The wauls ot our lirit 16 Ii cousins, already , enormous, will rapidly increase. Tney row, not only with iiopuLttioo, but by au iuccssaut diversion of labor towards the most. profitable employments. Uur meaus ol supply ar boundless. We have im mense areas of fertile soils cheap peculiarity fitted for the use of agricul tural machinery, and connected with the ccutres of foreign commerco by great rivers, by vast inland seas and by 75.0UO miles of railway. We have a auu in our heavens which, in the sea eon ot atrriculiural growth, pours down daily floods of light and warmth, mak ing the earth proline, giving abundance and variety of fruits, assuring the wheat crop, yielding cotton in its lone, snd ripening corn everywhere, even to the verge of the farthest north. I pro diet a great increase in the consump tion of our corn bv Great Britain over the 6,(MK),000 bushels which it reach ed last year. It is the roost natural and spontaneous of ourcereal products. Our present cropouchtto be 1.500,0(X), 000 buahels against 200,000,000 bush els ot wheat. It is but little inferior o wheat in nutritive power. It costs liss than ono-halfon the seaboard, and much less than one half on the farm. It can be cooked, by those who con sent to learn bow, into many delicious forms of human Icod. Why should not the British workmen hive cheaper food? Why ihould not our farmers have great market? Why should not our carriers have the transporta tion ? Let ns remember that commer cial exchane es mnst have pome element of mutuality. Whoever obstructs the means of payment obstructs also the facilities of sale.

But New York herself can not afford to have her voice unheard. The declaration of indepen dence, the bills of riitht aod tho State constitutions all contain assertions of the right pf, the people to govern them selves nod to change their rules at will. These declarations had ceased to have any meaning to the American mind. They seemed to bo truisms which there was nobody to dispute. The contests known to us were contests between dif ferent portions of our people. To eomt nrehend the significance of these de clarations it is necessary to curry our selves back to the examples ot humuo xperience in view of which our ances tors acted, t iipy Had ?eeu tne govern mental machine nada small govern mental iclass, sometimes with the aid ot tho navy, able to rule arbitrarily over millions of unorganized, isolated atoms of human society In forming tho government of the United States they endeavored to take every precau tion against tho recurrence ot such evils in this country.- They keptdown thestandingnrmy to a nominal amount. They intendad to limit the functions ot the federal government, so as to pre vent the erowth. to danKerous dimen sions, of an office holding- class and of corrupt influences. . The preserved the tate governments as a counterpoise to net as uenter-t ot opinion auu as organ ized means of resistance to revolution ary usurpation by the federal govern ment. . Jefferson, the leader ot liberal opinion, in his first inaugural, rocog- tnzcd this theory. Hamilton, tne re presentative of tho extreme conserva tive sentiment, in tho Federalist, ex pounded it with elaborate arguments, Madison, the father of the constitution, culorced these conclusions. A voice How about the returning board? ' Mr. TilJen There were no return ing boards in those days. The people elected their own President, and there were no Louisiana and Florida re turning boards to rob iheui ot their rights. The increase of power in the federal government during tbe last twenty years, the creation of a vast office-holding class, with its numerous dependents, mid the growth ot - the means of corrupt influence, have well nii; It destroyed the balance of our com plex system. It was my judgment in j 870, that ptihlio opinion, demanding achuueeot administration, needed to embrace two-thirds ol the people at the beginning ol the canvass, iu order to cast a majority of votes at the elec tion. If this teuden ;y is net arrested its inevitable result will be the pranti-cu-l destruction of our system. Let the federal government grasp power over tho crest coroorations of our country and acquiro the means of addressing their interests and their fears; let it take jurisdiction of riots which it is the duty of the State to suppress ; let it find pretexts for increasing the army, and soon tlioe in possession of the government will have a power with which no opposition can successfully compete. Applause. Ihe experi ence of France uuder the Third Napo leon shows that with elective forms aod universal suffrage, despotism can be established and maintained. In the canvass of 1876 the federal sorernment embarked in the contest with unscru pulous activity. A member ot the cabioet was the head of a partisan com tnittee. Apenta stood at the doors ol the par offices to exact contributions from official subordinates. Tbe whole office-holding-class were made to ex haust their power. Even the army, for the first time, to the disgust of the soldiers and uany of the officer, was moved a boot the country as an elec tioneering instrument All tnts was done under the eve r f the beneficiary of it, who was tnakinr the air vocal with profeino of civil service reform, to be bf-e-ua after he himself exhausted all the immoral advantages of civil scrvic abves. Pnhlie opinion, in some States waa overborn by corrupt influence and by fraud. Bat so stronr m th desire for reform, that tbe Democratic candidates feoeivod 4,300- 000 suffrages. This was a majority of the popular vote of about oOO.OOU, ami ; . of 1,250,000 of the white oitisens. It '' was a vote 700,000 larger than General ' ; Grant received in 1872, and 1,300,000 ' lante"r than he received in.l8bU For 1 all that tbe rightfully elected candi- : dates of the Demoeratio party were ; counted out and a great fraud , trl- . uiAiphed, which the American people have not eondonsd and will never eon- done. " Prolonged applause and. obeers. Yes, the crime will never be condoned and it never should be. I do cot denounce the fraud a affeoting mv rmraonul interests, bat because , it stabbed the very foundations ot free;,-, government. Loud cheers. I swear , in the presence ot you alt, ana 1 can upon you to bear witness to the oath, : ' to watch, during the remainder of my life, over the riahts of the citizens of our country with a jealous care.,. Such ; a usurpation must never occur again ,, and I call upon you to unite with me ' , in tne atiense oj our snorea ana pre- cious inheritance. TI e government of ' the people must not be suffered to be- ) ' come only an empty name. Loud up- : plause. The step from an extreme degree of corrupt abuses in the eleo-, tious to a suDvcrsiou oi tne elective system itselt is natural, no sooner was tne election over man tne wnoie power ot the office-holding class, led ' hv a cabinet minister, was exerted to procure, from the State canvassers of - two States illegal ana irauuieni certi- , ficates, which were made a pretext tor , a taUe count of the electoral votes. To , euable these officers to exercise the- immoral courage necessary to the parts : assigned to them, and to relieve them . from the timidity which God has im-. ,, plant(,d in the .human bosom as a limit , to criminal audacity, detachments of . the army were sent to afford them shel ter. The expedients by which tho votes of the electors ohosen by the people of these, two States were reject bcl, and the votes of the eleotors hav , , iog the illegal and fraudulent certifi cates were counted, and the nwuaoe ' of usurpation by the presltientot the11 Seuateot dictatorial power over all tbe questions in controversy, and the men ace of the enforcement of his pretend ed authority by the army and navy,th , terrorism ot the business classes, audj , the kindred measures by which the ' false count was consummated, are ' known, Tht result is the establish ment of a precedent destructive of our whole elective system. Applause. ; , Tbe tomptation to those in possession ot the government to perpetuate their . own nower bv similar methods will al-' ways exist, and if the example shall be '" sanctioned by eucoess, the . suecessioh , of government in this country will come to be dutermined by fraud or . force, as it has been in almost every other country ; and tho experience will be reproduced here whioh has led to.' the goneral adoption of the hereditary,' :; system in order to avoid confusion anil civil war. . . Tbe magnitude of a -political crime , ; must be measured by its natural and necessary oonsequence.' Our great re- ' public has been tbe only example in the world ot a regular and orderly transfer of governmental suoeession by J- tho elective system'. To destroy the habit of traditionary respect for the ., will of the people, as declared through the electoral tortus, and to exhibit our institutions as a failure, is the greatest possible wrong to our owo country. It is also a heavy blow to the hopes of patriots struggling to establish self government iu other couutrics. It is . a greater crime against mankind than the usurpation of December 2,1851, depicted by the illustrious pen of Vie- ' tor lingo. The American people will not condone it under any pretext or for any purpose. Cheers, Young; men, in the order of nature wo who ' have guarded the sacred traditions of our free government will soon leavo ' that work to you. Within the lite of most v.-bo hear me our re pu olio will embrace a hundred million ot people. Whether its institutions shall be pre- , served in substance and in spirit aa well as in barren forma, snd will con tinue to be a blessing to the toiling millions here and a good example to mankind, now everywhere seeking a largershara in tbe management of (heir own affairs, will depend on yon. Will yon accomplish that duty and mark, these wrongdoers of 187G with the in dignat.ion of a betrayed, wronged and sacrificed people? A voice You bet we will t Laugh-. , .
