Ingersoll’s speech telivered on the same day at Rockford, ean scarcely have failed to be impressed with the conviction that tha Integrity of the American system of Rovernmont fs largely Involved in the Issue of the pending National election, Wo do not nienn to aflrm by this that Gen, Muncock's election will lend directly fo disruption, or that 8 Democratic vivtory per so mennces the Nation with an abandonment of tho present American system of guveriment based on popular elections, But both Gen. Grant and Co). Ingersoll made ft clear to those who had not reached 9 similar conclusion, from thelr own reasoning that Democratic ballot-box stufling and fraudulent voting Js a long first stop In the divectlon of Mexleantzation, It will condone und encourage fraud und ylo- lence as controling Jniluencea In American politics. . That done, the descent into chuos and anurchy will be an casy one, ‘The chief reason which Gen, Grant alves for belng 4 Republican at this tide Is be cuuse “ there Ix not 8 precinct In this vast Nation where a Democrat cannot cast his ballot, and Luve it counted as it was cast, no tiutter whut the predomnance of the op: posit party,” while there are “fourteen States, aud localities In sume others, where Republicans haye not this privilege.’ Col, Ingersoll made a characteristic declaration of ts Independence,—insisting that “he be- longa to no party, and Is the proporty of no man,”—and then give as his prinelpal nio- tives for neting with the Republican party that he “believes {n free speech,” and that ho “wants. an honest vote.” Every man who bolfeves in the republican systom of government ought to take the same position. But no man who entertains such v sentiment and gives ita proper yaluo ean consistently vote with the Democratie party, whose hopa of victory Is based pon the obylous, almost avowell, fraud and violence, ‘disfranchise~ ment and ballut-box stufing, which coutrol the result of tho elections In several of the Southern States. ‘Tho American people, ns a whole, are so prosperous, so sanguine, and so contented that they enjoy a senso of security up to tho very verge of disaster. ‘This wag the cnso also $1 1860, ‘They scarcely renlized that n eivil war had been forced upon them by dem- Agogs ani traitors until the contending arintes had b.cn marshaled an the ficld of battle and the lsts of dead and wounded had been reported back to thelr friends, Bo, at the present time, they seem to be blind or in- diferent asa rule to a must dangerous condl- tlon of polities In one section of the country, which, if permitted to prevail and grow, will Do ag fatal to the Republic as the Rebellion would haya been If Grant had surrendered tu Lee nt Appomuttox, * We are tpon thoedze, to-day, of Mexicunization,’ sald Col, Inger- soll; ‘wo are tpon tho edge of chaos.” ‘Tho statement Js not exaggerated. A popular system of government rests upon’ the fair and honest expression of the popu- Jur wilh. Whenever — that popular will ean be successfully put down by intimidation, or tho expression thera of defeated by -fraud, the Govornment ig menaced with rupture, It Is of a kind that caimot endure under such w condition, It would be like a house without 'a founda- tion or 0 ship without a rudder, The peo- ple must be convinced that the result of an election henestly reflects the popular will; otherwise discontent, unrest, protest, and revolt hurry along in rapid succession, ‘The sentiment in Gwor of sone other form of government that shall not be guided by fraud, violence, and bailot-box stunting will increase nnd spread with a rapidity that cannot be imagined. ‘Tha mufority party, when thus defented, will always chate pin- der a sense of unbearable injustice, and long tonssert its rights, It fy this spirit whieh accounts for the recurring revolutions In Mexico anit tho South American States, where the ballot ting beeome a mere sham; and there Is nothing int the United States to protect the Republic from similar disaster whenever the people shall become convinced that free speech, freo ballot, and an honest count of the yotes are no longer possible, * ‘The election frauds practiced in the South heretofore have been localized. ‘Their alm atthe Natlonal Government was warded off four years ugo through a renimantof power that had been left for correcting the frauds, There !s not the slightest hope of justice from the Dencratie election judges In the Southorn States this year. ‘The Republican majorities of Miasissipp!, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alwbama, Louisiana, snd Florida will surely be disCranchised,—partly by brutal and armed intlmidation of Jong standing which prevents Republicans from votlng; partly by stuffing of batlot-boxca, whieh neutralizes thetr votes; and partly by predetermined and systemutle cheating tn the count, which makes the form of an election n farce and a fraud. All these frauds wil be condoned and ratified by the Demperntic Returning Boards, and jf Gen, Ilancock shall unter the White House he will owe hig position to this infernal system of elvetlon frauds, This fact will not be coneented nor even obscured, It will be patent to tho defeated as well as the suevessful party. Lt will create Intense dlssatistuetton, dissent, and protest. It will he followed by retallution, Successful cheat- Ing-in one State will lead to efforts in the sane direction in other States. Intlinida- tlon, violence, and ballot-bux stulting will be come common practices, not In one section of the country merely, but ty all sections, Fraud will become the most available element In Amerlean pollties, so Jong as tha people shall bo willlng to submit to fraud as tho controlling furce of government. After that will coms revolution, anarchy, and chaos, 17 ‘These facts lave a direct bearing upon tho present contest for the Presidential otticuand the coutrol of the Nattonal Legislature, be- enuse the frauds in (he Southern States, of which tho people In the remainder of the country are suMelently warned, are Hicely to affect the political destiny of the whole Na- tlon. It isnot within the power of tho pcopla who believe in honest elections to go tuto the Suuth and beat back the threatened villainy, and the public sentient of the South seems to be blunted to all appeals in-bohalf of honesty. But it is within the power ofa uiajorlty of the Northorn people to prevént the Southern system from asserting its sway over the Natlon uss wholo and thereby threntenIng tho destruction of the Republic, ‘The Democratic party id to bo the beneflclary and aveessary before the fact in the terror {sm and villainy by which the expression of the popular will Is to be stifled in certain of (he Southern States, Every man who votes with the Democratic party at the North will actively participates In tho contemplated selzure of the Government by fraud, and will bo porsonally responsible for the logical re-" sults of such a proceeding, ‘Tho Amerlenn Repubile cannot endure without a free ballot aud a falr count of honest votes, and when ever the destiny of the Nation shall be guided by the destruction of these mainstays of popular government, nothing short of revaluation can restore the republican system, if Indeed My can over bo retstabiishud, : THE SPLIT IN GEORGIA, Ina recent Issue of Tue Tamuny refers ence was mado to the factional division of the Demverats of Virginia into “ Funders” sud * Readjusters,” sud the opportunity It gave the negroes of that State of obtaining thelr rluhta, since they held me balance of power and were underthe protection of white men, who, with their help, will have a ma- Jority, and consequently have every induce- ment (o secure them in thelr polltieal rights, Ashmilar division of tha Democracy has hap- pened In Georgla, with the result that the campalgn is waged with even greater bitter- hess than in Virginia, and the negro is In sulll greater demand, both faetlons making extraordinary bids for tho colored vote, su that between the two there {s no question put thut ho will cast his voto and have it counted also, ‘Tho Atluuta correspondent of the Cin clunati Gazette gives a graphic sketch of the wltuation, During tho Admintatration of Gov, Colquitt, uctctermlned fight wos madeagalnat lim by the men who could notcontrol hin, , by those upon whom he refusett to bestow the patronuge of his office, and by some oth: ers whe conselentilously belleved that his Administration was Injurfous to the best In- terests of thy Stute.

In the opening of his fanious speech in reply to Mr. Jtayne, Webster called attention, by an ad- mirablo simile, to the fact that to the resolu- tion before tho Senate the gentleman from South Carolina had not “pal even tho colt respect of a passing glance”? Democratic speakers and editors are siinilarly silent iu _| regard to the principtes enunclated In the Cinelanati platform. In the outsat the Dem- ocratic party said In that document: “Wo pledge ourselves anew to tho constitutional doctrines and traditions of the Democratte party, as illustrated by the teachings and ex- amples of along Mne of Democratic atates- men and patriots.” ‘The Kentucky and Vir- ginla resolutions of 1708, and tho Kentucky resolution of 1799, declaring the States inde- pendent of the | Unton, and justify- Ing secession, coustitute a “tradition” of tho Democratic party, and — tho example of John ©, Callioun in 1830 fn at- tempting the nullifieation of laws of tha Nation, and that of numerous Democratic Senators and Representatives In Congress traitorizing In 1801, constitute vivid fllustra- tions of this Democratic tradition.
