They have infected the governments of our Northern States and Northern cities with the same disease of extravagance and fraud, They have debauched the federal government itseit and made the vames of scores of its high officers aud public men our public scandal, our open shame, 4 record of horrible incapacity, venality, waste, fraud. Aud the porty which has been powerless to tread di wn and trample under foot its corruptionists with stupendous effroutery pledges itself to a reform ot which it has become incapable, So that party pledget itsell to restore epecie payments, every year taking us further from specie payments, 80 it pledged itself to civil service reform aud then dropped and mocked its reformers, so it pledged itself to protect Americun labor, and’ with its monstrous Custom House taxation, on over 3,000 articles, tt has impoverished American labor, A few score monopolists, & few thousand cor- ruptionists, buve been enriched, but capital in the bands of those that carned it by industry and saved it by frugality is everywhere distrustful, and rusts unused, while honest labor goes ubout’ the streets besging bread. 18 this then the final outcome of acentury of republican sell-government? Goa tor- bid it, gracious God, But _we have wandered far (rom the right puths;,we must return to principles, the irugal expenditures and the admi trative purity of the founders of the Ropubiic. This is the first, the most impertuns necessity of our day and nation; ‘this is the appeal we have to make to our fel- low-citizens of every former political affiliation; this is the one supreme, commanding issuc to which all others are inferior, all others trivial Reform! Reform! Reform! If you shall recognize this imperious neces- sity; if you skall guarantee im your plattorm the suc- cessiul achievement of this arduous work of nati royeneration; if you shall select standard bearers true to your own’ high purpose and faithful to your pledge, victory in the November, victory in the October contests are already yours.” Incarnate the vital jgsue of reform in ‘candidate and platform, aud the States that have honored Douglas and Lincoln— | the States that to-day honor Hendricks and Tharman, | Hancock and Parker, Bayard and T:lden—these States, with all theit vast population, will rise ike the woods and the winds that tollowed the fleeting Orpheus, and Jollow you to victory, THE COMMITTER ON RESOLUTIONS, Mr. WituiaMs, of Indiana—I understand that the Committee on Resolutions are not ready to report; that they have only informally organized and bave not taken any action.

BRLMONT SUBMITS A RESOLUTION, Mr. Avovst Betuoyt, of New York—Mr. Chair. man, I hold in my hands a resolution, for which 1 claim the consideratio of the Convention, The cam- paigh upon which we are about to enter Is of such vital importance to the destinies of the Americab people— more Vital than any Presidential election which bas been heid heretofore. The great question before us is, whetuer we will set aside the corrupt admin- istration which is leading the country..on to ruin—every section of it—and give to our country an industry and prosperity beyond what the country Bas ever seen beiore. (Applause.) The question is, whether the iron bec! of maladministravion shall be pus tipon this country, or whether the democratic party may once more bold the reins of spent gk ‘hd restore the country to union and prosperity Applause.) The an leade scheming, uns@rupuious and oppressive as ever, have, by their speeches in Congress and the teachings ofa partisan press, finally by their platiorms in their State aud national —_ conventions, tried to divide and divert the attention of the American people from their misdeeds, and they appeal to the Worst passions of the people and endeavor to sow the seeds of discord between the North and the South this centennial year of national rejoicing, when the allowed memories of the past admonish us to draw close together sm the strongest bonds of fraternity and union, We have seen the soldiers | South Carolina, arm im arm with the soldiers of wchuseuts, upon Bunker Hill. (Applause) We have seen the veterans of New England adorn with flowers the graves ot the Contederate soldiers—a tribute from the brave to the bray (Cheers.) The politicians of the administration party, beat only upon their own selfish ends, attempt to stir up the worst jons of human nature, and not satisiied with the miseries of the day are willing to leave our children an inheritance of suspicion, prejudice and hatred. They have played this same nefarious game before, and, en- couraged by the timorous policy of our leaders in former conventions, they hope to achieve another vic- tory through our ‘fears, which made us resort to expediencies and injndicious nominations outside of the democratic party. Experience has shown the fallacy of such a policy; for every republican vote whicu we gained or hoped to gain We lost the votes of thousands of our own people. But the lessons of past Serve a8 Warnings at this juncture, This is a representing union, progress and prosperity; aud the republicans, repre senting sectional strife, religious tntolerance, and & of continuation of financtal and industrial ‘prostra- tion, Im such @ contest victory must be ours, if We adopt a strong and — une- quivocal platform on all of the cardinal questions which agitate the people and piace upon it a national democrat whose private character and public record will infuse that enthusiasm and that confidence into our ranks which alone can insure success. The repub- licans have once more unfurled the bloody shirt, that prratical flag with which they h to” cap- ture the liberties of the peop Tet us march against them under the broad banner of the Union—that flag which has never known and will never know defeat either from domestic or foreign foes. Mr. Chairman, 1 offer the jollowing resolations, which, with the consent of this Convention, I move to be referred to the Committee on Resoiutions:— We appeal tot nor and manhood of thy Ameriean people to Vegin this second century yf American union and Independeuce by trampling wader foot, and extinguish forever, tho smouldering ushes of distrust, jranc: Animosity between the two great sections of our country.

THE STRUGGLE OVER THE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR—A PRELIMINARY . VICTORY FOR WARMOTH—POSITION OF THE CANDIDATES ON THE FIRST BALLOT. New Oxrzays, June 27, 1876, As foreshadowed in last night’s despatches, the anti- Warmoth forces in tue Convention all united this morning in the battle for the temporary chairmanship, The contest was desperately contested between Stamps ‘and Pinchback, snd rosulted in tho latter's triumph by only one majority. This is conceded a great Warmoth victory and will result in the admission of between twenty and twenty-five contesting Warmoth delogates, The other side 1s making desperate efforis to-night eflect a new combination with Pinchback, but the pact between Pinchback and Warmoth is apparently too strong to be easily ruptured. Warmoth informed your correspondent to-night that he considered his nomina- tion to-morrow already AN ASSURED FACT, and the Iurge gathering found at his headquarters of ——- heretofore strong friends of the Custom louse people, Would seem to give grounds for his con- fdevee. Fr iment politics opposed to him are Jond and denaneiatory in their views, and the proba- bilities are that after tne first ballot they will ail centre on Auderson as their candidate. From the best counts now made ip anticipation the first ballot will stand something as foliows:—Packard, 90; Warmoth, 80; Anderson, 40; Ludeling, 26, and about 12. scattering. leading candidates will, be effe The Republican State to-day at Mechanica’ Institute. back was elected rived 100 AS is Pinchback ta i ALABAMA REPUBLICANS.
