Great Republican Mass Meeting at
Broad and Farrisu Streets Speech of Mb. Uu
kant, of New Orleans. Acreeably to a call in
the papers, a larsre andeuth isiastic gathering of
the loyal Union voters oi the Fourth Congres
sional District astern bled at Broad and Parr ish
streets last evening. The meeting was called to
order by the selection ot the following otliccrs:
Chairman Thomas Potter, Esq.
Vice-PicHidcnU Fourteenth Ward, - Colonel
William B. Tnomas, David Cramer; Fifteenth
Ward. William Matthews, Matthew Band; Twen
tieth Ward, Charles H. Craige, CliarlesT. Yerkes,

tieth Ward, Henry B. Ashmeadf Twenty-tirst
Ward, Jacofi D. lletz; Twenty-fourth Ward, A.
J. Andrews; Twenty -seventh Ward, Edward
Miller.
On being escorted to the chair, after the sub
sidence ot the enthusiastic cheering of the vast
nssemhlacfo. Mr. Potter snoke very forcibly and
leelvnglv in behalf ot the preat ends of the party,
and referred in grateful terms to the honor ac
corded him. Amidst the niof-t rapturous ap
plause, he introduced Judge Durant, of New
Orleans.
SPEECH OF JUDGE DURANT.
He referred in very forcible terms to the great
struggle which was beiore them, and expressed
his liappiness in heing able to advocate the
great principles of the party at the present im
pending crisis. He referred to the days ot the
Loyal Southern Convention, and expressed his
and their lasting gratitude to the citizens of
Philadelphia tor their courtesies and kindnesses.
By the blessing of God the land has been re
claimed from the hands of Rebels aud traitors.
Passing on, the speaker reterred to the course
pursued Dy the President of the United Wtates in
running counter to the Congress of the United
States. He wished to know whether the will ot
. the people, as represented in Congress, should
he respected, or whether that of the President
should be put in its place. He here referred to
the course pursued by those who were in the
habit of treating Congress with disdain. Shall
the people obey the President or the Congress
of the United States ?
He then spoke at great length on the amend
ments to the Constitutions proposed by Con
gress, and showed that they were iutendod for
V. . . . . - c i . . ... r . i T I
Hie Desi interests ot an hecuuus oi me uuii'u,
tUp nrntootimi of luw iinrl eoual rights was ex- H
tended by them to all parts ot the Union.
' The speaker then dwelt upon the idea of
negro suffrage, and contended that It was but
simple justice to the colored people that such
privilege should oe granted. They had fought
and died for the iuterests of the Union, aud
should, therefore, enioy the elective franchise.
He concluded by relerriug to the services of
Hon. William D. Kelley in the cause of
freedom and liberty, and said that there was not
a Union heart that did not beat in unison with
his in the ereat struggle: th.it his name was a
- a housenold word among them.
During Judge Duiani's speech the Republican
Inviccibles arrived on the groaud, swelling the
immense crowd,', and adding greatly to the
grandeur of tho aP9enibliige.
James Milier, Esq., ot the Twenty-seventh
Ward, then stepped lorward, and read the fol
lowing resolutions, which wete addpfd without
a dissenting voice, amidt great enthusiasm :

After the rendiue of the resolutions, Hon.
William D. Kelley, niter repented calls, stepped
to the ppeaker's stand, and spoke at length.
DON. WILLIAM D. KELLEY S FPEECIT.
He caid that as it was expected he would
declare himself, he would do so. As the leading
man on Ihe opposition ticket was the iirst under
his notice, all he could say of IIei9ter Clyiner
was that he was dead politically, and stn'iketh
in the nostrils ot his own party. There was
not a rat in the dock of Philadelphia or New
York who understood better when to leave a
sinking ship than James Gordon Bennett. When
he heard of the storm in Maine he called his
editors about him and said, "Boys, this ain't a
local victory, but a devil of a tornado, and we
must tack ship." Andrew Johnson had adopted
a plan ot reconstruction that had destroyed
spch as Heister Clvmer.
The "Little Villain," as he was called by Ben
nett, Mr. Raymond, of the limes, who led the
Johnson forces, over whom Doolittleand Cowan
held the Keys, had requested a dozen gentlemen
to write him a letter, eo he could reply in a two
culumn one, with a view of getting back to the
Republican party. He had lost his standing in
the party, bis credit either for honesty or saga
City as a statesman, and was anxious to tret buck
when he found it was evident the party would
be wiped out that put up HiesterjCl.yiner against
the gallant Geary. Republicans had been asked
to vote for Welsh and the opposition men would
vote for Geary. Any man who traded oir, even
for a constable who had the slie; litest chance,
was a tool, for it was certain Geary would have
60.000 majority.
The Judee said he had been a candidate tor
Congress lour times, and never had assailed his
competitor. He did not menn to assail his pre
sent competitor, for there was no use of using
artillery to kill mosquitoes and torn-tits. (Loud
applause.) He meant, however, to repel some
oi the slanders the foolish men had made at a
meeting down this street. Not a Democratic
meeting, for that party was'dead. and buried in
the Wigwam. The new party was either the
Davis-Jobn.son Union or the Johnpou-Davis
Union, he hardly knew which. Ic reminded
him of a boy at a lagoon in Louisiana, who saw
a snake swallow an alligator's tail, and the alli
gator swallowed the snake's tail, but neither
got the other down.
As a Democratic party it was dead, and the
party that now claims that title has no right to
do so, for a Democratic party means the party
of the people, which it is not.
He would not stop to consider the record of
John Welsh, E?q., tor all who knew him knew
him never to have been a friend of civil aud
religious liberty in this country. It was said at
this mongrel meeting that the Republican party
proleH.f', to be friends of the soldier; but wheie
was Biu Kelley's record? Well, he would answer
that by t-aylng he had no record, nor did he pro
fess to be a soldier. Ou the 12th of April he
would be 52 years old, consequently he was
pat the age to have been a soldier when the
war began.
There was a Copperhead party in Concrress,
however, who were trying to defeat the North
by starving soldiers in the field, by tailing to
vote taxes for the draft and bounties, so that re
cruits could be supplied to the shattered ranks,
and he confronted ihat party, and like the Irish
man at Donnybrook lair, never saw one of them
with his head bare that he did not strike with a
shillelah.
John Welsh. Esq., was in the army, and put
his record beside mine. I can hold up my palins
and sav, no innocent soldier's money ever pol
luted them. Aik the widow of the dead hero,
the mother of the dead boy, whose mutilated
form tills a soldier's grave; ask the soldiers
I themselves if their money ever touched my palms
for any service I rendered. (Great applause.)
IX was saiu w nen iue uuub couvcuuou uuiui
nated Wel6h that he had plenty of money to
tpeud In the canvass. Well may he spend it, as
it is said he made $300,000 by his services in the
army.
Considerable confusion was created at this
point by the appearance of the Twenty-fourth
and Twentieth Ward Associations of Boys in
Blue and the Elephant f'lub. Many humorous
remarks were made by Senutor Creswell, llou.
William D. Kelley, and others, creating conside
rable laughter.
He resumed his address, saying John Welsh's
xecord was written in gold, shaded with green
backs, which was obtained by charging the
"Boys iu Blue" twenty cent for a cigar, a dollar
a slice for cheese, ana selling pies by tho quar
ters. Any man who had realized seveuty-tivc
thousand dollars, as Weldh bad done, must have
driven a brn-k and heartier trade. (Applause.)
should not have made tbee allusions had
it not been for George F. Gordon (?roaas)
and the other patriotic (laughter) friends ot
Welsh. lie had been challeuge.i, and there was
his record compared with the siit'.ar of Fort
Delaware? and Gordon, who WaS known to bo
always truthful and honest, might explain it.
II ib constituent! knew his record; and wiia.
it had been in the past it should be in the
future. First, he was tor the indiscriminate
unity of tho country ; ana second, tor the bound
less liberty of the country. Ho claimed to be,
in his feeble way. the champion of the laboring
man; and he wanted the broad, fertile, and
wealthy fields of the South fitted lor those who
choose to emigrate there lrom the North. It
was his desire to see the South like the North,
with its broad system of universal education.
and its churches sustained by voluntary contri
butions. Every man who was not convicted of
crime should have a fair day's wage lo' a fair
day's work, and the right of the ballot to defend
the right of labor at intelligently as the work
ingman of the North defends his.
Every citizen should have a voice in the Gov
ernment iu which he lives. In Great Britain he
should be represented in Parliament, when he
pays his taxes, and every Irishman who is taxed
should vote for men in the Biitish Parliament.
Every American citizen who paid a tax, and was
not convicted of crime, should have the rUht u
vote tor men to represent hlni in Congress The
strong and the rich have that with which to de
tend themselves, and they desired to prevent any
one from attempting to equal them. He ha)
stood by those great principles, and when he
went back to the Fortieth Congress witti 45UO
majority, he would stand up more vehemently
lor tne tights of labor and the lanoring num.
He concluded amidst the most enthusi
astic cheering of the great ma-,9, ntid
a'ter tho uproar hud abated Mr. Pottei
introduced Senator Creswell, "f Maryland.
SPEECH OF SENATOR CRE-iWELL.
He commenced by r furring to the great issues
of llie day which were staring us in the fare,
and which called for the nioct exalted patriotism
and Ptatesmannhip for their solution. He said
in a very ironieal manner that no longer ago
than the 22d of February last our di'.uiHed,
patriotic, and distinguished President, who
never violated a plc.;ge, did not value dignity,
and was ever and always the friend of tne
people, niasle a speech, lu 'which ho wished that
he had till the people ot the nation about bun,
so that they could hear the melodious s'ruins ot
li is words. He only wished he was here to
night, where he would tind a v ry respectable
amphitliwHti'e. lull ol people ol the United ?tate.
No doubt they would take an interest iu the
remarks he might address them.-
Andrew Johnson was elected two short years
ago, by the Republican party, Vice-President.
Now he boiints that, under the operat ons ot tne
Constitution, without any reforeuc: to the assn
sin Booth, he is the President, and hence distri
butes the Constitution all over tne laud. He
hnd often heard of men violating the truth, but
never heard ot a more periect Kpecimen ot a
far than this same Andrew Johnson, lie bea'
Tom Pepper, and he was kicked out of hall lor
lying. What pledge did he ever keep ?
At this some one in the crowd yelled out at
the top of his voice "The temperance pledge,"
winch cieated intense merriment.
The epenker resinned. Not exactly that, fr
if he had taken it he kept it tight in his breeches
pocket, nnd never condescended to practise it.
He had assured the Republican party that ho
would make buttle with Ihem in the ranks,
and never associate with Rebels.- No v he was
making war on tlie party. He had proclaimed
that he would appoint none but loyal men.
and he ha1 violated that pledge in every Stale.
The malignant traitor had been driven, bv self-
dctense, to take Copperheads lor his ollices, a
loval men refused to hold them.
He would defy him, himt as earnestly as he
may through his pigeon-holes, to nnd one
pledge made to the Union party that he hud
lived up to. The only way of accounting tor
his apostasy was that he made such a sinner of
his memory that he credited his own lies.
Congress had contrived a plan of restoration,
believing in ihe old-fashioned notion that they
naa been righting in a good cause, ana yet Au
di ew Johnson denies us a return to the same
state of affciirs as before the war.
He then spoke at length on the Congressional
amendments to the Constitution, nnd to the false
light in which the opposition had placed them
to mislead the people. He made some very apt
and ludicrous comparisons, illustrating tlie
fallacy of the reasoning of the Johnscn party in
regard to the cll'ect they would have on the
petqile.
He concluded his speech by referring to the
gallant services of General Geary in the held
and at home, and to the long and patriotic
record of Hon. William D. Kelley, aud con
cluded by an earnest appeal to the Union loyal
men of ull parties to rally to the support of the
representatives of the people in Congress in
their efforts to re-csitablish Union and liberty
throughout the length and breadth ot the laud.
He expressed his hope and conviction thai
General Geary and Hon. William D. Kelley
would be elec.ed by the most overwhelming
majorities.
The meeting closed at a lute hour with three
times thre.- cheers tor Genry, Kelley, and Cres
well, and the vast assemblage dispersed to their
homes.
Owing to the immense gathering being so
great that no speaker's voice could rench all
present, another meeting wa organized on
Bioad street, neur Brown, at which speeches
were made by J. P. Longhead, Cornelius Wnl
boru, and others.
Republican Mass Meeting in the
Fib st CofconEssioNAL District. A meeting ot
the Union Republicans of the First Congres
sional District was held last eveniug at the junc
tion ot Moy b mending and Washington avenues.
There was a large attendance.
The meeting wus organized by the selection of
Edwtud C. Knight, Esq., as President, and of a
number ot gentlemen as Vice-Prci-idents aud
Secretaries.
Upon taking the chair Mr. Knight made a few
remarks, in which he said that the Union Re
publican party ot the State of Pennsylvania had
selected as candidates loyal men who could be
trusted by the people, and he knew, from long
personal acquaintance with tne gentleman nomi
nated for Congress in the First District, tnat a
better selection could not have been made.
(Applause.)
General .uuzzv. or onto, was taen introduced.
He said he bad no doubt, lrom the signs of the
times, that Pennsylvania would follow the lead
of Vermont and Maine, and elect, the Republi
can candidates.
The Hon. Charles Gibbons next followed,
and was received with cheers. After thanking
the assemblage for their manifestation ot sood
teeiing. ne promised, u eiecteo. to enter
upon the discharge oi nis amies witu an earnest
desire to perform them faithfully, keeping ever
in mind the Hcrincural declaration that ngtuc
ousnes exalteth a nation. He had uot consented
to accept the nomination 'roni any ambitious
leeiings, nor irom any seiusn considerations;
and if he should not be elected it would cause
him no regret, except as it affected the cause he
espoused. Mr. Giooons tnen reierrea to tuo
position of the political parties at the present
time; gave tne origin oi tne uepuoncan party;
and concluded by a review ot the amendments
to the Constitution nroDOsed bv Conuress.
The meeting was further addressed by William
H. auiuu, esq., una otners.

Tde AspF.ssoRsnip in tue Second
Ward. Toero appears to be great un-upnrehen-slon
in reatiid to the anpoiuitnent of the Assessor
la the Second Wara, and an explanation of the
real state ot affairs may bo interfiling. Whe;i
tho vacancy was caused by the death of Mr.
llarnicr, the Democratic Assessor, it was1 tilleil
by the majority ol the Commissioners (K-nubli-cim),
and not by the f'ourt of Common fleas, a
generally believed. The tne'. tnat both Ash.
sors wf re ot the same political party cave ris
to the tear that there would be trouble at the
Extra AsFCsment, nnd thu case was submitted
to Judee Ludlow, who was asked t fay thui'h)
Afessor hud no tight to meet in secret, ns r.
was nllegtd they claimed to do. Judge Lu Hn..
said, that while it was true they had no ligut to
meet In secret, U would be improper o adurn
everybody, and he therefore sugaicntcd that the
As es80T9 allow a gentleman to'rcnnmi in th"
room with them, as tne representative of tho e
who were apprehensive of fraud. The Jn lge,
however, had no authority under the law In
compel the j Assessors to admit strangers, ari l
hence their refusal to permit any one to b:
present dining the Extra Assessment for the
Sicond Ward.
