statement U signed by Wm. ARlcb
ardswa, Artiog Secretary of the Treat
ry From tbii document. It a ppeart,
the Tttknal debt, March 1st, 1869,
- fbur days before Grant was Liaucu
rted PwWent, ira 4,42J,43,230-0l,
ttnwbtcttft monthly iiittfeat of 10s-
, 323,40:1-50 was payable. Tbe tot! tte-
jaeW the debt from March 1, 1869,
to. January 1, 1870, wai7,7l8s$040,
ana tne decrease of Interest was over
10,000,000. On the Or day of Jan
uary, 1871, the total decrease from
March V69,WUl93,39&s466-S6. On
tbe first day of January, 1872, It trus
1281,624,848-8. And on the first dny
of August, ,8ft, tt was $337,404,603-57.
Tbe total decrease of monthly Interest
charge, to thbtdat, wis $1,884,204-75.
Tbe decrease of annual Interest charge
was 933,810,457.
On the first day of August, 1872,
the amount of the debt bearing Inter
est In ooln was $1,788,554,100. Tbe
debt bearing Interest in currency was
$24,153,000. Tbe aggregate of debt
bearing no Interest was $429,791,-
918 97. These several debts, with In
terest due and unpaid (including all
bonds, certificates of Indebtedness,
Nary Pension rand, old Demand
notes, legal tender notes, fractional
currency coin certificates, and unclalm
ed Interest) amounted to $2,273,416,
700 83, on the first of August ; and
the debt, less cash In the Treasury,
was $2,188,053,656 44. The decrease
thus shown has been effected mainly
by purchase and cancellation of bouds.
The above showing is official and
accurate. Tbe statement goes into
every detail, but we have given only
tbe briefest possible synopsis. It
is a triumphant record; one to
which we can point as a complete
refutation of all tbe charges of
corruption -and mismanagement,
which reckless opponents bring against
tbe administration of Gen. Grant
The burden of interest which this re-
doctlon of tbe debt bal lifted from tbe
people, is not, by any means, the only
or principal item of beneficence in tbe
management of the ft i unices. The
payment of the debt, has established
tbe national credit at home and abroad,
and thus made tlie management of the
balance of the debt easier, by means
of loans on more favorable terms.
has brought np the value of currency
to nearly par. What would have been
the condition of tbe common people.
had the currency remained at its for
mer frightful depreciation, is a prob
lem which nobody can think ot with
out Involuntarily thanking the admin
Ut ration fur having averted it.
It Is singular what a faithless Dem
ocrat, blackguard, and renegade, full
of all enssedness. Brick Pomeroy has
become, since a number of Democrats
met at Baltimore and voted to emi
grate from tlie old landmarks, leaving
Brick and a tew of the salt of Democ
racy in cl large of the bedrock position
A tew montlis airu, Brick was "that
sterling Democrat," thnt faithful ex
ponent of true Democracy," etc. Now,
tbe fugitive and vagrant Democrats
find tbe English language altogether
too poor in words of objurgation and
scorn, with which to adequately with
er him.- ,
Some of the Democratic newspapers
of Oregon are unprincipled enough to
continue the publication of a hodge
podge of vile language abusive of the
Germans and Irish, as the utterances
of Henry Wilson, though it has been
proved again and again that the lan
guage attributed to him was that of a
bigoted Know Nothing of. Indiana
named John M. Wilson. While these
chaps are shakinjr liancU across the
bloody chasm, and praying for peace,
they ought also to kneel occasionally
and pray for grace to retrain from
wicked lying.
A Democratic cotemporary wants to
know "Shall sober men support a sober
man for President ?" Wc should say
there coukl be no possible harm in an
swering "yes," if tlie man Is other
wise a suitable man to be President.
But if that rule .were inflexibly ap
plied what would '. become ot Bacha ri
al lan G. Brown, tbe mixed candidate
for Vice President? The Springfield
Republican, a supporter of Greeley,
demanded, a short time ago, that
Brown be withdrawn from the ticket
on account of grossly drunken habits.
Every Democratic paper we have
received, this week, has thought it
worth while to take special notice of
the Louisville Convention movement,
Tbere is evident alarm as to the influ
ence that Convention will have upon
the campaign. Several of them have
already commenced to receive newt
that "the Louisville Convention move
ment Is declining." What with tbe
Republicans and the Louisville Dem
ocracy, the grape-vine telegraph, In
use by the Democracy, Is likely to be
kept very taisy.
We have waited ft long Ume for the
Democratic papers to retract their
"flaunting lies" about the North Car
olina election. After Announcing a
Democratic victory, they dropped the
"abject, as totally- uninteresting, and
tbe Democratic readers of most of
them are, perhaps, still under the Ina
pressioo that North Carolina went
Democratic by twenty thousand, as
per Herald "special."
Tbe Albany Democrat affects to
think a fusion of Detaocratto and Re
publican members of the Legislature,
to elect a Senator, a practicable scheme.
We do not ; there's tbe difference
'twixt us. But we do not ddubt tne
Democrat would be very glad to fuse ;
and It is probable tliat one or two otb
wise lielpless and hopeless candidates
are like Barkis 'willln."
' The party of tbe name of Sullivan
says: "CraiHlall, of the Statesman,
intends taking out a patent for his ly
ing machine." Well, Sullivan need
not go to that trouble with hi ma
chineeverybody will recognise hit
right to tlie name and tbe machine,
without any patent. His lying is pat
ent enough already. .
Horace Greeley la said to be hard at
work on a new encyclopedia, which he
want to finish before bis inauguration
as President, of tbe United States.
But he needn't harry on that account.
He will have plenty of time to work
at it while Gen. Grant Is serving his
second term.
The Benton Democrat iiilnk "The
country U ablaze with the desire tor
reform " This Is only a slight mis
take in regard to the character of the
bl.iw? It I a consuming fire of the lust
of lot power.
OCB EOtTCATOI
TbeMoumouth Messenger says the
result of the late State Teachers' As
sociation meeting "confirms a con elu
sion we have long since reached, that
the educators are far behind tlie masses
of the people in zeal and Interest in
matters of education. It has seemed
so to us, for years. Tbe fact is, while
we have a few good teachers in the
State, the greater proportion of them
work for tttercly mercenary hire, and
as a temporary expedient. This is
particularly true of the district school
teachers. So fur ns the colleges acad
emics And seminaries are concerned,
we are proud to say, tlie rule does not
generally apply. The teachers em
ployed in them are in general men
and women who have adopted .teach
ing as a profession and who devote
their energies to tbe success of their
respective schools. But on the other
hand, we ore sorry to say that not
many of them interest themselves in
the improvement of our common
schools. There seems to be a sort of
understanding among them that it is
not to their pecuniary advantage to
have tlie common schools lifted to a
higher grade. We think we are justi
tled in making this statement, by tlie
almost entire and habitual absence of
this class of teacher from tbe sessions
of the State Teacliers' Institute. For
many years that association has beeu
'run" by men who though sincere
friends ot education, are not profes
sional teachers. A number of attempts
have been made to resolve the concern
into a Teachers' Normal v School ; but
tliese attempts have uniformly met
with some opposition and a good deal
of Indifference and, so, tliey have al
ways failed. We are satisfied that we
cannot expect ever to have a good
common school system till teachers in
' general, including Collegiate and Ac
ademic Professor, sliall rouse them
selves to the effort. We believe, too,
that a good school system established
by law. will bring with it the employ
ment of a better class of teachers than
Oregon has heretofore had in charge
of its common schools. This, hi turn.
will elevate the standard of the high
schools and thus, in ever way, a good
school law will benefit tbe people.
A BOAHD OF IMXIURATIOX.
A petition has been put in circula
tion In this' county, asking the legis
lature to make provision for sustaining
a State Board of Immigration. Like
petitions are In circulation in various
other parts of tbe State, and it is likely
that the aggregate of signatures will
count np large enough to give consid
erable weight to tbe request. Wc hope
that the Legislature will recognize tlie
fact that an enlarged population is just
now one of tbe greatest needs of our
State. A reasonable sum of money
judiciously spent for the advertisement
ot the advantages we can offer to im
migrants will be a most excellent In
vestment; one that will afford rich
returns to all portions of the State,
No effort can be made without a sys
tematic plan and some money. Private
effort has been tried on a limited scale,
with good results ; but it came to an
end because a few Individuals could
not afford to pay tlie entire expense,
while they were to be benefitted only
in common with each and every other
citizen of the State. If the Legisla
ture will make a suitable appropria
tion, and place some energetic, capa
ble man at tlie head ot tbe bureau, we
think the beneficial results will be such
as to amply satisfy every tax-payer of
tbe wisdom of the expenditure. Ini
migration is a material interest. It
cannot, however, be obtained in these
days of advertising without the use of
some such means as are universally
adopted by other States and Territo
ries. Oregon can afford to invest in
settlers upon its own domain. Let it
be done.
AXOTHEH LIE EXPOSED.
The Democratic papers have been
cliarging that tlie administration was
furnishing Blanton Duncan money to
pay the expenses of tlie Louisville Con
vention campaign. Of course, nobody
believed the falsehood ; but the fol
lowing from Blanton Duncan settles
the wliole matter. He says in a pub
lished card, Aug. 23d : "No money
was tendered me from Washington
and none would be accepted. Tlie ex
penses ot tbe Committee so far have
been borne by me, ns the future ex
penses will be, unless subscriptions
shall be made to defrav them."
The Eugene Journal says the Gree
ley club organized at that city recently
was composed of one man who voted
the straight Republican ticket, and
four men who voted for only a part of
it, last Jnne. Tbe rest were Demo
crats, twenty-six In number. The
Journal says: "Names have since
been added, and tlie list now probably
contains the names of most ot tbe
Democrats in tbe eonnty who will vote
for Greeley, and ot some who are not
likely to vote for him after they hear
from Louisville."
If any Republican Is In doubt about
what sort of men would surround Hor
ace Greeley and be his advisers, If he
were elected President, let him take
note of wliat sort of men are around
him now, iu th campaign nearly all
Democrats of the old secession scliool.
Greeley could not, If he would, rid
himself of these men after his election,
They would direct his administration
. The Indloatloiis are that West Vlr-
. glnla has gone against the Greeley
Democratic ticket. . Not enough is
known, however, to warrant a posi
tive prediction as to the result. If we
were disposed to adopt the Herald's
style of carrying elections, to-wlt :
"Special dispatches," we could easily
carry tbe State by 20,000' against the
Greeley crowd. But we forbear.
A Grant and Wilson Club was or
ganized at Portland, Saturday evening,

Mr. Greeley complains of severe
treatment at the hands of his former
Dolitical triends. He has no rurht to
complain, for bis former friends are
dolnziust wnat lie did wiieu Andrew
Johnson, Doollttle, and Carl Schurz
went over to the enemy. lie handled
these traitors to principle and party
without gloves, and treated them to
his choicest adjectives. Now that he
has lol lowed them he must not blame
others for holding him up as be held
up tbe renegades of the past. If tliey
deserved it tie aesentes tt none tbe less.
If anything his sin is ercater tlian
theirs. He stayed after they left ; he
denounced them fbr doing just what
be has since done. He, according to
his own words, knew better. But tbe
bait offered was too tempting. The
devil showed him tlie vision of the
White House, and promised to place
utmin it lie would tall down and
worship him. So Horace fell.

We have the following particulars
of a terrible tragedy at Dalla s, Polk
county, Saturday evening, from a re
liable correspondent :
Dallas. August 25, 1872.
En. Statesman : A terrible trag
edy was enacted Imtc lat night, aboiit
twenty minutes after nine o'clock, in
which several own were wounded, one
fatally. The fects as near as I can
pillteV tlieni f:wn what l saw n.yself,
jind liJtvc lie-aid from ollw-r wlio uit
iies.'d it. arc about ;is follow :
Nit no time ago one Zed Wilson got
into a row in Glaze & McCaunV sa
loon with a man by the name of Tili-hi-tts
h t age agent, I lielieve, on tin;
daily line. A. H. Whitley interfered
in the r". and r)t into a fight with
Glaze, who struck him over tlie liead
with a revolver, which '"put a head ou
liiin." as the slum vernacular lias it.
Whitley and his friends threatened
that 'hey would "get away with
Glaze,'" (whatever that may mean) so
lut night. Old Whit., Billy W hitley,
liis son, and one Frank Dice went into
the saloon for the purpose, as tliey
stated, ot "getting away with" Till
Glaze. When tliey went in old
Whit, shook hands with MoCann,
tiding his left hand, and keening his
right iu his ivket, on his pistol. Mc
Cann invited him to sit. down. Whit,
replied, "lay be somebody wants to
knock me down?" keeping his eye,
nil the while, on Till Glaze, and mov
ing around so as to briiig Glaze be
tween him and a large mirror. He
jerked out his pistol la small pocket
piece) and fired, the ball striking In the
ceiling, I ant informed. At this.
Glaze drew a pistol and tired, without
effect. Billy -Vhitley then threw a
hatchet at Glaze which struck him on
the arm, inflating a wound iu the
muscle and bone. At tlie same time
Frank Dice fired at MoCann. The
hall iuised McCann. passed through a
partition, striking Win. h. Moore in
the left shoulder, inllicting a very se
vere and painful wound. Thou Glaze
llrel at Whitley; the latter dodged
down and crawled out at tlie door.
Billy Whitley ran out of the saloon to
tlie livery stable and returned with a
double-barreled shotgun. Ashe came
in at the door lie fired one Ictrrel at
Glaze, missing liiui and striking Dan
B. iricliaedsoit in tlie arm with one
shot, the main charge passing through
a screen and partition, without doing
further damage. Before he coukl fire
the other barrel lie was shot down, the
ball strikii!' him about three inches
below, and back of tlie left nipple.
From this wound lie died about two
o'clock to-day (Sunday). After Frank
Dice fired at MeCanii, he began to
throw tumblers when some one (re
jiorted to liave been Till Glaze) pitched
into him atid beat him nearly to death.
It is reported that lie has a 'fancy
lirad on." and is in a critical condi
tion. Tlie doctors think he will re
cover, with care. The result of the
imek"e toots up : Three men shot ;
one killed ; one badly cut; one with
a badly broken head; the town v'iy
much excited ; mot people think
somebody ought to be hung or sent to
tle penitentiary for a term of about
iiinety-iiine years, and nearly every
Isvly thinks tlie next Legislature
iglit to put an effective muzzle on
whisky 1h1cs and gambling hells.
Post mortem and Coroner's inquest to
morrow ; when, jierliaps, the facts
will Ik' straightened out. and more
lully develtqied. Glaze mid McCanii
are under arret. but it. is not likely
that anything will be done with them
. us nearly every one st ems to think
that they are not to blame. There has
been some talk among the U'-4 citi-zeii-i.
hen-, of taking Old Whit, ont
and hanging him to a tree. Imt I think
more sober counsel will prevail, and
! not apprehend that anything of the
kind will be done. I saw the firing
from my window, and I tell you. it.
was a lively Maze, for a while It reg
ular battle with small arms at very
short range. McAlpin's is only one
or two doors above the saloon, and
wl'n the firing commenced he was

door with a hang, locked up for the
evening and took a walk towaid his
boarding house.

Salem, August 2C. 1872.
Tlie latott New York guid quotation was
113'.
Legal tenders are qnotcd at 87c, baying,
and Sfic, selling.
Interest liank rates on thirty, sixty and
ninety days, 1 per cent. Outside rates,
1(K12 per cent, pel annum. Outside of
banking business, Ikiwi-vlt. there is but
little loanable funds. The banks arc in bet
k r condition to answer business demands
than during the early part of the season,
''lie harvest has unquestionably set loose
some money tvhich ih finding its way into
general buxiuess channels. There have
Ltely been some additions to die circulation
through sales of real estate to immigrants.
Altogether the financial situation is easier
than it was up to the 1st day of August.
Wliile we cannot expect "money to be so
plenty this yuar as last, nor business to be
so profitable, still tliere are reasons to lie
lieve that there will be, from this time for
ward, a decided revival from the lethargy
which has ruled this tar through the year.
Indeed, salts are already better in baleni
thau during the first pirt of the season ;
and our business men are preparing for the
full trade on a more enlarged scale than at
any former time. There is apparant a more
decided determination among our more sa
gacious business men to regain and retain
tlie trade taken away by the opening of rail
road connection with Portland, than lias
been witnessed for two years past. It can
)e done, if our merchants will keep full
stocks and assortments, sell at small profits
and depend upon an enlarged circle of cus
tomers for their gains, rather than upon
trading with a few at larger per cents. The
fact is that for two years Portland merchants
have out-advertisul ours in every way, and
have sold goods. In consequence, to onr
very nearmt country neighliors, taking
trade which might anil ought to have been
secured by Salem merchants. All this will
lie remedied in time, and the prosperity of
tialem will be again assured.
The harvest, we think, has demonstrated
that the aggregate yield of graiu is not so
large as had been anticipated. While in
some sections the crop gathered is fully up
to or above the average yield per acre, it is
eertainlv true that there are numerous dis
tricts where it is far below. Nearly all the
spring wheat is short in yield. Tlie greater
tiian usual acreage reaped may make our
surplus equal to that of last year, but the
profit to the farmer is very considerably less
per bushel, not only on account of the short
average yield per acre, but the greatly re
duced price per bnshel. The present bny
iug rate iu San Francisco is $1 40 perccnud
or mie per bushel. This is bused upon the
Liv-rjxM)l quotation, snd is wliat the ship
per gives, e;.pictii:g to pay. aliovc tiiat, all
shipping" cluu-gtn and realize bis profit. The
price here must Iks, of course, IKk- less
treight charges and profit to the interme
diate buvcr, where the wheat goes by way
of San Francisco. Where shipment is di
rect to Liverpool, tliere is no reason why
the price should not be as high, or within a
fraction of it, at Portland as at San Fran
cisco, less the cost of sacking say 9c per
bushel. Of course, the farmers in the in
terior must also deduct the freight charges
to Portland, which will reduce their returns
to a verr low figure. We see nothing very
encouraging to the farmer in the wheat
prospects. Those who can, without embar
rassment, may do well to hold awhile.

WHAT THE SLAVE DRIVER HOPES
1'OU,
A white mail in a Southern city was
overseeing a number of colored men
engaged hi loading a car. They did
not move quite fast enough to suit his
brutal lordship. Tlie days of glaveiy
had gone by, or he would have cracked
the whip around their heads. But he
lashed tliein with his tongue, and used
profanity in lieu of the lash. At last
lie roared out, "By God, wlien Greeley
U elected we'll give you damned nig
gers bell!'' We did not stop to In
quire how that man would vote. lUs
language assured us that he was a lib
eral Greeley ite. He wa but one ot
tens of thousands throughont the South
who see In the electiou of Horace
Greeley the opportunity long wished
for to '"give the damned niggers

speech or nosr. J. 11- siitoieia..
Delivered before the rnnt riubof
FortlMiid, at Ita Orunntsatkm, hat.
urdaj cvemlnc Aug. 24tb.
Mr. President and Feltoic-Citizeas :
I sliall not detain you long with any
extended speech. We are here iu
cheerful obedience to the call of tlie
Republican County Coifimltteefot Mult
nomah county tor the purpose of re
newing our allegiance to the National
Republican party, and to declare to
tlie world our intentions to snpport
with all the power and energy ol tur
IKTsoual and political lieing its present
mi tioniil standard-bearers and nominees
of the Philadelphia Convention, Ulysses
IS. Grant of Illinois, and Henry Wil
son ot Massachusetts.
This evening: our party camp fires,
whose embers have carccly died out
since our recent contest and recent
victory iu this State, sliall lie rekindled
to guide our conquering hosts on to the
vet greater contest, and a more bril
liant victory.
The daily telegrams from the States
east ot the ltocky Mountains, remind
us that we are on the eve of another of
those periodical, those quanilreuisl but
bloodless contests wherein the voice ol
the whole people, as uttered at the
ballot-box. is to determine in whose
hands the Government shall rest the
ensuing four years, and which must
necessarily, to a greater or less extent,
control and shaie the destinies of our
Republic for years and years to come.
It is a great struir;le, therefore, be-
.tween conflict in;; minds and elements,
betore whose splendors tho-e or the
serried hosts of war. upon the world's
blood-stniiicd battlefields, pale into
iuMgtiiticaiice and f ide forever away ;
contest wherein the sword lies mo
tionless in its scabbard and the revolu
tionary, swift-winged bullet, gives
place to that more peaceful and consti
tutional ballot, which the poet tells us
Comes down as light as snow-flakes fall upon
the wl.
Hut executes the freeman's will as lightning
does the will tf God.
We are licie to-night, fellow-citizens,
iu tlie exercise of our preroga
tives as members of a great political
party and as citizens of onr common
country for the purpose of inaugurat
ing in Multnomah county the l'resi
ileiitial campaign for 172.
We are here to again call the roll ot
those valliaut Republicans upon whose
banner victory lias so often pen-lied,
and who in the recent contest gave to
tlie Republican nominee for Congress
a majority of nearly one thousand
votes: and liere this evening in the
presence ot this large and enthusiastic
audience, we renew our faith in tlie
cherished principles of Republicanism,
as enunciated iu tlie National Repul
lican riatform at the Philadelphia
Convention, and pledge ourselves each
to the other and to true Republicans
everywhere throughout the length and
breadth of the land, thnt in Novem
ber next. Multnomah county shall roll
up a majority of over one thousand
votes against that nameless party led
bv Greeley and Brown, and in favor
of that hero ot many victories in peace
as well as In war, the present f resi
dent of these United States of Ameri
ca. And when a coalition of elements,
of principles, and of men, so unex
pected, so unnatural, so opxsed to all
past history, so pregnant With suspi
cion, so clouded iu doubt, so involved
in mysterv and so abhorrent to every
principle and seiitimentof consistency,
is presented as our adversary as that
of (ireeley and the iX'inoeraey bearing
upon their banners the frank but omi
nous declaration "Anything to beat
Grant," then it occurs to me that
good, intelligent, patriots ot" all
political parlies should hesitate long
Ix-tore they join hands with such mi
alliance, or give countenance to what
appear to ben dangvrou coiv-7rrary
against the true interests of the whole
people; that they should pointer mell
the question whether It is for the best
interests of this Republic with its
flirty millions ot pe-ople, with all its
treasured trophies of the tast and fts
high hoes for the future, that the .tft
ministrition of its government should
be wrested trom the tin ml of those
who have home its banner its trimnph
over many a battle Held. recansrrmed
the shattered temple of its freedom,
preserved and enlarged the liberties of
its people, sconrpeil it of a nation's
curse, humanized its system of jaris
prudence. vitalized its whole fhtanci-tl
and industrial heinjr, stimulated and
extended its commerce, maintained its
integrity and fair name at hoof and
abroad, and aped its mighty being for
ward in sublime gramTeiar and with
moral and political power, over the
great highway ot eace and prosperity,
and be turned over to tlcrt nameless
conglomeration of men ait principles,
that unnatural coalition, that str.mge
and dangerous confederation T antag
onistic forces now demanding eoolnri
of this Government.
Tlie motives that will faidnce mm to
abandon every principle SirwhK-b they
have zealously battled throngh all the
year of a lifetime, jiimI torn their
"backs upon the record of their hvis.
and upon their friends, and clasp hnuds
not across "the bloody chasoi but
rather the "filthy pool" with their per
sonal and politic-al enemies, uu;t be
something else tlian patriotic ; and wi
les I am much mistaken, the decision
of the American mind, and the jwfg
luent of the American people iu No
vember next will preitiomice them
base, and their Ksessrs nu worthy
the confidence of a free, iiiriepenileiit.
intelligent and patriotic constituency.
And yet such would seem te be Ilie
character of the motives and tlie men
that are to-day arravetl against the
Republican party and it standard
bea rer.
Horace Greeley, the lne-toug cluim-
plon ot tlie doctrine of protection to
American ministry oy means oi nign
protective tarilf. to-day tlte candidate
for President of that party whose great
cardinal nrincinle imon the important
subject has been that or tree tnule. aim
who in National riatform at Cincin
nati in 185(5 as well as iu other plat
forms both before and since declared
that the v were in favor of a system of
free trade throughout the world. Hor
ace Greeley, the lite-long stickler tor
the doctrine of the supremacy ot the
general government over tliose of tlie
States, to-lav tne candidate or inai
parly which for nearly three quarters
of a century contended tor the directly
ounosite iloctrine of State ritditss and
State supremacy, mid which finally.
for the purpose of maintaining that in
famous heresy at all hazards and en
grafting it in direct terms upon onr
system or tiovermueur, punigeu me
nation into war, and desolated the
laud with blood.
Horaee Greeley, who two years ago
indorsed the several recent Aiiie-nd-
mcnt to the Constitution, to-day the
eamlidale of that party which then
claimed, and ever since until within
tbe past tew mouths, that those amend.
ments were the result ot usurpation
and fraud, and were not binding as
parts ot the Constitution upon, the
American people. Horace Greeley.
who for a life-time, lftitil his head has
become hoary with the frosts of time,
has proclaimed to the world, through
the trumpet tones of the leading new
paper of tlie land, that tlie Democratic
nartv is composed pincipaJy of the
slum and vagabonds of society, to
day the candidate of that same Demo
cratic party for President ! " Oil, con
sistency, thou art a jewel !"
Search the records of the past ; go
down among tne governments ot eartn
resurrect the history of the worst na
tion anil the worst men that have ever
lived since creation's dawn, and such
an example ot Inconsistency In all its
elements and hues of character can no
where be found. It Is an unprece
dented example of an over-weenine
ambition upon tbe one hand, involving
a most pitiable and humiliating sacri
fice of principle, coupled witn an enort
uooii tlie other, under the false name
of patriotism, to obtain through chica
nery anu deception tne control or a
Government that treason and rebellion
liad fallen to destroy. It Is a bold
stroke ot policy, not bv the masses en
gazed by any means, but by tbe lead
ers who planned it ; by tlie men whose
hinds and wlioc hearts are not yet
washed wholly clean from tbe crime
of moral and political treason, ana
which If successful would, in my judg
ment, tell upon the dostlny of this Re
public more terrible than aid tne nery
hall of rebelHoil'.
It Is a subject, then, upon which
every patriot in the land should 8ieak
out in trumpet tones, and cast at once.
and with all tlie power of his nature
into the balance of the mighty contro
versy, tlie weight of his Influence
whether it be ereat or small. There
Is no more excuse to-day for men to
be neutral, or afraid to define tbeir
position, thau there was wlien the ar
tillery of the rebellion was thundering J
at the . gates nf the Republic Tbe
liberties and tlie dearest rights of the
people were In jeopardy then, tliey are
none the less In peril now ; and no true
Republican and patriot who loves his
tarty and his country, and who de
Mres to see them succeed In every con
test and triumph upon every battle
field wlietlier ot peace or war, can now,
in justice to hlmselt, his party or his
cnuiitry afford to maintain a dignified
silence, much less evade, postpone, or
shirk tlte Solemn Issues of the hour,
although the reward for such a course
might Tie a scepter or a crown.
Tlie evil results of jieacefiil revolu
t ion are not infrequently more disas
trous iu their consequences than those
-f war. Diplomacy and politii-al leg
erileiuain have in ages past at times
accomplished tlion: purposes for the
accomplishment of which bloody wars
have been waged in vain. The. quiet
jiolitlcal cunning, and the secret olit
icnl machinations ot the defeated war
rior, are oltentitnes more dangerous
than the drawn sword ; while the un
susHCting patriotic masse of the peo
p'e are more likely to he deceived by a
a fret wicked tiallut, than by an open
wicked bullet.
But why, I would inquire, sliould
we abandon the Republican party, or
turn our hacks in cold ingratitude up
on its glorious receird ot the pasty Has
not the Republican party, in the .lan
guage of our National Platform, "Dur
ing the eleven years of its ascendency
ncceted with grand courage tlie
solemn duties of tlie time, suppressed
a gigantic reliellion, emancipated four
millions ot slaves, decreed the equal
citizenship ot all, and establislied uni
versal sutrragc?"' Yes it has done
more tlian this. It lias exteueleel and
enlarged our National area reaching
liir out towards the waters of Asia,
thus laying tlie strong ami of the Gov
ernment upon the commerce of the
world. It has protected and encour
aged immigration, it las de-maiided
and secured from European powers a
full and complete acknowledgment of
the rights of naturalized citizens. It
has maintained tlie integrity and fair
name of our nationality iu all lauds
ami upon every sea. It lias in tint Ad
ministration of the finances of the Gov
ernment iu the langirige of an eminent
.statesman "trumA!- nmti iuijtoxsiljili
.'iV.v," providing tor tlie National credit
iu the form ot a National curreiicyaud
maintaining tiiat credit under unpanil
leled embarrassments, so tliat it stands
to-day as a proud mausoleum to the
most successful financial diplomacy
knowu among the governments ol men.
It lias during the Administration ot
Grant reduced tlie public ek'bt at the
rate of over one hundred millions ofdol
lars per annum, thus wiping out ot exis
tence during tlie three years ot his Ad
ministration over three hundred mil
lions ot tlie nation's debt, and cutting
off during tliat time interest ou tliat
debt to tlie extent of twenty millions a
year. And yet. notwithstanding this
great reduction of the debt, tlie bur
dens of taxation have been reduced
over one hundred and fifty millions ot
dollars j-r year. It has elevated the
labor nt tlie country from a condition
little Ivss tlmn that ot actual servitude
to one tlmt is honorable and substan
tial and consistanti with the high pre
tensions of freedom and justice to
which our Republic so justly aspires.
It has given to each laboring man iu

of magnanimity unparalleled in the

Republican party to-day present a

the greatest patriot or most zealous
