A RINGINGTSP??GHJ D??iCCraCy anu rlepubiican?am Clearly Defined. BY HON. D. 6. HENDERSON. A Olear Cut Vlaw of the Differ enco Between tho Two Qroat Parties m the United States. Hon. D. 8. Hondoraon, of Alkon, who spoke at tho masa mooting io Union rooontly, has defined tho diffor onoon botwoon tho Domoorata and Bo {mblioanu in thia country, r.j follows: bellow Citiaens: It is cstoomod a high privilcgo to bo invited to address tho noonie of this favored sootion of South Carolina. ' When your unexpeotod and unaolioi tod invitation oamo, to oomo hithor and address you on tho gravo national issues ponding boforo tho Amorioan pooplo it was aoooptod as a call to duty. I have felt that in tho dissuasion of thoao issuos at this mooting, in an off elootion yoar, whioh is only tho pre liminary of many whioh may follow noxt yoar, it woro host not to addrosa you in an off hand, oxtomporancous, mannor, whioh ia boat R ni tod to per sonal politioal dobato, hut to oom in it my reflection to manuaoript in tho hopo that I may bo moro aoourato, auc oinot and oloar. Issues aro brought about by tho hap pening of ovonta, whioh gonorato ideas of interoab and oonoorn; and hoing dia oussod and aotod upon by tho public booomo formulated into oonoroto faota aa tho basis of publie and privato ao tion. Nations Aro initiated or doatroyod hy tho result of such issuos; and it ia tho duty of ovory liberty loving oitizon, as the best indioin to his right to citizen ship to tako &n aotivo part in such ovonta. Wo should hiing lo tu?O???id?r?U?h of suoh matters not lthotorioal pyro technics in spoooh and glittering gen eralities from history, but common sonso and reason and apply tho subjoot at hand to our homo nooda and homo dutioa. As a pooplo, ns a nation, by tho per mission of Providenoo wo oooupy tho greatest country of tho earth. Born amid tho poans of liberty; liborty of oonsoienoe; liborty of spoooh, and liborty of religion, shohas boon baptized in tho wators of adversity and is now marching up tho slopoa of apparont prospority and powor. It is tho poople who oomposo tho government. It is tho pooplo who formulate the idoas that guido national Srow th; and it is tho pooplo who must eoido tho issues whioh tho formula tion pf snob ideas bring about. AU nations of tho nature of our Amorioan republic must havo rival politioal partios. It atartod soon af tor tho breath of lifo waa blown into tho body politio of this National ropublio aa tho neooasarv concomitant of tho faot that mon run tho govornmont. They have oxistod ovor sicco undor various names, orcods and bannora and will continuo to romain as long as tho ropublio livos, or until its onemios, i thoy havo their way, sink ?tinto Imperi alistic oblivion. Tho written charts whioh bind us together, namely, "Tho Doolam tion of Independence"; "Tho Artiolos of Con federation" and "Tho Constitution of tho Unitod Staten of Amorioa", wero begotton in tho revolt of liborty against tho Boyal Imporialiatio colonization iden. Tho Constitution was a grant of power from tho pooplo; what was not therein granted to tho govornmont theroby formed was roservod absolutely to the pooplo. ? Every lino, every syHablo of thia Magna Charta of tho pooplo was ovolv ed from a struggle of dobato botwoon contrali/.od govornmont on tho ono hand and a government of tho poople on tho othor. Tho dust of battle whioh vindioatod tho liborty prinoiploa of tho Constitu tion had soarooly rolled away whon Hamilton and his followers espoused tho causo of a Contralizod government; and Je. ff orson and his followers tho causo of a Domooraoy pure and simple Evorsinoo through vwious mutations and ?bangos, amid shifting scones ?nd oiroumatancos; amid battlo and treason and traitoriam and tyranny and pros pority and advorsity, tho atrugglo baa oontinuod; and it subsists today. You oallod thia mooting to day bo oauao it waa still going on. Tho Hamiltonian, Fodcralistio or Republican party bonding all of it? onorgios to ouutralizo all powor in ono Fodoral head with tho maohinory for the promotiou of its oombinos and de pendencies to porpotuato tho power of that head; and tho Jofforsonian or Domooratio party bonding its onorgios for tho prosorvation of popular govern ment and a striot oonp.< motion of tho constitution handod o wn by thc fathers. Tho same Domooratio party ha? soon dofoat and stood it like a Spartan hero. It haa aeon victor/ and dispensed power; and stood that suooosa with equanimity and disponsod that powor aa an ovon handod govornor of tho poo plo's rights. It may again seo defeat, but it will again soe viotory if its sons aro truo to ita causo. It has stood a? tho Groat Conservator of tho buBinoss intorests of tho oountrj ; demanding oompotition in all tho marta of trado. So that labor and in dustry in all modos of lifo oan bo oom ponsfttod. It han stood against tho onoroaoh monts of the groody money gatherer and for the promotion of tho hoalthy trado and enterprise in all dopartments. For tho oxtonsion and protection of oommereo to tho remotest regions of tho earth BO that Amorioan progress and Amorioan onterpri?o by tho making of hotter goods at ohoapor prices could oommand tho markots of tho world; imd it advocates to day tho promotion and protection of that trade and oom mereo to tho fallost cxtont. It has stood for tho onforocmont of its own lifo bought dootrino that thorn must be no further onoroaohment upon Amorioan torritory by Continental powers for the purposoa of monarchical colonisation and vasnol rule; and it should novor surrender or violate that prinoiplo of solf proaorvation and jun tioo, least tho world powers shall olaim such violations as a protext for their groody aotion. It has gono further; and by dood and aot stood for tho poaoefui acquisition of Amorioan torritory for tho proaorvation of Amorioan liborty and tho develop ment of Amorioan enterprise and progroas, but it novor has and I pray God it never will lond its aid and sanc tion to tho aoqusition of foroign torri tory for plunder and polf. ' In 1803, undor tho loadorship of ita founder, tho immortal Jeiforson, by poaoof ul moans and monoy frooly grant 65510 od in timos of poaoo bv tho peoplo, U orootod tho atora and Btripos ovor tho Louisiana purchase nf tor tho (ri oolbr of Franoo was withdrawn; and in that aot as a parc, wrttton in tho oontraot of purohaso, it guarantood tho full right of statehood to tho ooinponont parts of tho torritory; and protection of lifo and liborty to ovory inhabitant thereof. It took in tho lund and proooodod to gov orn it with "tho consent of tho govorn ad", carrying out tho bod rook dootrino of the Union of Statos. It would mako that nr.mo apoRtlo of Domoornoy shud der in his ootilo, to knew that in loss than a oontury thereafter tho govorn mont, whioh ho had so earofully kopb co.vn in, ita territorial accpatroniouta to tho priuoiplosof liborty, in tho far East away from our oooan washed Hopublie had soized torritory olnitnod by two I dilioront sots of people and wero on ' deavoring to for oe upon it a govern ment oontrnry to their wishoB and do siro. This samo old Domooratio party after it had givon liborty to tho Toxan re public, ovon by foroo of arma, saw no diegraoo in hauling down its-glorious Hag from tbo ramparts of tho Monte ?u rea?; and there will bo no diegraoo in tho hauling down of that flag trom tho baltlomont of Moro Casllo whon Cuba's own govornmont is oouiploto, exoept it bo tho stigma upon her freedom of ac lion whioh tho Platt amondmont on graftod in ita Constitution, put there by tho Ropublioan party. In tho timo of our dircdisastor whon property valuoB by tho fato of war ha 1 shrunkon to nothing; whon lifo was soarooly worth living; whon hopo was near gono forever, and tho Ropublioan party big and bloated with blood and power, sought to make tho Southern statos dopondenoios and tho abodo of \uUuros to proy on us and to oat out our vitals, that samo old Domooratio Mothor with tho bravo sturdy Domo orats of tho Mast and YVoat stood by us and holpcd ua to assort our manhood and rogaiu our froodoru of action. And now in tno high tido of tho Na tion's progross, beoauso forsooth tho Domooratio party (srhioh has stood eua shino and shadow and will novor die) has boon twioo dofcatod booauso of somo difforonoos of opinion as to oortain party polioios and booauso of tho uio of Ropublioan money contributed by tho onomios of tho liberties of tho pooplo, wo aro invitod to swallow, without ovon mastifioation, all of tho polioios of tho party of oontralizod powor tooall it tutOGliESSlVE Dornooraoy. God savo tho murki Not simply that, but wo aro aBkcd to romain Domooratio and absorb and as 8iniilato tho boniftoonb prinoiplos of re publioani?in booauso wo live in an doo trioal ago of progross; and booauso we aro told wo should givo up our tra ii lions, our history, our momorios and our past forcvor. lu tho paraphrased words of Tom Watson or Privato John AUOD) I know not whioh, if wo did it, if wo followed this frioudly advioo whoro would wo bo avY, xuo Domooratio party would bo dead, tho llopublicnu par.y would bo tho masters of tho situation and tho scat tered forocs of tho people would bo forood into Populistio party, Vi^oh is now snoerod at by somo of its formerly ardent admirers. That is what tho paro nts who aro behind this movement to invado tho South hopo for, but your goodjueg mont, your patiiotio purposes and high regard for duty to tho past and in tho present will stamp it out in its incipi ency. Nay, rathor lot tho momorablo words of tho groat Baa Hill of Goorgi?? w thoy sounded through tho halls of tho United States Sonato sink into your heart, "Tho South is onco moro in tho homo of her fathers and thero sho pro poses to romain," exerisiug hor privil eges and standing with all lovors of liborty in tho grand union of statos against monopolios and oombinos and oonlralization, no mattor in what form it oomoo. Why should wo tako suoh a oourso? Why should wo as Amerioans ns woli as Southerners and Carolinians, abro gate our fealty to tho Demooratio party; cr worso still keep our namo as Demo crat and carry Ropublioan prinoiplos into its party council ti, and thus attack its vitals whilst avowing ourso YJB in blalont terms mom bora of its politioal household V Tho negativo answor to this irquiry comes easy from a si m plo diapaaeion ato statement of tho avowed policios for which tho Ropublioan party s.ands inthis year of Graoo. Ln iib KOKKiGN polioy itadvooatcs in its platforms and through its adminis tration aiid its roprosontativo in Con gicfef , FIRST, territorial expansion and aggression beyond tho Wcstorn hom isp h oro; and governmental colonization whioh whon pushod to its finality moans rampant imperialism; and SECOND, it advocates Congressional absolutism in tho macfgomont of suoh colonios with out regard to tho limitation of tho Groat Constitution. In its DOMESTIC polioy it harbors and upholds tho rankest monopoly in tho shape of trusts and oombinos, in dos tiuotion ol' competition in irado, thus striking at tho very artcrioii of industrial lito and homo living among tho maosos of tho people It prides ilBolf as tho originator and uncenaiog ohtnifion of tho protcotivo turill not being ooutont to ring from the pooplo only one.ugh to pay tho legiti mate oxpensos of tho govornmont; and to allow to tho consuming mastics tho fruits of lcgitimato oom pol i lion ovon in tho neoossitios of lifo for tho sako of protection of favored olasses which sup port it in its machinations and plans, it ostablishos a tubbor tariff whioh op prostsos and tyramnizes thoso who need protootion muoh moro than those who aro avowodly aidod. it goes further and proposes to grant bountied and subsidios to ship linos un der tho pretension that it is io aid tho building up of our Morohant Marino, whon it is woll known and understood that such favoritism is only lo pay off pest party dob ts and if inaugurated as tho polioy will tond to dostroy tho on orgies of our pooplo and thoir individu ality, by causing thom to look to tho patcrcnlism of govornmont, instead of rolying on thoir own efforts to ex tond thoir trado. Such dootrinos aro aral oap only bo considered republican no mattor by whom promulgated. No ono oan or ought to objootto tho exoroiso personal proforonoo in opinion but lot thoso who como out and avow suoh idoas annouaoo thenuclvos oponly as ropublioans. Apart from this paramount oonsidora tion? what nooossity, oxpodionoy or justification is there in our foroign re lations for an Amorioan polioy of foroiga territorial oxpansion or kingly coloniza tion? No ono says a word against tho ex pansion and oxtonsion of our trado and oom m or oo to tho uttermost part of tho oarth ; and its full protootion hy ovory agency nf govornmont. If China is to bo dismomborod, as she will bo somo day, simply insist on our trado rights hy propor treaty relations and let tho territory go to other nations who wish to own it and thus ampio markets oan bo opon cvon in that ovoni for our in creasing ootton goods from our wolooin od ootton mills, as woll from all our otbor rosnuranM nf trade without em broiling oursolvoa in all oftho ovils whioh follow in tho wako of tho soiziog of foroign territory, What do wo want with moro torritory V Thoro aro waato plaoos onough io our own land that noed building up.

Suoh a polioy bogun has no bounds to its fruition and thoroia lies tho dan ger. Tho Phillipinos will not bo onough io satisfy tho oupidity of grasping after foroign torritory. Eight thousand miles away from us in unknown BOSS andamid unknown pooplo it will rcquiro a stand ing army equal to thoso of tho Powor of Europo to maintain our authority among tho nations and our prestigo among tho powora of oarth; and this drain upon our treasury kopt full by taxation, indiroot through it bo from a sufforing pcoplo is to bo oountod as nothing, for it givos tho adminiotration party tho oppoitunity to makomoro of tioou to bo luted by moro suppjrtois.
