throughout an insidious as ifjanlt upon the best character purpo i ses and hopes of the republican party | and under a pretence of vindicating and defending it put the argument in such a shape that the effect of it must be to repel every man of generous feelings and honest logic by whoin it is carefully read its only object was to revive and reinforce that narrow odious and malignant sectionalism against which all the belter members of the party have been struggling for the last ten years it says in so many words that the issue ofthe presented ni paign is sectional and only sectional and in order to prove that it frames what burke thought to be impossible the indictment of a whole people i in the lowest spirit ofthe carpet-bag | ger and the demagogue * * * j the entire animus of mr coukling's reasoning is that the president should be elected by the machine and when elected be controlled by the machine hi is not to address himself to an impartial administration ofthe duties of his office according tocc.-t:iin fixed i political principles but he is to be i come the instrument of predomina ting interests or of those parts ol the i nation where production consump i 1

iilei.e-s of detail the modes of our elections and when an election isl closed it regards the result as the ; act ofthe whole people in order to iret an expression of the manhood of the nation each vote counts as me and is as good as any other vote and as mr conkling himself says in the outset of his address the supreme the final and the only peaceful arbi ter is the ballot box hi that urn should be sacredly reconle 1 the con science the judgment the intelligence of all but no argues mr conk ling afterward it i.s not tho votes that ought tu be counted but the places where voles come from ifthey arc mt in by the south ivhich i un fortunately impoverished by a long civil war and many years of carpet bag extortion and riat they are bad and dangerous votes ; but if they are put iu by the north where com merce industry and manufactures thrive and large revenues are paid they are good and wholesome votes and entitled to the rule thi southern bugaboo ill order to justify his cold-blooded sectionalism and to carry the repub lican cause back to the state in which it was at the close of grant's admin istration ignoring the noble and etli cient services of mr hayes and his cabinet in healing old sores and bring ing about kind conciliatory feelings mr conkling gets up a tremendous bugaboo lt would bea frightful buga boo if it were not of the kind which bites off its own head his mode of censtrncting the scarecrow put in a logical shape would be this first tho democratic party if it succeeds would be controlled by the smith ; second but the south is only one seventh of the people of the union aud has but one-fourteenth of the producing commercial industrial tax paying and properly interests of the country and ergo third the whole vast business ofthe country will be at the disposal of a very inconsidera ble minority of those who are con cerned in it a formidable conclu sion indeed if it were valid ; but assumptions of fallacy lurk both in the premise and conclusion and no body needs to be frightened out of his senses the central states must decide the election the first assumption or implica tion is that the south can succeed by i'self which itoatinot even if we sup posed it solid and it is by no means certain that it will be so in novem ber it cannot succeed without the aid of two or three of the great mid dle states which are most important factors iu that sum of producing commercial industrial tax-paying and property interest which mr conk ling flourishes in its face it cannot succeed without securing a majority of votes in new jersey new york indiana and some state in new eng land or on the pacific slope now these determining states represent a very large part of those commercial industrial and property interests which are use to make the contrast between the north and south if our orator hud been an honest statesman as he is an ardent politician he would have instituted a comparison not between the north and south but between the republican and democratic states but then the entire basis ofhis super structure would have fallen away and he would have had no scarecrow at all the soutu would not alienate the north the second assumption is that the ' south which can only win by the assis tance of these great middle states would originate a policy if it had the power certain to alienate their sympa thies and support but what can be more preposterous than to suppose that it would run counter to the con victions and political prospects not on j ly of these great middle states but of that very large minority in the re publican states which constitutes an essential part of the democratic force — nearly half the people in fact how soon would it sink into utter im potence if it attempted to outrage the opinions or even prejudices of the north and west ? it could not live a year in the enjoyment pf its power and its allies at the north would be irreparably destroyed besides the largest states of the south and those which are likely to have the nu-t to say in its councils are mary ' land virginia kentucky tennessee missouri and arkansas which belong to the great middle group and whose i interests are nearly identical with j those of indiana ohio new york land pennsylvania under lhe opera tion of the living forces which bring localities together they would gravi tate more and more toward these and no political party call it by what name you will would dare to come in conflict with the tendencies of opinion in these mighty centres of civilization trade and activity these states though nominally belonging to the south because of their former toler ance of slavery are now under free influences rapidly amalgamating with the states near and around them they were never strongly southern and have become decidedly northern they would never cling for any length of time to a policy decisively southern , tlieir alliances are with the north and west and with them in the end they will be found * *
