TIE SUM OF MEMNESS. Jfrhtofe Means the Doctrine of State Sovereignty, as Advocated by the Deatocralf* -It Boftases a Kan Protection at Hii Own Vureside, and Tells Him to Go Away from' Home if Ha Wants to bt fiat* _ tactod. [Extract from Col Rotart O. IngersoH'a Kockford speech.] The great differenoe to-day between the , Democratic and Republican party is, that the 'Democratic party believes this is a simple con­ federation. The Democratic party believes in what we call State sovereignty, and the Repub­ lican party proclaims this country to be a na­ tion, one and indivisible. There is the differ­ ence. The South believes this is a mere con­ federacy, and they are honest; they are willing sto fight for it; they are willing to fight for it now; they are willing to commit frauds for it; they are willing to use the shot-gun to uphold it; they are willing to use tissue ballots to eub- . Htanti&te it, and they believe it. Now the ques­ tion with us is whether we will put a party in power knowing, as we do know, that the princi­ pal part of that party absolutely believe in the -doctrine of State sovereignty. They believe in the saeredness of a State line. In old times, in the year of grace 1860, if a man wished the army of the United States to pursue a fugitive slave, then the armv could cross a State line. When­ ever it has been necessary to deprive some hu­ man being of a r ght, then we had a right to •<srosn State hues, but whenever we wished to strike the shackles of slaverv from a human being we had no&right to cross"a State line. In other words, when you want to do a mean thing you can step over the line, but if your ob­ ject is a good one you shall not do It This doctrine of 8tate sovereignty is the meanest doctrine that ever was lodged in the American mind. It is political poison, and if this coun­ try is destroyed that doctrine will have done as much toward it as any other one thing. I be­ lieve the Union one", absolutely. The Demo­ crat tells me that when I am away from home the- Government will protect me. but when I am at home, when I am sitting around the family fireside of the nation, then the Govern­ ment cannot protect me ; that I must loave if I Want protection. Now I denounce that doc­ trine. For instance, we are at war with another country, and the American nation comes to me and says: '• We want you.1 I say, '• I won't go." They draft me, put some II&TIHV in a wheel, and* a man turns it, and another man pulls out, a paper, and my name is on it, and he savs : " Come." So I go, and I light for the flag. When the war is over I go back to mv State. Now let us admit that the war has been unpopular, and that when I got to the State the people of that State wished to trample upon my rights, and I cried out to my Government : " Come and de­ fend me ; you made me defend YOU." What ought the Government to do ? 1 only owe that Government my allegiance that owes mo its Eroteeti' n. Protection is the other side of the argnin ; that is what it must be. And. if a •Government ought to protect even the uuiu that it drafts, what ought it to do for the vol­ unteer--the man who holds his wife for a mo­ ment in a tremulous embrace, and kisses his children, wets their cheeks with his tears, shoulders his musket, goes to the held, and says: "Here I am to uphold uiv flag !" A nation that will not protect such a protector is a disgrace to mankind, and its flag a dirty rag that contaminates the air in which it waves. I believe in a Government with an arm Ion? enough to reach the collar of any rascal beneath its liag. I want it with an aim long enough and a sword sharp enough to strike down tvrannv wherever it may raise its snaky head. I want a nation that can hear the faintest cries of its humblest citizen. I want n nation that will pro­ tect a fruodmun, standing iu the sun by his little cabin, ju*t as quick as it would protect Vander- bilt in a palace of marble and gold. I believe ill a Government that can cross a State line on an errand of mercy. I believe in a Govern­ ment that can cross a State line when it wishes to do justice. I do not believe that the sword turns to air at a State line. I want a Govern­ ment that will protect me. I am here to-day- do I stand here because the flag of Illinois is above me? I want no flag of Illinois, and if I were to see it I should not know it--I am here to-day under the folds of the flag of my country, for which more blessed blood has U'en any other tlag tw w. tills Gloria. I have as much right to speak here as if I had been born here. That is the country in which 1 believe ; that is the nation which -commands my respect, that protects alL This doctrine of State sovereignty has to be done away with ; we have got to stamp it out. Let me tell you its history. The first time it ever appeared was when they wished to keep the •lave trade alive until 1808. The first resort to this doctrine was for the protection of piracy and murder, and the next time they appealed to it was to keep the inter-slave trade alive KO that A man in Virginia could sell the very woman that nursed him to the rioe fields of the South. It was done so they could raise mankind as a crop. It was a •crop they could thresh the year round. The next time they appealed to the doctrine was in favor of the Fugitive Slave law. so that every white man in the North was to become a hound to bay upon the track of the fugitive slave. Under tliut law the North agreed to catch women and give thein back to the bloodhounds of the Sonth. Under that infamy men and • women were held, and were kidnapped under the shadow of tiie dome of the national Cipitol. If the Democratic party had remained iu power it woukl be so now. The South said : '• He friends with us, all we want is to steal labor ; be friends with us, all we want of you is to have you catch Our slaves ; be friends "with us, all we want of you is to Is; in partnership in the business of slavery, and we are to take all the money and you are to have the disgrace and dishonor for your share." The dividend don't snit inc. The next time they appealed to the doctrine of State rights was that they might extend the area of human slavery ; it was that they might desecrate the fair fields of Kansas. The next time they appealed to this infamous doctrine was in accession nnd treason : so now, when I hear anv man advocate this doctrine, I know that he is not a friend of my country, he is not a friend of humanity, liberty, or of progress. r There Is another reason why I am opposed to the Democratic party. We have not only got parties to trnst- we have got sections of coun­ try to trust. They say : "Are we never to lie friends with the South?" Yes. when the South admits that they were wrong. When they get up to that point they will know that whoever is conquered by right is, after all, the victoi; they will know that every man that was whipped by freedom remains a conqncror upon the field ; every man trampled down by right rises like a god ; and when tliey get great enough to understand this philosophy they will be glad that they didn't succeed ; they well know that defeat was their only possible road to success. We, having saved them from the crime of slavery, have made it possible for them to go abreast with us with the great march of human progress, and the time will come when the South will rejoice that we succeeded because the right was victorious. Now we not only have to choose bet~ieu seo- tions and between parties, but also (xtween men. iiie Doiuoi-raur party nas nominated Gen. Hancock for President, and Mr. English for Vice President. For several years past the Democratic party has been doing all in its power, or pretending to do ali in its power, to -destroy the army and the national banks, and in order to show that it is sincere it nominates for President a Major General in that very army, and also nominates for the second place •on the ticket a I'resident of a national bank. Now you know they are honest. I have not one word* to say against Ge n. Hancock. No doubt he was a Rood, brave, splendid soldier, but if he was right at Gettysburg he is wrong now ; if he lx lieved in State rights then he had no right to trample tliat right between the hoofs of his horse. The South, when at Get­ tysburg, believed in State sovereignty. 1'jee i >elieved m it, Jackson lougiit for it, and Hampton swears that the "cause of the Democracy to-day is the same •cause tb«t Lee and Jackson fought for. Hamp­ ton, an honorable mau, told the truth. Who has changed since the battle of Gettysburg-- Hancock or*the South? The South remains where it was. firm as ever ; the men who shot at him then wish to vote for him now. They have not changed. Who has? Hancock is a soldier, I know, but a few of his ideas witb re- card to government--all 1 know--I get from "Order No. 40, his letter of acceptance, which is in general terms an approval of the constitu­ tion, and from two or three letters and tele­ grams that he has written and sent since his nomination. They say that by Order No. 40 Gen. Hancock showed that he was n favor of -exalting the civil power above the military. That order did no such thing ; that order tells the General that he must not interfere unless for the purpose of keeping order. Who, under that order, would decide whether there was order, the General or the civil power? Under that order the General was to decide whether there was order or disorder. From his /decision there was no appeal, and order No. 40 pats the civil power beneath the feet of the mil­ itary authorities, and everybody knows it that has sense to read. Gen. Hancock, too, tho other day, had the kindness to certify that, if his party did wrong, he would not He tells the ! Hancock ? 1872, in 1876? How would Jefferson Davis vota if he were in the North to-day ? How would the men that starved our prisoners at Ander- sonville and Tabby--and Andersonville and Libby are the mighty, mighty wings that will bear the memory of the Confederacy to eternal mfamy--how would the men who starved our brave boys there vote if they were in Illinois now? Every one of them would hurrah for American,people in substance: "Of course you cannot trust the Democracy, but you can relv on me. If my party passes a law to pay the Southern claims, I now give you mv honor that I will de­ feat the party that exalts me to power." In other words, he agrees to veto the biU in advance; he agrws. even lx»for,. he is elected President. He swears now he will use a certain discretionary i power vested in him by the constitution, and he cannot foresee what the circumstances will be: I yet in advance he solemulv swears what his bet- I ter judgment will be then. He knows exactly ! how discreet he will be. He certities to the j American people that he will veto anv law that I the party mav pass for the payment of South- | em claims. How did he ever come to Buspcct : that his party would ever pass such a law ? Gar- , field has written no letter "that he will Veto a law ! to pay Southern claims. Is it not a little strange j that the candidate has to certify to his party ? j As a rule, in this country, the party has alwavs ; certified to the candidate. If Gen. Gurtield I would certify that he would veto a certain law ] if it was passed by the Republican party, tho • whole party would feel insulted. We "would i sav to him: "We will take care of onr- i selves; when you become President exercise j your power as in your discretion you believe i you ought, but do not certify to the moral • character of the Republican party." Why did | Hancock think it necessary to certify to their ; character? Because he knew it is bad. He ! really thought the American people had more : confidence in him than in the Democratic party; j for that reason he steps to the front and savs I to the country : " I will not allow these raga- j muttius behind me ; I will not allow these reb- 1 els who placed me in power ; I will not allow I them to pass a law that I don't want." He ! says : "I admit they are bad : look at them. i I admit you cannot "trust them ; but between | this hungry horde and the American people I promise to throw the shield of my veto." He ! says : " Ladies and gentlemen, "I will protect j you from this party. All I want of these men is to make me President, and then I will protect you and let tlieni go to the devil. Gen. Hancock might dio; death might veto him. From the grave he could not carrv out hisDromise, and who comes in then? 51 r." En- §lisli. Death has never elected a good Prcsi-ent in the United States yet; death has always made a frightful mistake. Read the letter of acceptance made by Mr. English, and tell me whether you are willing to trust that man. Read his history--a man who has done nothing but loan money, take deeds of trust on the " life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" of ths people, and then forclose the deed, and Let us be honest. We are reaping the reward of all those great and glorious actions, and ev­ ery good man who has ever lived in the country, no matter whether he has l>een persecuted or not, has ma<1e the world better. The other night I happened to note a snnset. | The sun went down, and the west was full of j light and fire, and I said : " There, there is the • perfect death of a great man ; that sun, dying, leaves a legacy of glory to the very clouds "that ' obstruct its path. That sun, like "a great man, I dying, leaves a legacy of glory even to the ones j who persecuted him, and the world is glorious only because there have been men great enough and grand enough to die for the right." Will ! any man, can any man, afford to die for this j country ? Then can we afford to vote for it. It I a man can f fford to tight for it and die for it, 1 ; can afford to speak for it. And now I beg of yon, every man and woman, no matter in what country born--if you are an Irishman, recollect that this country has done more for your race than all other countries nn­ der heaven called at his hotel, instead of sending for him. I wanted to see him privately in his own room. I found him iu hla room, perhaps before he had his break­ fast. I said: " ' General, yon and I are soldier*-- army officers. We have life positions ; we serve under successive administra­ tions without regard to party. It is our duty to enforce the laws of Congress. We are not responsible for the wisdom of the laws; Congress bears that re- syonsibility. We simply enforce them.' "He said: •Well, I am opposed to nigger domination.' "I said' General, it is not a question of 44 nigger domination." Pour millions of ex-slaves, without education or prop­ erty, can hardly dominate 30,000,000 of whites with all the education and' prop­ erty. It is a question of doing our sworn duty.' "He said: 'Well, I'm opposed to nigger domination.* " I saw that mv only chance to influ­ ence lum was by the remnant of author­ ity left in my hands.

The man who nmUes np : his mind in a time of profound peace to make ! war the business of his life, the man who makes , war his profession, the man who is adopted by. ; the Government, in, in my judgment, no better 1 than the man who in time of pearc would ! rather follow the avocations of peace, and who, | when war comes, when the blast of conflict | blows in his ears, buckles on his sword and I tights for his native land, and, when the war is • over, goes back to the avocations of peace.

Some people say to me: ! "How can you vote for Garfield when he is a j Christian and was a preacher? " I tell them : ! '• 1 have two reasons : One is I am not a bigot, ! and the other is. Gen. Garfield is not a bigot. ! He does not agree with me : I do not agree with ! him on thousands of things ; but on llie great | luminous principle that every man must give to i every other man every right that he claims for himself we do absolutely agree. I would des- ' pise myself if I would vote against a man in . polities simplv because we differed about what j is known as' religion. I will vote for a liberal I Catholic, a liberal Presbyterian, a liberal Meth- I odist, a liberal anything 10,000 times quicker I than I would vote "for an illiberal freethinker. ! I believe in the right. I Inlieve in | j doing to other people in these matters as I j j would like to have them do to me. Gen. j I Garfield w an honest man every way ; intellect- j i ual even way.

I know him, and if the peo- i i pie of Illinois knew him as well as I do he would ] 1 not lose 100 votes iu this State. He is a groat, I sixid, broad, kind, tender man. and he will ! do. if elected President, what he believes to | j IH- right. I like him, too, because he is a oer- j i titicate of the splendid form of our govern- I i u,,ut. 1 like hini Ixvause, under our mstitu- , ! tions. he came from abject ]*)verty to occupy j the position he now docs before the Ai.K'rican ! people. He will make Hope the tailor ol every < | ragged bov. He will make every boy think it , , possible, no matter how poor he is, no matter how hungry he may be, he will make everc j one of those boys believe that there is , : in their liorizou some one beckoning them | i to «lorv and to honor. That is the reason I j I like this country, because everybody has a chance. I like it because the poorest man can | live hoping his Ixiy may occupy the highest I place. 'Illis is the reason I like this country. That is one of the reasons I want to see Gen. ; Garfield e'ected. He Ix-lieves in honor, he be­ lieves in liberty, he believes in an houest'ballot, • he believes ui collecting the revenues, lie be­ lieves in good money, he believes in a Gov»xu- { nient of YHW. he l>elieves that this is absolutely I B uatiou, and not a confederacy, and I believe in him.

That is an old stage of politic# in this world, but since the Fourth of July, 1770, it has not lieen the politics of the American people, and I don't think it will lie next November. Let us see how much the platforms preach, and, at the hustings, the orators palaver about the suffrage. The plat­ form of the Democratic party speaks of it as the right preservative of all rights, and immediately proceeds to take it away from the blacks. Now, if that right is preservative of all rights, aud you take it away from the blacks, cunning as you are, you take away their lights. was full of gratitude, $15 out of the $50, at which he seemed a little dazed in of the capital stock of these corporations is as follows ' emmtmgit, tho lawyer ..id:" Why I {gS IS liot it All right ; Are not the $15 .

He kept his eyes open, learning rapidly the men who were not worthy to occupy their places, and discovering competent and worthy men to put in their places. The Legislature of Louis­ iana passed a law authorizing the issue of #7,000,000 of levee I Hinds, ostensibly for the levee. They conditioned their sale on their bringing to the State not less than 80 per cent, of their face. The Governor and three Commissioners were to place the bonds on the market; but they soon found that the bonds would not' bring more than 40 per cent. To avoid the law they invented the plan of borrowing money and using the bonds as collateral. They could borrow about 34 or 35 per cent, of the face of the bonds.
