As usual on these occasions there was @ Jarge attendance of the fair sex, for whom seats were reserved. A magnificent basket of flowers Was placed on the platform. Among those present on the platform were Judge Mason, George Opdyke, Generals W, H.§Anthon and T. 8, Arthur, and ex- Judge Henry E. Daviea. Charles 8. Spencer presided and made a brief in- troductory address, after which he presented as the first speaker ex-Governor Morgan, of New York. SPRECH OF SENATOR MORGAN. Senator Morgan, on being introduced to the audi- ence, was received with enthusiasm, In commenc- ing his speech he said that at the North the demo- crats conducted their canvass with @ rancor before unknown to our politics, and at the South a reign of terror was inaugurated to control elections there. After vindicating the republican party against the charge that the Union could not be restored by it, he Said that the republican organization still maintained that from the day of the fring upon Sumter until treason is forever obliterated from the country there could be no compromise with rebels, nor terms of “peace except puch as are based upon un- conditional surrender of their hostility and return to their just allegiance to the constitution, THE FINANCE QUESTION, A few days ago his Honor the Mayor of our city, 4m a speech at Buffalo, took occasion to refor to my views on the question of the finances, He said that Theld with the Tribune and the Evening Post, that NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. cy he State deserved idence and support.

The sixth resolution of our platform aifords the answer. It says:— licy to diminish our burden of debt is to so im- bene cur crodiy that eapliailets will seek to 1oaa us money lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must con- finue to pay eo long as repudiation, OF total, open or overt, iu threatened or suspected. The democracy have threatened repudiation and ve created so much distrust that holders, rather an rest in uncertainty, would, in many cases, ex- Ihange for such as, bearing a lower rate of interest, inould have the word gold expressly named in the nd. But why all this clamor about bonds? They are ot due, Why force forward, with indecent haste, a uestion on which so much depends? And why Inould the Mayor and his political friends op; an iMicient and practicable plan for lowering the rate if interest on the public debt? Is it forthe advan- e of the tax payer of the country to do so? Is it ell to treat honorable effort with jeers, and, while roposing at themselves, to lend their whole hiiuence further to break down the public credit? he secret is, that theirs is an ignoble attempt by ctious agitation to get some yy advantage.

He and mén of his prociiv- ities were now acting in copjunction with the demo- cratic party and trying to undo the work of victory. They acted in rections sywpathy with treason, and if the fact was to be stated at all it should be stated im the light in which it must be regarded. The demo- cratic national platform he considered as having de- cided the fate of that party in the cn roan $ ‘con- test without reference to their candidates or even before the nominees were declared. It meant, prin- cipaily and unmistakably, if not a direct repidia- tiom of the public debt, at least to accomplish the same end by a circumlocutory method—viz., by an excessive {inflation or increase of the govern- ment “promises to pay” to an extent that would render them worthiess. And yet this same democratic party, whose extravagant and reckless licy had brought on the war, were the flercest tn Prete denunciation of the burdens it had entailed upon a people living under a reppbiican administra- tion, and continuaily deciaring against the expeadi- tures by the Union party necessary to restore the country to the condition it occupied before the war.

The conservative soldiers and sallors of Kings county had a very large ratification meeting at the Wigwam last night, and also a torchlight procession through the principal streets of the city, The Wig- wam was filled to its utmost capacity, and the masses who could not be accommodated within the building were addressed from three stands which had been erected outside for their accommodation, The torchlight procession, which was mainly com- posed of the White Boys in Blue, was a very fine de- monstration and extended over a mile. The meeting at the Wigwam was called to order by Captain Cotter, who nominated Major General Henry W. Slocum as the presiding oficer. General SLOCUM, On coming forward, was receivea with cheer after cheer. He thanked the audience for their Kind reception, and said that the zeal mant- fested by the soldiers of Kings county since the com- mencement of the campaign, and the number present whom he was addressing, showed that Kings county had sent more than its quota of soldiers to the war, although the delegation sent to Chicago appeared to represent @ very small constituency.

O. Davis was. then introduced and re- ceived with great applause on presenting himself. After tracing the course of the republican party he entered into a long and able review of the financtal uestion, He Claimed that the repubjicay aud not the democratic party was the party of repudiation, because their extravagance and corruption could have no other end than to force repudiation on the country, In regard to the payment of the national debt he was in favor of paying the bondholder in the same currency in which the soldier who perilled bis life in the field of battle was paid for his services, He hoped his fellow soldiers would be no parties to any act towards the down-trodden South which was not one of Christian charity and which was not such as to receive the sanction df Heavel, Letters of excuse were read from General George B, McClellan and other distinguished generals ex- pressing their regret at not being abie to be present.

From an early hour in the morning delegation after dele- gation of white and biack votera poured into the city, and at ten o'clock @ procession was formed, headed by thirty-six beautiful young ladies in cos- tume, each representing one of the States, and es corted by a8 many “knights,” all being on horse- back, thus forming a very handsome and imposing spectacle. The crowd was now gigantic, over 20,000 persons being present, of which at least 5,000 were negroes. On the stand were ex-Governors Win- aston, Moore and Watts, together with Generals Clan- ton, Pettus and a crowd of other distinguished Ala- bamians, After the meeting was called to order the proceedings of the day were announced and the first speaker Introduced, SPEECH OF GRNERAL JAMES H. CLANTON, The General, who served with distinction in the Confederate army as a cavalry commander, was Greeted with loud cheers as he came forward. He referred to the fact that the dream of Calhoun of a united South had at last been realized, This realiza- ton had been because of the manner in which the Southern people had been treated since the war closed. The radical party had made them forget Past issues and brought about a unanimity of senti- ment by the violation of those terms of surrender which had alone induced them to lay down their arms. When they yielded it was in good faith, and God knew how earnestly they had asked for and desired @ speedy restoration of the Union. Mr. Lincoln had repeatedly said that the moment the contest was abandoned the South could return to the Union and to representation therein with all of their rights un- impaired gave and except those relating to slavery and geccesion, aud he went to Fortress Monroe him- self for the purpose of making known this, But when the South had yielded they found that the doors of Congress were ciosed upon them unle: they themselves placed the brand of infamy uj on Robert E. Lee and the orher Southern le fen is he thanked God, they had indignantly Pelused to a6 vy rejecting the fourceenth constitutional amend- ment, Though fhey had guffered and were still suffering for Bo acting, he felt proud that, despit eu the pressure brought to bear upon her, Alabama er honor bright and ungullied, ergo chee! .) Military despot had en their lot, and it Nad only given way to a more odious form of government. “Uarpet-baggers and scalawi men With principles alien to those of an overwhelming majority of the people were now ruling them. And such arule ! General Clanton here spoke at iength on the subject of the present State govern- Ment, giving an account of how the constitution had been fairly defeated by the express terms of the Reconstruction luws, and how, in spite of this, Con- hg had forced it upon them. But, notwithstand- Ing the men in power do not represent a majority of the people, he counselled obedience to the laws, how- ever oppressive Ra infamous they may.be.

He knew how galling and hu- tillating it Was for his fellow citizens to submit to the domineering ingolence of strange aaventurers and native men of infamous characters. But he ad- vised them earnestly to let the carpet-baggers and scalawags alone. Phe end of their power was near at hand, and it would be brought about by the peace- nobly preserved Visits to the Republican and Democratic Headquartere—Activity of the Canvaes, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7, 1868, The centre of activity in the Pennsylvania canvass is In this city, for the reason that the Executive Com- mittees, representing both parties in the State, have their headquarters here, and both the committees and their agents are working like beavers, At the democratic focus, corner of Arch and Ninth streets, Wiillam A. Wallace, the chairman—one of the most active and admitted by friends and foes to be one of the most astute politicians in the State—is always present in his little back room, holding council with his scouts from all parts of the State, and speakers and public men from abroad, who carry the interests of the democracy of Pennsylvania heavily upon their shoulders and their con- sciences. In the public apartment of the building the secretaries—D. Caldwell, a specimen democrat, and John C. Barr, of Pittsburg, 9 sijent and assiduous worker—are up to their elbows in doc- uments being recejyed and being matied, while the Passages and stoop and reading room are crowded With anxious and hopeful democrats, for the de- mocracy vow that they are going to carry the city of Philadelphia on Tuesday next by a majority regu- lated according fo the enthusiasm of the individual. Some boast of 5,000 or 6,000 majority for Daniel N. Fox, the candidate for Mayor; the more placid ones are content with 3,000. The radicals, I need hardly say, do not admit that their gandidate, General Hec- tor Tyndale, will be beaten, but I believe it is tac- itly conceded that the democrats will carry the city by a small majority. As to the personne? of the candi- dates, Mr. Fox is @ conveyancer, a very estimable man and very popular with his party. On some previous occasions, however, he made himeclf inimi- cal to a portion of the German population by advo- call a strict Sunday law for the non-sale of liquor, and this may lose him some votes, General Tyndale stands op his war record and the radicals have adroitly nominated him for that reason. He was through the peninsula, and though = & lieutenant golonel, commanded a brigade at Antietam, where he was wounded. The Radical State Committee, of which Galusha A. Grow is chairman, are stowed away in the to of the Union Ciub, on Chestnut street, but though retired from the public thoroughfare they are none the less active in their operations. Since the organi- zation of the republican y, twelve years ago, the leaders here claim that there never was a canvass more refect or more reliable than this in Pennsylvania. They figure up their v ‘ya dot, and insist that uf they can only bring nev °o the polls they will roll up & majorit 00. Forney claims, with his accuston. —moresr,, vniy 17,000; but the democrats laugh even at this sinall victory, and prociaim the figures ail bosh, Take a county, for in- stance, the igen | district, where Forney counts 10,000 radical majority, Last year the vote for Mayor atood--republican, 15,765; democratic, 7,794; labor reform ticket, 4,036.
