TieedajMoraine, October 6,1868. 1 ~ - - -' 1 1 . ?" '' '* r 11 '' ' 1 ' -- leuotor Hendricks' Speech at ZBUMTIUC, Oki?. It is conoeded that one' of the best and bleat members of the United States Se ?ate wae Hendricks, of Indiana. He itoly addressed a meeting at Zanesvillo, ii the State of Ohio, and we found it re reshing to read his remarks. Hising hove mere invective and scurrility, ho isouases the matters before the people f Ohio in a manly tons arid in ^efepirf t f an enlightened statesmanship. After sposlng tho gross inconsistency of Oo ernor Morton, of his State, who, four ?are ago, repudiated the idea of a State tying np the control of suffrage, and ow advocates the surrender of the sab? ot to Congress, Mr. Hendricks proceeds > give bis own views' in opposition to te fifteenth amendment. He contends ut this is no time for a change of the onstitution. He shows, further, that is bj no means settled that the amend lent will, ba agreed to. He then dis? uses tba meaning of the proposed nondmont. Explaining that this am eu cl? ient proposes to take away from each tate, the control of suffrage for State f???es as well as Federal offices, he lows that the result would be to take om the people of tho, States a power hioh it is essential to their interests tat they should retain.. He says that te States should not surrender this owor, secured to them in the Constitu? on, and td deprive them of which ould be to make a oban go in the very iture and frame-work of our Govern ont. On this subject, he says, in con usion: "If you onoe allow the Congress of ie United States to become the con oller of those powers and questions hioh the fathers left with the people of te States, how far is it eventually to go? on cannot toll. So that yonr safety, in iew of your power in this Union-in ow of the great interests to bo pro? ofed-your Ba io ty, in Ohio, is in main ining all the rights, the dignity and paality of the States unimpaired. This but one step in the wrong direotion-to ike from the people of the States a a wer that they have, and give it to the ongress of the United States. I am ot going to discuas, this afternoon, be .re yon, whether tho negro is fit to bo a oter, or whether tho negro is y our inal or my equal. I suppose each gen eman has Iiis own judgment npon that nestion. I believe that this question elongs of right to the States, and that is a change in the very nature and atno-work of our Government to take from the States and confer it upon ongress. In thu. name, then, of the tates, I object to this amendment. On ehalf of our home government, I ob? ie t to it. We are safest when we are rotected by a government near by us; here the public officers are responsible irectly to the pobpla. What does Con? reas any longer oare for the will of the eople, if it can carry their measures, nrposes and policy? Thoy do not turn ny more to inquire whet the people be eve or what the people want. They re ready to make a pledge to you in ad inceof the election, and disregard it as >on as the election is over. This fif >enth amendmont shows this, li tho lombers of the Legislature don't obey our will, but pass laws that they know ou do not want, they have to come ome to you and answer for that. But tombera of Congress havo now come to iel a sort of independence of the judg? ment, wish and will of the people. I n not in favor, then, of hauding over ie powers that belong of right to our orne and domestic government to a go srnment farther removed from tho poo? le. I think you expressed it very well i one of your resolutions of the Denio .atic Convention of this State: 'Con Nidation, in this country, mean- the jHolute dominion of monopoly und ag? r?gate capital over the lives, the liberty id property of the toiling masses.' tand by yonr State governments, for ley are your home protection. Stand y them, not in any hostility to the eneral Government, but stand by them nder the Constitution of tho United tatos, and maintain forevor that har? mony between the States and General overument which gives security to the soplo, and rospoot and dignity to both ?rms of government." Mr. Hendricks next has a few words > say upon the present administration, ut he does not give it much credit be? ni d "a capacity for travol and taking esh air," and a "capacity to provide r his own household." In concluding is remarks, Mr. H. tonches upon tho itional debt and the national banks, od as he explains very clearly and simply )\v the said debt is paid by Mr. Bont ell, and how the said national banks jerate, we give his remarks on these bjecta in full, as reported in the Now ork World: "But thoy claim they aro paying off te national debt. Do you know how at is done? They made a tariff so gb, in order to protect peouliar inte sts, in order to raise prioes of goods mn the country, that the mannfac rers of these goods mast make great olits. They raised the tariff so high at it brought into, the Treasury moro lld and silver than was required to pay e interest on tho honda. Our tariff is boen bringing into the'National .easury gold and silver from ?170,000, 10 to $100,000,000 a year, and it only i 'J' 1 " ? I - ' " h sa been accumulating ia the National Treasury, ?ncl-wheii Bttltwell came into office, I suppose there had thus acoamu lateA&er ?fotOOO.OQO Of g?loV?t th?Ka-: tional .Treasury from the tariff. Now, what ia dono? Ho sold thia gold he found on hand in tho market, and theo-' with the greenbacks he got for the gold, he buys iu 5-20 bonds at their market price-about $120 for every $100 of bonds. And this ls what has been going on; and that is the way they are paying off the national debt-paying $20 in ad? dition, to what Governor Morton says is the cou tract. In this same speech from which I have read, Governor Morton compliments the administration for pay? ing off the debt. $120 for every $100, according to Governor Morton's con? struction of the contract, and that, too, of gold that had accumulated when they carno into office. And if you oau see any groat credit in that, it is more than I can comprehend. . Every thousand dollur bond that is paid off costs the Govern? ment in greenbacks about $1,200. Go? vernor Morton says tho contraot was $1,000 in greenbacks for $1,000 in 5-20 bonds. Now, what do you think of it? Are you going to offer up praise to tho administration for that? To pay off the national debt in that way will cost the people of this country nearly $400,000, 000 moro than Governor Morton said in the Sonate was the contraot between the bond-holders and the Government. Do you want to know how I think the excess of gold in the Treasury ought to be avoided? This thing of collecting gold and sending it over to Wall street, in New York, to be sold in broker's room, is a corrupt thing, in which the Govern? ment ought to havo no lot or part. It is offensive to your consoioncc and taste. I know it must bo so. How is it to be re? medied? Bring the law down so there will be no more collected off of the peo? ple than the Government, economically administered, shall require. That doc? trine is not new. Andrew Jackson de? clared that tho Government ought not to collect moro money than is sufficient to support it economically. . 'In tho speeoh to which I have referred, Gov. Morton makes a defence of tho na? tional banking system, and as that was the speech which opened tho campaign, it is to be regarded as dedaring tho viows of the party in this State. Oan you see any advantage to tho people in tho na? tional banking system? Gov. Morton says Democrats want to break down the present system and re-establish the Stato banking system. Ho says that without finding it in the platform, or declared by any of tho candidates, so far as I know. The Democrats say this: That if tho Government of the United States must furnish a currency, why not issue it directly from the Treasury, like she did during the war, instead of interpos? ing a banking system betweon her and tho people? It is dono in this way: If a man wants to establish a national bank, he goes to Washington and deposits an amount of bonds, and then strikes off as many bank bills as that deposit will al? low, and brings those bank bills out and circulates them os monoy, the bonds of the United States standing as seourity for theso bank bills. In other words, the Government is seonrity for tho banks. Now, if the Government is to be seourity for tho banks, why not allow Govern? ment lo issue Treasury notes at ouco? The Treasury notes ore as good credit in the pockets of the peoplo, or are as safe money in tho pockets of tho people, as the bauk notes are, when they rest for security on the bonds of tho Govern? ment. What would bo tho effect of that, gontlemen? The Government of tho United States is to-day paying intorost on above $300,000,000 of her bonds, which aro deposited as security for theso bank bills. If that system.bo abandoned, and tho direct Treasury noto system adopted, you will save by lifting theso bonds and discharging them, the interest that is paid upon theso bonds, as declar? ed in tho platform of tho Ohio Demo? cracy. I am not going to discuss the question of taxation of banks in Ohio. lt would make no difference if tho banks transacted and carried on their business by Treasnry notes direct, instosil of theso bank notes that aro secured by bonds. In that event, they would pay, no doubt, as much tax. The national banks may suit, if you please, but lot them not deal in paper secured by tho Government bonds, but in paper issued by the Government direct. Let them bocomo banks of deposit and banks of exchange, instead of banks of issue, nnd they would pay ns much interest into tho national and State treasuries as tho present system provides for, and at tho sumo timo save a largo amount of inco rest paid ont. The people of this coun? try aro oppressed by tho mode to which I referred a littlo while ugo by tho tariff. During tho war, advantage was takon of tho people to enact a system of turill laws such ns novcr would have beon tried iu former days. It is most extravagant in its provisions, aud most oppressivo to the masses of the poople. It taxes ono class of industry in the country for the purposo of fostering another and pro? tecting another class. I think wo must have a tariff. A portion of our rovenuo eau well enough bo collected by tho ta? riff; but tho tariff that taxes goods im? ported into this country from abroad, ought to be levied with a view torovouuo and not protection. As I said, wo aro collecting far more tariff than is suffi? cient to pay thu interest on tho national dobt, and gold is accumulating in the Treasury, and thut for the purpose of furnishing this peculiar protection to special interests, und 1 am not in favor of suoh legislation. You are willing to pay taxes sufficient to meet tho expenses of tho Govern mont, administered eco? nomically, but I don't think the Wost ought to be expected to pay great taxes in the interest; of manufacturing and other pursuits. One <of> the greatest writers of modern times in the history of civilization in England lias said of this subject of. tariff protection, that it ia 'boantie? ?o raise np a Josie* trade* and it ia taxes to pulldown remunerative ones. ' He hes etea said, 'the iaduein, I oifr oleases ^wa robbed that industry might thrive.' That is the effect o? it. [ One class, one interest, is taxed oppres? sively, that othur interests may be made to yield especial and largo pronta. It is tho interest of the people of the North 1 west to elect such men to Congress and as Governors of the States who. will ex? prosa their opinions faithfully and con? stantly against all monopolies and favorit? isms in this country. It is a duty devolv? ing upon the people of this country to rid it of tho extravagance, waste, and improvidence that now prevails. What party will you rely on for th's purpose? Tho party Mint lins been in power whon these things have been brought upon the conntry V" ? ? ??.? ? . Spirit of tUe State I'rran. MARION.-The Crescent contains a spi? rited appoal from the County Agricultu? ral Society to tho peoplo of the County, urging a full attendance at an agricultu? ral meeting, to be held at tho Court House, on the 14th October. The ladies are invited, addresses aro promised, and a general rally called for. EDOEFIEI?D.-Tho Advertiser, on the subject of the fifteenth amendment, says: "This fifteenth amendment is not by any means su sure of being grafted on tho Constitution of the United States as has been supposed. There aro several lions in its oath yet. No true Stato rights man, North or South, can surren? der his opposition to this amendment on principle.. Bo negro suffrage a good or a bad thing, per se, it is for the State and not for the United Slates to decide. The South is the last that should concede it, because all oar reconstruction experience shows as that no sooner is one encroach? ment yielded to, than another is pro? posed. The schemers at Washington are already concocting a sixteenth amend? ment, there will be a seventeenth, and a twentieth, and a hundredth, as the exi? gencies of radical party necessity re? quire. The ouly safe oonrse is to oppose them all, and with all the means within our reach, and on all occasions and at all times to 'fight it out on this line.' CHARLESTON.-Tho Neics says: "It is no; surprising that all those who live by honest labor, desiring to bo good nud faithful citizens, should be inclined to cut loose from radicalism and join a party which will secure to them all tho privileges they now possess, aud more than the freedom they now enjoy. "This party is the anti-radical party of South Carolina. The platform of tho party is broad and strong. Southern re? construction and negro .suffrage aro re? cognized as accomplished facts, and it is not proposed to iuterfero with any right which the colored men now have. Here at ouco is offered to tho colored voter all that his radical friends can give; and the anti-radioal party promise, bosides, au honest and economical Government, which shall enable trade and business to flourish, and make the laboring classes prosp?rons and happy. Upon this plat? form tho anti-radicals of Abbeville, Sum? ter, Kershaw and Georgetown can rally to their support hundreds of colored voters, and can elect men who will repre? sent all classes of the community, and try to ?etrieve the State from the bur? dens which press so heavily apon her. "There may bo found some mon who will not consent to work with the largo majority of our people upon tho anti rndical platform; but public opinion in ils favor grows daily more strong, and will increase in volume until the strong? holds of radicalism havo all been swept away. A common sense submission to tho inevitable necessities of tho situa? tion is the only coarse which will save the Stato from ruin. And tho work should begin without an hour's dolay. " And in referenoe to some remarks of the Yorkville Enquirer, it says: "In this part of tho State, wo are not so philosophical as to say that wo don't care how tho negroes vote; for, upon thc way-im which They vote, depends their welfare and ours. Thoy already feel in? directly tho pressure of taxation, and still moro do they fool tho utter selfish? ness of their so-called friends. Thoy will, in time, find out for themselves that our interests aro theirs; butioiM our help thoy will know it, and not apon it at thc next general elections. Wo might wait, and wait quietly with folded arms; but an old proverb says, that while the grass is growing, tho steed may starve. Thie is our predicameat." YORK.-Tho Enquirer, in reply to thc Phoenix, 'has explains its views: "The Phasnixin mistaken iu supposing thai wo favor any sort of 'milk and water policy. Wo believe in vigorous opposi lion *o tho radical party. But any moa sures which secure our co operation, must possess the virtue of telling will effect upon that party. Wo aro not at? tracted by moro noise, tho practical effect of which is only to attract the attentior of our opponents and stir up unnecessary ill-will on both sides. Tho present is ont of tho times, when quiet can do mon for us than agitation, which is the groai desideratum with tho radicals. Opposi tion only serves to give them strength without it, their party will soon fall tc pieces. Argument and exposure of theil evil designs caa hardly bo consid?r?e weapons; for tho majority of their voten are not influenced by these instrumen tali ti ea." "So far as losing heart is concerned we are hopeful of the future. But tl* downfall of radicalism is not to be ac 3omplished by seeking nogro votes. In deed, one great point will have boei gained when the negroes become satisfiet that we don't care hpw they vote; tba we can stand the result of their voting if they can. At present their idea i that we seek their vote* for our own pax poses, and with no good will for them It is idle, then, to try to persuade then to enter the Democratic fold; The onl; way to accomplish this ia to foi thom feel the oonseqnenoee of their voting radical. Let them feel the - Message of taxation, with the fall knowledge that their votes made it heavy. It is the only way of convincing them that their interests oo inoido with oars. All rneasurcs. looking to this end will rooeivo our earnest sup? port. But, in view of the fact that agi? tation has not gained ns votes in the past, we believe in reserving our strougth for the time when it will avail. As often as elections occur, every Democrat should vote, and thus keep np the party organi? zation. In tho meantime, do allow tho radicals the pleasure *>f quarreling among themselves. They are very good at it, and they can break up their party sooner than we can by 'pitching into it' on all occasions." FAIRFIELD.-Tho N'aies remarks, in re forense to the suggestions thrown out by radical demagogues to the freedmen: " 'Higher wages' depend on no 'labor unions' of unskillful laborers; for add and combine nothing to nothing as you may, nothing will result. 'Higher wages,' and comfort, and education, and pro? gress, will not come from 'small farms' in themselves, but, on the contrary, they promise, at present, to become mere re? ceptacles of ignorance, idloness, vice, poverty and death. Off to themselves, if a wrathful Providence ever permits tbe consummation of radical wickedness, separated from and hating their natural co-laborers and conservators, the edu? cated and intelligent whites, their mise? rable occupants, without science to di? rect or capital to turu to advantage thoir labor, will lag in the rear of our civiliza? tion, and one by one, in a few decades, will drop down and perish on the road. But 'small farms' or other property ac? quired by patient, skillful, docile labor, would, in time, expand into 'broad acres, ' cultivated by intelligent combinations of civilized men. Steady work-honest, skillful toil-that's it-there is the real secret of certain progress, bringing count? less blessings ripe for uso in its train. With tho flag of an imperial republic waving above them, the pledge of all of their just rights as citizens and as mon, tho freedmen can trust safely in steady work, in honest, skillful toil, but in that only be secure." SPARTANRURO.-Tho Spartan remaks, iu relation to the proposition to form a new political party in this Stnto: "Tho necessity of speedy, vigorous action is felt by every wiso and good man in tho State. But will the organi? zation of a party, under a new name, effect any good? Can wo reasonably ex? pect to recruit our ranks from tho ene? my's camp, by writing a new name upon tho old Democratic banner? Are wo ready for a compromise? What plunk in our platform can wo consent to give up? What articlo of tho radical creed can we afford to adopt? Suppose wo call ourselves by that very popular and un? meaning name, 'Conservatives,' wo would be Democrats still; the chango of name would work no ohango of principle, and our political enemies-would be moro stu? pid than we believe them to be, if they failed to understand this. The great paramount purpose of the Democratic party in Sonth Carolina to-day, is to de? feat the radical party, and save the State from tho bankruptcy, disgrace and ruin, into which it is being blindly and madly rushed by its present rulers. We would be constrained to avow tho samo pur? pose, by whatsoever name we might bo called. We have always loved tho old name, and we love it still-and are un? willing to have it ohanged. It is tho political patronymic of a host of patriots and statesmen who made themselves il? lustrious by a lifo-long advocacy of tho principles it represents. Surely their descendants cannot consent to dishonor them by blotting out the historic heral? dry, which has so long been inscribed upon their political banner, and yielding to the substitution of a now-fangled, time-serving name, which could only convict tho party of duplioity, by indi? cating a compromiso with oar opponents, whilst wo mean to make no compromise whatever. We have the most implicit faith in the ultimate triumph of the prin? ciples of the Democratic party, however great may bo the odds against us now, and say under this name and upon this line let us fight il out to the end." On another subject, it says: "A DISCRIMINATION.-Wo seo that the carpet-baggers are seeking to make themselves respectable by claiming all the Northern men in the State as of their class. Thoro nover was a greater n 1? take. We aro prond to know we havj a numorous body of Northern men who have como among us, and becomo iden? tified with tho country, that aro gentle? men; who rank high in tho osteom and respect of the people of the State; who have as great contempt for a carpet-bag? ger us if to the manor born; who spurn their pitiful attempts nt affiliation with them. Now, tho carpet-bagger is an ani? mal in tho shapo of man, who, finding that tho South was crushed and humili? ated undor radical rule, and that Benst Butler had not stolon quito all tho spoons, havo pulled up thoir stakes it the North, put. thoir estates in a carpet? bag, or somo other small thing, and 'left their country for their country's good,' and have dropped down upon us, and unitod with tho negroes and a fow de? graded scalawags to got themselves into offioe. Whereby thoy moan to glean the Sonth of what little she has left, thal they may join the Beast when they ro turn, (for they have no idea of remain? ing with ns longer than the gleaning time is over.) With all saoh a true Northern gentleman nover did and never will have anything to do." Tho Tupelo, Miss., Spectator, of the 24th, announees the death of Dr. Wm, Calhoun, who was taken suddenly ill While visiting a patient, arid died almost immediately. He was a cousin of Joh* C.
