Has the policy of the Republican party satisfied your demands on either t IVoices, "No, no." BUTHoSPBCTIoy. . Let me recall to you the retrospect of a few years. We were told that the object of war was toenforco the constitution and to malutain the Union. Mr. Lincoln told us so in his inaugural address. Mr. Sew ard told us so in his dispatches to foreign ministers, and in his invitations to Senators and members to return and occupy the seats they had left. Congress told ua so in lis resolutions aud laws. Every recruiting ollicer who desired to be colonel of new regiment every candidate who desired to hold oflloe-rtcld u i so. It was this inspir ing thought of devotion to tho constitution and tho Union the o!d costitution which Washington and Fraaklio and lladis.iu made, the old Uuiou waich was tho bjn 1 of peacu (br seveuty years which brought volunteers to out rank), aud collected that mighty host under whoso tread tho very continent seemed to shake. Th'S was con turned till the very end of the war. Whoa Mr. Lincoln mot the Southern commission, eis at Fortress Mour .4, iu the spring of D-C5, ho expressly declared to them that be only required that they should lay d wa their aims, reo guize Uia abolition of si a. very, aud return to the Union ; that uo nth. er coud.tion should he demand id. We wero lold that Illegal force iinmired tho is. laliousof the States to each other ; that tho liuce must be removed, and the relations would ol IhemsidvBS be restored. The wir was brought to a cl mo. Johnston surreojeiel lo Sberraaa. Tlio laa man laid down his arms. Tue last arm was giv en up. The !uu government were men iu full operation and vigor ; lliey had ru n:l! ncd uuchangod ; They performed all riu lunctiousuf government in the preser vation of civil society. Some of the oflioe holders had lied; anna had liocu killed; some were liable lo Indictment and punish incut; bill the form of goverumeul wire teie, and the Suta 'ooinlitutiom ' re ui binding as ihuy ever had been. Gun. sl fhvrmaa c.irhxi oui to tlieir legal conclusion lUe principles upou which lbs war was commenced, lie conquered ar. nues, bo satkluod hostile l"jice. Ho vtli with his sworil the knot whith tied the Stales of the Confederacy togt)mr : and liaving r-etshlibed their lelaliou to the Union, he said lo his prisouora, "Uo to your liouie iu peace." This was Union this was pesce this was enforcing the Constitution this was main taining lue Uuiou this was eiecu;in Fed eral law, while il uiaiutaineil lbs right aud powers and dignities of the State uniinpar ed. This was a lilting conclusion of the war. Il asserted Stiermau's ability as a stales, inau to be equal lo his vigor a a soldier. The terms of that pacification will remain, lor all lime, the im.miuieut of his wisdom, aud lorosight, ud moderation, lis rejuc. liou ha heeu the source of mauy trou'iles. liut the 1'residcui ol the United States, aud tlie party which elected him, were 11 H sal. istied. They annulled its term. They ill. sisled upuo the appointment of Provisions! (jovci.,ors ; Dial Uie ordiusuces of .secession should bo repealed; that slavery should be alyolisbed ; tUbt the Coutodoralc debt aliou'.d butlerly repudialud J and proniid thai lb then tho State should be restored to tlmir pKsiiiun in tho Uuiou. All was done. Tho Si. uie were icogwfce 1 lo b ivosutli Cieut Vii& poser to assent lo an amuudiueut ol the Federal Constitution, and lo bind their HopU lor al! time. Congress and tha PreshlBiit Quarrelled, and when Congress niol iu IK so, be had not the power, and Congress Lai not the disposition, lo recog ui.o the rostoratiou of the Union. A chaugo bad oiue over their party scheme vision of power aula revolutionised gov ernmeul had lliticd liofore thoir eye. Applause. Six months elapsed and the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution was pieposjd. You are familiar with it problem. Clt'.ienship in tho in the States was to depend upon the a ill of the Federal Givernnvsnt, not of tho States; tho rn'.a ol representation was be chan jed, so as 10 re. ward the admission of negroes to the elec tee franchise, and lo punish their exclusion. The ban of proscription iu the States w is to bo put upon all who had aided 111 the rebel lion, and to question the validity of the p 'i lil lo debt iu the manner I sh ill da to. night was to be treated as a crlne. Il this were adopted by a vote of thu South, em States these States which now they tell you had committed suicide six years before they halt'.promlsed heir Sctutors and It-Jjiresoutailves should bo admitted lo Congress. Six mouths again elapsed, and anotnor changi ha.l come over ilium. The Ridicals had triumphed. The reconstruc. tion acts were passed. Tlieir Siato Gov. ornments, which bad boon so often Invited to pei form the honest acts, were abolished. Military despotism wore set up iu tlieir stead. The mal'it'juaiic of or loi the iro. lection of life, liberty and property the establishment of new government founded On dill'irent principles wero couruitted to the charge ol a military ollhor, hacked by the sliori sharp process of martial law and drumhead courls-oiartial. Cheers. wuat is sew ruoPosKn. Eighteen months elapse. A Presidential election approaches. All ill J lare. North, eru State show great uueasiuess. Many openly pronounce their defection. Too Radicals are up Irom the re-orgaii.sod States at the South whatever they may loose at the North. They pass a luW regulating the electoral colleges determining what, shall uot be connted in tho olecliou. Thoy de clare that none of the old States are States- thai no ulucloral votes shall be counted ex. ccpt from St'Hos which have been re-organ. iZ'jd since tho soring of l.sd? wlitcti have adopted new cousiitulions which have been admitted to represeutatiou by this Congress.

Applause. TUS m'AV'UL UCKSTION. And have you been better sutlsQe 1 with the management of the finances and taxa tion f The wholo scope of the tliiancial policy of tho Republic in party Is to compel the p'lyuieot of Hits public dubl In coin, and -hi reduce the curronry as that the ooiu will bo most dillkiult to pet, und most valuable to possess. J.s wlmlj Ux itlou policy is to tub.u'diuato labor tsi c ipital, and tho agri cultural labor of the West to the manu'ao turoi of tho Evst. There are outsiaudinj lo.ilay 11 bout s iveuteou hundred million of dollar iu live-twenty bonis. Tiey are payable in legil.toii lor notes. Thj la ays so; the bju 1 says so; Thaldsus S o. vein, cliairman of tbo com'uittee of way and means, said so; Senator S'l'irim.i siy so; Senator M rton says so ; Geu. Scheuck ssysto; the Funding Kill of this Senile ays so ; the Funding liill of the House says so, for both propose to pov iu Iciul.leninr the bsiud jwliicn are not surrender 1 lor long bond al a less interest ; the lieinx ciauo Conventions ia O.i'o and Indiana, and Illinois ami Pennsylvania, and every other Western StMo, siys so; the Nalionul Convention which sat at No Y rk, by a unanimous vole, said -. Y'et tho Republican party, la the face of this concurrent testimony, asserts that these bonds shall be piid In gold, and thus at present-rates add seven hundred millions to the public debt. I know tho Utpublicitu Convention gave out an uncertain sound, but. the.ir speakers and newspipers have Interpreted it und (riven il a meaning. The Qjzelte a-id tho Commercial, di!?-nit,g as thoy sometimes do nu other points, to lite distress ol the faithful and thn scandal of the family, ajtree iu this, thst the Republi can party means piyuont of the five, twenties in gold, and the Democratic puny means payment in preenbacks. 1 agree Willi both of them. That Is just what they mean. The Ua.-ttr says it Is silly to tail; of uisclisrgmg one promise to pay with another p. 010, so to pay. Not at all, if that was the contract, ant it was the contract here. Tlio Government said we will Ksuo legal tender notes ; wo will Jut them la circulation ; wo will take them tor taxes, wo will require everybody to take them for dobts; we enn buy with them every thinir, we need ; we will need a great many ; we will oiler large In ducements to got them; wo will issue our bonis bearing s'n p.r cent, interest iu gold ; wo will sell l Intra al pr In legil tender ; wu will give them Ave years at least to run tweuty years if our necessity requires it as long as they do ruu they shall pay F,ix per cent. Interest In gold. Greenbacks do nrocia'od largely. G ld stood at 1 jtl, 2UD, 3110. The capitalist said, wo will buy theso bouds at titty cents on thu dollar. They will pay us twelve per cent, inlero.t in gold. They are free from taxat ion. They will not be redeemed, at least, lor five years. That will give sixty per cent, of tho whole amount lu live years. Thoy will not bo ro deeiued until the war is over; then green, backs will ho m iru valuable. If g ild stands at 14') per cent, when we aro paid, we will he very well contented. So the capitalist took filly dollars in gold, and with ll bought a hundred dollar bond. He received sit dollars a year interest. He held it live years, and has received thirty dollars in gold. If ho is paid one hundred dollars in greenbacks to-day he can replace his origi nal investui'siit of fifty dollars with suvonty. one dollars la gold. Twelve per cent. In terest in gold aud an increase uf the capital nearly tlfty per cont. Is that very hard ou tli 11 b indholdor, or a very silly bargain, as the Gwlte seems to think f But the Re publican party says that theso bond shall not be paid In greenbacks, and that they shall not be paid at all for forty years. Reduce the interest aud extend tho time 1 No, gentleman, that is not the trua policy. Piy tho debt and stop the interest entirely. Suotio.so you reduce tho interest to four per cent, and extend tho principal for forty years. If your debt should bo 2,6U0,00!), bmi, you would pay 100,000,000 a year. At 1 he end of forty years you would have paid nearly double your debt, aud yet havo tho whole of the prlucipal to be discharged In gold. Forty years! Flow many ot you live that long f How many of your child, reo will have dies! before lhat time t And yet these $100,000,000 a year will be drained remorselessly through all that time from Mm lulsnr 01"" the r.fti.ntry,. Kovty ya.s I Gentiemon, that will mike It a permanent institution. Timn it will never ba paid. Tnon it will be fixed uoon us forever; and, like th'i public debt nf England or Franco, will forever eat out thu substriuca of the penplis for interest, and jirovo the mnst fruit ful source of corruption nnd tyranny. Ap plause And Uhor, which must pay this, brethren, is to be deprived of half its occu pation, or half its wsgis, by tho Republican system of contracting tho currency. Why aro our streets empty i Why have our public and privats improvements boen curtailed f Why have, rents fallen, failures taken place, and why, among laborers especially, this cry of hard times, and difllcnlty in support ing thoir families f Simply because our friends Insist on curtailing the currency, ar.d thus knocking down all prices. In this w.y the gold interest is nude more and more valuable. Gentlemen, are you sat islled with this policy f Voices ' No ! "1 TAXATION.

A g"ntleman from the neighborhood of Cartbsgo, Tenn., givos us some particulars eeiiiiei.ied with tlie recenl discovery of a robber's eavo ou the rl.et- bsnk, a few miles distant from that j.lncu, which have not beeu hitherto published. Uo says the dls- ivery was (1. t rnado I V a party of small l.oys, who were bathing or lishing on ibo bunk of the river opposite the cave. Their attt'iittoa was attracted by seeing baskets lowered by means of ropes from the rocks above. When they observed this, the cbil dr 11 concealed themselves and patiently waleued for further developments. The baskets continued to ascend and desceud, and dually when higl.t was nearly come, a mspieious looking man cunt out of the cave, got into 0110 of tho baskets, and was drawn to the top nf tho precipice. That night the boys imparled this information to men In tho neighborhood, and early the next morning tho place was besieged by persons anxious to it aru something further uhout this most pxtraoi (Unary place. Most of these persons wero armed and ready for any sort if wild aiWenture. Upon removing a pile of sdil logs, a large oponiiij In the rocks was discovered, and into this place a party of the men at onco ventured to go, while others remained outside on watch. Those who went lu found that tho opening led into an ilium use cave, of the existence of which nothing was previously known by tho honest people In that locality. This cavern the men explored but a short dis tance until tlit-y came to a point which had evidently been used at a human habltatioo, and, horrible as it may seem, was still the ' homo of a human creature. After fl nil lug a few Articles of clothing, some washing utensils, a conple of line bud-qullts, a mat tress, and three or four old gnus, they were startled by the groans of a human voice, coming from a dark recess In the cavern. The men determined upon sifting the mystery to its very bottom, went with a light In tho direction of tho sound, aud who can imagine thoir horror upon nud lug tho oniaci.ited and almost lifeless form of a man stretched upon a heap cf straw, and securely tied with ropes. Ho was immedi ately taken from his torriblo prbon-iiouse, nnd conveyed to the residence nf Mr. Oweu Long, throo miles distant from the rave, where he was at once jirovided with medi cal attuutiou, and the nourishments his condition required. As yet It has not been possible to get from him the awful secret of his grave-like prison house. lie speaks but little, and appears to be either unablo or unwilling to give any further account thau is above furnished.

The I'nll Hull Odette, of July 11th. pub lishes a letter from Anthony Trollops, who Is now on a visit to tho United States, In which he opeus a raking fire upon the Ralli ed policy of reconstruct on. Ho exposes its f aud and villainy, and the bypocilsy of the North in regard to negro suffrage. lie says : It nay be as wel'. al Qrst to point otu that iu none of the great Western States can a negro vote at all. Ia Ohio, Indiana, Illi nois and Missouri, none but a white man . vote. . In Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, white men nud Indiana can vote, but never a negro. In tho great Eastern States uegroesaie kept away from the (Kill either practically or by actual rule, la Pennsylvania no black man can vote, lo Now Yorly a negro can vote, but not with out a rs al property qualification and three years' residence. In the States of New England, excepting iu Connectiout, negroes cau vote, but their number is so small as to make their votes of do vosslhle Value. Yet It has been ordained by these victorious Northern States that in tho conquered Southern States all political power given the whites shall be put Into the bauds of a a race of men who yesterday were their slaves. For myself I am prepared toarguo. If it bo needed, that a negro is Dot lilted by bis gifts and nature to exercise political power amidst a community of white men. He continues : The intention Is thst, through the negroes, all political power, both State power and Federal power, shall be to tbo hands of member of Congress from the North that tlie North shall have lis heels 00 the South, an I that the conquered shall be subject to tho conquerors. Never las there been a more tcrrlblo condition imposed npm a ' fallen people. For an Italian to feel art, Austrian over him, for a Pole to feel a Rus sian over him, has been bad indued ; but It ' has b on lofl for the political animosity of a Republican from the North a man who himself rejects all contact with the negro to subject the Iuto Southern slave-owner Lo dominion fiotn the African who was yos teiday his slave. The dungeon chains are knocked oft tho rsp'.he lu oidir that be may lie harnessed as a beast nf burden to the captor's churl d. But It will not be so. There will In these Southern States be a war of races ; hatred from the white mau to the poor, timid, Incapable, unconscious 110. gro ; kullorli.g for both, Infinite suffering for , poor Sauiho, who will gradually begin bis apprl.itud task of disappearing; there will be rapid death of negro children, negro naut and all the following of negro vice ; but tho white nun who lives near him will gradually re-asaiiine hi power. There Will bo an influx of Northern men iuto thcu Status, aud they will gradually become as the woiio lutsa uf the o.mU., Thd suheuje will fail ; bnl iu the lueaLliino all the hatred of a conquering and conquered people will be maintained.
