An Able Exposition of tlie Principles of the Late Bepublican Party.

Fall Report of His Speech.

A large audience assembled in front oj the Republican stand on Main street Monday night to hear Thomas II. Nelson. He was introduced by Capt. J. Hager, and spoke as follows:

CHALLENGES A* COMPARISON between the record of the Republican party and the record of the Democratic party, by declaring that the Republican party presents no principle, no issue that meet9the .exigencies of the times, while at the same time he is vociferous in the advocacy of what he js pleased to call Democratic principles. Aa a very humble member ot the Republican party, I most gladly accept the challenge to a comparison of the records of those two great parties. [Applause.j After all this is the Lest test by which to judge parties, the best test by which to judge any organization,—men, individuals, or churches: "By their fruits shall you know them. What is the record of the Democratic party? I have lived in this world I will not say how long in the presence of these ladies—but for twenty-five years I have been a rather close observer of political events, and I think I know something about the political organizations of the Country, in the iast quarter of a century, and I have learned a great deal about the time-honored principles ofthr"4" Democratic party, the principles for which so jmany good men, in times that are past* and so many good men to-day are willing to lay down their live*, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Now what are Democratic principles? They come and fade, like a wreatn of mist at eve. There was an old philosopher whose tjsype was Diogone»e, it was" said that he passed through the world up and down wiih alighted candle in his hand, looking in vain for an honest man. So, for lo these many ears I have gone up and down the land looking tor a man who could define to me

WHAT DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES are. [Applause and laughter.] I admit that that party has always been full of pledges', promises, and professions. But there is a wide difference between democratic promises and democratic fulfillments. Those professions and promises like the celebrated dead sea fruit of which we read, that are so ripe, tempting and beautiful to the eye, when you come to taste them they turn to ashes on the lip and their remedies for the evils that inflict the body politic are like certain quack 1 ostrums, which are false labeled and ougai -coated for the purpose of deceiving the people. I venture this assertion thut there is not one single, solitary Jaffirmative principle on which the Democratic part* unites. I venture this further assertion," that the brightest Democrat intellect within the sound of my voice dare not get up before this -udience, and teli one single Democratic principle. [Applause.J Talk about their time honored principles! 1 remember of pressing my friend Mr. Voorhees, day after day, upon this subject and I received no response when the people demanded a response. He made this very remarkable answer, for Dauiel was generally equal to the occasion. He said: •'You ask me what Democratic principles are. Thev are built opon the rock of ages, and they are as immutable as the everlasting hills. They are the same yesterday, to-dav and forever,—« the rock smitten in the Wilderness, from which the waters of truth are constantly gushing forth they are written athwart the heaven in letters of living light, and engraved upon the tablet of every hontst human fKitri." ihis was Daniel's remarkably, c:tar, and eloquent exposition Democratic principles, Applause and laughter.] I say tnat the Democratic party never had an affirmative principle on which the party united., It has been on both sides arid on all sides of everv question which has agitated this people tor the' last forty years, and never yet carried a measure through the Congress of the United Stales that was not fraught with .ruin and destruction to the best interests of the country. Having, therefore, no Affirmative principles of 1 their

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN —The grea eat regret that I have in attempting to address you to-nigut arises fro the fact that I am scarcely in physical condition, oyving to a stverecold, to do justice to vou, to myself, or to the great issues which are now- agitating our people. I shall, therefore, crave your in dulgence during nr.y remarks, promising you, in advance, that I will trespass upon your attention as short a time as possible. I shall have occasion in the course of my remarks to speak of the Democratic party, and to allude to its record. I shall have occasion, before I get through, to allude to the National organization, and I shall have occasion, before I get through, to allude to my friend, the Hon. D. W. Voorhees. [Applause.J And in speaking of those organizations, I shall speak of them as political organisations, and in no unkind feeling, and in no unkind spirit. Many of you know, perhaps, that for twentyfive ears 1 have been an intimate friend of Mr. Voorhees. We have always differed politically, yet these political differences have n»ver, for one instant, entered into our social life. I have as many personal friends among the Nationals and Democrats as I have among the Republicans in the County of Vigo. My ftiend, Mr. Voorhees, in thi speech which he made in the opening of the campaign at South Bend, a speech which was substantially delivered in this eity, boldly and defiantly,

kjr

own, they ar^ constantly relying on shifting and temporary EXPEDIENTS FOR SUCCESS. "First upon the heel tap, then upon the toe, I

Turn around, and whirl Around, and jump Jim Crow." [Laughter.] I forgot that they have seven principles upon which they unite. They consist of five loaves and seven fishes. [Laughter.] As Mr. Calhoun said of his own party, "They are held together .. by the cohesive power offv}- public plunder and to accomplish this public plunder they have literally, t-" wf -n ti

"Wired in anil wired out, 4? Ami left a body still in doubt Whether the snake that?mado the track

Was going south or coming back."

But, gentlemen, this Democratic snake is generally'going in a southerly direction and when you come to examine its particular character it turns out to be nothing more or less than a copperhead. [Applause.]

Mr. Sherman remarked a few days ago, that the brain of the Democratic party is in the South to-day. It always had been it is there now. The brain of the party is there with nothing but its miserable wiggling tail in these northern States, and no southei slave ever yet yielded more willing, implicit obedience to the crack of his master's whip, than these self same northern Democratic leaders have always yielded to the dicta tion of their southern masters. Shakes peare, in his great play of Hamlet, gives us a most admirable deliniation of a modern Democrat, and when he portrayed the character Polonius^ he must have anticipated that some of these times, not very remotely, some such man as the great American straddler, the artful dodger of American politics, Mr. Hendricks, would exist.

Says Hamlet to Polonfus: limn.—Do you s«e yonder cloud, thats almost in shaLu of a camel?

Pol.—Bytho mass, and'tis like a camel, Indeed. Ham.—Meth inks it is like a weasel. 1\1.—It is backed like a weasel. 11am.—Or, like a whale? -t

Fol.—Very like a whale. «•*,

So it is with these northern leaders of the Democratic party they are camel, whale, weasel, just' as their southern masters may dictate to them. I hav^ said, fellow citizens, that while th Democratic party was dominant in this country it never presented or carried a measure throughfjj the Congress of the United States that was not fraught with.ruin and desolation to the best interests of the country, 1 appeal to every familiar record. As I said, "By their fruits shall vou know them."

Mr. Voorlvees has challeneed a comparison of

1HE TEKRE HADTfi WEEKLY GAZETTE.

What was their

greatest act? It was the repeal.of THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE line, a work that was considered almost as sacred as the constitution itself. A line was established to prevent the monstrous power and aggressions of slavery in the public territories, yet the Democratic party, without consulting with the people, without having elected a member of Congress, with reference to this mighty and momentout. issue, for the mere accomplishment of a party'end, and at the dictation of their Southern masters, repealed that compromise, and thus reopened the bloody wounds that had been so happily healed, and like the fabled box of Pandora scattered death, destruction and desolation all over this land, setting father against son, neighbor against neighbor, section against section, in the great war of the Rebellion. Therefore, I say for this rash act, and for all the consequences which followed that act—four long years of bloody war—a war that made its mark upon every brow, and cast its shadow upon every heart a war that cost thoausands of millions of dollars, which created a debt that will hang over us and over our children after us a war that placed hundreds of thousands, to sleep their last sleep, in bloody graves, 1'say for this and all these consequences, so help me Almighty God, the'Democratic party alone is responsible. (Applause.) Now in speaking of the Democratic party, my friends, I do not mean you, my Democratic friend, who is doing "me the honor of listening to me on this occasion. I speak ot that party as a political organization. I have lived long enough in this world to know that the great mass of the people of all political parties are equally honest, and equally desirous to to subserve the very best interests of the country, and that we only differ in the methods by which those best interests may be promoted. Thank God, hundreds and

h{t

|THOUSANDS OF DEMOCRATS, Over this country, threw aside verything like party allegiance and rushed to the front and imperiled their lives to save the lite of the nation, and the only thing that surprises me is that those men, who thus shea their blood, and exposed their lives, can to-day affiliate with the party which did so much to degrade and debase them, a party which but the other day struck down a gallant old Irish Democratic soldier, a hero of two wars, whose body was riddled with bullets in the service of his countrv. That man was defeated at the dictation nf the ""southern majority in Congress, and a confederate general was made doorkeeper of the House. I think I have a right to speak to you to night, as I have done while they, thus, put the Confederate gray over the Federal blue, I will sDeak cf this, at the risk ot waving the bloody shirt before the people of this country, especially when 1 am challenged to a comparison of the record of the republican party with that of the democratic party. [Applause.] I know this is a little disagreeable to many of the democrats. Of course it a fellow sets fire to yqpr house or barn he don't like a mans allusions to it [laughter and applause] and there is nothing so sdft or gentle—the balmiest sigh that a gentle zephyr breathes in evening's ear is not so

TENDER AND TOUCHING 1

as the voice of my Democratic friends, when they 6ay for God's sake not allude to the record of which I have been speaking. [Applause and laughter.] The Republican party was a necessity springing out of the repeal of the Missouri compromise line. The object of that pa-ty was to arrest the

monstrous aggressions of the slave power in the pu -lic territones*. Many persons will remember the contest of 1856, when I had the honor of delivering, the first Republican speech ever delivered in,Terre Haute you remember what important questions were involved in that contest—whether this government was bas?d upon free or slave principles. We went into that contest and were beaten. Here cornea a comparison with reference to the relative patriotism of the two parties. Not one man, woman or child of the Republican party ever breathed a word of resistance to the constitution and laws of the land. How was it four years later? Mr. Lincoln was elected President of the United Staces— elected in all the forms of the law, no one questioned the legality of his election, he was powerless for mischief from a democratic standpoint, because there was a majority in congress against him, and almost an undivided supreme court against I.im. He had not interfered with a single right of a southern state, and yet, before his inauguration, and before any pvert act could have possibly been committed, you found six or seven stateH of this unio» springing from theif practical relations with the general government, and set ing up for themselves. I would like to know how Daniel likes thut. [Applause and laughter.]

I think I am warranted in saying that if the Democratic party had co-operated with the party of the Union, iii the beginning of this war, the war would not nave lasted six months, and thus millions of dollars of the peoples money would have been saved and hundreds of thousands of precious lives. Now in 1S62, taking advantage of the absence of the boys in blue in front, the Democrats succeeded in carrying a majority of both branches of the legislature of the State of Indiana, I think both branches, I know they did one. What was the first thing they did? That was in the midst of the war, when the life of the nation seemed to be suspended by a single thread. Their first act was to refuse to receive a patriotic message of your war governor, the man the constitution appointed to deliver his message to the legislature, and in lieu of it adopted a peace message of Governor Sevtnour, of New York. What was their next act? Thev attempted to take from the hands of the Government, where the constitution of the country had put it, the military power Of the state, and to place it in the 'hands of the four principal 'officers »f the state, three of whom were connected with a reasonable oiganization. and but for the energy, courage and sa gacity of Oliver P. Morton—God bless his glorious and illustrious memory— their plan» might have succeeded, the union might have been destroyed. One thing we know, that is, that during that great sti uggle not one word of encour agement came from the great leaders of the Democratic partv. What sort of encouragement did Voorhees give, or

Hendricks,or McDonald, or James D. Williams? Not one solitary word of encouragement during, the whole progress of the war.

After four long years of suffering, death and destruction, the smoke and dust slowly arose from the field ®f battle, ar.d we beheld the glorious flag of our Union full high advanced, without a single stripe erased, —without a single star obscured and we beheld this glorious ocean-bound republic of ours, redeemed, regenerated and diienthralled. In this great work jet it forever be remembered that the democratic party had neither lot nor part.

The .var resulted in the EXTIRPATION OF HUMAN SLAVERY, which was the cause, as 1 said, ot all our troubles. Thanks to th^ republican party, we have a country to-day, the pure air of which is not breathed by a single slave or bondman. [Applause.] Ine emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln struck a blow directly at the vitals of the Democratic party, because, as they maintained themselves, the chief corner-stone of the Democratic party was the institution ot slavery. Thank God the Republican party fixed the principles of that emancipation proclamation in the constitution of the United States, and there it will forever remain as a guarantee of liberty to all. Another great result was the establishment of our system of government. Mr. Calhoun and the great leaders of the Democratic party in the South maintained that this government was a copartnership from which any one or more states might, at pleasure, separate or secede. It was that for which the war of the rebellion was fought. I can honor those people of the South who went into the war and fought for a great principle infinitely more than I can honor the Northern Democrats who sympathized with them, but had not the courage to go down and fight tor their principles. [Applause.] One of the results, I say, of this war was in fixing and establishing our system of government, that it was not a partnership of states, and in the restoration of the doctrine of the men who made the constitution of the United States that this nation ison&hotnogenous, federal-repub-lic. Bear in mind that in the accomplishment ot all the*e great ends, for the benefit of the country, for civilization and the cause of mankind, the Democratic party never contributed part of lot. Remember again—I want this to be forever remembered—hat during during the war, just after the success at Vicksburg, after the success at Gettysburg, and when there seemed to be a prospect of the triumph of the arms of the Union, the Democratic party met in the city of Chicago, and there unanimously resolved that the war was a failure, thus, in the midst of the fight, giving aid and comfort to the enemies of their country. I commend this record, especially to the young men of the country.

Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? A corrupt tree cannt bring forth good fruit. A tree is known by its fruits. Wherefore by their fruits shall you know them. I trust you will apply these principles to the record of the Republican party and also to that of theDemocratic party.

I maintain that the record of the Democratic porty upon the question of FINANCES AND THE PUBLIC CREDIT. has been equally unpatriotic, equally inconsistent, and that the Democratic party upon these great yicstions is recreant

unworthy and incapable of taking pos session of the affairs of this great country. [Applause]

The Democratic party by every expedient did everything in its power to injure and destroy the public credit, opposed public subscriptions, opposed bonds, opposed legal tenders, and did every nefarious thing they possibly could to cripple and destroy the administration of President Lincoln, in |tis efforts to put down a gigantic rebellion. They began how Bv proposing, to a man, that they would tax the bonds of the United States—tax them for general purposes, for state purposes, and for local and municipal purposes, nor did they care one farthing for the amount of revenue that might be raised therefrom, but that they might destroy the negotiable character of the bonds in order to prevent the raising et monev. and thus at once put an end to the war. Now, the public bonds cannot be taxed. Why? Simply for the reason that the interest-bearing bonds of the United States cannot be taxed, because the government has in its power to repudiate that interest. For example, a person buys a public bond bearing six per cent, interest. The government, you say, has a right to tax that bond. It the government has a right to tax it, it can tax it so high as to prevent the bond-holder having any interest at all, or, in other words repudiate the interest, and that is the irresistable logic of Chief Justice Marshall—the greatest lawyer that ever sat on«the supreme bench, and that question has never been brought before the supreme court from that day to this. The bonds which are deposited as security for the issue of National bank notes are taxed—the best system ever devised for the protection of the bill-holder and it is proper that 1 should state that those National banks have paid in the form of taxes to the government, state and national,$i 84,000,ooo.-

I come briefly to the subjcct ot the circumstances under wjiich THE GREENBACK LAW.

You remember tHa* in

about the month of Januarv, 1862, it was a general subject ot discussion all over the country, and especially in the Congress of the United States, and you all know the position taken by the leaders of the Democratic party without a single exception, Democrats denounced the Greenback issues as unconstitutional. Many gentlemen within the sound of my voice, will remember when my disguished friend Mr. Voorhees stood up before the people of this city, in one hand a piece of gold and in the other a greenback, and said this is the money of the constitution and the only money ot the constitution. This is your money," and "This (referring to the greenback) is a worthless rag." The speaker referred to a speech of Mr. Pendleton, and to 'he vote or Mr. Voorhees in Congress against the issue of legal tender notes, and continued: The legal tender bill passed the Hou«r making the notes a legal tender, in paya a private, within the United States, not even excepting custom duties, and the interest on the public debt, Tfije senate edopfed an amendmeut'that the interest on the government bonds should be paid i*i coin. Now, when it came to the House of Representatives how did Mr. Voorhees vote upon this subject? Why, that gentleman, who denounces the bloated bond-holders, and who talks about the interests of the laboring man, as a Representative in the Congress of the United States voted that the interest on those bonds should be paid in coin. Bear that in mind, when he comes before you again, and talks about the interesta of the poor man I say this, without fear of successful contradiction, that the votes of Mr. Voorhees, in the Congress of tne United States, whatever his declarations may be before the people, have always been in the interest of the rich man, and kgain* the interest of the poor man. (great applause) How often have you heard his denudations of the very thing he voted for himself, in voting that the interest on the bonds should be paid in coin Point me if you please, to a great corporation, which has an axe to grind in the Congress of the United States, when you do not find Mr. Voorhees one of its most earnest and zealous advocates. Take, for example, the great land grab, such a land-grab as never occurred on this earth before. When, it comes to that question Mr. Vddthees votes aye. The mistake Voorhees always made was in underestimating the intelligence of the people. The people will find when they

standing his amenity, liii kindness, his wonderful solicitude for the poor man, when he is before the people, that in the Senate of the United States, wheie the measure ot a great corporation is involved, Daniel not only votes for it, but is one of its most earnest supporters. I say, and the history of the country will show it, that there has not been a single instance, when be was in the congress of the United Slates, whsn there was' a great job in favor of some organization, when you did not find a most zealous advocate in your distinguished Senator, the Hon. Danel W. Voorhees. I think, perhaps, the greatest piece of financial statesmanship that ever Daniel accomplished, on this earth, was accomplished when he voted tor the' salary grab. [Great applause and laughter.}. He not only voted for the land grab, and voted to relieve the whiskey ring,and to relieve the Washings ton ring, but votes $5,000 into his own pockets.

The speaker said that it was charged bv Mr. Voorhoos that the Republican party contracted the currency. He said that*there was a proposition made to the Congress of the United States, at the suggestion of Secretary McCullough. That proposition recommended measures of contraction, looking to the speedy resumption of specie payments that measure was introduced into the Congress of the United States, and passed. Who do you think voted for that measure of contraction? The Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees, himself.

The speaker reviewed Mr. Voorhees' public record, at some length, and touched upon other topics. A rush of other matter precludes the publication of the entire speech. He said, in conclusion, "I felicitate you, Republicans, I congratulate you, my brethern of the house-hold of the true faith, upon the prospect which opens before us now.

I congratulate you °ver

uponJ the Tact that in all mv experience and observation of the Republican party of the State ot Indiana, I hare never known it so thoroughly organised and disciplined as it is at ti}it time. I congratulate you upon your magnificent enunciation ,of principles, contained in the platform, adopted at the city of Indianapolis. I commend it to your for careful and considerate reading. Familiarize yourself with its teachings it U, indeed, apples of gold in pictures of silver it is God Almighty's glorious eternal evangel, and the gates of hell can prevail against it, until a triumph over the world, the flesh and the Democratic party. [Applanse and laughter.] If any have been doubling or hesitating, I beg vou to awake from the lethargy in which you lie bound, cast from you that unworthy indifference to the future of yourcountry, shake off the dew drops that glitter on yo\ir garments, and march boldly to victory. [Applause.] ?,i

JU1- THE LIL1PUTIANS. On Saturday, September 28th, the Liliputian Opera Company will be here and give an afternoon and evening enter* tainment.

The Louisville Courit*r-Journal says: The actorj in the operetta of Jack the Giant Killer are wonderx in themselves. Colonel Orr looks everv inch of 8 feet, and his first appearance in the background, made up with some ferocity, with a villainous club, is somewhat startling, and that he strikes terror into the hearts of some of the youthful beholders as may be seen by their clinging close to their companions. Jennfe Quigley, 33 inches high, is a captivating yttle artist, with all the coquetry and art of the mature and developed woman which unusual combination, childish innocence united with captiyating. ways, affords a pleasant surprise and carries old and young by storm. She has a sweet face, a perfect figure, and is graceful. She is an artist and not an amateur. She excites applause by merit, rather than by the novelty of her appearance. Admiral Dot is unusually good, both in singing and acting, and is undoubtedly possessed of a high order of talent. Prince Louis' interpretation of the old man is wonderfully realistic, his make up and acting being equalIv good. Major Houghton is the funniest little old woman in the world, the audience fairly convulsing with laughter when he steps on the stage. Miss Ella Kirtland as Arthur, the English ambassador, is very pretty and bright, while Miss Sarah Belton, as the quiet elder sister, is alsq attractive.

THE GAZETTE is in receipt of the prospectus of the Cincinnati musical college. There are ten departments ot study, named as follows:

The voice the orchestra theory piano forte playing history of music, and lectures upon musical subjects score playing and conducting languages: elocution, concert room department and dramatic expression.

The college will be open for the reception of students early in October. Persons wishing to apply for admission should address the "Secretary of the College of Cincinnati."

In the course of the prospectus the fol-1 lowing is found which will be of especial interest: :w,

An important ferituM fn this plan is the formation of classes which shall teach the student to think musically. It is desirable that a candidate to the elementary classes shaH have a singing voice, and some technical knowledge of music, but this will not be made a condition of admission. All persons will be {eceived and classified according to their capacities and knowledge.

In these different grades of chorous instruction they will be taught to reader music, to exercise the voice, and learn the signs and terms of musical express sions.

All stuetienti in the College, whether or not pursuing special studiea, will be required to attend these classes, unless excused by the Directors
