1 ' - i t i lleiiry Wilson at Great Falls. ! Hon. Henry Vilson said:. i Here to-night I assert it, and there is I not a man on. God's earth can contra- diet it, for the record is against him, j that from the year 1832, when William. IJoyd Garrison and eleven other rami? ful and fearless men signed their names to the declaration that black men had a right to liberty, and that they would do what they could, sanctioned by law, t humanity, and religion, to emancipate the bondman, and to lift up the poor ; and lowly in the land, from that day to this hour, every moment of the time, I and on every distinct Issue, the -De mo .cratic party has been on the Wde of j. privilege, the side of caste, the side of a l brutal, ignorant, degraded barbarism. treasured by the standards oi the philosophers and statesmen of the ages,; ; measured by the law of the living God, j there has not been a moment when it was not clearly, plainly, distinctly, un qualifiedly wrong. It has been wrong, 1 and it is wrong now, and I fear It will ; continue to be wrong. The Republican party, made up as it has been of men who came out of other organizations because they were con-; vinced that the party of freedom and ; humanity was the party of the country, ! has at all times, in every struggle, in peace and In war, been on the side of tho country, the side of liberty, the elfin nf instiee. the side of humanity. the bide of a progressive Christian civil ization. ..." I my there has not been a moment in all those years when the champions of human rights have not occupied a position wms uiu uuuauau women who belong to it or sympathize with it could not take it into their closet, and. on their Denaea Knees, i invoke the blessing of God upon,n. I was born in poverty; want sat by mv cradle. I know what it is to ask a inntiior fnr bread when she has none to irive. I left my home at ten years of - age and served an apprenticeship or i eleven years, nxx-iviug uwy i chonlinp- each vear. and at the end of eleven years of hard work, a yoke of oxen and six sheep, which brought me ' io-htv-fnnr dollars. Eisrhty-four dol lar fnr plpvon years of hard toil ! I: npvnr snent the amount of one dollar in mnnpv. rountincr every penny from the time f was born until I was twen- tv-one years of ae. 'I know what it is to travel weary miles and ask my fel low men to give me leave to toil. a. ' "Vc have made labor honorable, even! in tho. rice swamns of the Carolinas and fleorcria: we have taken the brand of dishonor from the brow of labor throughout the country ; and in doing that ifhmd work we have done more for labor, for the honor and dignity of 9 laboring men, than was ever acnievea by all the parties that arose in this, country from the time tho Pilgrims put their feet upon Plymouth Rock up to the year usw. : I Appiause.j Let the man who toils for wages, whether in the mill, on tho farm, or in the mechanic shop, realize what has been done during these last dozen years to lift from toil the badge of dishonor, and to open the great South to the free laboring' men or tno worm, ici mm remember with crrateful heart that he owes it all. under Providence, to the Ilerjublican oartv. Auction-blocks, bloodhounds, the lash, chains, manacles, cannot go their now. They have sunk down to the place from whence they came to the bottomless pit, and the lower ddep of the bottomless pit. We passed the homestead bill, and James Buchanan vetoed it. and the Democratic party .supported him in that veto, but the first year the llepub- 'lican party came into power, in the midst or the struggle ior national ex istence, it passed the homestead bill, and. saved the public lands to the free laboring men of this country forever and forever. ! I am glad that workitigmen are com plaining. Iam glad the workingincn of Kurooe are getting discontented and want better wages and are getting higher wages and fewer hours. 'I fie first month I worked after I was twenty-one years of age I went into the woods, drove team, cut mill-logs, wood, rose in the morning before day light and worked hard until after dark at night, and I received for it the magnif icent sum of six dollars. Each of those dollars looked as lanre to me as the moon looks to-night. (Laughter. ToHlay the laloringmen and women f our countrvare earning from three to four times as much in a day as they could earn forty years ago, and a day's work is shorter now than it was men. I am grateful to God that this is so. I do not care anvthinsr about a few men orcorporationspilingupagrcataraourlt J of monev. The wealth of the Astors, the Stewarts, and tho Vanderbilts has no allurements for me. I believe God made this world to grow good men and women, and not to pile up money .-4-That is my belief, and Xwant to see the men and women who bear the bur dens and do tho work have a full share of .all thev earn, and thai-an honest ilav'a work shall always, have a fair da v's mv. I Loud Applause.1 V A man is a man, no matter where he was born or .what blood courses in his veins. I believe' that God made him and Christ died for him, and that he is flestined to an immortal inheritance.- I believe, too, in that; comprehensive imlicv that watches over the poor and lowly and takes care of the interests of all the worm ; Dut, alter an, i nm ior the Republic of the United States, one and indivisible, and the people of thp United States, before any other coun try or any other people. Applause,( One would siiDDOse. to hear our Dcm- J any corruption before; that they,hari always been pure, because they never mnished a thief. (Applause and aughter.l I propose right hero to lay down this proposition : that tho reason why this Administration is so assailed is not. that It has been more corrupt, lor as corrupt as its modern pn decessors, but that it is doing much to expose thieving and to punish men who steal. The per centage of loss under the Ad- ministration has been less than under! -i r xx 1 4 1 . r at . 1 t . t I anv Administration since General Jack son was inaugurated President of the United States, There is not a shadow of doubt of It. I assert here and noW, that there has been a less percentage! of loss under General Grant's administra tion than under that of ony other Ad ministration since-the days of John Quincy Adams. John Tyler, a son! of President Tyler, in a letter ;recen(ly published, states, that there were, iin Van Buren's administration, ninety eight receivers of the public money, ninctv-si.x of whom became defaulters. Ninety-sir out of ninety-eight! Laughter.l Is there any man here to night who knows that any one of those men was ever sent to the penitentiary? The difference between Republicans and Democrats on this question Is this : tho Republicans try to discover and punish their thieves; the Democrats never, punish theirs. , You cannot tell me to-night of a man who stole from the national Government under; a Democratic administration who .was sent to tho penitentiary. Under this Administration several thieves have been sent there. ' I "We have a class of men who are al ways looking behind them. They have never been satisfied. They have taken their position on the great issues of the last forty years and been wrong every time. They linger behind their age. All their predictions nave laiiea. They are the instruments of defeats and failures. Still these men continue I tb believe that all the statesmanship of the country is gone. They once looked up at the slave-masters of the South, who were their masters, too, when they stood on the heads of their negroes. They looked pretty tall then. A great convulsion came, and it shook them from their high position, and they looic nuite as small now as other people. But our Democratic friends do not see it: the old illusion still haunts them. Men cannot be wrong all the time for fortv vears and be convicted Of their folly in an hour. Until that political organization has been convicted Of its wickedness, repents, of .its sins, and brinsrs forth the fruits of repentance,. the Government of the United States cannotbo safe inlts control- Its history. nnrl hf elements of which it is com rnsexi alike forbid that it should bo again intrusted with power. . In the past sixteen years we Repub licans have taken from the Democratic party more than a million of its best men taken the cream right .off of it. rAnnwPi , PJJS the masses of the Demo cratic party accept the vital ideas of patriotism, of equality for all and pro tection to allt will it be safe to intrust the mighty interests of the nation to that political organization. Its "new denarture" is a delusion: its "passive policy" is a snare. Neither the one nor the other win oe aaoptea, pecause it is right. If either be adopted at all, it will be in the hope to win power, to defeat the full fruition of the great work achieved by the Republican party- - .. ... I Stand by the ltepuDiican colors. They symbolize patriotism and liberty, justice and humanity, development and progress. Trust yourselves: correct your own errors; move right onward, abreast of the advancing currents of a progres sive republicanism. look to your his tory; do not blur nor blot that immor tal record. Let it be an inspiration.1 a perennial source of faith and hope, in sunshine and in storm. In the years tr eomp. when the missions and nreiu- dices of these days of conflict shtill have sunk to rest with us in the bright here after, the record f the last twelve years will be a brilliant chapter in the history of human progress. The world will note it, and mankind will read it with beaming eye ana throbbing heart. Who got Swepson off from all his prosecutions in. Western North Caroli- nav JM. tohipp, our Democra 1C Attorney General. HI- i jressional District: Fellow Citizens: lieing a cam date to represent you in the next Con gress of the United States, I ask the at tention of such as i snail not meet per sonally during the campaign, to this Circular. Upon the general questions that divide oublic ODinion. it is enouirh to say that-I am a Republican ; and favor the re-election oi uovernor ualuwell, and rresident (irant. ilv views upon the financial topics of the clay not precisely included in the platform of either political party, are as follows: I. If elected.-1 shall endeavor to have tho Internal Revenue System abolished. In rsorth Carolina its interference with old and permanent forms of production and industry, no less than its direct burdens as a tax, and the disaster, and sometimes ruin, which its enforcement brings upon those who violate its pro visions, olten innocently or inadver tently, are most vexatious and offensive. These are results not peculiar .to the present system, but apparently inse parable from any system which draws by direct taxation immense sum.3 of! money from the people. I think that the experiment should cease. It is ob- vious that a repeal of this law wUl act as a bounty upon wide-spread and valu able interests amongst us ; and thus the very arguments which prevail, in be half of such interests in other parts of the country, to give a protective charac ter to the Tariff, demand, in favor of ours, the repeal of this excise tax upon Tobacco and Distillation. I II. In mv opinion it is impolitic to raise revenue from the neoDle for anv further payment towards the principal of the JNatlonal Debt, until the same becomes demandable. .. s What has oeen clone in that way hitherto has been good policyas going to establish public credit, rendered questionable by tho confusion which followed the recent war, and especially by the financial views of distinguished leaders of political opinion in other parts of the Country. The Adminis tration or uenerai urant has already paid some three hundred and fifty mill ions of the principal of this debt : and unaer existing legislation, ueiore any change, such as I propose, can be effected, it is probable that Five Hun dred Millions of it will have been paid. The principal of this debt is demand- able partly in about ten, and partly In about thirty years. The wealth of the country is ad vancincr with strides ' so the periods payment of this principal will be felt as a burden only one-half, and probably not more than one-fourth of what it is now. In the meantime Xorth Carolina will have recovered from her nresent mralvsis. Such re covery will be hastened by the policy of drawing as little money from.' her people by taxation, as the present needs of the country.demand. S . III. Therefore, I propose that- the revenue of the United States shall be 1 i: i 1 m i n t a a a. raised entirely by a Tariff, the objAt of Which shall be to colipct no more than the amount needed to meet current. de mands on account of our Is ational Debt, and to defray the ordinary expenses of administering the Government, such expenses to be reduced at every oppor tunity, towards the simplest require ments of a time or peace ana quiet. .
