HORATIO SEYMOUR ON HANCOCK.
The following extract is from Horatio
Seymour's great speech at Utica.
Gen. Hancock bowa to the decrees of
the Constitution. He accepts its teach
ings, he is irahued with its faith; its terms
to him are sacred ; his earnestness shines
out in every line; and when he swears to
support the Constitution in its setter and
spirit we know he means to do so. Those
w uv ui wau it. not omy enose ntung
.wftfrds to tell its meaning, but patriotism,
like if ligion, has its symbols. No flag
which &ats in the wind of heaven tells
so much as ours of the history and charac
ter of the Government it represents.
Its stripes recall the names of the States
which fought the battle which gave us
liberty, and which crowned their glorious
work by forming our Union. The States
are numbered .j the stars that glitter
upon its blue field. He who would
strike one star from its place or who
would blend or blur these symbols, so
that they would tell only of obscure
nationalism has latent treason in his
heart
We are asked why we took a soldier
for our standard bearer? To whom can
we intrust it with more safety than to
' one who has had its deep and grani sig
nificance burnt into hia very baing by the
fires of battle fields t
There is not a color upon it8 folds,
there is not a stripe upon its emblazonry,
there is not a star upon its azure ground,
that has not been made sacred by hiai.
The appeal which drew hira and hia fel
low soldiers from their hoce to the bat
tle field was to rally around the stars and
stripes and to uphold tLz Ur.ion. They
will never make our fhg an unmeaning
thing; they will see to it that it remains
true emblem of the spirit o our Con
stitution. By the jieople'w vote Gen.
Hancock will bear this standard on to
victory in tLis contest as he has hereto
fore done en the bloody fields of battle.
He has learned from it the grand purpose
ot tne Constitution by teachings amid all
the solemn lessons of war. By the in
spirations of the battle field, by the sad
sad solum aspect of the bloodstained
srth and the dying groans of men when
the struggle has ended. He has learned
the great lesson of statesmanship, not
aiaia soenes ot party strife, not in an at
mosphere tarnished by personal ambition
or scheme of plunder, but where Wash
ington and Jackson learned the lesson of
duty to their country and of obedience to
us laws ana Constitution. It is now
charged by our opponents that we are in
consistent when we place a soldier at the
head of the government The propriety
of doing this depends upon the character
of the man and the nature of the service
upon which he has been engaged. The
general who has fought only for victory
or a conquest, or has been engaged only
to promote schemes of ambition or to
gratify feelings of hate has been taught
upon the battlefield only If ssons of force
amd violence. But those who have dared
the perils of war to free their country of
oppression, to gain for it an independent
government, to resist hostile invasion or
t uphold it against resistance to its
rightful authority, have their mind filled
with objects instructive, ennobling and
patriotic.
. iuu liiicuecw qmcKened by all the
dangers and excitement of the strife thev
see more clearly than other men the value
f obedience to laws and the duty of
sacrificing all things for their country's
ington learned the grand duty of laying
good. It was at this school that Wash
down his sword and retiring to private
life when the world thought he would
claim a crown as his reward. This act
so constantly referred to in other lands
a well as our own gave him his immor
tality. It was in the same school under like
influences tnat in the hour cf victory
Jackson curbed and restrained his fiery
spirit and submitted to injustice and in
dignity because it was imposed upon him
by a legal tribunal. ,
If ratted to the Preside icy I A-iWtf deem
it my duty to resui, with all rtj po wer any
attempt to impair w evade the ftdl force
and effect of the Coutiiuic avWA in
every article, taction and amendment is
the tupreme law of tht Iii-Wf ;-:
Scott Hancock.
Ho who Jas leaned ts yy rightful
authority, has been taught tie great les
son which fits him to exercu authority.
Hs who reverences the laws of his coun
try is the right man to administer them.'
He who has proved his devotion to its
interests is the one to whom we can most
safely trust the work of guarding and
protecting them. Therefore we placed
kirn in nomination, and go into this con
sst with the firm faith that we shall ele
aU him to the position of President of
these United States.
NATIONAL PLATFORM,
ADOPTED BY THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
The Democratic party of the United States
in convention assembled, declare:
First We pledge ourselves anew to tie
constitutional doctrines and traditions of the
Democratic party as illustrated by the teach
ing and examples of a long line of Democrat
ic statesmen and patriots, and embodied
in the last national eenvention of the party.
Second Opposition to centralization and
that dangerous spirit of encroachment which
tends to consolidate the powers of all the de
partments in one, and thus to create, what
ever be the forms of government, a real den-
otism; no sumptuary laws; separation of
cnureu and btate for the good of each; com
mon schools to be fostered and protected.
Third Horn e rule, honest money, th
strict maintenance of public faith, consisting
ot gold, silver and paper convertible to coin
on demand; the strict maintenance of the
public faith, State and national, and a tariff
for revenue onlv.
Fourth the subordination of the military
to the civil power, and a general and thor
ough reform of the civil service.
Fifth Right to a free ballot as the right
preservative of all rights, and must and shall
be maintained in every part of the United
States.
Sixth The existing ad minis traton is repre
sentative ot conspiracy only, and its claims
of right to surround the ballot boxes with
troops and deputy marshals, to intimidate
and obstruct the elections, and by unprece
dented use of the vote to maintain its cor
rupt and despotic power, insults the people
and imperils their institutions.
Seventh The great fraud of 1876, ;by
which, upon a false count of the electoral
vote of two States, the candidate defeated at
the polls, was declared to be President, and
fur the first time in American history, the
will of the people was set aside under the
threat of military violence, struck a deadly
bluw at oui system of representative govern
ment. The Democratic party, to preserve
the country from the horrors of a civil war,
submitted for the time, in the firm and pat
riotic faith that the people would punish this
crime in 1880. This issue precedes and
dwarfs every other. It imposes more sacred
duty upon the people of the Union than was
ever addressed to the conscience of a nation
Of freedmen.
Eighth We execrate the course of this ad
ministration in making places for political
criminals, and demand a reform bv statute
which shall make it forever impossible for a
defeated candidate to bribe his way to the
seat of a usurper by villainies upon the peo
ple. Ninth The resolution of Samuel J. Tilden
not again to be a candidate for election, the
exalted plaoe to which he was elected by a
majority of hfs countrymen, and from which
be was excluded by the leaders of the Re
publican party, is received by the Democrats
of the United States with sensibility, and
they declare their confidence in his wisdom
and patriotism and integrity, unsullied by
the assault of the common enemy, and they
turtlier declare to him that he is followed
into the retirement he has chosen for himself
by the sympathy and respect of his fellow-citizens,
who regard him as one who, by ele
vating the standard of public morality and
adorning and purifying the public service,
merits the lasting gratitude of his conntry
and his party.
Tenth Free ships and a living chance for
American commerce on the sea and on the
land, no discrimination in favor of transpor
tation lines, corporations or monopolies.
Eleventh Amendment of the Burlingame
Treaty; no more Chinese immiaratinn ercen
for travel, education and foreign commerce,
ana therein carefully guarded.
Twelfth Public money and public credit
for public purposes solely, and public lands
for actual settlers,
Thirteenth The Democratic party is the
friend of labor and the laboring man, and
pledges itself to protect him alike against
the cormorants and the commune.
Fourteenth We congratulate the country
upon the honesty and drift of the Democrat
ie Congress which has reduced the public ex
penditures to $40,000,000 a year; upon the
continuation of prosperity at home and the
national honor arboad, and above all upon
the promise of such a change in the adminis
tration of this government as shall insure its
genuine lasting reform in every department of
the public service.
