Pifteen or twenty thousand persons | would be the anpihilation of the revetiton, the unity wore present, and great enthusiasm was manifested. Among the prominent speakers were Senator Wil- ®on, of Massachusetis; General Sicklea, Governor Hawley, of Connecticut; Ex-Senator Cresswell, of Maryland; Hennibal Hamlin and others, The Principal speech of the day was that of Senator Wilson, who took for his text “The Republican and Democratic Partics—what they have done and What they propose to do.” After giving his at- tention at length to the contest originating in the Kansas struggle, followed by the exciting scenes 1n Congress in 1560-61, the secession of the Southern members, the attack upon Fort Sumter, the uprising of the peopie renpon, the call of President Lin- coln for seventy-five thousand men to protect the capital, the initiative battles of the war and the action of the republicans upon the disasters to the Union arms that attended the early engagements, Senator Wilson proceeded:— The republican administration had not only to create aruries and navies but w perform the far more @ificult task of providing the vast resources to Bus- tain aconiict so gigantic, It established mternal revenue systems, revised the revenue laws, and established a national banking system, The repub- licans may have committed some mistakes in the details of thetr financial poties, but the suecess of that policy is the marvel of men the world over, Ita yonderful success fulsifed the predictions (of nancial men in the Old World and in the Now. De- mocrats have carped at it, criticised it, misappre- hended |i and misrepresented it. Many of them pre- dicted that the bonds of the government would never be redeemed, refused to purchase them them- selves or advise thelr friends to do 60, and are pre- senting now @ fitting sequel to their early and persistent opposition by their seemin; anxiety and their fil-omenec Horatio Seymour has it ed that he does not own and sof the bonds of the govern- io bea man of large weaith, to have inherited a fortune, During years of arthe country owed hundreds of millions to the army it couid not pay.

The “Knights of the Golden Circle, 2 of Liberty,” the holders of the bonds of the Coulederate government, the men, North and south, who, in the language of a son of ‘ “vould not Pay the bondholders beciase the Money was loaned for the wicked purpose of fight- a Gur Southern brethren,” may applaud this austiti announcement; but the “patriotic men, and the men whose wives and children were the Victims of lis wupatriotic action will applaud hin never. When the Legal Tender act was pending in the House of Representatives Pendleton, now nick- Bamed “Young Green’ 8,’ declared that these Regai tender notes would go cut to the country “with Sie mark Of Cain upon them,” that they would be “wanderers and vagabouds in the Jand,” and bt lend by f its extreme r ‘owal, Which sh¢ and honors of the bile, the life of the nation, the harmonious development ‘of free institutions, the repose, culture and renown of the paople, the democratic party mourned, and would not be comforted, over every blow struck at the retreating flend, As during the seven yeara from 1854 to 1361, when in Ptemge of power, so during the saveu years from 1601 to 186 when out ef power, Wie donlOseaRO Bare has been th: deadliest foe of the African race gnd of its friends, It has seuifed at aud jeered at every generous, humane and enuobilng idea, and steadfastly striven to defeat every measure to make it free, recognize iis rights or elevate its coddition, It resisted making free slaves used by rebels for military purposes at the opening of the War, and the act forbidding oMcers of the army to return fugitives seeking the protection of the national flag; the abolition of slavery in the nation’s capital and the prohibition of slavery in the national Terriories; the repeal of the Fugitive Slave act and the freedom of slaves captured or coming within the lines of our armies; the recognition of the nationality of Heyti and Liberia, and Mr, Lincoin’s prociamatian, of eenanaipasiony the enrolment of lack soldiers to fight the batties of the country, and the freedom of Diack soldiers, their wives and their ebildren; the admission of the colored people of the District of Columbia to the right to tesiify im the courts and to the right to ride in the public convey- ances; the constitutional amendment forever abol- ishing slavery in the United States, and the Free men’s Bureau for the aid, protection and education of emancipated bondsmes; sufrage to colored men in the District of Columbia and in the Territories of Manitod States; the Civil Rights measure, securing men the full and equal beaeft of all laws for arity of person and property, and the amend- ment to the constitution providiag that no person shall be denied equal protection of the laws equalizing representation, so that three of Wade Hampton’s troopers shall no longer conut the swine as seven of the loyal soldiers of the North, and forbidding the payment of the rebel debt or payment for slaves emanel- pated; the oustraction measure, giving to colored wen in rebel States the right to vote, and the acts for restoring tie seven reconstructed States to thelr practical rclations to the government, Daring ail he struggles for these and kindred measures, by wiich slavery has been abolished and the freedmen od to the full right and privileges of American p im the States lately in rebellion, the atic party has appealed and now appeais to the busext: passions and prejudices still tu oppress this people and hinder the realization of thelr new- born hopes inspired by emancipation.

Wanybody should talk of repudiation it should be the republican party, who no instrumentality in creating It, But did you ever hear a republican talk of repudiating it? It is a large debt—$2,500,000,000— but there is another question to asked. Is the government worth what it cost? HM it 1s, then the debt is not only an honest debt, but it has been worthily contracted. If the government is not worth what it cost, then you and I have been cheated. But, fellow citizens, is inere @ man or woman within the sound of my voice Wito will say that this government is not worth what itcoat?

Now, fellow citizens, this debt being admitted as & Pignieons debt, and it being admitted that it was worthily con- tracted in putting down the rebellion, it 18 now, as I said before, a sacred obligation to the nation, The democrats propose to pay this debt in greenbacks, How do they propose to pay the greenbacks? issuing more gre*nbac! But what are we to gain by paying it in greenbacks ? Issue $2,600,000,000 inore greenbhcks aad these grecubacks would not be worth the paper on which they are printed, because the supply would flood the country and be greater than the demand. What would the greenbacks then be worth? Fellow cittvens, these men do not mean to redeem the greenbacks, ‘They mean repudiation, and It is the meanest kind of repudiation ever posed to any people, the sitaple repudiation of $2,500,, 000,000—a Square, open, fraudulent repudiation, In froin five to ten years this couairy would recover- financially, but we could never wipe ont the national disgrace that would follow that repudiation.

These extra Issues would be utterly wortuiess, Adopt this plan, then, and all values would be annihilated, This debt 1g extended for a number of years. The ten- forties are payable from ten to forty years and the five-twenties from ten to fifteen yeara, Everybody is now satisfied, and why disturb this satisfaction. But tc was a sop thrown out to the rebels. You can’t find a rebet who will not tell you that he will never pay one dollar to put down the rebellion, They mean repudiation, and they accept this democratic plat- form because It means repudiation and for no other reason, Ido not believe that there isa man North or South, East or Weat who would vote for the dis- houoviug Of this government.

The bolder of the re leaders hardly disguise their purpose to seize the polls aud have only the white vote cast and counted. Wade Hampton called on his demo- craic associates in New York to “register an ath” that they would place Seymour and Blair in the White House if they received the majority of white votes “in spile of all the bayonets tat can be brought against them.” This rebel trooper and democratic leader tells the people of the South “not to employ any one, white or butck, who gives his aid to the republ party.” And this NEW JERSEY POLITICS, Congressional Nominations, Eee is generally Approved aud applauded by outhern politicians and presses, thoagh so cruel and oppressive to the poor laboring men, houseless and homeless, who will thus be compelled to exer- right of suffrage under duress, and with the constantly before them of being driven from their humble cabins and digposse’sed even of the fields they are cultivating on shares. T need dwell but brieAy on what the republican party proposes to do. Its history, its platform and iis candidates speak to the fall comprehension of the American people. To that hiatory, to that platform and to those candidates it points with confidence and pride. It appeals, as ever, to the higher and Aer sentiments and impulses of the’ nation It appeals to (hat comprehensive patriotism which embraces the whole country and the peapie of the whole cotntry, to that iove of ilberty which accords equal rights fo all men, to that sense of justice that e3 equal protection to the poor man’s cabin and the rich man’s mansion, ani to that humanity that lifts up the lowly and the weak.

SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS. The Broudway Theatre and “Foul Play’? Outrage. Before Judge Barnard. The People vs. James Moore, George Hickey, Den- nis Leary and Others.—This case came up before Judge Barnard yesterday, in chambers, on hearing of a writ of habeas corpus aud certiorari issued by his Honor yesterday, returnable at balf-past ten o’clock this morning. It was eleven o'clock before the prisoners appeared, in charge of the keeper of the prison, at which time the court room was crowded. Mr. Wiliam F. Howe, counsel for the prisoners, and Mr. G. W. Blunt, assistant District Attorney, on the part of the people, entered the court at the same time, Judge Barnard havipg inquired whether the parties in whose behalf the wrlt had been issued were pre- Lt, Mr. Blunt said—Your Honor, I have the return of me panes in this oase made by Justice Bhandley in obedience to the writ of certiorari directed to liim, and the prisoners are now present under the writ of habeas corpus issued in their behalf, 1 would like to have your Honor see those papers, Chatmberlain and Wilson, the parties wounded, are still so ili in hospital that they are unabie te make any affidavits in the matter, Under these cireumstances 1 would ask to have the matter remaiu over until a certiitcate on be procured to show that the parties are out of nger. Mr. Howe opposed the request to adjourn the ex- amination, This case did not present the ordinary features of cases where pickpockets or burglars askeil to be discharged from the consequences of an altray on the atrect, but it was a caso where officers of the Jaw, who were acting under and obeying a process of this court and seeXing to execute an order mado by his Honor, met with resistance and had guns and pistols pointed at them in the theatre. They were certainly entitled to use so much force as Was neces- sary for their own peepee: in enforcing @ man- date of the court. He had testimony to show that Wilson, the wounded man, was the aggressor in the affray. The boy who was slot was behind the sceues, and against him there could have been no anunus on the Fad of the deputy sheriits, and the Leda in thaf case was cuilrely accidental, He reierred to the case of the comedian Kelly—tue Kelly and Sharpley case—in which a man was killed, and aithough there was a honucide proved the accused was admitted to to stand his trial. im this case counsel contended tlicre was no proba- bility of death, On behalfof Hickey, the principal, he asked that he be admitted to bail, and that Leary aud Moore be discharged, as there wea nothing in the amidavits against thein except thet their naines were endorsed as defendants on tue outside of the ing, as he C, and for his appearance be (Mr. Howe) was prepared to offer any amount of security, Judge Barnard said that while an examination was pending before a magistrate, and until it was disposed of, a judge had uo right to interfere. He could not interfere with the Ordinary course of a police magistrate uatil he refused to pass on a mat- ter within a* reasonable time; he could in that case direct him to specify a time within which to make an examination. Mr. Howe contended that tf the wounded persons were in danger the Oorouer should wait on them in the hospital and take their testimony, and that the case could then goon. He thought there was a dis- position shown to keep tiiese men in jail because they were Sheriff's oficers, whereas they were ey citizens they would have been bailed fore, After some further discussion Judge Barnard said—Mr, Howe, you had better take an order dis- Tulssing this it, with liberty to move again at any time when you get a physician’s certificate that the parties are out of danger. Mr. Howe—If I procure a physician’s certificate to that effect to- can 1 at once renew ib? Judge Barnard—Certainiy. The prisonera were then removed in custody, fol- lowed by a crowd of friends, The Councilmanic Imbroglio. In consequence of the absence of Corporation Counsel ©’Gorman the hearfag tn the Counctimanic imbroglio case, already adjourned on two occasions this week; was again further adjourned yesterday tll eleven o’elock this morning.
