With all governments under a!f con

of L-e istance to rightful ; 01,

Withers Irauied the c.tustitu.l ion they
Kept io view btlli ihese dangers. To
prevriit wars, to extend Ihe blessings ol
peace and good 01 iler o\ er our broad
domains, ihey formed our Union. To
s.ive u fumi co 1 rupiions and eri'ois which
would begeneraieil in goyer iiiient le_ r >
isliitiiig ai ifne point f>r a country so
vast and vaikid 111 its interests, tiwy pie

lliei.t: iiainns, their s.icia.l structures, tin I
the yower to elii eel and eoiiirolad thi g>
u.at rcla'ed to their home interes',. Wi- ii
great euieand wisdom i-h«y defined tiie
;j;ii isdi jtion ol general and slate govern
nieuts. We liilV i'in opinion as lo the
exact li.nhs ot these, and these diller.n
ces iliv ide us into parlies; bill all agree
that loose limits exist ati I are essentia'
to the safety ol our political ins: il lit ions.
'l£very iuicdigeni citizen teels the ii augur
to the republic when states, attempt t>
t;e«ijst the rightful authority of (lie gen
eral uovi'iuiiujunt. On the other hand,
ihere is no intelligent man who does not
admit that t,.0 destruction ot the tighls
• >\ ould be followed by corruptions and
abuses which in the end would shatter
our contry into lragments. In no other
land aie the topics of public discussion
icf greater dignity or value linn those
which engage the attention of the Amer
ican people. The strusttire ol our so
ciety, the-na'lire of our oiviliz ition, the
the divcr-ified industries )f our people,
are all affected by tlw action of oiy varied,
political bodies, troin the smallest organ.
I iza ion w-p to the legislatures ot the kta'.es
and ol the Union. It is true that there
is much ol passion, ot preju tree, and of
sdlisli purpose which mar to a d.gree
the dignity awl the wisdom of oi:r po
litical actio". But still it is true that it
is a graiid system ol p >pular ins'i uction,
thai its di-cilssrou tends to educate and
elevate, and that the results have exceed
ed the most sanguine hopes ol those who,
a hundred \ ears ago, sought to Uuild up
govcKiiincnts which should prove a bless
ing the vast population ol our Union.
That man. is wanting in mcu'al or moral
development who dfres not know nor
ca: 0 about our public all i rs. Il is 1111
uid'Herence born of ignorance. He bj
'comes a tool in the hands oJ toe coiiu, t.
The questions which agitated the n.kills
of o»ir fathers are those which concern
us to day. How shall we save our
Uni JII from destruction by violencer and
how siia.l we save it from the more sub
tle dangers of corruption and ot selfish
schemes? How shall we make the gen
eral government strong wilhiu its light
ful jurisJictioii, and bow shall we pre
vent it from overstepping its limits, and
making it a source of evil ? TI.B subject
which, should arouse the alleution and
excite the ear..cst thoughts ot every
American citizen is toward which -f these
perils are we now drilling? We differ as
to the fact thai there is daimer if wo cir
in either dj^ctiou..
To put pa strong light thedu'y which
U.e pei.pl™! the North owe to them
selves and their couUry, of making a
scrutiny into the practices of the govern
ment, to learn Uit is mvadwg ben
rightaanil interests, I avail' myself of
lhe sUteiucn.s made by the senior Sena
tor of the slate in * ' cce,l . ,l >
made in New York. As it is flue UX
lUc largest share of the population, o
lhe wealth and of the varied intereotsaml
pursuits ol our peop'e ace it. the North,
CKU section of our Union, they will sul,

hi' comparative interests of tlu North:
was maiJe to see the danger which over- j
hung them, il' the government at Wash- i
isiit on, which 60 unequally represents I
population or j ursuils, should legislate!
unduly v. i!h regard' lo Ihein. He dwells !
on the fact that the Southern sta'es have j
in the Senate and in the electoral coKege ,
representations beyond what their mini- I
bers would give tliem, and that il is not j
just or wise to subject Northern inter- j
ests lo Uie'acti >n ol a Uody thus consti- j
luted. Unt why docs he stop here? !iv |
does. he not also tell you that his cindi j
date an I hi- party make all this danger
by centralizing power at Washington? j
Why does he not exhibit to you other !
and greater inM.anoes of unequal Sen |
alorial representation? Why does lip*:

of fuel and his argucmciil, and show the j
uisd mi of the provisions ol our Consti-. !
ta.ion tha: limit the action ot our general \
governnieut so that it may not become
usij ist and oppres.-ive as a result of tl+fs i
uneqial division ofpover in its control?]
lie coiifWtes hjiuself to fiircateiiutli evil-

fact that these evils glow out of the eon- •
struition put upon the constitution b,y I
UIOJC who have contiolled the gem-nil
govcrnine;>t IIM' many \ears. If the ratio ;
of represeulation Irom the Soutn is a j
peril to our country, then greito;' diss j
l antic 3ln other sections are greater
dangers.
It the con-=t it u! sx)ii of the Senate makes il!
an unfair tribunal, why do Mr. (Jartleld |
ruul others demand that the great home j
rights and i.u(ei;c»ts glial, beconlrtdl.il by j
ii? II there is injustice in its action, it is j
owing lo the policy ot tire Republican
parly in extending its jurisdiction against
(he letter and spirit of the constitution. ;
Within thc-sc the influence of the S uate j
will be a securit/ against inj-taiico and
sectional designs. When il oversteps its
jurisdiction it becomes a peril to our ,
c mntry. The arguments ot '.lie KepublU
can leaders mean Iliad iliey li ivo pervert-,
ed the Senate and mi le it an unfair j
tribunal, and iherelore the government j
eJmuld be let! in (heir baud*, lest othws j
fh'Hild lo as they have done. O.i the j
other hand we demand that the organi- j
anion of our government sha-ik nut be;
p'i verlfdv 8 ; all not be made a curse, but j
a blessing. Under the constitution it is ]
a wii'e and just system. Under the Re
publican policy it has btcn dangerous
and unjust. This is the great issue be
tween the par ies. lie maps out hi u
striking way all the great interests of the
Northern section, and then says if the
WciHoeraik pari) carry this election
they all lie at the mercy of the minority
ol the pe.'pJr,, who, he charges,*'arc ani
mated by hostile sentiments. Let us
Itkc up, then, (he statement of (lie lac's
and (Tic line of argument where (lie Sen
ator leaves off, and we shall reach con
clu£ion» which prova the necessity to the
prosperity of our country of a change in
its administration;; we will prove thai
wliUe we have been absorbed lor I went)
years by questions growing out of resis
tance to the action of the general govern

businessinciucitiKiis ot all puisuiis, to
reflect awhile upou the following fac s:
beyond the inequality of Southern rep
resentation. upon, which Republican
leaders dweli so much, ' you will find
by looking at the census of 1870 that,
