JHEELEY'S SPEEC JI AT CORRY
PENNSYLVANIA.
Fellow Citizens : A Presidential
flection necessaiilly brings into review
the aetioo of ycur Government, and
ithe measures for good or ill which effect
the prosperity of the country, uad the
welfare of the people. Not that A
r 13, who may be persons of moderate
capacity and still more moderate
worth, should he President or hold
.some-, other office, but that you, the
fxjople, should look over the whole
ground, see what is right and what is
amiss, ard use your best efiorts to
.correct evils, and to sustain what is good
jjfow, you are aware, as wdl as I aai,
that our country has not been reconciled
and regulated, and brought into peace
and order, and thut nearly eiht year?
iiave elapsed fiucc the war ended, and
peace and security oupjit to have been
attaiued much sooner than this. Look
ixt the difficulties and obstacles to be 1
.overcome now. First in point of
urgency, was what we call the Ku Klux
outrages of the South. Certain person
znainly open rebels and rebel soldier.-.
,ouspired together, formed theujsclve
uto companies or organizations ol
oiuc kind, niid in hideous Cisguit
paraded the country, I mean certain
portions of the Southern country,
ibusiug and maltreating innocent. juie
people, mainly black moo. I don't say
don't mean to say there were not
excuses and provocations for these
outrages. There were, but 1 say then
were no justification for any such
conduct as that. .The pretence generally
ras what that they called the carpet
frag governments were abomniblo. True
or Dot, that is no excuse for hauling
quiet people out of their beds at
u id night and subjecting thorn to all
pianucra of indignities. Ido, then, 1
taid 1 d.d not recommend particular
or extreme measures,but I said no doubt
t is the duty of the State to protect
their citizens respectively, and to put
down all lawlessness. But suppose they
jdon't or can't, or won't ? The people
pre entitled to perfect protection. If
the State Governments won't give it
there must be a power somewhere that
will give it. We look afier a man who
s nit more than half a citizen, whom
a foreign Government oppresses, and
ajl the power of this great nation i3 put
to 'Work to protect that man, he may
perhaps have only declared his inten
tior, tot become a citizen but all
tbeCeanuon and all the force wc
command is employed for liis protection.
Our Government must have the power
to "protect its own people at home as
well as abroad. So I said a year ago
last spring- Let the President tell us
what sort of legislation he needs to
tmt down these Ku-Klax, and I will
Lack him out to the full extent. He
said what he needed. Laws were
passed, and after all they did not work.
You have cot heard of any serious
Ku-Klux outrages since those acts were
passed. Sinpc those acts were passed
a' year and a half ago, nobody lus
heard of any serious outrages there,
though there have been trials in one
of two States, especially in North
Coroliua, yet they are trials of offences
pommitted two 6r three years ago, long
before the act was passed. So the
work' was done. The Ku-Klux
conspiracy was crushed out by the act
of ' Congress, and although outrages
Recurred in a very narrow district of
territory, they discredited and damaged
all the Southern people who may be
suspected of any sympathy with those
who made the outrages that was done
but still there remained that other
element of discord and discontent at
the South which was called 1 ho carpet
bag thieves. WIk-ii thev .went into the
South with our urates, a number off
threwd, unscrupulous ujcm, undertook j
to make themselves rich out of the
property and misery of the vanquished
South. They made themselves special
leaders and champions of the black
people there; they organized Union
Leagues and other secret societies, of
which tho first effect was to combine
all the black men of the South in a
consolidated phalanx, and thus give tho
direction, real government, and
management of these black men to
these white leaders who were called
carpet baggers ; So then they nominated
those for ofHcc,an J they made themselves
Governors and Congressmen, and
Secretaries, and soon they, through tho
machinery of legislation, using simple,
ignoraut, negroes, some as legislators,
and there commenced measures of
gigantic robbery. In the first place
they made for themselves great
salaries, such as the poor Southern
States were unable to pay, and they
pretended to start a great many internal
improvements, and issued bonds in
behalf or in aid of those improvements,
and they contrived to steal the bonds,
sell them for the most they could get,
make no improvements, and leave the
States, wai'Wasted and desolate before
overwhelmed with debt. I doubt
whether these debts ever can be paid,
and I am sure there is very little
disposition to pay them among the
people who own the property of the
South. They regard them as frauds,
simple iniquity imposed upon them,
and the charges unjust burden they
cannot bear. I app,elend that if they
were to sell cut all the property in
South Carolina to-day, it would uot
very much more than pay these .'pre
tended debts which have been inposcd
upon her by the carpet-baggers who
rule the negro legislators. Some of
them negroes, and all of them being
without property, were without proper
responsibility. There U na element of
discord and hatred, and a general;
belief ou the part tS the Southern
people that we of the North sent these
villiaus down tlwira to rob them, and by
t niranehUiug the blacks, and ether
measures of reconstruction, we have
delivered these people bound hand and
foot iuto the clutches of these corrupt
carpet-baggers, to be robbed at their
mercy. Now let me try to give you
m illustration of the way the thing
works. Men soy suppose they do steal,
what can we do ahout it ? You mttend
to be in favor of local self government
they have gut if, and tbce Imial telf-gov-ornmcut
authorities are the rebels
What are you going to do about it? I
will tell you of a .case. In the year
1808 the State ol Arkansas, among
other States, was reconstructed under
our I.'-epublicau ifgin'ation. Thoy
reconstructed a very large portion
f her people; probably one half of tlie
whole people being disfranchised, not
allowed to vote; that is, the poor whites,
whom they regarded of no account,
voted, while property holding whites
were disfranchised, and allowod no
voice in the administration of their
Government. So, then, Powell Clay
ton a Kansas man, who came in there
as a commander of a regiment of our
soldiers, or else following in their wake
and one of the leaders of the carpet
bag crowd,was elected Gov. of the Stale
The Constitution then prescribed that
ail whom Congress had disfranchised
should be .denied the right to vote.
Well, Congress pruceded very properly
though tardily, to take off this dis
franchisement, so that the ninety-five
or uinet-ninc, certainly ninety-five
out of every hundred of those who
had been disfranchised as Hebe Is were
re-eufrauchiiied, by Congress but the
carpet-baggers said no. Congress has
nothing to do with it Our State Consti
tution, which we framed iu 18Gii,disf ran
chii'.ed these uxcu whom Congress
had there disfranchised. Now Congress
takes off the ban : we
uo
i
not. We
are going to keep them tiht. They
appoint this Governor Clayton; ho
appoints the Roatel of Registration, for
every county, and from the decisions of
of that Hoard there is no appeal, and
they put in the registry just whoever
they please. I met thirty or fotty
citizens of Arkansas in Louisvillo two
or three days ago, and they told me
that over 20,000 of the property-bold-crs
and land owners of Atkausas were
now disfranchised, kcpt.off the register;
not that the laws require so many, but
where the laws did not, the Register
did. They had the powef, and they
would put on such as they chose, and
no more ; and when they found they
were not going to get the majority
without striking oil, they would strike
off, so as to have the vote kept right,
That is tho government under which
the people to-day are living there. The
land holders ouiiht to be enfranchised
but they arc disfranchised by the carpct-
bng Government; wuca mean ty cause
the Electorial vote of the State against
the people of the State, by keeping a
large part of the people disfranchised
and at the late Grant State Convention
it was solemnly resolved that none of
these people disfranchised should be
allowed to vote this fall. After that
they would see about it. Let me tell
you how is opperatcs. In the year
1870 they had their second election,
under tho State Government, not for
Governor,1 but for Legislature aud
Congress. Powell Clayton, tho Gov.
of tho State, controller of all this elec
tion machinery, appointed the Register
all over the State, and was a candidate
for United States Senator. It was a
safe thing. He would bo elected under
that system first making all the Reg
isters aud then putting on just as many
voters as they saw fit. Suppose you
have e title to be on the registry, they
will not put you ou, aui you cannot get
on, and there is no remedy for it.
There is another hitch beyond that :
Powel Clayton, Governor, aud his
subordinates are the State Roard of
Canvassers, with absolute power to
reject whatever votes they see lit, aud
bring out such a result as they choose.
So then, it appeared, when the Legisla
ture was chosen, that it was largely
Republican, yet Mr Clayton had not
got control of it enough to elect him
for the Senate, lie has to throw out
votes as President of the Hoard of
Cauvassers. He discards these votes,
those that he please, so as to briug in
the candidate that he pleases. For
instance, in one county there was an
anti-Claytoo ticket. He throws votes
out, three-fourths of the Republican
vote, lie throws oat these and brings
in the Democratic ticket, rather than
I avo the Republican ticket elected
which was against him; so he goes
through like this, and makes out u
Clayton majoiity, which elects him to
the Senate. Rut iu doing this, you
understand that you cannot nject th
vots cast fr e-r.e oiTiccr, an V't omit the
votes cast by the same voters fir auoth
r rffker. That is perfectly plain.
If yiw ieeide that this poll is not a
leal poll, you have got to throw it out
fur all purposes. So Mr. Clayton
throws out the votes of the Republi
cans there, because tJiey were electing
anti-Clayton ticket, and thereby defeats
Thomas Bowles, Republican candidate,
and elects John Edwards, the Demo
cratic candidate. John Kdwards
com forward with a certificate as
good as anybody. Mr Rowles don't
like it. People generally don't, lie
lie goes and cunfe.-ts the election, and.
with abundance of testimony, proves
that these votes of hi, thruwu out for
the sake of electing Clayton, were not
rightfully thrown out, and a Committee
of the lloiu'o of representatives takes
he case up, considers it from top to
bottom, and hay unanimously, without
a dissenting voice, tho people elected
Rowles. He must have the vote ; so
that on tho vote it goes up to the
House, which, by an equally unanimous
vote says the same thing, and Rowlcs is
cut in. It wa3 not because he wn? a
Republican, because they fought just
he same thing in Texas, where they
turned out Win. T. Clark, a Republi
can, and put iu 1). C. (biddings, a
Democrat, because he was elected by a
good majority, and there was not a
dissenting voice in the Committee or
in the House. So then you see you
arc not resting ou my story about Mr.
Clayton and his government.. Here is
a unanimous decision of tho Committee
on Flections, that Mr. Clayton had
fraudulently returned the votes, and
had returned tho mau not elected ;
then ousted the man who was elected.
This is not a .statement, but a conclu
sion by tho highest authority. Well,
geutlemen, the Federal Court was con
vened and held a session two or three
months after these outrages, of which
I tell you, by Clayton and his board, and
the Grand .Jury of that court, examined
into these facts and indicted Powell
Claytou and his confederates for this
crime. Mr. Catlcrson, appointed byj
General Grant, as good a Republican I
as ever lived, was goint: to put Mr.
CI;yton through, and the State's Prison
was before him ; but now Claytou and
i his sa ellites walked on to Washinyton,
and induced General Grant to remove
that righteous and faithful District
Attorney, put one of Clayton'o tools in
his place, and that is the end of the
j prosccutiou. That was the end of
the whole thing, all gone to rack
I and ruin. Mr. Clayton goes swiming
into the United States Senate instead
j 0f into the State's Prison. You are
j asked what the Government has to do
about it 'I I will tell you. Thoy all
back themselves riht on the power at
j Washington. They all cry out,
."Hurrah for Grant; give him two
'terms." Give him twenty terms if you
like. These othor fellows are disloyal.
They are one torni men. Put them
out, they say ; turn them out and put
in these men who will stand by Clayton
and his board, and it is done.
I want you to see that this thing
goes all back on .you. People of the
United States, you are sustaincrs of
these iniquities. If we had a Govern
ment in Washington which frowned
upou the evils, that Government would
stop all this business in a short time.
Applause. The men who are robbing
South Carolina to-day would be on a
dead race out of that Stato two days af
ter they had heard that another Gov
ernment was about to be installed at
Washington, just as Rullock, of Geor
gia, resigned aud ran away ; so these
men would all get out if they did not
feel that the mighty arm of the Feder
al Govcuerment was outstretched for
their protection and defence. It is
agaius-t this iniquity tbat we fight.
The villains who corrupt clectious In
Arkansas are all shouting for Grant,1
shouting and working for him, and theyj
are gaming immunity lor their crimes.
Fellow citizens, I do not know what
will be the decision of the people in
the contest now before us. Everybody
else is confident that what they wish
will be the result. I only know that
if the people could look into these
wicked Governments at the South, and
sco them as they are, they would no
longer be sustained by the public
sentiment of the North. I know that,
and I believe that light is creeping in
Two thirds of your journals have never
told the eople what the truth is about
these cartt-bag villiatrs. They sup
press tue facts. J hey conceal the
:
facts, and, as a censtquence, the people
do not undcr-tand to day. They pay
what rceoiiciliation do you want '
Thy say wcj are reconciled. What
more do you want? Now, I am not
reconciled to have such robbers govern
the States. I want to be reconciled
I want Governments that honest men
can affjrd to be reconciled to. 1
plead for t ('conciliation. The South
ern people have greatly sinned, in my
judgment, and have greatly suffered
I have a fricird who went down to
South Carolina aud spcot some time
there aud came back. He is a very
zealous Republican, and he said that
he had seen many things that he did
not like. He aid . " I saw a man who,
when the secession began, was living iu
Paris on an allowance from his father
of $25,000 a year. He is now clerk to
a negro assessor in Chaileston at 82 a
day, and mighty glad to get it." Now,
such things do take place, and I do
think that the people have suffered a
good deal. 1 think that it is time that
a geacrous hand was outstretched to
aid them. 1 think it is time tint the
Northern people should say : "Country
men of the South, wo have insisted
that all the blacks shall be enfran
chised, and they have been enfran
chised. Now, then, we insist that you
shall all be enfranchised likewise."
There arc twenty thousand disfran
chised this day in Arkansas, and the
only hope of carrying that State for
Grant is to keep them disfranchised
That is one of their purposes to keep
them disfranchised ; aud all over the
South there are such iniquities as this,
I think, hiding f rom the light. Now,
then, wc want th Northern people to
say to the South, to those who have
been our enemies : "Let us forget the
past; let us come together on one com
moo platform. We wipe out all dis
franciuscment, all proscriptions ; stand
with us on a common platform of
nationality, equal rights, equal law for
all the people, and let us all again take
hold and push forward this mighty
Republic on its career of greatness and
prosperity." This is what I think the
people ought to see iu this election, and
make the Southern people feel that,
though they have been very wrong,
that we have forgotten all that wrong,
and are now prepared to take hold
with them, and to carry forward the
destinies, to promote and advance tho
greatness and glory of this country as
one united fraternal people To that
end 1 labored ; that end 1 seek, and I do
believe that that movement, the
Cincinnati movemeut," of which I am
the exposition and symbol before you,
is calculated to produce that end. To
secure the end, I am individually noth
ing, but, that movement was right, and
r- I I T I
was not a moment too soon. ( ;ppiauso.j
I implore the people to take cure and
reach it successfully aud triumphantly.
Three cheers.
Be industrious and faithful, young
man, and a bright future will nwait
you. Many a poor young mau with
only a little crow-bar and a good deal
of skill has opened a bank.
