A people may be ruined by the blunders of: their aranta. as well as by their profligacy ; andtoW seenra publio prosperity,- vigilance is neooessary. It is plain that the interests of the great body of our fellow-citizen are the same, and it should be the 0'iject of political investigation to ascertain in what those interests consist. I believe in the integrity and patriot ism of the great body of the peoole. and did I not so believe, I would not be here' to-day. la a spirit of impartiality let us briefly consider tbe administration of the Federal Government since 186L If It has been constitutional, wise and honest, it is a good reason why those in power should reoeive the sanction of tbe people. If, on the other hand, it has been unwise, unconstitutional and cor rupt, all good citizens should unite in saying there should be a change. To be Justin dealing with the acts of public men, wnetner civilians or soldiers, is a patriotic aory, ior in - gooa part they make a country's history; but scrutiny into their conduct is a dotv not less sacred. THB FATAL MISTAKE. My friend, would the South kave in augurated secession and war, kad Southern statesmen been satisfied that they could not obtain the aid of the Southern officers, who were in the servios of tbe United States, to organize and command their armies ? It is not probable. Unhappily, no sooner did Mr. Lincoln become President, than civil war was regarded as inevitable, and Southern officers at once commenced to resign their commissions The inauguration of the new President took place on tbe 4th Maroh, and the resignation ' of Colonel Samuel Cooper, Adjutant General of the United States army, was accepted three days afterwards five weeks before Fort Sumpter was fired upon. The acceptance of these resignations as taken aa a notice that Southern officers could resign and go South whenever they desired to do so. This fact emboldened soon ot the Southern leaders as desired a conflict, and the destruction and surrender of Sumter via tha result. .What would yon have done, my Republican friends, if, after tbe surrender of Sum ter. Southern officers had tendered their resignations for the avowed purpose of taking up arms against tne united states! Would yon bave accepted theuit I think not. Would yon not have arrest ed and held them as prisoners of war T Had that course been pursued, Confed erate armies could not have been organ ized, and even had they been, without g. .tun flMnaaltaIl T I AAQ Sf t.ham (ha rmnfl litf. I wouiu nave ueeu aiiur. aim uooisive. xue opposite ooarse was taken. Bot ween the oapture of Sumter and the second of Jane following, the resignations of more than one hundred and eiguty omcers naa been accepted, ana the Kepaoucan Administration famished Jefferson Davis with great captaina like Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston, J. . Johnston, J. M Longatreet, and scores of others of scarce less skill and distinction. Prior to leaving our service, they held the high est rank in our army, and each ot these chiefs was experienced ia war. This fatal blander cost half a million lives, and .i i . r : 1 1 : r i j .. n v. my countrymen, will be the judgment oil history. Uncontradicted 1 nave twice charged this fact on the floor of the House, ana as x neia in my nana tnere, so do I hold In my hand now, the offloial evidence of what I charge the Register of the Army of the United States for 1861. And once for all I desire to say that I will ia a spirit of kindness answer all questions whion may be acted me concerning the subjects I discuss. I do not charge the Administration with treachery in accepting those resignations, but I do say, that, at trie least, it was not only unwise to do so, but a stupen dous blander. WORSE THAN A BLUNDER WHY THB FEDERAL DEBT WAS MADE. Toa may at first feel surprised, fellow- citizens, when yoa hear me say that the creation of the mammoth federal debt which is consuming our country, was not a matter of necessity but of art. And I will deserve your oensure, waicn I would greatly regret, unless I give yon good reasons lor tne opinion l nave ex- nresseo. Uoon no subject have men more dif fered than upon that of government. Despotisms are based upon tbe idea tnat men must be governed by fear, inspired by force, as in uussia, i uraey ana iaiu. Tn other countries, the idea exists that moneyed oligarohy makes tke best gov ernment ; tnat "government snouiu taae care of the rich, ana toe rica tags care of the poor " This is the kind of gov ernment wkiek exists ia England, where one person out ot every eignt is nanner. and where all tbe lands are owned by fewer persons than live ia the county of Belmont. The third form of eovernment is oasea on h. idea that God intended that men should eovern themselves, and not be coverned like brutes; and the vital prin- oinles of such a government are reason and public virtue. Ane VODstiiuuuu ui . ... m I a: a? the United States was iramea upon tuese I HAAS, mlthoueh there were in the Conven- lon tbose wbo oeiieved in tne wisaom oi the English system, .fever since isti, there has been a studied purpose on the part of certain politicians to combine tne Rn- n giisu systems ot govern ment in tkeUa ted Scates. That is, to tf ..Aarchy ot wealtn to oe bus r.inad hv t.,rfm. Fear, force and concen trated wealth, to be the three planks of the new system. It was to tni euu tu the federal debt was created. It was for this purpose that the rreeiaent was authorized to interfere in elections with the army and navy. It was for this, th.t authority has been given President Grant to proclaim martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus in time of peace, in every State of the Uuion. Do not mis understand me, uj hmu u make thia charge against tbe majority of Republicans. They are as macn attacnea to free government as we are, and if onoe ..ti.nxrf it ia in peril, tbey woald as readily come to its defense asourSMVer. The men of whom I speak are tbe be trayere of the Republican party, as of tbr wool people ; ana it is wiiu sorrow me' I admit that three of them Butler, Mor ton and Grant were formerly Democrat.. But to the proof. In Europe, as ia tbe United States, a oertaiu elaaa ot mm nave long professed to believe that a national debt is a publio blessing; that deb and capital re the same.

' Sash was the doctrine avowed in the notorious pamphlet issued by Jay Cooke, wken artiog as agent of the Federal Sov mmeot for tke sale of its bonds, f'ure are but two methods by which sKpendtarea of a government ran be m t-Btained. Taxation, without debt; torroving first, with bevy debt and C'pressiv taxation afterwards. The latter plan waa adopted I Was it neces-sar;f After bearing the fact, yon shall answer for yourselves. I hold in my hand the last report , of the Register of the United States Treasury. Oa page 276 it appears that on July 1st, 1861, four months after Mr. Lincoln beoame President, tbe, entire outstanding Debt of tbe United 8 totes wss tM.8S7.B38 With a balaaee ia the Treasury ef . (P 275) S0,9rsJ87r leaving tha actual debt s0S.971 This debt could have been paid during any fiscal' year without being felt. Tbe question was, how should revenue be raised to carry on the wart By taxation daring the war, and low taxes and no debt after the wr was overt Or by borrowing, and low taxes during'the first years of tbe war; and heavy txes, to be made perptfaal, ai.d a 'earfc 1 deb', al o intended to be per tol, after peace was restored? The latter plan was adopted..' Was it necessary t It was not only nnnectesary. bnt the debt waa intention. ally created for tke express purpose of building up a moneyed oligarchy, and it has been done. - THB proof. ' Had taxation been equal to the expenditures of the Government daring the war, at its close there would have beea no debt, and to-day federal taxation would be less than seventy instead of more than four hundred millions. This policy would have prevented an inflation of prices and reduced One half the cost of the war. When greenbacks fell to be only worth fifty cents on the dollar, it required two dollars in greenbacks to buy one dollars' worth of supplies, and thus the cost of the war was doubled. The expenditures of the first year of tbe war were less than four hundred and fifty-seven million dollars. . Had five hundred million dollars of greenbacks been issued as became necessary, to make purchases, and made receivable for custom dues as well a for ths payment of other taxes, they would have maintained the par value of gold, and been paid into the treasury for taxes during the next year. Bat could five hundred millions of taxes have been collected ia a year f ; The answer is easy. More than six hundred and nineteen millions of taxes were collected daring the first year of peace, notwithstanding tbe exhaustion of four years of war ; and the voluntary contributions of the people during the war, nearly equaled the amount paid in taxes. Hence it is clear that tbe expenditures of the war could have been paid while the war continued, and at Its close we would have returned to low taxes, and been free of debt. .But, my. kind friends tkat is exactly wkat tke oligarchs did not want A great debt was tkeir especial object, and that could only be attained by low taxes during the war, and high taxes forever-afterwards. ' Let me invite yonr careful attention to the following official figures, which I read from the last report of the Register of the Treasury, Daring the first year of the war, Federal tsxes only amounted to f 51.9 7.944 Tbs aemmd y ar. 74 448,157 Tbe tbiM year . 9 ,744 SM The lul year of the war.............. 33 12,?6 The lint year of peace 819 046,649 Borrowing and inflation were baud ia hand daring the war, and at ita dose we bad a liquidated debt of more than twen ty six hundred millions, and more than six hundred millions of federal taxation. It ia true, that owioir to the ftleeoletM tl.iht m .ra lavtiaa I sikmntMra in f ' btne Qeot nas Deen reduced to a little over . . . . . ..O fwenty-three hundred millions, and the Federal taxes to a little over four hundred and eleven millions. Bat had tbe Government been wisely and honestly administered, the debt woald have been reduced three hundred mil lions more, and the people have beea relieved of a corresponding amount of tax ation. This is a dry subject, but to yoa it is one of life and death. Oar system of government makes your legislators, and as legislators I address you. When yon vote yoa vote to make or repeal laws ; to do so intelligently you must investigate thiak earnestly and honestly; for it is only by so doing that yoa can proteot yonr rights and liberties. " LET POSTERITY PAT THK DEBT ! " After having wickedly created tke debt the oligarchs now cry, "Let po sterity pay the debt we have paid enough already." When the fact is, they receive all and Eay nothing. They are exempt from tate taxes, and by the late funding bill are made exempt from all taxes on bonds issued under it. They want posterity to pay the debt, because they receive what is equal to 7 per cent, compound interest, and at that rate, the interest paid in tea jeors is equal to the principal of the debt. These generous gentlemen would like to be paid in full three times by this generation, and as often by every succeeding one. They do not pay one cent on the principal or interest oi tne dent they receive all and pay nothing. It is not diffiout, then, to see why they built np the debt, it was a tat investment in the sweat of the people. Do you doabt the correctness of what I say T Think a moment. Why does the law give the bondholder compound interest in gold, while you are made to re ceive paper? Why are yoa required to pay tne nonanoiaer s taxes, ana yonr own into the bargain! Wby does the law require that three hundred millions of taxes should be paid in gold for the ben efit of the bondholder one hundred and eighty millions of tariff tax, and one hun dred and twenty millions oi interest tax on the bonds T WHAT WE PROPOSE. Ws say, let us do justice to the bend holder, bnt also justice to tke people. We are in favor of making custom does payable in greenbacks or gold at tke option of the person making the payment. This would at once bring greenbacks np t the par value of gold, they would perform all the duties of money. Gambling in gold would stop, and the sudden fluctuations in prices cease. We are in favor of paying the bondholder according to tbe contract, not less, and no more. Greenbacks where greenbacks were intended, and gold where gold was stipulated. At present the amount of currency in the country is not equal so th amount of taxes, and were all the taxes to be col lected on the same day, there is not mooey enough in the country to pay tbem Is It not absara tnen to talk el there being too moon currency f The currency we nave is diverted from trade and invested in stoca and gold speculations, which is ruinous to the interest of business. Allow greenbacks a fair chance tbey are now depreciated in value by act oi congress let tnem be received ta payment of custom does like gold, and the continual see taw in prices will cease. EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL BURDENS. The fundamental idea of oar Govern-met t Is equality of rights with equality of burdens. Bat the oligarchs have so controlled the legislation of Congress, that tbey bave secured all th light and orivileges for themselves, and thLOwn all the burdens of government on the shoul- ers of the people.

J 7 :,' V -. . . i ' ii V - 11' Fetx-Ctitzeks' ; ; A deep conviction exists among the people that tbe Federal Government is edtniiristesed in the interest of a few lndifldaals like a privatje oorporaticrDj that extravagance and cor ruption pervade every department of the Government, and tkat many of those In power nse their positions to amass private fortunes, rather 'than to secure the publio good. , Jo a Bepuklio those in authority are the mere agents of the people, and their conduct shou'd undergo candid but criti cal examination, not only as to matters of nonesty aua economy, bnt as to the wisdom of their acts. A people may be ruined by the blunders of: their aranta. as well as by their profligacy ; andtoW seenra publio prosperity,- vigilance is neooessary. It is plain that the interests of the great body of our fellow-citizen are the same, and it should be the 0'iject of political investigation to ascertain in what those interests consist. I believe in the integrity and patriot ism of the great body of the peoole. and did I not so believe, I would not be here' to-day. la a spirit of impartiality let us briefly consider tbe administration of the Federal Government since 186L If It has been constitutional, wise and honest, it is a good reason why those in power should reoeive the sanction of tbe people. If, on the other hand, it has been unwise, unconstitutional and cor rupt, all good citizens should unite in saying there should be a change. To be Justin dealing with the acts of public men, wnetner civilians or soldiers, is a patriotic aory, ior in - gooa part they make a country's history; but scrutiny into their conduct is a dotv not less sacred. THB FATAL MISTAKE. My friend, would the South kave in augurated secession and war, kad Southern statesmen been satisfied that they could not obtain the aid of the Southern officers, who were in the servios of tbe United States, to organize and command their armies ? It is not probable. Unhappily, no sooner did Mr. Lincoln become President, than civil war was regarded as inevitable, and Southern officers at once commenced to resign their commissions The inauguration of the new President took place on tbe 4th Maroh, and the resignation ' of Colonel Samuel Cooper, Adjutant General of the United States army, was accepted three days afterwards five weeks before Fort Sumpter was fired upon. The acceptance of these resignations as taken aa a notice that Southern officers could resign and go South whenever they desired to do so. This fact emboldened soon ot the Southern leaders as desired a conflict, and the destruction and surrender of Sumter via tha result. .What would yon have done, my Republican friends, if, after tbe surrender of Sum ter. Southern officers had tendered their resignations for the avowed purpose of taking up arms against tne united states! Would yon bave accepted theuit I think not. Would yon not have arrest ed and held them as prisoners of war T Had that course been pursued, Confed erate armies could not have been organ ized, and even had they been, without g. .tun flMnaaltaIl T I AAQ Sf t.ham (ha rmnfl litf. I wouiu nave ueeu aiiur. aim uooisive. xue opposite ooarse was taken. Bot ween the oapture of Sumter and the second of Jane following, the resignations of more than one hundred and eiguty omcers naa been accepted, ana the Kepaoucan Administration famished Jefferson Davis with great captaina like Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston, J. . Johnston, J. M Longatreet, and scores of others of scarce less skill and distinction. Prior to leaving our service, they held the high est rank in our army, and each ot these chiefs was experienced ia war. This fatal blander cost half a million lives, and .i i . r : 1 1 : r i j .. n v. my countrymen, will be the judgment oil history. Uncontradicted 1 nave twice charged this fact on the floor of the House, ana as x neia in my nana tnere, so do I hold In my hand now, the offloial evidence of what I charge the Register of the Army of the United States for 1861. And once for all I desire to say that I will ia a spirit of kindness answer all questions whion may be acted me concerning the subjects I discuss. I do not charge the Administration with treachery in accepting those resignations, but I do say, that, at trie least, it was not only unwise to do so, but a stupen dous blander. WORSE THAN A BLUNDER WHY THB FEDERAL DEBT WAS MADE. Toa may at first feel surprised, fellow- citizens, when yoa hear me say that the creation of the mammoth federal debt which is consuming our country, was not a matter of necessity but of art. And I will deserve your oensure, waicn I would greatly regret, unless I give yon good reasons lor tne opinion l nave ex- nresseo. Uoon no subject have men more dif fered than upon that of government. Despotisms are based upon tbe idea tnat men must be governed by fear, inspired by force, as in uussia, i uraey ana iaiu. Tn other countries, the idea exists that moneyed oligarohy makes tke best gov ernment ; tnat "government snouiu taae care of the rich, ana toe rica tags care of the poor " This is the kind of gov ernment wkiek exists ia England, where one person out ot every eignt is nanner. and where all tbe lands are owned by fewer persons than live ia the county of Belmont. The third form of eovernment is oasea on h. idea that God intended that men should eovern themselves, and not be coverned like brutes; and the vital prin- oinles of such a government are reason and public virtue. Ane VODstiiuuuu ui . ... m I a: a? the United States was iramea upon tuese I HAAS, mlthoueh there were in the Conven- lon tbose wbo oeiieved in tne wisaom oi the English system, .fever since isti, there has been a studied purpose on the part of certain politicians to combine tne Rn- n giisu systems ot govern ment in tkeUa ted Scates. That is, to tf ..Aarchy ot wealtn to oe bus r.inad hv t.,rfm. Fear, force and concen trated wealth, to be the three planks of the new system. It was to tni euu tu the federal debt was created. It was for this purpose that the rreeiaent was authorized to interfere in elections with the army and navy. It was for this, th.t authority has been given President Grant to proclaim martial law and suspend the writ of habeas corpus in time of peace, in every State of the Uuion. Do not mis understand me, uj hmu u make thia charge against tbe majority of Republicans. They are as macn attacnea to free government as we are, and if onoe ..ti.nxrf it ia in peril, tbey woald as readily come to its defense asourSMVer. The men of whom I speak are tbe be trayere of the Republican party, as of tbr wool people ; ana it is wiiu sorrow me' I admit that three of them Butler, Mor ton and Grant were formerly Democrat.. But to the proof. In Europe, as ia tbe United States, a oertaiu elaaa ot mm nave long professed to believe that a national debt is a publio blessing; that deb and capital re the same.

' Sash was the doctrine avowed in the notorious pamphlet issued by Jay Cooke, wken artiog as agent of the Federal Sov mmeot for tke sale of its bonds, f'ure are but two methods by which sKpendtarea of a government ran be m t-Btained. Taxation, without debt; torroving first, with bevy debt and C'pressiv taxation afterwards. The latter plan waa adopted I Was it neces-sar;f After bearing the fact, yon shall answer for yourselves. I hold in my hand the last report , of the Register of the United States Treasury. Oa page 276 it appears that on July 1st, 1861, four months after Mr. Lincoln beoame President, tbe, entire outstanding Debt of tbe United 8 totes wss tM.8S7.B38 With a balaaee ia the Treasury ef . (P 275) S0,9rsJ87r leaving tha actual debt s0S.971 This debt could have been paid during any fiscal' year without being felt. Tbe question was, how should revenue be raised to carry on the wart By taxation daring the war, and low taxes and no debt after the wr was overt Or by borrowing, and low taxes during'the first years of tbe war; and heavy txes, to be made perptfaal, ai.d a 'earfc 1 deb', al o intended to be per tol, after peace was restored? The latter plan was adopted..' Was it necessary t It was not only nnnectesary. bnt the debt waa intention. ally created for tke express purpose of building up a moneyed oligarchy, and it has been done. - THB proof. ' Had taxation been equal to the expenditures of the Government daring the war, at its close there would have beea no debt, and to-day federal taxation would be less than seventy instead of more than four hundred millions. This policy would have prevented an inflation of prices and reduced One half the cost of the war. When greenbacks fell to be only worth fifty cents on the dollar, it required two dollars in greenbacks to buy one dollars' worth of supplies, and thus the cost of the war was doubled. The expenditures of the first year of tbe war were less than four hundred and fifty-seven million dollars. . Had five hundred million dollars of greenbacks been issued as became necessary, to make purchases, and made receivable for custom dues as well a for ths payment of other taxes, they would have maintained the par value of gold, and been paid into the treasury for taxes during the next year. Bat could five hundred millions of taxes have been collected ia a year f ; The answer is easy. More than six hundred and nineteen millions of taxes were collected daring the first year of peace, notwithstanding tbe exhaustion of four years of war ; and the voluntary contributions of the people during the war, nearly equaled the amount paid in taxes. Hence it is clear that tbe expenditures of the war could have been paid while the war continued, and at Its close we would have returned to low taxes, and been free of debt. .But, my. kind friends tkat is exactly wkat tke oligarchs did not want A great debt was tkeir especial object, and that could only be attained by low taxes during the war, and high taxes forever-afterwards. ' Let me invite yonr careful attention to the following official figures, which I read from the last report of the Register of the Treasury, Daring the first year of the war, Federal tsxes only amounted to f 51.9 7.944 Tbs aemmd y ar. 74 448,157 Tbe tbiM year . 9 ,744 SM The lul year of the war.............. 33 12,?6 The lint year of peace 819 046,649 Borrowing and inflation were baud ia hand daring the war, and at ita dose we bad a liquidated debt of more than twen ty six hundred millions, and more than six hundred millions of federal taxation. It ia true, that owioir to the ftleeoletM tl.iht m .ra lavtiaa I sikmntMra in f ' btne Qeot nas Deen reduced to a little over . . . . . ..O fwenty-three hundred millions, and the Federal taxes to a little over four hundred and eleven millions. Bat had tbe Government been wisely and honestly administered, the debt woald have been reduced three hundred mil lions more, and the people have beea relieved of a corresponding amount of tax ation. This is a dry subject, but to yoa it is one of life and death. Oar system of government makes your legislators, and as legislators I address you. When yon vote yoa vote to make or repeal laws ; to do so intelligently you must investigate thiak earnestly and honestly; for it is only by so doing that yoa can proteot yonr rights and liberties. " LET POSTERITY PAT THK DEBT ! " After having wickedly created tke debt the oligarchs now cry, "Let po sterity pay the debt we have paid enough already." When the fact is, they receive all and Eay nothing. They are exempt from tate taxes, and by the late funding bill are made exempt from all taxes on bonds issued under it. They want posterity to pay the debt, because they receive what is equal to 7 per cent, compound interest, and at that rate, the interest paid in tea jeors is equal to the principal of the debt. These generous gentlemen would like to be paid in full three times by this generation, and as often by every succeeding one. They do not pay one cent on the principal or interest oi tne dent they receive all and pay nothing. It is not diffiout, then, to see why they built np the debt, it was a tat investment in the sweat of the people. Do you doabt the correctness of what I say T Think a moment. Why does the law give the bondholder compound interest in gold, while you are made to re ceive paper? Why are yoa required to pay tne nonanoiaer s taxes, ana yonr own into the bargain! Wby does the law require that three hundred millions of taxes should be paid in gold for the ben efit of the bondholder one hundred and eighty millions of tariff tax, and one hun dred and twenty millions oi interest tax on the bonds T WHAT WE PROPOSE. Ws say, let us do justice to the bend holder, bnt also justice to tke people. We are in favor of making custom does payable in greenbacks or gold at tke option of the person making the payment. This would at once bring greenbacks np t the par value of gold, they would perform all the duties of money. Gambling in gold would stop, and the sudden fluctuations in prices cease. We are in favor of paying the bondholder according to tbe contract, not less, and no more. Greenbacks where greenbacks were intended, and gold where gold was stipulated. At present the amount of currency in the country is not equal so th amount of taxes, and were all the taxes to be col lected on the same day, there is not mooey enough in the country to pay tbem Is It not absara tnen to talk el there being too moon currency f The currency we nave is diverted from trade and invested in stoca and gold speculations, which is ruinous to the interest of business. Allow greenbacks a fair chance tbey are now depreciated in value by act oi congress let tnem be received ta payment of custom does like gold, and the continual see taw in prices will cease. EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL BURDENS. The fundamental idea of oar Govern-met t Is equality of rights with equality of burdens. Bat the oligarchs have so controlled the legislation of Congress, that tbey bave secured all th light and orivileges for themselves, and thLOwn all the burdens of government on the shoul- ers of the people.
