Tho Constitution itealt says that the powers not delegated by It to the Government of the United Stutes uve reserved to the States and the people of the States, ‘That {g tho language of the Constitution, and when- ovor you swallow up the Stites in tho Federal Government you huve subverted that boa tiful nystom "of government under which this people havo prospered so gruatly for Avontury, until wo have become one of tho most if not the moat formidable uation on tho faco of the varth.

Now, my friends, thore 1s x fundamental differenco botwean the prrties in these respucts. ‘Tho Dorouratle party believes in the capacity of tho people to munage thelr own dumestic ulfatrs ut home, If the Republican party of to-day Is the Mneal descendant of the “ Federal’? party of 1703, to which Washington belonged, then the Demoeratle party 1s the lineal descendant of the Stute-supremacy fuction,—tho authors of the Virginin and Kentucky resolutions of 178,—wihilch resolutions furnished tha em- bodimentof the * Lost Cause,” for which the country was subjected to four years of rebellion and clvil war, e 3 ‘The variance between the parties at that time was as broad and distinct as it 1s now. ‘The Federalists of that day gave the people Natlonal freedom, established a Natlonat Union, s eltizenship as broad as the National territory, and 0 country that knew néthing less'than the whole National domain, ‘That was the National Union which George Wash- ington and, dis: party ngseciates catablished and naintained, and which the ‘resolutions of 03’? sought to reduce toa mere rope of sand,—a sort of voluntary partnership be- tween few politicul corporations, capable of being broken and dissolved at any moment, ‘The Repubdlicaus of to-day are willlng to aecept the title, and In fact clahn and Instst upon being Natlonalists instead of mere eltizens of “States.” ‘Thoy deny that they aro mere Virginians, Carolinians, or Tilinolsans, but’ they claim to ba Americans, and ns such aro eltizens of all the States and of the whole Union, and not of fractions of it, ‘The doctrine of Stato sttpremacy and of State Independenco was invented to protect slavery; it was an asser- tlon of the right of each State, whenever it was necessary to protect sinvery, to eclaré its Independance and to “resume its sover- olguty.” Slavery was the corner-stono of the Democratic party, which held, a3 was formulated In tho Constitution of Ken- tucky, that slaves wera property, and that the rights of property existed befora and wore superlor to all Inws and constitutions. In tho courso of timo the Democratis party undertook to carry out tho State-suvercignty resolutions of ’08,—the Democratic platform,—and evoked that strug- gle with American Nationality which ended in-the subjugation of those who asserted State independence, and at the same tima purged slavery and slave property out of ex- Istence, That war was between the Repub- lican and the Democratic parties; a war be- tiveen nunton of the whole Ameriean poo plo as one family anda temporary combina- tion between various political corporations, It was a war between American Nationality and a so-called combination of foreign “States” to destroy that Nationality, F Noman perhnps in the United States, not actively in the flold of war, has done so much by spacch and legislation to strip the “States”? of avery semblance of assumed indepenttence and sovereignty ns Jatt down in the resolu- tions of 08 ag this same man Trumbull. When he spenks of the Republican party seeking to “swallow up tho States in the Federal Government” he seems to hnye for- gotton the recent War in which the Southern States attempted to “ swalluw up the Federal Government.” ‘There is not o Stato In tho Nation which to- day has been abridged in or,donied any Tight, power, or liberty which such Stata ever enjoyed since the foundation of the Government and adoption of the Constitu- tlon except that the holding, owning, ant buying of human beings as prop- erty has been taken away, and further that no State has now tho right or power to deprive any citizen of tho ‘United States of his right to volo becnuso of hiscolor. ‘These prohivitions are alike upon all the States without exception, the rule belng uniform and not partial as heretofore, ‘Tho political equulity of all the people in all the States, instead of being abridged or con- tructed by the Republican party, has been enlarged and Irrepealably established and permanently fixed In tho Constitution. Mfr. ‘Trumbull can polut to no Intorference on the part of the Federal Government with tho political rights, liberties, cauality, or fran- chises of the American people or of the “States,” except in the two partic- ulars mentioned, aince the reconstriuc- tlon of the Rebel Democratic States after the Mebelllon’ War, The National Government has assumed no power that It did not possess before. It collucts the rev- enue inthe Southorn and all other States, en- ploying force for that purpose, but the power tudo this was asserted and exorcised as long. nyo ns 18h, whenGen. Jackson neserted the Natlonal authority in South Carolina, . ” ‘The National Election law has no refer- ence te any election save that for Congress- men. Vrevions to the War, and down to as late us 1607, the election of United States Benutors was regulated, controfled, and goy- ered by Stato suthority exeluslyely, In 1607 Congress by hu excluded the Stato regulations, and provided when and how and under what regulations and clreum- stances Stute Legislatures might lawfully elect Senators. ‘That was the most serlous and sweeping inturference with tha political Tights and liborties of the States that wus ov er enacted by the opublican party, and Mr, ‘Trumbull was blmself the author of that law, ; ‘Tho whole people of the United States are ag directly: Interested in having a falr ond honest election of Representatives in Con- greas as are the people of any ono of the yatlous pulitical subdivisions called States, Of what ayall Is it to the people of Chicago to cloct Representatives to the Stato Legiala- ture, ff In the majority of the othor counties of this State Representatives aro chosen by force, vinlence, Interference, and Intinilda- tion? Would any citizon object to a strong ant vigorous State law, enforced In every county, to secure an honest and peneeful election? ‘Tho interests of the whole country are involved In tho election of Representa tives. ta Congress, nud the people of the wholo Union aro direotly . Inter- estol in having such Ropresentatives honestly and fairly elected, Of what nyall fs it to the peoplo of Ilinols to send twenty Representatives to Congress, when there are over 100 Representatives ap- polnted to that body, not by the votes of tho peoplo of thelr districts, but by force, vio- lence, Intimidation, and fear? Is nota law having for its solo purpose n peaceful clec- tion and an honest return of the election of members of Congress a desirable Inw, ancl such nono ag any honest Government would usm matter of course provide? Yot Mr. "Trumbull, of whose personal recorit on all theso questions wo will, havo something to say hereafter, styles such alnw “a subver- sion of our beautiful syatem of government.” Tho whole Democratic iden Is founded upon the false, dangerous, and disunton thoory that thoro is nu such political body ns the * American poopie’; that we aro a mere aggregation of separate peoples, and that as tocach ot these communitics the Natlonal Government of tho United States Is a forelgn Government, aguinst which ench local corporation inust contend, and, If necessary, rebel. In the words of tho Republican plat form of 1873, the Amerlean people aro “a Nation,” and to preserve that Nationality against forelgn intervention or domestic re- yolt, Insurrection, nnd rebellion, Is the grent ond and purpose of the Repuvlican party. ———— THE TA OF THE BOURBON TICKET. Tho head of the Demo-Confederate ticket 1s poor cough, when his record as 0 stites- man fn the employ of Andrew Juhnson to nullify reeonstruction and restore State-su- premney is considered; the tall of tho tlelket fg still worse, ‘Nhat William IL Englist, tho candidate for Vice-President, is one of the worst speelmens of a Pro-Slavery Bourbon fossil {s susceptible of proof that no one can controvert., In 1853, in a public speech, ho th us defined his Democracy: ir, I claim to bo ono of th Rilurd,—one of thoso who never gave an opposl- uon voto, nover variud a a woof nh sade from Dontocrntlc, or punderel Uy the aihleat to Free-Soll, principles, Sir, those who are fainiiiar with iny political hlatory: know there t# no tain of Bree-Soitlars (1 my record, ¥ And what was his record?

Sinvery to be probibited In that portion set apart for the none slavehokliug, and to be recuenized in thit portion set apart for the sluvulioldins eeution, tho status of each on tho subject of slavery to remain unchanged during the Territorial condition; © but when the populution in tny portion of tho territory set apart to elther section shall equal orexeced the retin ra- (tired for n itepresuntative in Congress, and tho people shall huye formed and ratited a Consti- tutton, and asked. zdinission into tho Union 1s 1 Bhite, such State shall bo adetted with or wit! out slavery, 18 sueh Constitution may preseell fF ‘The rights of property in slaves 1 the slaves olding States and Jn the portions of the terrl- torles set apart for tho sinveholding section shall not be destroyed or Impaired by legialation in Congress, in tho ‘Territorics, or in the tone sinveboulding States; and whonover a fuyltlye shallbe rescued from his inister, or frum tho proper United States officers, hy rengon uf mob yiulenee or State legistution in conilict with the Constitution or liwe of the United States, or yor slave shall, In ike munnor, he res- ig master while tn trinalt through any non-slaveholling State, the city, county, or township In which such rescue is tnade shull bo Itable to the muster In double. the value of the lave, recoverable In tho United States courts. Slavery fs dead, but there Is no record to show that Mr. Engllsi’s principles have changed, or that le in any manner reponts of his Infamous'erimo against humanity. Slavery was. based upon States-rights,- secession was based upon State-rights, and William IL English, a Democrat, as he says, who never changes In hls bollefs or principles, now that slavery and sececession tire things of the past, clings to State- rights, lo was the tuvl of Southarn sluve- drivers In the diys of slavery. Ie wasn Copperhead In tho days o£ the War, He fsa Southern sympathizer now, and an adyoente of this infamous doctrine, The party which ho represents pledged itself at Cinclunat! to “the traditions of the Democratic party, as illustrated by the teachings and example of along tne of Democratic patriots and stutes- men,” chief among which traditions is this odious dogma of State-rights. If elected, thorefors, to the Vico-Presidency, can thereby any doubt how his vote would be cast in the Senate? If by the ordinary contingency he should take tho chief place, ts. there any doubt how his power would be usod? ‘There is every proof that the Democratic party nomlnated Mfr. English at the dicta- tion of the Suuth, because that section knows: he Is in sympathy with it and will carry out its wishes, If a man were to be seletted for hits personal record, the Democrats of Indians, would never have named him. Senator Me- Donald would poll 10,000 more votes, Asa man, English Is distasteful to Indlann Demo- erats, and a man who Is distasteful to them must be a protty mean person, ‘The In- diana Democracy, has always opposed and hated National banks,” and he Js a Natlonal-bank President, The Indl- ann Democracy has alwnys been in favor of fiat money, and he ts and always hos been for hard monoy, and as much of it as he can grab, ‘Throughout his own State ho ts known ago stingy, mean, rich man, pluch- Ing, squeozing, and grasping, taking overy- thing-that comes in his way and giving noth- ing.

To entertain such an {dea for an in- stant would bo a Hbel upon tho Intelligence, and chnracter, and humanity of the people of that State, ; Id Demoorntio ——_— WE print elsewhoro an article taken from the columns of the Detrolt Post aud Trib une, In which the writer quotes from the Constitution and tho statutes’ to show that the appolntnient of Presidantlal Electors is clearly within the power of the States through thelr Legisiatures, [thoy are «dls- posed to use It, Instead of by the direct vote of the people, ‘This hay been donc repented ly. Prior to 1634 It was the rule, and slnco that time {t has more than once oceurred, Delaware, Georgia, Loutstana, New York, and Vermont tn 1893, Florida $n 1868, and. Colorado in 1870, chose thelr Electors through their Legislatures, South Carolina always appointed her Electors by the Lugis+ lature down to the thuu of the Slaveholders’ Hebellion.
