The following is a report of his re marks:— Mr. President and Fellow Citizens: —For some months past I have been absent from my native land. I have been removed from the exciting scenes of political strife. I have hardly read the political newspapers of my own country, but during these months I have had leisure to reflect much upon the situation of our beloved country. From all the reflection and thought which I could bring to bear upon it, I have been confirmed in the belief, which was forced upon me more than two years ago, namely, that the policy which was then proposed by Mr. Lin coln immediately upon the surrender of the armies of the Rebellion, to rec ognize at once the States of the South, to have them restored to all their con stitutional rights, and to their repre sentation in the Union, was the only just, the only wise, the only constitu tional policy (Applause.) From that time forward I have struggled to carry that policy into effect. 1 believed then, and I am now more than ever firm in the opinion, that if, two years ago, im mediately upon the surrender of the armies of the Rebellion, the States of the South had been recognized with their constitutional rights, and admit ted to their representation in the Union, under the policy of Mr. Lin coln, all the difficulties which now sur round us, both financial and political, would have passed away. (Applause.) I believe that if, two years ago, that policy had been fairly adopted, the bonds of the Government of the United States this day, at six per cent., would command a premium in gold in every money centre of the world. (Applause) I will state this fact- -which I hope no one present will forget—l have met no intelligent man in Europe who has not expressed the same opinion, that if our States of the South had been ad mitted to representation in the Union, that the whole world could see that we were one people, one nation, with all the States represented and taking part in our legislation, our six per cent, bonds would not only be at par, but would command a premium in gold. Why not? Why should not the Ainer- j ican securities at six per cent, com- 1 mand a high premium in gold, when the English three per cents, command ninety-three per cent, in gold ? No earthly reason can be given, except that these States are apparently divid ed and dissevered; that the States of the South are kept out of the Union by this radical policy. I charge this home to the leaders of that party. The whole responsibility rests upon that radical policy, which, trampling the Constitution under its feet, violating their plighted faith and the policy of ' Mr. Lincoln, the often avowed policy j which elected him, refused to allow to j ten States of the Union all right to j representation. (Applause.) Fellow citizens, it is not my purpose to detain you for any length of time. I only wish to express in a few sentences two or three thoughts. The great, all ab sorbing idea which underlies radical ! ism, is precisely the same idea which underlaid secession. (Applause.) Wh t is that idea? Let us not deceive our selves. Ideas rule the world. What was the idea which led the South into Rebellion? It was this. The Consti tution has no,authority over the South ern States against their will; they have a right to withdraw from the author ity of the Constitution at pleasure, and therefore, after the passage of their or dinances of secession, the Constitution was practically dead in the States of the South. The people of the South went to war to enforce that idea. What did we do? We maintained precisely the opposite idea, to wit: —That the Constitution has supreme authority over the States of the South as well as of the North, and that the States of the South should be made to acknowl edge the supremacy of the Constitu tion. To maimain that idea we called two millions of men to the field. We poured out our treasure and our blood like water. To maintain that idea we created this debt of three thousand mil lions of dollars. To maintain that idea five hundred thousand of our sons went down to battle and to death. By the blessing of God we were victorious in maintaining that idea of the supremacy of the Constitution over the States of the South when we, at length, after a long and terrible war of four years, compelled the South to surrender to that idea; when we compelled the peo ple of those States who made their ap peal to the God of battles to decide the question between us, to surrender the controversy; when the South yielded and acknowledged the Constitution to be supreme and that the flag of the United Sates was the flag to which they owed allegiance; then up rise Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Benjamin Wade, and other radicals of the North, to proclaim anew the idea of the secessionists, viz., the Constitu ' tion is no longer the supreme law of the land in the States of the South ; that we do not hold the States of the South by constitutional authority; that we hold them by the sword and the : sword alone; not under the Constitu tion, but outside the Constitution, by a power which is above the Constitu i tion. That is the idea of radicalism. BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1867. ' It is not only akin to, hut it is identi cal with the idea of secession. It is the I essence of rebellion against the Consti ' tution of the United States. Whether it is asserted by Jefferson Davis at the South or by Thaddeus Stevens at the North, it is a new rebellion against the | Governmentof the United States. (Ap plause.) We have by force of arms put down the Rebellion of the Seces sionists at the South. We do not ex pect to be compelled to put down this new rebellion at the North by force of arms. (Applause.) We expect to put it down by moral power alone, by ar gument, by reason, by persuasion, as we have done in Connecticut, in Cali fornia, in Pennsylvania, and Ohio, by the power of the ballot box. (Great applause.) Mr. President, I will not detain you any longer. I trust that Americans will rise in the majesty of their strength, and- by their moral power, by calm reason, by earnest and truthful argument, and by their votes proclaim again the supremacy of the Constitution of the United States in the States of the South, not only in spite of the Secessionists in the South, but in spiteof the radical anarchists and revolu tionists in the North. (Great applause.) i can very well see by the election re turns that a change has come over the spirit of the country. When I come to Racine now, the place where I have lived for fifteen years, I am not met by an infuriated mob who would prevent me from speaking to the people of my own town. (Great applause.) A migh ty change is being wrought. (Cheers and great applause.) If I attend a meeting in the neighboring county of Kenosha, to proclaim these doctrines there, in which I believe the very ex istence of constitutional liberty to us and to our children is involved, there will be no one to interrupt and insult me, to prevent their utterance, or to interfere with me in any manner. (Ap plause.) Why this change? Itissimply the work of time. Men are beginning to reflect, to reason, to think for them selves. The excitement and passions and prejudices which war has engen dered are passing away, and cool, dis passionate judgment is once more as serting its legitimate sway. I thank God for what I already see, and I think we shall have occasion to be vet more thankful for what is yet to come. (Great and prolonged ap plause.) ELEGANT EXTRACTS.—We have pub lished a telegraphic despatch giving an account of a conversation which a cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commer cial had held with the Hon. Ben. Wade, setting forth the views of that personage in relation to the Ohio elec tion, and other topics growing out of it. Since then the letter of the corres pondent has appeared, detailing in full the political ideas of Mr. Wade, as ex pressed in his own choice language. The following extracts are specimens of the style of the man who now fills the second office in the republic. Re ferring to the Ohio election, the cor respondent approaches him with: "Well, old gentleman, how do you 1 ike it as far as you've got ?" To which Mr. Wade replies: "It's the fate of war. We're d—d badly whipped ; but it can't be helped. We must get ready for another round at 'em." Of the defeat of the suffrage amend ment he says: I'll be for keeping it up until we do win ; for by the Eternal God they can't beat us all the time on a question like that! * * * I won't back a d—d inch." Referring to weak-kneed radicals: "Hell's full of such radicals as we have now. There'll be the damnedest craw fishing you ever saw from this time forward." In reply to a question whether Mr. Lincoln left little or no property behind, he said: "It's a d—d lie. Mrs. Lincoln was veiy well off, and didn't need even what she got ($25,000) from Congress. She took a hundred boxes of some tiling or other—l don't know what— away with her, and the commissioner of public buildings swore there were fifteen other boxes that she wanted to carry off, and he had to interfere to prevent her. At any rate, she cleaned out the White House. I didn't know but she was going to run a big hotel with all she carried off." His opinion of Stevens's confisca tion bill: "A piece of d—d foolery." In regard to impeachment: "What the devil has an election in Ohio to do with the matter?" He would like to know whether Grant was "for John son or for Congress, or what the devil he was for." When lie (Wade) en deavored to elicit from Grant his views upon political subjects, he turned the conversation to horses! "Conserva tive devils" is the complimentary phrase Mr. Wade applies to those who cannot "jump forward" as far as him self. "We'll give them (the Southern States) a republican form of govern ment in spite of the devil and all his angels, including Andy Johnson." We suggest to the party of progress, among their other side issues, to put a prohib itory plank in their platform against profanity, for their fine "moral ideas" lose much of their weight when set forth by their leading official function aries with so many "damns" and "dev ils."—Halt.

AFRICANS MAKING STATE CONSTITU TIONS. The World is noting how the negro is beginning to do his work as Constitu tion-tinker down in Alabama. The State Convention there was temporarily organized by the selection of the editor of a Radical newspaper, Gritfin, late from Chicago, Illinois, as presiding officer. Peck, of Alabama, wis then elected permanent President. The World says: "When this was done, a motion was carried that the members register their names. Of the African delegates, one half could not write their names, but made their mark. This being ov er, the selection of Secretary took place. Barbour, late agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, was one candidate, and Patrick another. The vote was taken by count, and when the first African was called, he insisted upon answering "here." The clerk repeated his name only to get a louder response, "here." Here was a hitch, for here was not a candi date. At length the President explain ed to the Africans that they were not at a plantation muster, answering at roll call, but were voting either for Barbour or Patrick, and the Convention started again. An African was then made Assistant Secretary. Some white mem bers then attempted to get a white doorkeeper. This led to a vote by count, and the African was successful. Then came a proposition that the members take the iron-clad oath pro vided by Congress, which all Federal officers in the North and lawyers in the Federal courts are required to sub scribe. This made trouble, for many Radical delegates were, during the war, radical rebels. The difficulty, how ever, was overcome by the fortunate suggestion that, as General Pope had approved the selection of, and called the delegates, tiie oath was dispensed. Quite a cute dodge! This ended the first day's performance! Later in the proceeding General Pope sent to the Convention a proposition to provide at once for a sort of provision al government, to remain in existence till Congress acts on the one to be matured (?) by the Convention. Under the Pope plan, all existing State offices are declared vacated; a provisional governor is to be appointed by the Con vention, and he is to select all needed State officials. This proposition was referred to the proper committee. A motion to lay it on the table was de feated, but it will ultimately be adop ted, the Africans and white Radicals approving it This much for a new constitution for Alabama! TOWEROFBABEL.—Awriter in Black wood's magazine thus describes the present appearance of the place where languages got mixed. "After a ride of nine miles, we were at the foot of the BierNimrod, our horses'feet tramp ling on the remains of brick which showed here and there through the accumulated dust and rubbish of ages. Before our eyes uprose a great mound of earth, barren and bare. This was Bier Nimrod, the ruins of the tower of Babel, by which the first builders of the earth bad vainly hoped to scale high heaven. Here, also, it was that Nebuchadnezzar built, for brick, bear ing his name, have been found in the ruins. At the top of the mound a great mass of brick work pierces the accumulated soi>. With your fingers you can touch the very bricks— large, square shaped and massive—that were "thoroughly" burned, the very mortar, the slime, now hard as granite, hand led more than four thousand years ago bv earth's impious people. From the summit of the mound, far away over the plain, we could see glistening, bril liant as a star, the gilded dome of a mosque, that caught and reflected the bright rays of a morning sun. This glittering speck was the tomb of the holy Ali. To pray before this at some period of his life; to kiss the sacred dust of the earth around there at some time or other; to bend his heavy body and count his beads is the constant de sire of every devout Mahommedan." A SHREWD WAY OF CATCHING TIIIEYES.—The Paris papers reveal a new style of theft by which jew elers are losers. The thief enters the shop of a dealer in diamondsand pearls, and asks to see some small unset stones. He is well dressed and wears colored spectacles. The stones are laid before him, spread on a paper. Being very near-sighted, as his glasses prove, he is obliged to bring his eyes so near to the gems that he can pick them up with the tip of his tongue, and he keeps them in his mouth until out of the shop. If he fears detection, which seldom oc curs, he swallows his treasure —whence the slang name "swallow it raw" giv en to this class by the thieves' fraterni ity. One of them was caught the oth day. The diamond merchant, put up on his guard, said he had no small stones, but would have a large supply the next day. A policeman was in waiting; the diamonds were laid out upon papers previously impregnated with an extremely bitter drug, which when the thief put his tongue to them acted so violently on hissense of taste that he instantly rejected what he had just taken. The policeman appeared and the thief was taken in the act. REPENTANCE.—Nothing is more misunderstood than the nature of repen tance# Too many imagine it is merely to cry for mercy; or, at most, only to be sorry for what is past. But true repen tance is a thorough change of mind, which always produces a corresponding change of conduct. VOL. 62.—WHOLE No. 5,419. RECEIPTS FOR FITS. Though no doctor, I have by me some excellent prescriptions, and shall charge you nothing for them ; you can not grumble at the price. Weare most of us subjected to fits; I am visited with them myself, and I dare say you are all. Now, then for prescriptions: For a fit of passion, walk in the open air, you may speak to the wind without hurting any one, or proclaim ing yourself to be a simpleton. For a fit of idleness, count the tick ings of a clock. Do this for one hour, and you will be glad to pull off your coat the next time and work like a horse. For a fit of extravagance or folly, go to the work house, or speak with the ragged and wretched inmates of a jail, and you will be convinced. "Who rnaketh his bed of briar and thorn, Must be content to lie forlorn." For afitofa mhi t ion, go i nto ach u rch yard and read the gravestones. They will tell you the end of ambition. The grave will soon be your chamber-bed, the earth your pillow, corruption your father, and the worm your mother and sister. For a fit of repining look about for the blind, and visit the bed ridden and afflicted and deranged, and they will make you ashamed of complaining of your lighter afflictions. LEATHER BREECHES IN THE OLDEN TIME.—How changed are the fashions from the olden time! in former days, remarks a contemporary, working men and mechanics and country people universally appeared in their leather breeches and apron, with baize, red or green vests. Working boys did the same. How changed, we say, the times! An apprentice has now a suit of broadcloth, in cut and style of the latest fashion, with cap, hat and boots to agree. But in the primitive times, all these things were strikingly differ ent. A young man of eighteen was genteelly and handsomely dressed in a pair of buckskin breeches, black or "buff" every week for his Sunday ap pearance at church, llis legs were covered to the knees with blue yarn knit stockings and his feet protected by coarse leather shoes, well greased and surmounted by brass buckles.— Remember, too, that he wore a checked or speckled shirt all the week, but a snow white on the Sabbath, and this he carefully took off when he came home, folded up and laid away for the next Sunday services. After long wear the leather trouserloons became greasy, and growing older, were only flexible when worn, for there were no stoves, furnaces or heaters to warm their garments at. PREDESTINATION.—A Missouri pa per contains the following which will pass without much urging: •'Do you believe in predestination?" said a captain of a Mississippi steamer to a Calvinistic clergyman who hap pened to be traveling with him. '•Ofcourse I do." "And you also believe that what is to be will be?" "Certainly." "Well, I'm glad to hear it." "Why?" "Because I intend to pass that boat ahead in fifteen minutes, if there be any virtue in pine knots and loaded safety valves. So don't be alarmed, for if the bilers ain't to burst, they won't." Here the divine commenced,putting on his hat, and began to look like back ing out, which the captain seemingly observed. "I thought you believed in predesti nation, and what is to be will be?" "So I do, but I prefer being a little nearer the stern when it takes place." ANALYSIS OF FOOD.—It is stated that a hungry man who sits down be forea pound of beefstake, tender, juicy, and an inch thick, and eats it, will find upon analysis that sixty-five per cent, of his steak was water; that eighteen per cent, will go to give him an alder manic fleshness; and that fourteen per cent, is assigned to warm him, and make him feel comfortable on a cold day. Of the flesh-forming ingredients, accor ding to l)r. Play fair, everyone, on an average, requires ninety-two pounds annually to keep up a proper bodily condition. If not obtained from steaks, then it must be secured from something else. Cheese is a great flesh-former (Bo per cent.) and, taken with beer, speed ily conceals all traces of unsightly bones. Two ounces of flesh formers per diem will keep a man alive if he is not forced to labor, but hard labor requires six, or the body will run short of starch and sugar, and go behind-hand in health and strength. In 100 parts of wheat there are 10 pounds of flesh, but there is nearly double the amount in the same quantity of oat meal. No DEFORMITY IN HEAVEN.—Dr. Holland has the following reflections on seeing a little lame boy who was singing ache* rful song: "It is pleasant to say to him and all the brotherhood of ugliness and lameness, that there is ev ery reason to believe that there are no such things in heaven as one-legged or club-footed souls—no such thing as an ugly or mis-shaped soul—no such thing as a blind or deaf soul—no such thing asa soul with tainted blood in its veins; and out of theSe imperfect bodies will spring spirits of consummate per fection and angelic beauty—a beauty chastened and enriched by the humili ations that were visited upon the earth ly habitations." THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. If all the Southern States are adr'fe ted, the full electoral vote will be3j.'; i absolute majority required, 159. Revolutions never go backward, and the present one will progress steadily, ' bringing in under the Conservative banner other States, and confirming by increased majorities those that have already cut adrift from Radical rule. No one, it is to be presumed, will de ny that the following States are abso lutely and hopelessly lost to the Rad icals for the next Presidential contest, viz; California, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. They poll 119 votes, leaving 40 to in sure an absolute majority. With pre sent prospects, can there lie any doubt but that they can be readily obtained ? Indiana and Illinois give twenty-nine votes. Will not both of these States wheel into line? When we see in one year a change of 45,000 in the Radical majority in Massachusetts, may we not even hope for that fossil State, and still more so for New Hampshire and Maine? Then there are several of the Northwestern States which undoubted ly will cut loose from Radical rule with in the coining year, and it will be im possible, with all their hardihood of ac tion and defiance of the Constitution, for the extremists to negroize all the Southern States, so that some of them will undoubtedly vote for the Conserva tive candidate. Though it will take some time to reform the S nate, the Radical rule will be destroyed in the next House, and all power for further mischief taken from them. Let us then be be thankful for the bright skies above. We have an abiding convic tion that the Republic is saved.—-Na tional Intelligencer. A THRILLING SCENE.—About half past eight o'clock yesterday morning, the dwelling of William Sautage, on Wight street, between Campau avenue and Chene street, took lire during the absence of all the members of the family except the young children, who were locked inside while the mother went to a neighbor's. The flames spread rapidly, and before any effort could be made to check their progress, the entire building was wrapped in a sheet of fire. The agonized mother rushed into the burning building with the intention ofsaving her babes, but the smoke and hot ait stifled her and she was compelled to abandon the un dertaking. Jt seemed as though the children must surely perish, so fiercely did the destructive element rage; the flames leaping and curling above the doomed building like a mass of writh ing, angry serpents. The mother was in despair, and her screams for help were truly pitiful. Finally a young man, named William Plass, determin ed to undertake the rescue of the chil dren. Wrapping a wet blanket about his person, he sprang into the building, and groping his way to the kitchen, where they were known to be, he brought them forth in safety.
