Among other resolu. 1 as offered were some declaring that 1 iright 6t stuffrage belonged to the I ites, and this was annonnced to be a i )d Democratic doetrno. I agreed to I propositions, but at the same timA 3, that it seemed to me they had it.ted one very vital point, which was declare to what States the doctrine ilied. I thought it was necessary to ard andlimit the declaration, and to ond That. we might know at what to we coM go back and eay who ire the ciiizeiis of the States, I asked it they wouli declare that these quos. us belonged to the States under their istitutions up to the year 1845. mtlemen were there from North, uth, East and West, and by all we - ire met with extreme cordiality. They d they wore willing to give us every ng we desired ; but we of the South ist remember that they had a great ;ht to make, u-nd it would not be licy to place ufion ihaL platform that hich would engender prejudice at the orth. They, however, pledged then Ives to do all in their power to relieve o Southorn States, and restore us the nstitution as it had existed. As we ure met in such kindly spirit, I could >t but reciprocate it. I knew that I as representing the feelings of my peo. 10 when I did so, and I told them that would withdraw all the resolutions I ad qflered, and no doubt other South rn delegates would do the same, and lould accept the resolutions offered by e Hon. U. Bayard, the Senator from telaware, which declared that the right suffrage belonged to the States. I dd I woud take the resolutions it they ould allow me to add but three words, hich you will find embodi,.d in the latforn. I added this: "And we do. laro that the Reconstruction nets are )volutionary, unconstitutional and oid." [Iinmnse cheering.] When proposed that, every single member of 1o committo-and the warmest men in , were the men of the North-conmo )rward ind said they would carry it. tt to the end.

Let us determine that though 'ti not in mortal to command success, we'll do iore, weil deserve it. I conjure our people to dediatt all their energies to the work before us.

WASHINGTON, July 18, 1868. C. . Oilran4er, Esq, Danville, Petn. sylvania: DicAi Sin: I am in receipt of yont letter of the 10th instant, in which, speaking for yourself and a number of other Conservative Republicans of your town, you etpress a "sense of disa'p. pointment and rpgret that no better names had been offered by the Detio cratic party to lead the conservative ind patriotic masses of the people to victory and the radical Repnblicai party to deserving and merited defent. As 1 goutleman and a statesman Mr. Sey moar holds our resptet, but as a peace Denorat we are indisposed to vote [or ili ;" and, you are ple.sed to say that, if my naie, among others, had been placed at, the heid of the ticket, "all would have gone well, and victory would have been certaifn." You desire my opinion upon the sitwation and "t,he prospects of a third pity." I thank you for te confidene thus repoted in me, and shall not shrink froft the-responsibihty of stating frankly my opinion. I do not think the organization of any third party is wise, or can work any practical good to the great cause in which we are engaged. In the very naturo of thig-l whe.n great principles are at stake, tiero are, and there can be, but two effective political parties. "He that is not for me, is against me," in politics .as well as in religion, is a truth tpon wi&h evelry wise man is compelled to att. What, then, is the great mnea para. mount issue ? What is that great and inpnrdonale wrong for whi.ch the radi, cal party is now arraigned and should be overthrown ? It is substantially this. In violation of the Constitution--iii violation of pledges made and often repeated, from tl first battle of Bull Run to the end oF the war; pledges to the North to get men and money ; pledges especially made to the Democracy to get their sup. port in the field and in t lie elections; pledges made to the South to induce them to lay down their arnis and to renew their allegiance; pledges to for. vyign poWt-rs to prevtnt Intervention-" in violition of all these solemn pledges, upon whinh we' invoked the blessings of Almighty God upon our cause, and by which almo we gained strength to mas. ter the rebellion-iin violation of the natural and innlie!nable right of the civ iliAed mn of every SEate to govern t.hmaielyes, and in violation of the clear provisions of the Constitution, which leaves to each State for itself the right to regulate suiffrago, this party has, without trial, by cx potfieto laws, disfranchi.4ed hundreds of thousands of the most intel. ligent or their citizens, and has foiced upon ten States and 6,000,000 of our own A nglo-Saxon race the universal and unqualified suftage of 700,000 ig. norant, and, in the main, half civilized llegrues This is the great wrong for which that. party is arraigned at the bar of pub. lie judgment, and for which it should be overthrown. To consimimato the great wrohg, they have abolished all civil governmnent and civil lierty even in these ten States they have e:stablished five military des potisms, wherein all rights to life, liberty and property are asubject to the will of one man ; they have kept the UJnion divided ; they have prevented the resto ration of industry ; they have kept down the credit of the Goverunent during three years of peace, to a point so low that, to the shame of every American, the six per~t er.nt, bonds of the United States sell for only seventy-three in gold, while the bonds of Brazil, bearing only four per cent. interest, bring over ninety in gold. They' have encroached upon the just r'ights of the Executive; they have threatened the independence of' the Supreme C )mrt; they have ttn Justly, and withaout cause, impeached and*'put upon trIal the President him self', and, by every species of denuncia. tioin, and even by threats of assassinna ion, have endeavored to force the 8en ate to convict him, in order to place in the IE.xecutive chair one wvho wyill use all Its power to consummate that gigan tic wvrong against the Constitution, against our plighted faith, against civihi zation, and against our own race and kindred, The Converrtion in N1ew York met for the purpose of organizing to over throw the party in power for this great wvrong, .aurcd to restore the Union and the Constitution, and the rights of the States under it. Now, I do not say the nominations made at New York are the very best that could have been made for that purpose.. Thle elements to be organised into a victorious army were four-fold, TJ.o use a military figure, there were four Array Corps to be or. ganized into our grand army: First The great D)emocratcf Corps. Second -T1ho War Democratic Corps. Third -The Conservative Republican Clorps. F13ourth-The Civilized Southern Corps. TIhe first, or Democratic Crops, wvas fully organized, with ranks we~I ll led, but not in sufficient nurmber to secure the victory. There was the .War Democratic Corps, which supported Lincoln in 1804; but which, in consed quenice of the great wrong, above.men tuoned, was ready to sever itself from the radical army under General Grant ; and there was the Conservative Repub lican Corps, of which you are pleased to speak of me as a leader, who1 for the same reasons, were ready to Join the grand army, and to do alf in their pow el to bring success to o.r.r cause, The two last are the reerniting corps. They hold the balance of power. As a mat ter of policy, hacd the flrst offie been given to a chief of the one or the other, it would have made onr 'tictory more' easy, if not more certain,d Everybody knows that the resak~ of this contest is to depend upon the imipor' tent qnest.ion, whethar we shall ho -able 1 'o -Oruit those two corps in sufilcient 111ambers, and carry 'thom 'to th hoa'rty suppd't of Mir. -Seymour. If we dg'j, victory is with us. If we cannot, victo. ry is against us. In my judgment, it is our duty to do so. The very life of the Constitution is involved, and with it, the rights 4'f the -States, and the liberties of the people. I cannot hegitate for one moment ; my judgment is for it , my whole heart is in itv. So far from relaxing, we bhould re double our -ffortg. Bear in mind that the War was ended thrde years ago, when a net ee'& was openC-d i 'pdlittal affairs; that Mr. Sey&oar is a ian of high character, of unquestioned patriot ilre, ofgrft ability and experience, wioliy wiLh us upun the living and paramotnt iWaLe; and ht, if elected, he will make a most able and dignified President; a'Wd certainly no Pennsylva nman1t will forget that, but. f6r his prompt. ness and energy in forwarding the forces of New York to Gettysburg, that gr6at battle might have been lost and Pei. sylvania over-run . while, in General Blair, we have a civilian and a soldier whose promptness and indomitable reso 4ition seized Camp Jackson. and saved Missouri frot secessiona, who always stood among the foremost of the War iepublicans, in council and in the field, while the war lasted, and when it was over, was among the first to demand that for which the war was prosecuted -the Ulnion )f the States under the Constitution, with their rig4ts, equality and digity utimpaired. Let us unite for a victory ! Lot us have peace-a peace which comes not (rom a violated Constitution and the despotism of the sword, but a peace which comes from a restored Union and the supremacy of constitutional law, by Vich alone [siberty is secured. Re spectfully yours, [From the Philadelphia Ago.] Ah Appehi to the Oo*ardioeofthe AxneMi ian People. Fellow-eitizens, we know you are a set of whito livered hucksters. We feel perflectly sure that although you were aware a great crime had been committed, you would refuae to hve anything to do with the righting of its victins, if somebody told you that there. by you might lose a dollar; and, there fore, we appeal to you, in perfect conlfi" dence, to support, its inl our crimes. it, is qtlite true that we have destroyed the fundamental principle of 'iir Govern ment, viz . a government founded oli the consent of the governed, because we have iniposed, against, their consent, a most hiatUful governmeiInt on a large portion of the country. 1-9Is niost trite that we havo passed laws coafesselly against the Constituiton ; we have done this opeIly Mnd -urnblushmngly, fin some instances we said~that the necessia ties of war required it; sometim2s that the ne-:essities of peace demanded It, and more frequently laughed at our oppo nents as "fools, clinging to the bi-oken spar of a wreck." W herever we have had the power we have thrust a brutal, i g n o r a n t race Into place and power, and put him over- 'vour white brethren. We have niade it so that ini an area of our country compris ing 058,658 square miles, no' honorable, intelligent., decent white man can assist, you in restoring our cottu'.ry to its for mer glory. We have created out, of the virtue', the worth and the edneated part of this section of the country a disaffect. ed class. By these meatts we have, through the Senate, secured for ouri par. ty absolute control of this Government, withi all of its 1-ich patronage, for at least fostr more yeares Now, we are'told that some of you who,are thus skinned, disapprove of seine of' our proceedings a that you are not in favor of Congress interfering with the right of suffrage in the States ithat you dislhke to have your Presidential election deoided by negro votes, and that you object to carpet-bag Senators. This may all very well be. But mark you. Th~ese things ure all dlone. 'Phe negro will upset or not as we decIde your votes for President, and the car pet-baggers and bogus Senators are ail ready warm and voting in their seats. They are Senatoi's de facto, even if they are not decjuie. Now, don't you se~e that if you should, -by any means, not permit these acts of ours to continue in force, that you are creating civil war, Because with the vast majority of Northern votes with you, and' all Southern white vote, there will be an immense army (of blacks and carpet. baggers) to oppose to you. Don't you see that these puppets of Senators, whom we have put ini plase, will brand' ishi their straw arms at you, and theit inmmenso constituenceis, which they have at their back, will rush to their do. f'ence. D~on't you see how, since onr crime has been successful, you will be in rebellion against the powers that be, and carn it bre possible you do not see the civl war you will create, Don't you see that if you allow the white populas tion ol the South to have a governmemt of their own choosing, and Senators and Rtepresentatives that are irr sympathy with them, that the same awful condttion of1 thingsi wilil exist as existed before the war, and in the dark ages of Washing ton and Adams, arrd Jefferson, and their successors. Would you, for so unim portant, a thing as the preservation of your feotin of goverftment, incut this danger? Is not the reotr of the Southern whites to a shre i'n the Otev. ernent too great a price to pa' for scc an obsolete and trivial dogma, as that governinents rest. on the consent of thw~ overned ? We appeal to you, there rore, to sanectionk ont' iniquities, rather han' incur the awful dangers of preserva *ng your Governmnewe, dotnd ustice and rearing God. REULIGAx PuRESSEa. ORATORS.
