Ci.arles Gibbons, Eq., m callin? 'he meeting
to order, said thnt the delegates Irom The Soutu
wer present to-night to greet their brethren of
the North.
Mayor McMichael was then called to the
Chair, nnd in taking his pliice, he commenced
bis speech itb the remark "I am here!" This
was received with shouts of laushtcr. Wiien
this iiad died away, Mr. McMichael stated that
he was not aware of the "poiut" he had made,
Lut he Intended to say "Here I am." As an
organ ol the Union League, he bid the true and
tried men ol the South ''Welcome to our homes
and hospitality," and to say to tlietn that we
will lend them our hearty co-operation.
(Cheers-.) In the isue now made up between
Congress and the Executive, no liptit-niin led
man can hesitate what to do. And on the
second Tuesday in October the people of Penn
sylvania will, by their ba'iots. ad did the people
of Vermont yesterday, show that, they are de
tei untied to maintain the principles lor which
they have fought. (Cheers.)
Speech of General Butler.
General Butler began his brief remarks by re.
fern i. k to the distracted state of the country, In
consequence of the de:ermltied efforts made by Mr.
Johnson to frustrate the legislation of Congress.
Be then turned to the late massacre of New Or
leans, and added:
I ask my triends in Louisiana to say If thmr
ferrule friends could not walk the length of New
Oi It-arm uti harmed during my administration f
((.beers ) Compare this nub the nine months that
that city has been governed accord'iig to Mr. John
sen's poliev ! Under Mr. Lincoln's edinmislration
a convention whs held, and adjourned to tneot
again at the cull ol its President. It met to discuss
what amendment to the constitution oi Louisiana
was necessary to consider the question of uni
versal suffrage. Writs of election were issued.
No man can doubt that the convention had a right
to meet. It intended simply to meet and wait for
the returns of the new election. Mayor Monroe
had served for a time in one of the prisons of the
government, but was pardoned by the President.
At a given signal bis police opened an indiscri
minate tire upon the. ball of that Oonvention, and
-what was the result'! A clergyman of blameless
life, who bad gone from hi home to instruct the
ignorant, was opening the Oonvention with prayer
when tbe shots were tired. Seeing that there was
no safety for him there, he tied his while bind
kerchief to a cane, over tbe symbol of liberty, and
went down the steps toward the police. He was
shot down, and then pounded to pieces by the
cowardly assassins employed by Mayor Monroe.
Still went np that pure cry, "Father forgive
them, for they know not what they do " We had
hoped that tbe blood of the lamented Lincoln was
"ongh for these butchers; but they req aired more.
Tbe hecatomb of New Orleans was stnl required.
The man who tore down the ft ig at first im New
Orleans should have met the death be courted and
deserved. (Cheers.) It was against him that Geu.
Dlx Issued his celebrated order. That same man
is now an officeholder in New Orleans.
Which policy do you desire (bat of the Presi
dent, or that of the Congress of the United States!
This Is no question of party, and whoever makes
it so does a wrong to his Clod and to his conscience.
(Cheers ) It is a question that appeals to every
man in tbe country irrespective of party. It Is tbe
cause lor which the army and navy fought. Your
blood was spilled in vain if this policy is all that
can rome out of it.
Bat it will not be. We shall persevere until we
bave perfect lustice and equality Deioro tne law
for all, and the American nag will need no white
banner over it to render It respected (Deafening
cheers) And now, with grateful than us for this
most grateful greeting, 1 will bid you good night.
Speech of Senator Harlan.
Amid load cheers, Mr. McMichael then Intro
duced a gentleman who, for the sake of principle,
had lesigned a seat in the Cabinet senator Harlan
A tbe introduction was made, a mighty shout (.
went up from the vast gathering. At this junc
ture, in the far distance on the extreme edge of the
crowd, came the grand torchlight procession,
beaded by the Republican Invlncibles, nearly a
thousand strong, all in full equipments. The
Geary Clnb, of Chester, arrived in an opposite di
rection about the same time.
Mr. Harlan said that he believed a large mola
rity of tbe multiplied thousands here to-night
aided in tbe election of Abraham Lincoln as Pre
sident of V'e United States, and enacted laws that
aided in the suppression of a gigautio rebellion,
and have no desire to dissolve tbe political connec
tions wliU which they bave acted. When indivi
dnala commit grievous crimes they sometimes
seek to gain Immunity from pnnishment there
for by a change of name, it u so sometimes
with parties. It is not surprising therefore that
the Democracy one wing of which is in the south
and ihe other in the north should seek to change
their party name. We have no cause to do so, ex
cept that we have elevated to places of power and
trust some of the leaders of the so-called Johuson
rarty. And if some ot them have so deserted us,
we find tbat among the twelve disciples ot the
Lord one behaved very badly.
lie continued and said that the traitors
who denied tbis principle were those who were
meet trusted; for Judas carried the bag and dis.
trlbuted patronage. Like Johnson, continued the
speaker, "Here I take my stand, and there is not
power on earth to move me 1" (Ureal laughter.)
Would it not be well to eiamluu to-night very
briefly the radical record of the bumble individual
yko now occupies the chair of state 1
m at inns to know if we can f as tif yourselves
for having elected Johnson to the Presidency Of
the United Stales, tie ran wtii lur a eaou, dui
h tha vounc Dlantsnronc UD it withered for
wnt of earth. It waa not so inuoh the fault of
ths husbandman as of tbe soil, boms of these gen
tlemen present were with him la the Senate in
iuii hn the rebel leaders were preparing to ab
scond from the halls of Congress. We remember
vi. thriiiiuv denunciations then, when he pointed
ths finger of seem at those traitors, and said that
be, like Ji flerson with Burr, would hang them bv
't.sieck. Be aided In the expulsion of .less D
Mr ght from the Senate lor recommending om.-
ou.h to Ihe retiel President. No rebel Senator oi
thai day would roll his garments by a-sociftiliu'
wi'h him. He Identified himself with the Union
cense, end when our armies had become McClelr
Isnlzed through their generals he consented to
withdraw Ire in the senate, an.i became a brlgaille
end Provisional Governor of Tennessee.
He so- tiilred all tbe measures of Congress the
emancipation ot slaves and declared before a
vast meeting of colored people tbat be hoped some
Moses would arise to deliver ihem from bondage,
ard that If no other arose, he would be their
Mcsee. Wben be learned of his nomination an
Vice President, he said (hat If there were but flvn
thousand loj al people In a State, they should con
stitute tbe S ate.
J heseoplnlons, continued the speaker, were an
nounced by Jobi sou on every available stump In
tbe country. At Inst, tbrongh the machinations ot
tbe reriels, inspired by the Devil, he became Presl
dint of the United Slates. In reply to speeches
made to bim in the Execnttve Chamber by delega
tions from many States, he reiterated these declara
tions. He said that In the criminal code to each
otlence a penalty was affixed, but that these were
trivial nfti-Bces compared with treason. He said
to the Virginia delegation that If the murderer i
Mr. Lincoln could be found, no one can object to
his eudnrance of the extremist penalty of the law
1 his murder, he said, was but an offence sgaiust an
individual, and if the destroyer of Mr. Lincoln's
lite ougbt to die, what should be the fate, b asked,
of the man who would destroy the na'iout
Asa Tennesseean, be raid to a colored delega'lon
bewonld be willing to admit the intelligent col
ored man to the hallot-box, If be could read and
write, nud was worth 'J5ii In property. Were not
the radicals jns'itled lu claimii g htm as one ol
their number! Since he became President he h is
signed every bill passed by Congress, shvb two.
With what faith, then, can Congrets be denonnced
for passing the laws which he has approved! Tbe
two laws were the Preedmen's Bureau and theOivii
Kigbtsbill. The first was Intended as a substitute
lor the Freed men's Bureau bill then in force,
that would not expire until Congress Hgain came in
session. If not a good bill, it could then be
amended. Its object was to provide tribunals, to
prevent tbe life irom being trodden nut of Union
men, white or black, by rebels. The military
courts had his approval, ai d their convicts were
being punished as sentenced. Congress thought
that cruris to d"cide npoi. such c tses being neces
sary, tney should be put nnder the civil laws, and
so enacted
The Civil Rights bill provided for the enforce
ment of the Constitution of the United Slates,
tbat all citizens of the Sta-es should enjoy like pri
vileges in any State. Congress grunted to nil per
sons the right of appeal from local courts to the
United Mates Courts. Now, what, then, Is the
cause of disagreement between Congress and the
President! The constitutional amendment pro.
posed provides that every man born in the United
States shall be a citizen ot the United States, and all
those who con tor m to the requirements ot the na
turalization alien laws us they now exist.
J his was but a declaration of what is now the
law cf nations. It is now the admitted law ol
every orpanizatinn of the earth, that a man born
within the jurisdiction of a government is emi
tied to its protection. The bill provides that this
main pt Incipie shall be a part ot the Cons'tta'loti
ot the Ut.lted Sates; next, that if any class snail
he excluded from the ballot box on account ot
color, the State excluding them shall so rate in
apportionments representation. The fourth pro
vision was, that it any citizen snail nave once
sworn to support the Constitution of the United
estates, and nasai'erwaros drawn nis sworn againut
it, he shall never be permitted to hold office.
Ana this is the wnoie oiiunaing or congress
upon that head. And which of these provisions
connicts witn tne law oi lennessee, mane ny An
drew Johnson when Governor, where no mm is
allow ed to vote who is not loyal! And now all
loyal men in 1 enneseee are being crashed out bv
Andrew Johnson, who is now engi'-ged in a war
wlih the Congress of the United States. Congress
is willing to admit these w ho treason has not
been preceded by perjury. But what do the)
mean by the word loyui I They mean those who
ure willing now to support the Constitution of the
United suites. JJoes any doubt the correctness ol
his interpretation ! Else how is it, in the late re
bellious States, Andrew Jonnsou has appointed
men ns pro visional Governors who have mingled
in end aided tbe late iTbeilioi;'!
Tbe speaker alluded to the late meeting of John.
son generals upon this suhj-ct. These generals
see no difference between loyal y and disloyalty
between themselves and rebels They prefer
Stephens and Davis to S'evens.Chandler, Sumner,
Ben Bu'lernnd n Wade.
You now see what Is meant by "my policy " It
Is to annihilate the difference between traitors and
Union men, or rather to prefer traitors to those
w to for five Ions years fought for ihe Union His
first step was to cull acouventioii in Philadelphia,
'without respect to party" Af'er they had con
vened they stud they would make a platlorin upon
which the whole world couln suiud traitor and
patriot alike. Those men who have murdered
your brothers and sous have repentod. Why can't
yiu trust their promises'! Because with heir lips
lo the Holy livungensts tney Drone ineir oam. ti
the Wigwam they gave their hare promises. Can
we believe the wold of him whose oath cannot be
taktn ! (Cries of "Never.")
We aie told that their convention was all har.
roony. Everywneie else we nuo ainerences. in
the animal creation there are ditlerences except in
tbe snake tribe. (Laughter.) All sorts of snakes
tbe magnanimous black Bnnke, ihe stinging adder,
tbe rattlesnake and tne coppernead will an agree
in tbe sauie den; and so did these political snakes
at tbe late wigwam, where copperhead aud rattle
ens ke entered together. (Loud laughter and cheers )
Ihe Convention claimed to nave swauowea tne
Democratic party. I dou't believe it. A large suake
cue swallow a little soake. with perfect impunity,
and a mother snake can shelter her young ones In
side ot ber wben danger approaches. This is ail it
has swallowed, and one of them bss now crawled
ont in search ot post-ofBces. . If there were any ho
nest uemocrats eo swauowea mey win oeiiuua
very tough to masticate, and, like Jonah, will be
cast up without a tootbmark.
What harm can be d tne by admitting traitors to
Congrese, though they are In a minority! Tbe
President and bis recent friends are laboriug to
elect. It possible, a sufficient number of traitors, so
tbat when the two disloyal delegations are united
ihey can oiganize both branches of Congress end
adopt "my policy." In their canens the rebel por
tion would bave a majority, and their northern,
sympathizers will feel bonnd in honor to stand by
them. Should they fail I concnr with you in say
ing that tbey will then show what else shall we
tear! Mr. Johuson ha undertaken to say that
Congress is opptsed to the Constitution of tlij
United States, lie says Ihey are interposing every '
obstacle to tbe perpetuation of the Union, and thai
be will defend it to the last extremity. He first
declares tbat Congress is an element of tbe Union,
and then tells yon that he U warring with the ene
mies of the north. He tells tbe soldiers that tbey
did service in the field, but tbat their services ar
now needed elsewhere. He says he has the power,
with f6ti,()(Mi,(K)ll in the Treasury, to make hnnsel'
dictator that be could intrench himself in the
capital and defy mankind.
If these were the utterancea of a monomaniac
you could treat them with pity, or by an upstart
king, ) on would say tnat tney were periecuv na.
j tural.
1 well
' but tt
rat. liul ADOrew says ue juves iuu people iu
to do this He says he knows no superior
he neoole and Almighty God. Did not Ctcsar
roclaim himself in love wlih tbe people of Koine!
Did be not thrice reject the prolerred crown! aud
yet he overturned ihe Tribune and erected tbe
hrone of tbe Ca'-ars. And Mr. Johnson now
seeks to overturn Congress. Read your Oonstltn-
ion and see If Mr. Johnson does not intend to ig
nore it in tbe future. It provides that Congress,
tor dereliction of duty, may impeach and expel the
President, aud dismiss every functionary that
holds oilice under it. The Supreme Court is not
superior to Congress, for the House may arraign
its members before the Senate aud expel them from
tflice
And yet the President declares himself superior
lo Congress. (A voice, "Oh, he's drunk ") I have
beard tha' drunkenness can never b pleaded in
extenuation of crime. But 1 have detained you
too long. (Cries, "Go ou! ') 1 have performed
bnt a siple duty or caning your attention to these
contradictions in the utterances of the Preslden .
On the second Tuesday ot October, If you ca-t
vour vote lor Clymer yon sustain the President in
his views; it you vote for Gen. Geary, you sus
tain the loyal people and Congress, and the Con
stitution as the fundamental luw of the land.
Speech of John Minor Botts.
Mr. Harlan tat down amid a torrent of ap
plause, and Hon. John Minor Botts, of Virginia,
followed :
He snld tbat ha spoke sincerely when he said
that he had only accepted the Invitation to be pre
sent on condition tbat he was not to be asked to
make a speech. He was too poor in tbe command
of language to thank loyal Philadelphia for her
reception of the men of tbe south. He waa grate
ful that he still liyed nnder the stars and stripes
of America, He thought last Monday that he
would give five years of bis life to witness such
demonstration in his nwn siuttx.
One of the most extraordinary spectacles that
ever njiyrorou in inn oonntrv Is now before us.
The President and Mr. Seward once the lavorlte
of the north the President ms.lrtnv war nnnn tli
Oongresa, charging two-thirds of them with being
traitors. Tbe man wbo helped to lift a traitor
Mo pover Is himself a traitor And bis secte-
Hiy Is pin) ing the pin t ot a puerile joker, telling

neve Is tbe honest man I He who remains In olfioe
o sat tbe t'rsad and butier of the people, or he who

1 be whole ditlerence between ihe President and
rngrrtr is as to the mode of reconstructing the
Union. Every one desires to see ihe Union Te
stend at the an test, possible period. The loyal
rariy north and south desire It reconstructs, ae
Keisu'h would say, "npon principles of solidan
y." We want permanent peace, wt'h every man
,,. f0 ureter the flag of his country, to say and to
thli kwnalb chooses. The other, party want to
is store It by placing In power the men whose
t.lrody bands bave been warring against ns.
1 be Presld nt is not only on an electioneering
tour, In which be is supported by every traitor
t oith ai d sou'h. 1 bave never before spoken dis
uspectfnily of Mr. Johnson, but 1 am compelled
o say that he is dishonoring the country and dis
tancing himself. What honorable, rettued or
recent roan tan reed without a blush of shame the
j etch made at Cleveland by the Chief Magistrate
i I this country I (A Voice "He was drunk, and
lorgot be was President ") Would any gentleman,
.-iddrrssii g a loyal people, tell them that they were
to cowardly to fight, but remained at home to
beat tie government I How will thin sound in
i-.urcpe l He says be has no dignity. He tells the
irifb. He said that he carried the Presidency
wi'h him. He carried more of the tailor than tbe
Prendent.
Now wht t are the means to r store the country I
(A voice -'Give the colored people a right to
vo'e ") t'( iigi.sg has provided tor that; it is not
tor ns to do so. Each State is qnalilled by Congres'
'o n gulate that fir Itself 1'. Is impracticable to
uci.n plish that now. It requires only ten States
oriji'd it, nnd you can no more get a southern
s ate to accept it thon you could finish this war in
ti first year, as Mr Seward said would be done
(Cheers.)
Woulo they disfranchise themselves for the sake
el otl eis I I don't care whether my own State, or
tny other, shall ever be represented in Congress,
unless by lojal men. I bad ten thousand time
ra ter tee her as she is than represented by traitors
1 tHi been in put lie lile for tony years, aud the
019 iuiin was always my guide. And as I have
uck to it in the past, so help me God will I stick
to it In the future. The terrors of a duugeon. in
which I was confined, did uot change me a gal
lows cnunot. I will work and labor and die, if
need be, In ihe cause of the Union. ( Ap.ilause )
While mt.st of yon express your satisfaction
with ( oi gress, I complain that Congress has no'
done enough. Ihey have been greatly behind
public sentiment, ns you will perceive iu the en
t ning election. - Carry out faithfully the intention
of Hie law. Declare by law that every man north
and souih, who bus voluntarily made himself a
i itizvn ot the coi federate States, ho-tile to the
United Suites, has alienated and denationalized
himself bus lorteped nil claim to the protection ot
the fo eminent. (Loud cheers.) Declare such
men aliens by law, who can only tie restored to ci
'izeiisl.p by ihe law-n nking power of the United
Mates; nnd let the condition be that no man who
litis voluntarily ti.ken up arms against the coun
try, thnt no man who has become a citizen of a
i ovsri mei:l at war with the United States, shall
er be citizen. (A voice, "Suppose the Prei
oent puidon him!") The Preeidem caunot make a
ciiizin by tardoning him. Can the Pre-ic.ciit
male a citizen ot aninil robber! (A voice, "He has
I'ttielt") 11 the President pardons a man that
id tsn't make bim a citizen. There is uo power t
ph'dm treason before trial or conviction; and
while 1 ask the revocation of no pardon already
p ranted, jet, as a citizen, 1 ask thnt Congress .shall
i.s'iii tt neously amend the Constitution, so as to
lorhid such pardons in the future.
The speaker, referring to the New Orleans mas-t-.cie,
said that it Congress did not investigate this
buicbery, and it they llnd it as Gen. Sheridan re
presented, and do not send up articles of impeach
n ent ngninst the President, they deserve impeach
ment then selves. (Vociferous cheering.) The
creuuy has referred to the proceedings of the
pow wow wigwam. They could not better have
-liov. n their conicious weakness tbun by the muz
zles made tor dogs which Ihey put upon the
mouths of their southern delegates. The speaker
it viewed their platform, and demonstrated its in
sincerity be a transparent nnd tuugniflcent cheat,
an insult, to the intelligence ot the people. Not
one ot the delegates, north or south, intend to ad
here to It.
Gov. Brownlow hns received a telegraphic dis
patch that the rebels in Tennessee have called a
.(invention tor tbe l:lth of this month to over
tLiow ihe State government. Should tbe sword
ever again be drawn between south and nor b,
what will the consequences be! (Immense ep.
plause.) As for the people I also would say, "Fa.
tlier foi give them for tbe) know not what they do."
hut for their leaders let them nuain attempt il!
re) will meet with absolute extermination, and
ihey will deserve it.
This rebellion has been curried onasf.tr ns It
could be by them with arms, lor they now have
none: bnt the spirit of rebellion is as rampant
among them as it us before the war began. And
wo to that man who gives occasion to draw the
swoid! I do not believe tbey will attempt it as
long as Thomas Is in Tennessee or Grant is at Ihe
bead of tbe army (groans for Johnson) who
wnl turn h s arm as quickly against a traitor in
the President's chair as against tbe poorest of thetu
nil I do not believe that Johuson will attempt it.
1 do not believe the time ever will be that loyal
men will be mure united than they now ure. I do
not relieve so large a vote will ever again be given
for loyalty and patriotism as Pennsylvania will
give for Geary tbis tall. (Loud cheers.) He
would be a poor character, dependent npon a few
miserable copperheads in tbe north, wbo can ag tm
rheut the south into u war sncn as it has passed
tbrongh. Johnson has shown himself a bold man,
though not a wise one; but he is not tool enough
tor this.
Mr. Botts closed by thanking bis auditors aga n
for their welcome, for the attention his remarks
bad met with and for their reception ol his south
ern brethren.
Speech of Governor Yates.
Senator Yates, late Governor of Illinois, who
adjourned a copperhead Legislature and rescued
his State, was now introduced.
He said tbat he would not speak, bnt that be
wanted his State to be represented in these pro
ceedings. Tbat State is all right (Cheers.) When
Governor, he was dissa'h-lied with the slowness
of tbe prosecntion of the war He had many con
ferences w ith bis friend and townsman, Abraham
Lincoln. He said to him, "Call out a million ot
men; arm tbe negroes; quarter upon the enemy-
do anything to conquer tne enemy." He said.
"Stand still, Dick, and see tbe salvation of God."
(Cheers.) I bave seen a dispatch from Illinois to.
nigbt. li reads, "Dick, the prairies are ablaze with
patriotio zeal."
Tbe speaker had fonnd more tronble with tbe
copperheads at home than all tbe traitors In tbe
south. Our Boys In Blue could take enre ot them.
But we had a nest of copperheads In tbe Legisla
ture, who clamored for the close of war, and after
nine days, by power given roe by the Constitution,
1 sent the traitors howling to their homes.
(Cheers.)
Save in Chicago, I never saw such a sight as this
assemblage. It reminds me of a prairie tire that
drives the copperheads to their holes. How 1
sbonld like to be in Chicago to see the reception
Johnson met with. Like ZaccheuB, 1 wonld
climb a tree to see it; and when you make up your
jewels tbis fall, Illinois shall be tbe banner State
upon tnem an.
Who bnt the rebels themselves left the loyal men
alone in Congress, went home, organized au inde
pendent government, tired npon our flag, and for
nve years warred against us! Now they claim
ibe right to come back. -Who is to give them that
right and to make the terms except we wbo have
saved the naion l Is tbe question to be decided
by Mr. Orr, Alex. H. Stephens and Mr. Davis, or
bv ourowu loyal millions, when these neonle shall
take their places in the Congress ot the United
States! Shan a nrra take back a defaulting Dart
ner until they are satisfied he has grown honest !
Shall a voter in South Carolina be allowed to have
as much voice In tbe government as three men in
tbe Stale of Pennsylvania!
Under tbe blessing of God I raised 251,000 men
for this war. Tbey were in every battle. Thev
planted tbe flag in every stronghold ot tbe enemy.
Thousands of ibem sleep in Shiloh's bloody woods;
on ivoaout mountain, in tue sanaa ot tne oceau
wherever a battle was tonght. Tbe crippled go
Bbout onr streets. And if we are to say tbat these
rebels, with unwashed hands, shall come and take
this government, then write npon the graves ot
these loyal boys: "Tbsy died in vain." (Long
cl erring) In their names I will never consent
that these men shall come into this government
until tney come in witn clean and honest bands. .1
From boyhood I have been opposed to all dis
tinction in the right of suff rage, j am In favor of
equal rights without diNilnotlon of color. Either
we must give np tbe country to tbe traitor, keep
an army in the south to protect tbe Union men, or
what is better, have universal suffrage. (Long ap
plause ) When I remember the blessings we en
joy in this great nation, my heart is bowed within
me, and I cannot express the abhorrence I feel to
ihe traitors wno have brought so much misery
npon the land
Thank God, the loyal southern people are among
ns. 1 voiea eneermuy ior tne admission ol Ten
nctsse, because only loyal men can repreaent her,
Mid 1 relieve that the ilan'ic chle is the precur
sor, the John the Baptist, to tne great milleuiam
ot universal liberty. (Vociferous elvers )
The speaker closed amid successive bursts of
cheering. The hour was just a quarter to twelve
o'clock.
Tbe Mayor then Introduced Hon. Mr. Pitkin, of
Louisiana, who detailed tbe particulars of the
rorssacre ot New Orleans, of which he was an eye
witness. Tbe meeting only dispersed wben the wee eraa
hours began to appear.

Speech of General Schenck, of Ohio.
My Fellow-citizens: - These cheers, I lake It,
are intended lor the chuso ruthcr than lor mo.
in attachment to which you und I meet to-night.
You have made a speech nearly ns long, prorm
bly, as irnj thing I phall deliver o you from this
ttiiiid. 1 am not here to talk to vo'u.
My Infringe is at the depot, my ticket is pro
vided, tiud in a short time I propose to be on
my way to Ohio, there to lie heuid by bodies of
our c iiens in thar State in reference to the
qnesdif us now neUatiiig the pinlic. n.iud; but in
till that 1 shnll say to them I shall ouiy repeat
itnt nbich 1 snv in jour midst.
Tbe Cbairn an has introduced mo as the
Chairman ol the Committee of Military Affairs
o' ibe llo' fe of Rcpreseuta ives. I do belong;
toibtitbody which Andiew Johnson hm de.np

It were, ot the Government. He belmirs
neither to it nor to any other wholesome orfM
mza'iou. Ilowevor that may be, we desire to
take isue with Andrew Johnson. (Cries ol
"bully," und cheers.)
We dare (o suy to him nnd to his mierable
n.an Friday (laushtcr, and cries of "good" nnd
cheers), Montgomery Btuir, that if he umer
tukes to tuuke a coutjuet, there w'ul be to
word to thar question. We ar- hautfins, us it
were, i ion tbe verue of the Government ; we
ue no Cciicicss, but the nomiual head of tii -
governing party ot tbis country.
e assume it' to be u portion of the (Jovem
n .ent. Wli., pent lumen, the Conjrress wh.cii n
tins spoken ol a a surreptitious body, us nn
embodiment of revolutionary nnd traitorous
nuti, seeking to overthrow this proper consti
tutional organization, is just that same Con
gress elected bv the loul stiito of this country.
w h'ch Audrew Johnson hns been for more ti:itu
nycnrpasi cons' ltutionully reeogmziii;! by up
pioviug; of its u ts.
It is iust that body which, elected bv tin
loyal States ot this country, declared him to
ue vice-President ot tne unpen M:ire, una
niterviards, by the assassin hand ot Booth, to
the hoiror and ditust of ad pood men, Provi
dence, lor some wise purpose concealed irom
us, made him the beud of the Goernuicut, nud
net Vice-President merely, but President. .No.v
he calls Congress a rump. It tbis is the rump,
what, in the name ol God, is that fas end ot t'.ie
ticket of the Union party of 18G4 he now nirler
tukes to laud over the whole country ? (Cheers.)
Now what is the issue this man has made with
us ? lie claims that w e are the traitors.
The whole issue bet.veen us and the President
.vho thus denounces us as traitors, and read -lions,
because we staid by the Government v
oi r tocuiry, und remain upon that solid ground,
ai d the issue is simply whether trai'ors au I
labels, whom he either pardoned ortakes now t
his coiihdeuce to control th j Government, shall
e.ocrn und determine its lut'ire. (Cheers.)
The idea ot Ihe President is, that the wu- being;
over, these States would stand precisely on the
san.e tcotiiiR that you and 1, or hny other lovul
citizen enjoys. We deny that; we say thev
ftand an subdued, whipped, criminu! Stales; and
we uvk bc-f.ire they are restored, that they shali
give us security. What we ask is that we iucoi'
ointe into the Government, as a couattion,
heita'tcr to be observed, several thines.
First, we will take them by the band when
they pive such pledges us Tennessee has. We
ask' thini to make it a part of their Constitutions,
und the anieudmcnt co the Constitution. (Cheers. )
Vteatkaiso that the neprons, who have been
.-laves, shall be counted with theiu who liavo
representation.
We pioposc that the burdens placed upon the
mirpuided people ot the S'iuth to enable them
t' overthrow the Government, shall not be cou
s.iileied as a lair obligation to be paid by this
Gotemment. (Cheers.)
The General spoke for three-quarters ot an
Lour, and was olten interrupted by voeilerous
applause.
Speech of Senator Wilson.
Senator Wilson, ot Massachusetts, was then
introduced. lie said: 1 came here liom Massa
chusetts to loin tny voice with yours In wel
connnp the loyal men who have come out o
the dark and troubled nipht of the Rebellion.
1 knew when I left home that the people
would open their hearts to these brave ineu.
No city of tbe Union has won a more plorious
name lor benevolence than this. We huve met
here the tous of all the Southern States who
bave stood by the cause ot human liberty
wuen they were baptized in tire and blood.
We are here to-nipht to speak a word lor the
cause of there men, who hold life and liberty
at the mercy of Rebels.
We are here to tell them that they shall live
at home, master ot the position. The question
before the Convention is, whether we can extend
t he blessings ol freedom to every man upon this
continent, or not? We who saved tbe country
.-ay it shall be so, and that all men shall be free
and equal.
I am not here to defend Conpress opainst the
indecent a-s-aults of Audrew Johnson. I wculd
simply say to him, that we propose, with the
support of the people, to exercise the constitu
tional powers with wkicn we are clothed. 1
charge Johnson with havlnp betrayed his prin
ciples, and he did it before Lmcoln was laid in
his piave. Blair and men of his calibre pot bis
ear, and whimpered that it was time to make a
treat conservative party, and choke ort such
men as Stevens, Bumner (cries ot "Wilson.")
Well, you may include me too if you choose, lor
I belong to that party. He was never with you.
I kuow he was not, lor he has been working to
overturn his party ever since his election.
(Here the speaker was interrupted by the ar
rival of the "Bovs in Blue," with General
Joshua Owen at their head.) I say that th- Re
publican party has done more tor civilization
and humanity rhuu auy other party that has
ever exi ted. (Cheers, aud cries of "That's so.";
H bas saved this country from the curse ol
slavery, aud the Government irom the rule ot
rlavdioU'ers, omanized the lamest army on the
plunet, buried three hundred thousand of the
noblest men, auo put down the most eipanuc
Kcbellion that ever existed. That is its record.

Speech of General Walbrldge.
Fellow-cirlzens of Pennsylvania: I am not
here to speak at lenpth, but to assure you tnat
he Empire State expects Pennsylvania to do
her duty in this campaipn, and to assure you
i bat we shall regard you as recreant unless vou
plve Geary torty thousand majority in tne elec
tion. It will diffuse joy throughout our State,
and bury Johnson so deep that he will never be
resurrected.
We did not believe in him. He said he would
lead the negroes throuph the Red Sea, and he
has done so, through the bloody massacres of
Memphis aud New Orleans. I desirs that you
may hear irom the Senators of UicbJaan and
iudiana. I am only here to start the meeting.
I will only say to you, recollect that as goes the
Kevstone State so goes the Union.
Senaror Chandler, of Michigan, was here in
ta educes). He said:
Your expectations, I am afraid, have beon
rais"d too high by my friend's eulogistic re
mark. My speech will be short.
We have passed this one rebellion. In 1SC1
ihio put ion whs in a ferment. Rebels and traitors
threatened the Government. Five years have
I asscd since that time, aud the Rebels of the
fc-ovth hae been put down by the North. Tbey
don't care to fight any more in the hold, but
ihey will murder loyal men in the South; but
they don't want to tight the North. They pro
pose to march ior ward and enter Congress to
muke laws for us loyal people.
They wete defeated, and said they accepted
tbe situation, but 1 say tbey have only changed
their leaders and their tactics.
Then it was under the leadership of JetT.
Davis; to-day it is under Andrew Johnson.
Then they Jought to overthrow our Govern
ment; to-day they will vote to overthrow it.
Thct e Rebels now propose to become your law
nialers, and to take cnarge of your national
atla.re. Can treason c;o farther than this r Has
it a deeper and darker shade r
Iteau the history of Andrew Johnson and his
traelliiip menagerie (applause), aud would you
believe that we bad ollered these Rebels the
most magnanimous terra f We can have no
in'.'tmnity for tbe past, the dead canuot be
recalled, but we do B6k from tin m sincerity for
tbe future. But they say, "We demand our
rights." I went to Ricbinoad just after the
wsr, and then there was no talk of "rights."
Why n ore humble then? But under "my
pollcv," the arrogants demand their rights, if
they ask forgiveness, I will pive it, but it they
want "right," let us give them to them in full,
and hang them.
lu regard io Congress, as Mr. John ys,
"thero is a bodv, as i weie," who are trying: to
break up the Government. No v what bas it
donef It has done hat io o-her logislailfe
body has ever don, ofcriTg them the noblest
funis; audit they don't accept the conditions
we now oiler them, 'hov will tret harder ones
before we have done wUh them. (Loud ap
p'niiFe.) Ihey have pretended to amend their
constitutions, but thco bave never been sub
mitted to the people. Now wo demand that thi
shall be done, nnd leading Rebels who have
pei.iured themselves shuli never hold oflloei
under the Government. Do you wunt thWt
("No, no.") A perjured witness Is not food in
a court oi law, and yet. thev want to come back
and make laws lor us. We alio want every loyal
man to bave a vote.

Destruction of tuh jTkanklin Glass
Wobks. About huli'-pa-'t 'i o'cloc. yesterday
mominp, a tire broke out m the extensive glass
works of Mes.-rs. Gill udcr & Bennet-, located
at the N. W. corner oi Oxlord and Howard
streets. Nineteenth Wurd. The buildiups are
owned by the tirm, and cover a large area of
giound, taking up the ureuter lortion of the
square bounded bv O.viord, Howard, Putnam,
and Mascher streets, lormimr a hollow square.
The main bu Idiugs are 240 feet on Howard
street, 160 icet ou Oxford s'reet, and 100 teet ou
Putnam s'reet. Th structure at ' tbe N.' K.
corner i f Oxford and How aid streets is throe
stoiies in height. A Ions building on Oxford
stieet is two stories, and then in the rear is the
lsrge glass-house, u Imuieuse one-story brick
Btiucture, 130 by 80 feet. The greater portion
ot the works were destroyed or seriomly
damaged, and the machiuery, apparatus, fix
tures, material, stoek, etc , badly injured. In
the warehouse there was a larae amount of
bnipbid glassware, ready tor cbvery. This
was entirely destroyed. Also the machine shop,
which was filled with -noulds, was destroyed.
The works, including buildiups, were valued at
$100,000.
The loss on t' e same will reacluibout $00,000,
their insurance $35,000, divided as follows:
Royal, $5000; Reliance, $5(100; Girard, $5000;
Fame, $6000; New Yoik companies, $15,000.
The tire originated Irom the building over a
tank of coal oil in the glass-hous.', and owing
to the large quantity ol combustible material
contained therein, spread with ereat rapid ty.
Durins the tire a report was circulated that one
of tbe buildings contained a large quantity of
saltpetre, which bud the effect of causing a tem
porary alarm among the firemen. About two
hundred hands were thrown out of employment
by tbe disaster. It is the intention of the firm
to rebuild tbe works as soon as possible.
