SPEECH OP STUART TAYLOR,
We call special attention tc the
speech printed below on this page, and
ask every Republican in the County to
read it carefully, ftnd then determine
whether or not, he can answer his con
science, bv co'nir to the polls on next
Tuesday and depositing his ballot for
Grant.
Fellow Citzens Standing here
to night, I do so with no trembling
limbs, no timid heart, no faltering
tongue, because the voice of the people
of tour States in our Uiiion have no'
been raised as loudly as we hoped they
would be in their recent local election,
iu favor of the candidates who professed
tur principles, and stood steadfast
under our banner. Far te it from tue.
fir, to grow pale and cowardly, and
desert my colors; as flics the hound
from the caresses of the belaboring
whip, because we have not been
gratified as we had reason to suppose
we would be. We must expect some
reverses in the preliminary skirmishes
. along the the lin:s. Onr pickets way
be driven in ; our advanced guards may
be captured ; but what is thief to a
brave army ; The grand battle, sir,
where legion after legion shall be seut
in upon the field, is yet to c:me ; and
these puny bugle whistle and hoodlum
drum beats nf the foe, strike no panic
to our ranks ; for behind us, comes the
serried lines of the people of all the
States, who, like an avenging Achiles,
conquering and slaying like the arch
genius of Combat, round the walls of
Troy, pres their standards on to victory.
Falter not j faiut not by the wayside !
Let each one of us stand up to the full
height of his manhood, and work white
there is yet day ! A nation's life
demands a nation's Providence; and
we will find that in the asbes of a few
defeats will yet be stirred our wonted
fires, and their flames rise, Phoenix-like
to J ove.
Knowing the justice of our cause, sir,
we choose rather to deal in truth than
fiction j and, inasmuch as for us the
clouds may have looked threatening,
we know that darker is the day before
the dawn; and after the firccst of God's
storms the brightest hues of bis rainbow
paint themselves on the6k y as a promise
ot fairer weather. Sa will it bo in
November.
In response to the complimentary
invitation with which you honored me.
X sianu iierc wuigiu, not io tell you
anything novel or sinking; not to
defame with vulgar abuse, President
Grant; but simply to join my voice in
eaiucni uuiovu nuu iuw ui lilt UOiC
gentleman already addressed you in
behalf of our common cause ; and to
add my feeble words or encouragement
to theirs, as a staunch believer and
defender of our faith.
We come here to try and do goodireprc
ficnting all political beliefs and
parties ; and yet, io tfea interest of no
jt'triy, no atfion ; in ine interest ot an
almost obsolete Conslnulional Law in
the interest of a progneising purity ; in
the interest of fraternal feeling ; iu the
interest of Peace,and a brighter, broader
civilization; iu the interest of two, tried
tud trusted men ; two, liberal, generous
liearts two wise and feitile brain ; in
lli tarvirftf i, 4, .... ... .if
.VH.V Mnwiiusioi jour stout, strong
hands, that on and after the 4th day of
next March, shall bear aloft, in plain
eight of all our countrymen, the
standard of' Ileforra, on which the
words of our motto appear io living
letters of blazing light. "In America,
Peace, good will to all the States ;" and
this in the interest of lloraco Greeley
and Gratz Brown. "
I stand h;re in no partisan spirit.
What I utter, I utter because I believe
it to be true. This is the second polit
ical speech I ever made iu my life; and
a stem sense oi fiiity, that should
grapple itself with hooks of steel to the
hearts of every American citizen,
constrained me to espouse the cause
whose princiyles I now advocate. .
Gentlemen, we are abused now by
our adversaries, because they formed
no conception o: the gigantic size to
which our ranks would 6well. or the
immense power we could wield, and a
great fear has siezed upon them that
they are to be conquerei in this combat
and made to disgorgejtheir'spoils. They
fear the axe of the Chappaqua farmer
is about to be laid at the foot ot the
Tree of Corruption, which has been to
them so long a boon, and with one
accord they fling aloft their arms, and
cry, 14 Oh, Woodman spare that Tree
touch not a single bough, for years it's
sheltered us we would protect it now !
No, never, we have buckled on our
armor in sober earnest now, and are
marching for purer legislation, justcr
laws, a rapid reconciliation of opposing
elements, the healing of wounds, which
long years ago should have been
staunched, the unearthing of federal
corruption, the plucking away with
strong hands and relentless fingers the
foul sores on our body politic, end the
regeneration and recreation of our
whole country. We have in our midst
as you, too well.know, alas, from both
partii'6--lle publicans and Democrats
a set of Leches called men, upon whose
snake like nicaky features no God has
ever stamped his likeness and set the
seal of manhood. These, in all their
hideous deformity, we would rest from
their sheltered nooks in the lap of
the nntioo, whose life-blood they are
druiuing. and connign them to the
executioner. To the vultures and the
coudois of the air, sceuting carrion in
in every breath, belong this clatjs of
men, who arc robbing our Treasuries,
filching from our widows aud orphans,
left desolate and Buffering when " the
blood-i ed blossom of war, with its heart
of fire;" swept over our land. Flung
iu their path-way even, I doubt not
these foul and noisome birds would
reject the unsavory morsal ! Now, as
we are to-night, my fellow citizens, to
discuss, in a friendly way, the state of
affairs in our midst, if you will bear
with mc, I will as briefly as possible
review our record lor the past lew
years, and leave it to your calm, dis
passionate judgment, whether we have
reason to demand a change in the man
agement of our Government, or not.
The records of the war will be em
blazoned by some future historian in
letters which win burn, and each prom,
incut character will get his just deserts.
The civil crown was accepted by Gen.
Grant. And if there be any ardent
admirer here to-night of his military
genius any warm friend who intends
to cast his vote in November to continue
him in office will he tell me truly if
he thinks the head of the wearer was
adapted to the honor that was placed
upon it; and u he can advance ai
strong arguments to prove his idol a
statesman as we can to prove him a
political failure, I wish we could meet
upon this platform day after day until
the election, with Our friends on the
othcrside, who support Graut, in calm,
deliberate arguments man to man.
Tn his inaugural address General
Grant used these words : " 1 accept
the responsibility of the position without
fear ; bhades of Washington, Jeflcr
son, Madison and Adams, what say ye to
this ? He accepted the gigantic trust
confided to his care without fear
What a mockery is this ! An inspire
poet said over two centuries ago "Fools
rush in where angels fear to tread."
Brave Grant, LIE had no fear; ho would
take this great land of ours as a hired
nurse accepts the situatioa to tend the
puling babe, give it milk when hungry,
fondle it when the notion struck him,
spank it when occasion required ! Now
let us see how this babe has been taken
care of by our fearless friend. During
the Administration of Mr. Johnson,
General Grant, then commanding our
armief, was seut by tho Government
on a, special uiaaion throughout the
Southern States, that 1?. might see and
converse with the peopla, ad j,udge
for himself whether those who had
been in rebellion had accepted tho
situation, and were readj to do their
. . 1 " '
dutv as citizens of the Union. ' Ho was
thtro some time,
When he returned
President that the
in a proper spirit
he reported to the
Southerners hud
conformed themselves to the laws of the,
land: that they were in no rebellious
spirit, but suffering from direst poverty,
and, in fact,whero completely crushed in
hearts and hopes, and possessed nothing
but their desolated fields and pleasant
climate. This was made upon his word
-mm ! . i til II
as a soldier, xuonms roued on. lie
delivered hia inaugural, and its most
memorable phrase i was "Let us have
peace." I have no doubt his intentions
were good, and that he truly desired to
rule that broken section with a gener
ous band.: But at the earliest possible
oportunity his promises were violated,
and listening to the foul lies of un
principled men who, dispised and
abandoned in their own homes, had
gone South to pray like so many harpies
on its vitals, and also succumbing to
the influence of a frantic Congress, he
let loose upon the very places he had
favorably reported upon, his cavalry,
and artillery, and infantry, and by a
rule of force attempted to coerce into
the favor of Radical measures the
entire people, lie appointed to office
numbers of his own relatives in direct
opposition to the rules laid down by his
best and wisest predecessors. Iteview
the careers of General Washington,
Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, Adams
indeed, of all our Presidents down to
the present day, and you will discover
each and all almost invariably declined
to appoint their own relatives to office.
And we have on record several letters
from Washington, Madison and Ad
ams, wherein they with great delicacy
declined to accede to the relatifcs in
this respect. But we might pardon I
our President if his kin were men of
ability Not one now holding office can
be so considered. IIo accepted gifts,
which action in men of lesser rank
would have been considered as takiug
bribes, and almost all who have show
ered these presents on him have been
h onored with public office. Bv
his arbitrary will and order that
sacred writ of personal liberty, th
Habeas Corpus has been suspended.
We are told we must vote for the
authors of this outrage : that we must
continue in power and pat on the head
that despotic party which has plarcd
at the mercy of the 1 'resident, by un
constitutionally suspending this writ,
the liberty of every human being in
our Republic ! Federal interference
has been used in State elections, and
almost at the point of the bayonet
they have carried, and no remou
from the military genius who said
"Let us have peace." An armed ves
sel of war has been use to carry away
from Louisiana members os the Legis
lature in order to deprive it of a quo
rum. No remonstrance lrem Grant,
and his brother-in-law who gave the
villainous command still holds his
office there. What a glorious govern
ment to vote for I Flections have been
earricd bv threatening the officers cf
the Administration with fines and
imprisonment if the wishes of the
man. who. from his acts, might bo
9 9 - w
considered as God's vice gerent on
earth, were not obeyed! Oh 1 let us
embrace this magnificent Administra
tion ! It has bent all its vast energy to
deprive the States of the South of
local self-government, and to concen
trate all powor in the hands of Congress
and the President. It has stooped so
low as to discharge frotu office laborers
iu arsenals and navy yards because they
cast their ballots in accordance with
the dictates of their own judgment !
What a beautiful government thus to
crack its party whip over the shoulders
of poor iudustrious men, because God
gave them j consciences ! Such treat
meut is worse to these hard-working
men who have families to support than
the rack of the thumb-screw! This
immaculate and humane administration
has marched like sheep to tho shambles
other poor laborers to tho polls in scr-
i ried ranks and made them vote marked
tickets unaer me very eyes oi govern
ment agents! Oh! this delicious
peace making administration 11 The
accounts of our Treasury have been so
j,uuiblcd up iu iuxcusablv cou fusion that
no man can tell the aaiouat of the
public debt, or our early expenses.
Are you satisfied, men of San Francisco
with tho conduct of foreign affairs
wherein the policy of tho government
has been reversed even from its foun
dation, a policy that fvaored tho
entension and not the restriction ot the
rights of neutral nations ? Have the
insults Spain has heaped upon us been
properly repelled ? Have we followed
Ujo instincts of our Republican institu
tions and favored the Independence of
Luba that sita a. sorj-gwiij queen upou
her throne "of beauty in the midst of the
seas, and stretches out her hands to us
for protection ? Were not the plainest
provisions of statue law rudely viola--ted
jwhen the Government permitted
theM sale; of: arms to theiFrench in
their war with. the Germans? Presi
dent Grant wanted San Domingo, but
could not get' it, and because Senator
Sumner opposed ' his act which was
contrary to law, he stabbed him io the
backhand now the Radicals cry out be
cause Sumner does not, lend his aid to
elect an unconstitutional ruler. To
obtain from the tyrant Baez the sale of
the island in direet opposition of Her
law. President Grant treadiug under
foot OUR Constitution, assumed the war
making power and employed our naval
forces to uphold this would be vendor
of his country, and to menace the
friendly Republic of Haiti! Oh! what
an honorable administration this has
been. God knows we love such honor-
ablo men ! Are they many men in
this ward thoroughly satisfied with the
manner in which our political affairs,
at home and abroad hzvt been managed?
If not, can Radical chains keep them
silent! Can they not throw of the
trammels of party and expose the cause
of a movement that embraces the whole
country in its principles !
Look at the way in which the money
matters of the nation have been cared
for ! The peculations aud defalcations
occurring during the reigu of our
President, arc unequalcd in the history
of America. They amount to millions
of dollars. And my Republican
friends, if they are prcent, a Commit
tee of Iu? estigation, appointed to
inquire into the management of the
L-tviI fccrvice composed oi your own
Republican party, reported to the
President last December, "that it is
calculated by those who made a careful
study of the facts, that one-fourth of
the revenues of the United States are
annually tost in the collection, and for
a large part oi that loss a syetem of
the btrvico which ii fatally unsound
may reasonably be he'd responsible."
These are the words of your own
Republican Committee ! And yet no
barrier is placed iu the way of these
robbers and these irirantic swindles.
When Grant chooses to raie his
clcuchcd hand aud put a stop to things :
personalty annoying, he can do it.
It seems to mo when he is not
concerned that hand hangs by his side
paralyzed and dead.
Now how is it. that when Liberal
Republicans and Deuiucrats use their i
voices and their pens to cry aloud
agaitkst this official rascality that
appropriates for its own nefarious ends,
about $100,000,000 of Govern went
funds annually J that the members of
the parly iu power fight with might
and main to stem the current of their
influence, and hurl in their faces the
vilest abuse ? It is because, sir, the
promise made by the President, when
he was honored with the civic Crown,
to hold his office but for one term and
to decline a re-election, has been
broken up ; aud he now uses the vast
political machinery of the Government,
as no other Chief magistrate has done
a 1 i
since America negan ner glorious
course, to keep him in his lofty place.
tor this reason the Radicals in
Congress have trampled under foot all
measures introduced by patriotic and
wise men, looking to a correction of
existing evils.
To effect the President's re-election
becatno the chief aim of the Adminis
tration ; aud the means chiefly relied
on were these very men who had been
so purity these trained bands of office
holders equally interested in the
perpetuation of his power. To expose
to the broad blaxe of tbe tight of day,
the base acts of the guilty, among these
political soldiers, would be to crush
their ranks and their influences, and
shock the whole nation by an oflieia!
turpitude hitherto undreamed of.
Without their aid, how could their
Ca?sar enjoy the luxury of a second
term, and they rc-iusert their itching
palms iu the full measure ot the public
pap?
Nothing vas done, therefore, to
arrest this flow of national disgrace ,
and we behold a spectacle that should
be humiliating to every lover of his
country tho spectacle of some
of tbese very men., marching from one
end of the land to ibe other, besprink
ling with tleir nauweoiw praise the
reeking, rankliag eotrupiioa they
themselves kave fattened on. ; aud
shouting aloud for their retention in
office, and; Civil service Reform,!;
Civil-service Reform, indeed, sirl
Civil service Reform by such as they.
Why, sir, take a single example of
figures. At the little town of Now-
