UeWnd that the days of itiw aro cone
They have ttgalti pieaeiitud IhciuHelvea to
the people ot Ulno with a platlorm ut po
liiicnl Uoiirboiiism. : Its outward feature -is
its interminable length. Its intrinsic f a
ture is disloyalty!' It is nrcliash of the an
ti war Speeches of Pendleton and Vallan
diL:hain. It bristles with nullification. lis
breath ia repudiation. It is fraught with
bad faith. It spurns the obligations our
national struggle has devolved iton ns.
Iu the speech which I had the honor to
delivor before the Union State Convention
of Is.tt year, I said that the people of the
United States have assumed two solemn
obligations, one of protection to the iiB'
tioh's wards, the freedinen, nnd the othar o
irood fa illi to our national creditors. If tlx
Democratic party bad the power, it would,
to our everlasting disgrace, - have repudi
ated bo tli these, obligations.. .Whatever
the Union party undertook toward the per
formance of these obligations, met with
the unqualified opposilion and bitter hog
tij.ty of our opponents. They opposed the
abolition of slavery. They opposed all
measures for the protection of tho lives
and liberties of lite Southern UuiunUts.
And it our national dbt is being paid, it, is
done in spite of the Democratic "parly. ll
it were uot for the existence of the Uidoii
parly; the true genuine Democratic idea
would now be without a representative.
Governments are 'instituted foT the protec
tion of individual rights. Whether the
power necesBary for this purpose shall be
conferred ou an aristocracy of a privileged
few or many, or whether it shad be vested
iu tho whole people, is the great question
which now aitateathe public mind iu both
hemisphere, iu England, us will as iu
America. Tho history of the last few years
has cleai ly uiaiked out the policy which
will be adopted by our pe jple, and thifj
with your permission, 1 shall briefly pro
ceed to show.-
THE EUROPEAN SYSTEM OF PROTECTION FROM
ABOVE DOWNWARD.
In order to fulfill our duty lo the freed-;
men by protecting their lives, liberty ami
property, several lawa had been passed by
Congress -which proved insnlTuieut. The
amendatory Freed.nen'a Bureau B II was
passed. ,Eo was the Civil Rights Dill. lint
thess laws did not fully accomplish their
purpose. Their execution depended ou an
unwilling Ptesideut;' His machinery cre
ated by them was too complicated and un
wieldy j and their object was defeated by
the determined hostility of public opinion
iu the States for which they were chiefly
intended. Thus far Cougress.in endeavoring
to protect the persona and property of (he
freed men; had acted on what 1 might call t lip
European aystom of protection which is pro
tection fro.o below downward. That sys
tem proved insufHuieul, and it bocome lie
cessary to resort to the American system of
protection, which is prelection from bdow
upward. Tin European system is the in
verted pyramid resting ou its apex; the
American system is the pyramid in its nat
ural poxition, reeling on its square broad
foundation. tn continental Europe the
government, in order to protect those under
Its charge, reduces them to pupilage ai d
leaf's thrru like children tied to ils apron
strings. It interferes with everything and
regulates everything. You meet it at every
corner. It pries into every man's business.
You cannot lay your hands upon anything
for which it has not prescribed ruleu and
fvgulations. The system .would t ever do
for us. It fond bo impracticable, In view
of the extent and magnitude of our. coun
try.' It wotihl be (instilled to the pi"cu.,r
Character, the st U-reliiinco, sclf-aswf rtioi(H
ami s'rong in lividuulity of our people. It
would be iiirnmpntiHn with our Iihmu'
mental iilca of self-govrninit'lit. For this
reason it is h'so proved impracticable a a
tmvit S of siiti Ming llio fieedmen ngainst
murages snd oppression. It became lie
oosaary, thereforo, to np ly our own (-ys-
torn to them our crest AinerteMi svstrm
tif ' prottvtioii Ihat is to say, of ctn-
p'oving H'llnice as the principal means
of attaining the ends of government.
THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF SELF PROTECTION, OR
PROTECTION FROM BELOW UPWARD.
Our system is bused on the supposition
that a vole is a much stronger weapon than
the club of a polieomau or tho bayonet ol a
soldier. Wo believo in the educating and
civilizing influences and protective virtues
of the ballot. 1 1 continually reminds those
who form the aprx of tho pyramid that they
aie dependent on, and responsible t,Mhoa.1
who lot m Us base. f,t recalls rulers ispt to
forget tlupiselvi s in the sweot enjoyment
of power, lo a sense of their true position.
It has a reninikallit tendency to nmke
those polite and sll'.ible and frit tidly whom
Utile Pi ml antlioiily Inclines to the
rude ami overbearing. If the cleiks tn
Duke s's circumlocution oflioi had tra
son to fear Mr. t'lenn mi's ot tln-v would
have treated him much better, t'ulbne is a
powerful' eoi reelive of oflioial insolence,
ahums and int-lliriem y. Il is a print lever
ofiiiipix l n. I justice. It elevates the lowly
and hiimbhi ; it clu cks the violent and the
impulsive ; nnd it aliases the liiwifchty and
the iijliu ulial. - It provides important safe
guarda for the pMpbo peace, and teaches a
wI'dleM-mo res ect tor me rights of others,
thus lessening' the necessity of resorting to
nrts ot pialiio. It is, ol tonise, lial-lo lo
abiiKB and coii option; it may have its im
pel ledums and (lungers, like every other
liutmin institution, but nevertheless its s I
feels hi wondti ful. , .

SUFFRAGE AS THE GREAT MEANS OF SELF PROTECTION. SUFFRAGE AS A CIVILIZING AGENT SECOND ONLY
TO THE INVENTION OF GUNPOWDER.
I do not propose to discuss the question
whether sulVrnge is a tiiilural or vested
light; whether it, is a right(' or,' ns John
Slum t Mill se'einH to think, a political ti ust.
What are ).liilo8ol,iicid nictlics or ubaliac

ond Only to gunpowder, which detuolished
the strongholds of the feudal lords and de
stroyed their pernicious power. The ino
dinjvnl robber in his fortiliod and impreg
nable ensile; was a scourge tind a terror to
his fcjlow men. lie jmyed upon commerce
and industry, and enslaved agriculture,
llo robbed, peaceful commercial caravans,
ahd defied tho authority of law, of kings,
and of cmporOi's. , He reduced the country
to beggary by him everlasting private wars
with Iiih neighbors, bequeathing to hisehil
(Ireu and children's children a legscy of
haired and revenge. lie pillaged and rav
ished and murdered wiih impunity, mock
ing in his inaccessible fdrnngliolda tho im
potent outcries of outruged humanity.
What could be done aguinst him ? A knight
clad in impenetrable armor of sleel, end
ski Hod in the use of the sword aud the battle-axe,
vas a match for dozens ul chili If
and peasants, . '.But, sir, the invention of
tho Ueunau monk turned the tubles at olico.
Cannons -nud mortars batteted down the
castlcs'which had defied tho assaults of
centuries of war.' Tho innsket in the hand
of the plebeian churl took the knight of
sixteen ancuHlers from his horse, in spile of
his heavy armor, bis broad sword and bat-tlo-uxo..
All the skill he bad acquired in
tho use of those weapons during tho tunny
hours of his uristoci alio leisure, went fur
rinught, and he became the hi lplcKS target
of the swinolierd who had laid him low.
Quiddity now superceded quality, aud be
came important iu (hu hands of able com
manders. Intellect now triumphed over
btulul force. Uetiius took the place of
physical prewees. and, air., ut tho battle of
Landon, the weaklleat an v'ckliest loan in
each si my was probably tbt treat General
wlf.it commanded it. The flush of gunpow
der thus helped'tu dispol tho dai kni-ss of
the Middle Ages, ns it battered down (he
robber -castles and, destroyed the lawless
despotism of the feudal barons.
Suffrage, sir, has accomplished similar
results. It has done away with odious pri
vileges and degrading diuliiictionu. . It has
awakened a cense of human dignity and
sell-re peet in tho bo.ioni of tho lowest and
the humblest. It baa diffused a sense of
justice. It has swept away the daugeious
rfTects of caste. It bus cslubliahed the re
sponsibility of rulers on a sure foundation.
It hat. furnished a legitimate channel and a
sulety-valvu to popular indignation. It hast
furnished u peaceful remedy for popular
grievances, and thus, among those w ho un
derstood it truly, it has made insurrections
and lcvolutiotis unnecessary. It may, as I
said before; be liablo to abuse, and give
rise to certain evils, like other human insti
tutions, but on the wholo.it has done won
ders as an instrument of liberty, justice
and civilisation. ' ''
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
For these reasons we said to the negro
iu the Southern States: ' Friend I We
have tried it from above downward; and it
would not do. We passed Freedmeu's Bu

While endeavoring to e.tend to tho n-

THE GREAT MISTAKE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
And herein. Mr. Chairman, lies the crdi
mil error of our opponents. The Instincts
of our people aro Democratic. Democratic
ideas have always swayed our country
Our national existence was conceived , in
the spirit of democracy; and democracy
stood watching over its cnidle. As long
as the Democratic, party understood this il
was Riicoesafnl ; as long ns it understood
how to, appeal to the democratio instincts
of the masses, it almost invariably earned
tho day, and governed the country almost
without interruption. I ho moment it turn
ed its buck on its own fundamental princi
pies, and openly and unequivocally discard
ed the Duclarattttw-sf lndep.douce, that
great evangel of American Democracy, the
doom of the party was sealod. As long ns
It was possible to cover up its apostasy
or to dodge the real issuo, the musses clung
With the old aflection, to the democratic
iKDiia. thoiiuh the democratio sinrit had
long departed. To that lingering delusion,
Pierce and Buchanan owed their election.
But when perversion' nnd equivocation
wore no longer possible ; when the party
whiuh the people supposed to be the party
of equal lights boldly unfurled the banner
of slavery ami uristocracy, when it preambl
ed political inequality, and even encouraged
treason in order to defeat the very princi
ples to which it owed its origin and former
power, its days were numbered, and its
might was gone. " Qitem penderc vttll
Vu, (femutnt."
With incomprehonsiblo blindness, the
Democratic par'y; untaught by Bad experi
cuce, persisted iu its suicidal course. Mta
time when democracy and general - enfran
chisement seem to be the unmistakable drift
ot the ago in America, ns well ns in Europe,
tho Democratic party wages an unrelenting
war on the very principle to which it owes
its birth. Instead of appealing to all that
is noble ami generous in human nature
uppenls which, almost always, prove irre
s stible it appeals to the prejudices of tho
rabble aud to the hatred and passions of
the vulgar and the vile. It has deserted its
fundamental principles. It has placed itself
in antngoiiism to the political hii.tory and
cherished tradilieua ol our people. It has
placud itdtll iii antagonism to the spirit of
the age. It has placed itself in antagonism
lo Its very name. It has placed itself in
antagonism to tho spirit of Christianity,
which teaches that all men are children of
one Heavenly Father, before whose throne
of love and justice no distinctions are I ecog
iiiz.od. It Iiub placed itself in antagonism to
to the religious as well as the political views
and convictions of the great majority of the
American peoplo. How, then, iu tho name
of common sense, can it ever expect to sue
oced?
I repeat, Mr, President, the blindness of
the Democratic party is incomprehensible.
The warning voice bf the Chicago Times
was rained in vain. The Democratic party
persists in a course which it must know to
be fatal. It poisists in opposing what it
knows must come, and partly has come a!
ready. It must know that impurlial stif
Irage, as m-itters now stand, is only a ques
tion of time. Sooner or later it will come.
The Democracy know that it cannot be
prevented. Why, tin u, does it vainly fry to
stem the current, which will sweep it away T
Why does it throw itself under the wheels
of the cur the course of which cunnot be
urrssted ? . Why does It persiat iu s tddliiig
itself with tho weakness, and In bearing
the odium of tho most pulpab'o inconsisten
cy! Why, knowing tho instincts of our
people Iu be democratic, does it s'uke its
all on the fruitless attempt lo Uphold an
ai ialocracy of lace t Why Will it sacrifice
its very existence by persisting in its up
peal to prejudice, which it knows to be
rapidly weuring sway ? It is the illusory
hope of temporary succs that leads it on
tn a wil ul destruction of all its hopes snd
expectations in the future. Tea vain hope
of cairying a few local elections in doubtlul
d'striclx; it sacrifices its fundamniitul prin
ciples, its c- iisisten'.y, aud its only chance
ol partially ntonirg fur its disloyal record
during the war.
Butj sir, after all, " it is not my funeral "
on which 1 have been CQmn"uting ; and so
i shall .leave the Democratic party to its
fate. It need not make us sorry to see our
opponents are incurably blind. If the
wicked Were not occasionally struck with
want of foros:ght, this win Id would bet
very uncomfortable place lor Iho iie,hteous.
CONCLUSION.

Democratic party, aro the n.Oal dangerous
enemies of the Country, of peace, prosperi

Judge Thurman's Sympathy
with Rebels.
A Columbus correspondent of the Cin'
cinnatl (lutein narrates tlie following
story of Camp Chnde, tn confirmation of thai
charge tftaf Jtitljjo Tmi rmaA nnd hi family
aided rebel prisoners Ahd refused aid to
Cuion tick ami wounded. At the time
menlioned General CftVsVfU Mooov wa'sl
in command of Camp Chase, and orders had .
just been received from Washington, re
stricting rebel prisoners to the ordinary ra
lions of the Union army :'
About this time a rich scene transpired
between Mrs.Tliuruisn and Ccncral Moody,
at tho main etitrnr.oe of " Frison No. 5t. ,
Mrs. Thuriiinu on this occasion appeared
in her ciirrinue. laden with viauds and deli
cacies, the trout seat piled up, tho space)
between tho scnVrf4.eo with her Own to
tivo offerings, ai fobably the offerings
of tho Billion ptutocracy of Columbus:
and in blandest purRrrtfo presented ah eld
pass Irom Governor led to (lie otticer ot
the guard on' duty p.t the main entrance;.
Unmindful or ignorant of ,the new regimt;
ho ordered the largo double gates opened
for Judge Thurmiin's earrings, and f&fwaftl
the pinuoing span of high fed horses moved
toward the delighted crowd of " JohnnieB,"
to whom the Copperhead driver gave hit
broadest, blandest smile; as much as to sayi
" We're eoiiilnf , broliier rebi",
, We are coming once again 1 "
When alas nnd nlack I while as yet lie hinrl
wheels of tho wotild-be Governor's earriapd
had not passed over the string piece of the
gale, tlu Coiumaiidaut of the Post oppor
tunely appeared at the gate, and with hid
sharp, short, mean-to-be-miiided - voice;
shonlod " Halt ! Cuards halt thatVarringe I '
Instantly down ramo the bayonet of a guard) '
nnd the Oencral's " halt" was re ntlered to
the driver of the carriage; and the terrified
driver held his steeds in Btrsightehed reins;
the General immediately called the guard
and demanded by what authority the prison
gatoB were thus thrown wide, while bun
dreds of rebel prisoners were ei'6wdih
around, and instantly ordered the carriage
backed ojit of the, ns yet, unpnssed priaoH
gates. The guards on the parnpoUot the
prison brought down their guns; ready td
fire on the prisoners at the General's conv .
maud, had there boon an cttcmpt to escape)
at this favorable crisis, and Mrs. .Thurman
extended-her head Wit of her carriage and
said, in an excited Wanner : "I have si
pass frbtu Governor Tod, and I have thi
tight to go In here: I liavs oltcn been ii
beloro, and I must not be stopped.".
The General bowed to the lady, and Said t
Please, madame, let mo see your Jiass."
She handed him a well-worn phss,' but
worse for tho wear, aud bearing dald of
several months previous to this scene,' ,
General Mood) then stated to her fhai
tier pass was obsolete that new order;
had been received from Washington1 rela

hibiting such visits; &o. But Mrs.' Thur
mini still Insisted oo going in with Iter
presents, aud the General told her politely,
but positively : " Madam, yotf caunot en
ter these prisons; My Orders" are positive;
and you tnust hbl go into the prisbti." Mrs.
Thin nmn then begun to threatcti the Col
onel that she would immediately report
him to her huhhtmd,. Judge Thurman, and
Governor Tod, ko. To all of which he te
plied by ordering the driver to back titit bf
the prison immediately; whibh lie niade an
awkward and unwilling attempt to do, and
at last said he cttnht not do it. Instantly
the General suid, " Guards, ' put this car.
riugo ouLpf here nt once," and with a will
the boys in blue sprang to the horses' heads
ami horses, carriage, driver uud Madam
Thurman, and cakes, fruits, candies and
comforts, were on the outside of " tlebel
Prison No. 2," The ponderous, gates werb
closed with a orush, aud the officer of the
guard was reprimanded and udmouithed by
General Moody lu s, way well calculated te
make a lasting impression on bis initid.
Meanwhile Mrs. Thurman again com
menced her'threats, telling tho grim old
commandant that " she would inform her
husband, Judge Thurman, of his conduct;
she would, and that he would see Governor
Tod immediately." To all this be replied,
" Madam, I am but executing the orders I
have received as an officer of the tJnited
States, and I must say, Muduln, that your
Byinputhy had much better be bestowed
upon the soldiers of your country, who are
defending its rights and your own rights

The scornful carriage driver the disap

Moody ; " " thal's ho j " that's the tieket ;"
and there stood the polite and positive Col
