe a horse or make a wagon for a Union man let no merchant sella poundf of sugar nor a yard of calico to a Uniont, man refuse to speak to a Union man onii the street refuse to speak to his wife orfr daughter: do not recognize them in any way exoept as your enemies compel^ them to your support or leave the country. That plan is now being carried out.' It is hard for Union men to stand, no* matter how brave and patriotic—to best thussecluded from society and from ther conveniences and even the necessaries of* life. It ia difficult to see how they can" stay there under that state of things y«t,|s that is the policy that is now attempted to be carried out in all these rebel States.

In regaad to the colored man. what is' the policy of Wade Hampton, and which? is being carried out. It is the policy of coercion by starvation. Says Hampton, "Let not these colored men live upon your plantation. Give them no employment—no means of getting a livelihood, unless they come to your support." It is tho policy of coercion by starvation—the uuut inhuman and fiondish. policy ever suggested in any age or country. These negroes wore born upon their plantations they have nursed the master and his family have made him rich and powerful: among his neighbors, have given him all his consequence and new, unless he will, consent to surrender his political right® and return voluntarily to the condition of the slave, they hold out to him the condition of starvation.

If they arri turned off their plantations where shall they go? They do not know how to gel here, aud have not the means of coming. They cannot go on to the West plantation, therefore they are in. actual danger of starvation unless they yield to this demand. And these people: of the South propose to adopt that policy HS universal towards tbe poor colored men. who have all their lives labored for them..

They regard the freedom of the colored man as a crime upon his part. He did not make himself free ha was made free by a war which his masters began. He did not give to himself political rights, but they were conferred upon him. Now they say to him: '-Unless you will surrender these rights we will drive you. from the plantations upon which yoa: were born, and deprive you and your families of the means of living we present to you starvation or submission." 1 have already spoken to you longer than I intended, and longer than my strength warranted. I have only stated to you the questions tbat are to be decided at the coming election. I exhort you to stand by the principles of the Republican party. If Gen. Grant shall not be elected I tell you that all ia lost, and worse than lost. Nearly four hundred thousand, Union men have died in vain: five thousand millions of dollars have been foolish]y expended, and we will yet have to submit, after all, to that very thing against which we struggled throughout the r»i bellion.

Therefore, if you would again have peace in this country if you would again have prosperity: if you would again have a united country—a powerful republic, that shall be properly respected all over the world, you must stand fast by that party which is in favor of peace. But if you want another rebellion if you want civilwar if you want blood again to flow, and nil the atrocities of the rebellion to be renewed, then go and support that party which says that everything shall be undone that lias been accomplished, th« State governments established in th« South overturned by the sword, and that we shall nevor again have peace in thia country except by yielding to the demands of the rebels of the South,

AT tbe Democratic pole-raising in the Second Ward on Wednesday, Mr. SANFORD C. DAVIS, who has the lionro(?) to be associated with PETKK Y. BCSKIRKOQ the Democratic ticket, as a candidate for legislative honors, made a speech which, we are credibly informed, was remarkable for its total disregard of' facts and a fiery, vindictive, malicious pint. Mr. Davis succeeded admirably in disgusting the more intelligent and respectable portion of his Democratic bearers and in driving some of tbem off the ground very early in his exordium. His speech was severely denounced, yesterday, by some of the sachems of the Democratic party. One ot them sug-gf-'j'i that a Democratic bondholder ought to be permitted to attend one of his own party gatherings without being subjected to insult.

II!

not, we shall have to bide our time, and wait until General Grant is elected acd sk then, if these men shall continue to be rovolutiqnary, and shall .try to bring upon us again a civil war again to begin the shedding of blood, I hope that *uch measures will bo taken by which these men will either be brought to puniohment or bo compelled to leave the ca\xuiry.
