C., Sopt. 5.—At the confer- onee held here yesterday with Becretary Cam- cron, it was declded to instruct Gen. Augur to so disposo of the troops in South Carolina and other States in the South that political moctings will be protected from interruption by armed mobs, like Butler's bandits. Senutor Patterson, of South Curoling, says to-dsy that the only way to get the Unlon vote out s to hold large mectings at central points, for the Republicans would not dare risk their lives by at- tempting to go on tho plantations to talk to tho ncgrocs, Tho plan adopted by the armed bands ‘of - White-Liners to attend in large numbers all Republican meet- ings and {nterrupt them by demandiug and en- forcelng a division of time in speaking has, In nany cases, so frightencd the negroes that they fear to attond the mectings, and may not have confidence enough to go td the polls and vote. APPLICATION HAS BEEN MADK to the authorlties here that the military forces of the United States should be distributed in Florida as follows: Ono company at Marengo, inJdackson County; one company at Tallakas- see, in Ston County; one company at Blvedas, in Buwannee County; one company at Sander- son, in Duval County; ond one company at Gaineaville, in Alachua Couunty. These pointa are in tho great colored belt, It is claim- ed that the stationing of troops thers would give pretdetion aud a fecling of sccurity in the countics, which are the chief colored counties.

HIS SPEECII AT LAPONTE, Bpecial Diwatch to The Tribune. LAPORTE, Ind,, 8ept. 6.—Even a dull, rainy, cheerless day did not scrve to dampen the ardor of the Republicans in and around Laporte, and the announcement that Gov. Morton was to speak quickencd the old fires of devotion and patriotism, snd brought together an audience of fully 2,000 people. It was decidedly intelll- gent in quality, and included not o few ladies. Gov. Mortou spoke in the Hayes and Wheeler wigwam, which, thanks to the good taste of the ladies, had been handsomnely. ar- ranged with flowers, flags, and evergreens. The platforin and the tables were Nberally sti-off with flags and large bouqucts, while over the patforn had been crected an arch cuvered with flags and evergreens. From its .centre hung o patriotic motto and a basket of flowers, at the right & portrait of Waahington, ind at theleft one of Lincoln. Inthe frontof the platform and fastened to the timbers of the wigwam, hung a tattered and battle-stalned slik flag of the Eighty-scventh Indfana Regiment. Ou it wos Inscribed the words, * Chickamauga, Bept. 9,""—~the rest had been carrded away by Rebel bullets. A revolving chale and a Helt table had been provided for the speaker, who {ised an easy, almost conversational, tone in ad- dressing his audience. At timvs, however, his words and his tone grew more and more em- phatie, and, as he deait his ponderuus blows on the Democratie party, the buildlng resounded with applause and cheers, The Governor arrived at the wigwam shortly after 3 o'clock, and was recelved with burst af- ter burst of applause. After the applause had subsided, the Hayes and Wheeler' Campalgn Club pave one of their campaign songs, after which Gen., Packard introduced Gov. Morton in gome well-chosen remarks. The spplnuse wus renewed, and lasted for sonic moments, after which the Governor began his address. He sald it wan about twenty years since he Nrst came to Laporte, when he was the Repub- lican candidate for Lientenant-Governor. The Republican party bud been organized only the winter before. It was in an unformed and somewhat chaotic condition, snd he cameto Laporte, o total strauger, to tatk to the people about QUESTIONS TREN IN 18SUE. ¥ Two years before the Missourl Compromise had been repealed,—a breach of falth which shook the Unlon to its foundations. He remembered saying to the people of Laporte County then, that If the country escaped clvil war, 08 one of the results of that breach of falth, the Govern- ment would be most fortunate. This view he had never had occasion yet to take back, and the causes which he then discuseed had resulted in civil war, He was glad to azain meet the poople of Laporte Coun- ty. Mc bad scen many famillar foces in Laporte, and ho was glad to say that Le had found in the county firm and true fifends, who rallied pmmpn¥ at the call In the cause of thelr country. {Applause.) Yet, his visit was not one slmply 0 plensure. Tho puw came to dis chargo what he regarded as ... A DUTY TO 118 CODNTRY AKD TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY. In a few weeks the country must decide fn what hands the Government shiould be placed, and not for the next four years only. Should tho Government fall into” the hands of the Democratie party, there was reason to be- Heve, from its past history and from its princl- les, that much that had been donc sinee the owulunn aud durlng tho Rebellion, would be undone, and the Govermment of the United States would be changed nnd planted upon o different set of principles, The simple question, fa which everyhody wus fhterested, wis, “Into whore handa abould the Government bo committedy”" It must be oneof twu parties, for thero waa no passibility of succeas on the part of.a third candldnte, It wonld be Tilden or Jt would be Iayus, and he invoked his audience, aa Demo- crats, and as Republicans, to & “careful considera- tlon of the questions fnvolved, Ina few years, they woutd hiave passed awny, and thelr chilliren wanld have taken' thoir places. 1na faw yoars tiie passlons which now eontralled | people mare or less would have mibsided, and they should look back upon their actlon at this time, and, If thoy had acted unwisely, thoy would regret it, and conld mnot woothe " their feel. ings by the party passion or - prejudice under which they mught act. 1le knew no way of determining the clinracter and intervets of A man wxcent by hia past ife.

As he judged of an individual 80 e muat judge of a party, which was slinply an aggrogation of individusis.” Tle wus willlng that TIE NEFUBLICAN PAUTY should be judged b{ the standard of what It had done and what were its principles, and the Demo- cratic party inuat submit to the samo test. While confemsing” that the Hepublican party had been wronf n mm’:l ‘m ng'n. ety all ucstlons appertaining to human o brescrvation. of the Unfon, und the enppros: slonof tho Rebcllion, the Republican party had beenright. Kven the Domocrats now confossed that it had also been right in regard to all the questions aince that time, and the Lemocrats con- ceded this, nnd accepted It. The vmy was right in its rcconetrnction meawures, which wero renlly the carrylniz out of tho principlos of the Declara- tian of Independence. " [Applause.] As to the Democrutic party, ithndbeen on the other side of these great questiony, Both the Southern and Northern wings of the party wero in favor of hu- Tan siavery.. Whils there were, hindreds of thow- aanda of ooil Democrats at the North who supporl- od the Uovernment, yet Lhe party, 8 an orgnn- Ization, waa at war with the Unfon, Ta the He- publican party alosic waa dua the great facf that TO-DAY THERE WAS AN UNDIVIDED COUNTRY, {Applanso.) 60, then, the Republican party was wlmnu’ to bo Judged by the record of the pust, The Domocrats, on the ofber hand, were oppased (o baying tholr record Investigated, und, instead of sabmliting to that, caine forward with professions of reform, 'They n!)puand in the role of veform- ers and purlfiees of the Government. They charged il imanner of corruption on tha Hepublican parly, and asked the country to belleve that purity exfated in thew alone. Thete was ona test of honesty in partics, us in chnrches or other bodics, ‘Tho Te- wubllcun party hod exposed {ts corrupt memblfr llm Democratle party hod cloaked and concealo ite misdeeds, ‘The Republicans were quite os . likely to ba honest In office as tho Democrals, and thelr charge to the canlmr{ the speaker put aside wilh contempt.
