1 H?t evenine every available Beat in the
upac.ious Academy of Mimic wm occudIocI by
those who assembled to hear SJ199 Dickincon's
lew lecture on "The Rejected Stone." The
audience waa not a whit behind the others
which have crowded the Academy this week,
in point of numbers and enthusiasm, and Miss
Dickinson may well repard tb,e occasion as one
of the triumphs of her triumphant career.
Durmp the delivery of her lecture sue was
frequently Interrupted by applause, which at
times was lonw-oontinncd and almost deafening.
At a quarter-past eight, the fair orator appeared,
and was introduced by Kev. R. Purvi- in some
appropriate remark').
At the close of thee, Misw Dickinson ap
peared and spoke as lollows:
My Friends: It is not the President who can
make or m;ir the l"4iiuies of America, hut
Americans ihem?ulvpfi. I rec;Dizi that we
owe to the generalship ol Sherman, to the da.su
inc brilliancy of iihcridnn, tj the heroic deter
mination and pro wens of Karraau'. I suy, I re
cognize to the lull a hat we owe to tliese men
Mid others for the victory they won; and I re
cognize what the nation owes to those who
were cot penerahi. Yet it was not oui or two,
not the leaders, but Americans themelver. who
aved America. It is not a sintue of tue par
tisan, but the statue of the people, that miiht lie
elevated lu commemoration ol this groat (teed.
Since one inim, however (neat and command
ing, could not save us, one man cannot destroy
ns, however infamous or hum'ite he may be.
( Applau.'e.) The power that crownsor dethrones
ue, mat honors or debases us, that saves Ameri
can liberty or destroys the American repuolic,
lies not in the bauds ot an us-assui-maile Presi
dent, but in Uio hearta and consciences of the
men aud woinnn before inc. (Appl.tu'-c.) Place
"My Policy" in the scales, and justice will weiuli
them dow n uutil it is burled liue a Rather to the
clouds. '
Does he attempt 1 1 cl in the wheels of the
great engine of progress? It presses forward
until he ia crushed beneath them. The victims
of tyranny cry aloud for freedom, and the world
rc-cciioce witn toe so in-j, until
its aceompani-
merit is lost
in the
magniticenc retrain.
(Applause.)
Said a creat Reneral upon one occasion:
"Toe bnaiuess of battle is victory." B it to-day
the matter at issue, the subject of tiie strife,
is not a mere present triumph, not a mere
success. To-day the loyal millious are battling
lor very life, for their own existence.
I desire to extenuate nothing, to set down
naurbt to malice; and so intending, I believe
1 will state a plain matter of truth when I Bay
that this people's position v not lowered one
whit or. atom within the last eighteen months.
American liberty i.-t now, as then, at stake;
Northern traitors are as numerous now an then,
percliauce core daii'-erous; and loval mn,
North and South, are now as biticr foes of Re
bellion and slavery as thev then were. Indeed,
the only clmnic has been in commanders on the
pan ot our opponentp, in substituting Audrew
JobnFon for Jetlcrson Davis, the White House at
Washington being better headquarters than
the prison cell ot Fortress Monroe. (Applause.)
Nor can vou reoice thai the contest has been
lransiened Irom the field to the polls, rhat
ballots have been substituted lor bullets. My
Policy" et ill has its triumphs In blood. (Ap
plause.) The idea that was defeated in Maino
was triumphant in the streets ot New Orleans.
On the one hand stands the President, with a
party ot traitors and office-holders; on the other,
t he great and loyal masses, witn their represen
tatives in Congress. Said the Richmond Er
uminerl believe it was in May last "Will
Sumner and Stevens daro go before the supreme
forum of the people, where the contest mu?t at
lact be decided?" Will they dare go to the
Bupreme forum of the people ? They have so
dared; they have so appealed.
The contest has been decided in Vermont, in
Maine, will be decided in Pennsylvania within
the next ten days. (Applause.) Shall Rebels,
defeated in bRttle, dictate terms to their loyal
conquerors! Shall the cause that wai seem
ingly defeated on the field dictate terms in the
Legislature of the nation it failed to destroy ?
Shall slavery, crushed in war, revive iu peace ?
Shall loyally yet be made odious and treason
respectable in America? Suall the true and
tned and long-sutlering servants of thi republic
be destroyed, while traitors are again elevated
to power?
This is tbo difference between the President
and Congress. This is the question which the
people are called upon to decide.
Pennsylvania has more than once ay, mors
than a thousand times been declared to be the
keystone on which hangs the safety of the re
public. Never before did the keystone bear a
burden ol such weight as to-day ; and to-day
uhe recognizes this weight, this iireat responsi
bility. Thank Uod that we can believe it !
To-day our great need, our pressing neces
sity, Is to elect to Congress, the Fortieth Con
gress, men who know the right, and knowing
it, dare maintain it a Congress go overwhelming
in its majority against the President, thatu
may laugh to scorn bis threat at St. Louis "to
veto every one of its measures that may brought
before him" a CoimreBS so overwhelming in its
devotion to the people that the paltry mmoritv
will not dare enter into a coalition with the
President a Cone rets so surpassingly strong
that it can impeach Andrew Johnon, and try
and sentence him at the bar ot the people he
has betrayed, whose liberty and authority he
has trampled under foot. (Applause.)
Consider, my friends, what may be the result
if the party of this Congress is defeated at the
polls by the party that now opposes it. Who
constitute this partv? What representatives
did it send to the Convention which polluted
our city on the 11th. of August lust? Itseut
ilives, Pollard, and John Forsyth, who did
more through their respective papers to uphold
and sustain the Rebellion than an army in the
Held, and who now mourn over it as their ' lo-t
cause." Things lost, my triouas, are olten found
again.
Of the meu sent to this Convention from
Ceorpia. there weie but three who had not
served as volunteer officers in the Rebel army.
From North Carolina it sent eighteen men, but
three of whom were not active and open seces
sionists during the war. From Arkansas it
sent the man who drew a revolver on the heroic
old man who Is now the loyal Governor ot that
State, when be refused in the Convention 3
phyn the ordinance ot secession.
From Arkansas it sent Albert Pike, who placed
himself at the head of the Indiun regiment
which outraged, murdered, and scalped our
heroic blue coated boy. From South Carolina
It sent Its Governor the State that has nve
times refused to repudiate its Rebel war debt.
Jt sent F. W. Hughes, who declared that the
heart of Pennsylvania was with tbo South. It
Kent the Recorder ot MemphU, who in the midst
1 the name ana carnage urged on the Rebel
mob to deeds of violence.
It sent Vallandtohaui ! The Convention re
ceived Dick Xuvjor, jcn. imvia' brother-in-law,
If T
who first had loyal men dig their graves, and
then had them shot where they stood. Hut the
Convention that conld receive such men with
honor into it midst, saved its reputation by
shutting out Clement Vallandlebam.. (Applause.)
It ent Governor Parker, who si.x years ago
his woios are rather indefinite, ajd I know not
precisely what they mean announced tnat the
a rtett of 2ew Jersey would flo with blood, ere
a lepimcnt left its borders t o contend agHinst
the Boutb. It sent Wade Hampton, Pendleton,
and a host of others like tb em.
We know who represented tie party that
stabbed the Government in the back. The men
who were too cowardly to contend for their
principles were mcsr. admirably represented by
tue men who made Andrew Johnson President.
It is not necessary to mention the respectable
lawyeis among Uiem. It sent Doollttle and
Cowan, the niefi who were twice requested to
resign by thc.r constituents, but woo regarded
the rules ot fr.onor as we observe the stars from
OlarofT. (I iaughter and applause.)
Ihtse b'jtng the men who represented the
party ol Andrew Johnson, what was it that they
propose! to do? To re-enslave the blacks; to
pteven. any advance of free labor; to resume
ibeirylace in ConfiTess; to regain their former
power; to replenish their rockets; to recuperate
their strength; and this tbey proposed to do, la
coalition with the Copperhead party ot the
North, in a Comtres which shall ignore the one
rightly elected by the people.
They will coalesce with the President, and go
forth as the legitimate Government. If they do
thi, they will succeed in plunging the country
into a new civil war, and to the horrors of
wnich those ot the old one will be no Hung in
rompaiist n. They will bring a majes'.io republic
to woe, to misery, to anxiety, even to destruc
tion aud death itself.
Vou sav these arc the ravlnz of a radical,
fanatical "brain. My Iriends, I bat qnote Irom
Rayrt:ond and lilair, from the New York Times,
the New York After, the Richmond kxaminer,
ihe lit mphis Aoatamhe. The New York Unies.
in July lust, said that tne whole South will
stlcct whomever they please to be their repre
sentatives, and thai, with their Northern allies,
they will organize the next Congress. My
friends, I know ot hut one way to prevent sucti
a consummation, and that is to render their
reDmentatives when they come to Congress,
like the audience v. hich the Irish priest chat
nclerized by paying, "The present company ap
pears to be mostly absent." (Laughter and
applause.)
on the 18th of last July Mr. Blair said if Con
erefcs persistea in its determination to cxelme
the Southern States from representation, it' it
peisiMed in shutting out ibelr Senaiors and Re-
resentative s. that their Nort iern friends would
coulesce with them, and the result would be two
Congresses and two Presidents one recognized
bv the Constitution, the o'.hr bv the rudicalt-;
that the result would be war, a war .iot carrier
on iu the Somh alone, but begun in the North,
und sweeping acros Pennsylvania aud Massa
chusetts. What noes the South nay to this plan?
Ou the 17th ol July the Riconiond Whiq called
for a Droelamntion of ihe Piesident, announcing
thut the South has t lie risjht ot representation,
una that Congress could nut deny them their
representation if they vi etc elected in accordance
with the laws.
it is needless and useless to mm up the vul
gnr, disgusting, and iutamous antise, vitupera
tion aud hatred heaped upon the representa
tives of the people in Crngr89. It is useless, I
think, to repeat the coniempt and o. hum that
have been catt upon them bv the man who hn
railed Congress a set ot ladical bounds, a pack
of usurpers, tyrants, a-id slanderer. Tlics-!
titles have been so oft repeated, that our hearts,
stunned by the Found, IhU to grasp their enor
mity, their falsehood, in their olt-time repe
tition. Not content with callir.z the lawfully elocted
Senators nnd representatives of the Unitp.l
States usnipcrs, he poos on to announce that
they are endeavoring to break up the Govern
ment; that, in shutting out the South, they are
making themselves officious: that they are par
tisans, who have no respect lor the Constitution
ot their country; that their present course, if
persisted in, will terminate In the establishment
ot despotism, and finally ot monarchy; that
they have the power to lorward the restoration
and biirmony ot tin; Union, but will not use it.
But Congress, I tell vou, is endeavoring to per
petuate this Union, that its destruction may not
be inevitable.
And now that these acts of theirs are doubly
oaioiiL, aud hateful, what are the euuuciattous
of men standing ou the verg? of thrt Govern
ment? To what docs all this tend ? If Andrew
Johnson succeeds in making the country believe
that our Cougrtss is a set of tyrantstraitors,
and usurpers, tie will tell the people that it is
his duty as President to recognize another Con
gress in its nlace. He goes further than this.
lie onnounces that he alone will stand between
the machinations ot this body, beut on the rum
and destruction of the people. 7, Andrew John
son, the tribune of the people, will Kingly and alone
keep them lack.
It reminds one of the story somewhere told;
about an old cat that went to pay a visit to a
friend a chicken in distiess. It undertook to
help its friend. "Could it not bring this for it,
or that?" It appeared full of anxiety and soli
citude. "Thank you, thank you," said the
chicken; "I thank you kindly, but I think I
would get well if you would only leave me
alone !" (Laughter.)
Now he boasts of his devotion to the people in
not proclaiming himself Dictator. He says he
has the power to do so. He announces that
Congress is usurping the most uuheari-of
powers; that Congress is ignoring his rights and
veiy existence, and is endeavoring to make him
a Dictator: and that they have refiised to recog
nize even his legal authority as President. Con
sistency has it not somewhere beea said that
thou art a jewel? Where there is a tyraut, there
must be slaves. We are not yet ready to bear
his name in our foreheads, nor to wear Ins
chains on our limbs! (Applause, and cries ot
"Good! good !")
They say in the South, that tbey guarantee
free speech to every man who may come withiu
thpir borders. But what did the Momph's
Atlaanche do ? It published a black list ot the
of the men who honored us by assembling in
convention in this city on the 3d of September,
men who were marked for banishment, for de
struction, and for death. Free speech is guar
anteed within their borders! Is it so? We
constantly hear that these men aro repentant
for sins of omision and commission. But
Henry A. Wise bos said that he desired no par
don, that he hud committed no crime t!iut he
had simply obeyed the commands 'of those
whose right it was to give them.
1 be newspapers ol the south that huve reached
U9 since the 14th of August have repudiated the
declarations set forth in the resolutions and
addres then and there Issued. They deny that
the South has been in rebellion; that they'stami
as tieneis; ciamnnir that ihey tought in Belt
defense; that the national Government ha I no
ip i? lule.rltre with them. They declare that
mo mimic iu twueue was Dut a tatlure to u
ceed. Some one declared to his daughter, who
hud said to hlin that the thing for whicQ ho was
wishing had been dropped: "That which U
postponed is not given up."
There is a continual a-sertion, too.' that peace
has settled down with her bright wines over the
South. The President annouuecs this in bis
declarations. His friends and supoortcrs de
clare it. Ah ! my friends. I ask you what aro
these declarations and proclamations of? oir
enemies, from the President up? (Lauchter. )
Let the loval men men mercilessly slaughtered
iu Texas, since the proclamation, auswer! Let
the robbing, burnings, mobbii.gs, shootings,
and hangings, with which every Southern paper
is filled, answer !
Let the thousands ot loyal citizens escaping
frotn death into the Northern states, answer!
Let the voice of the living, the ciios ot the
wounded, the groans of the dviuu. the ehastlv
stillness seen aud heard in the lurid glare of
Aierapnis, answer;
Let the Rebel Congressmen and traitorous
city officials; let the perjured President, who is
rPHflOTlRttlle tnr tlin umucaf.ra at Ktat flrluatiQ
where Ihe streets were streaming with loval
blood, answer I Let all these answer, and tell a
wondering world, that the proclamation of
peace wbs a proclamation of war. waged on
loval men wherever found: that It was notblutr
more than an attempt to destroy the friends of
the Republic at foe bands of Its enemies ! (Ap
plane.) Andrew Johnson declares that Louisiana i as
thoroughly a State as Pennsylvania. Whenoe,
then, came his nght to interfere in the acts and
doings of this which he calls a sovereign State?
It you and I held a meeting hem in Phtladel
pt:la, what would we think, a Phlladelphlans,
if the President of the United 8ttes should in
terfere from Washington with the peac and
tranquillity of this city ?
It strikes me very forcibly ttat the aforesaid
Andrew Johnson, the President of tlie United
States, would have been very apt to discover
that we bad such a thing as a municipal govern
ment; tht the State government was able to
take care of itselt; that Philadelphia has a
Mavor with whom he could not interfere.
(Laughter and applause.)
WitHn the boundaries of this sovereign State
this convention met, or attempted to meet. It
was a legitimate body, and there was no power
In the land, from the President dp (laughter),
that had a right to interior. It was simply a
body of citizens who had & perfect right to meet
and discuss their own grievances, and the trou
bles ol rbeir SiatJ. if tbo authorities of this
city or State Imagined their action would hurt
the public peace and wel tare, then it was their
duty under the Stato laws to arrest them by
State officers.
Who gave Andrew Johnson the right to decide
the legality or the illegality of this convention ?
Who gave him information in regard to it?
Where did he learn anything concerning it? By
what authority or right did he interfere in its
doings?
Where was the invasion, where was the
domestic violence, where was the appeal from
the executive? Andrew Johnson passed by the
Executive of the State, lgnoied its Governor,
Lieutenant-Governor, and placed our magnifi
cent Sheridan under the command of a Rebel
General.
It he has the right and power to interfere in
the atlatrs of a State, to ignore and trespass on
the rights of its lawfully constituted and elected
officeis, to interfere witn the city municipal
authorities; If Andrew Johnson, the President,
can do this, if the supporters of his policy and
his friends, the Rebels, can do this, Cougress
has the same auihoritv to interfere lor the pre
servation of the republic and the detense of the
lives and libert.es ot its own friends. (Ap
plause.) Miss Dickinson then reviewed the question
and history ot secession, maintaining that tho
who attempted to go out ot the Union should be
received back Into it only on such terms as
those whose duty it is to determitie shall pro
pose. She then discussed the question of repre
sentation under the old apportionment, as com
pared with the eilect ot the amerdmcuts to the
Constitution proposed by Concrcs, showing the
injustice ot the former system under the changed
condition ot attairs. All tnat is now required
of them is simpiy the justice of a white man in
the North being equal to a white man in the
South, and no more.
All their papers, from the New York Herald
up or down, are coming over to these views,
'ihey all see that if the South continues t.o go
on in its incendiary con jc, they will so disgust
us as to provoke aud lorce us to adopt measures
to ake care of ourselves; they will c miuol us
to put the ballot int.) the hands of the tour mil
lion colored people of the South, (ppaiisu.)
Ir these people must be represented in Congress,
let them be represented by those ot their owu
choice, and not by those whose feclina and
imagined interests prompt them to misrepre
sentation. (Applause.)
The tiermd, Aetos, aud other papers aro urging
the South to accept the terms that Coneress has
piopoeer1. They should not permit this oppor
tunity to flip Irom their grasp. It Is the voice
ot the people that these term. snail bea:xept3d.
The voice ol the people is the voice of God, and
it cries aloud to all menan.1 women that ju.-tice,
liberty, and equality shall prevail throughout
the land. (Applause.)
What reason, then have we to wait? Shall
we wait to rt view ihe arguments of tho enemies
ot our country ? Tho-e men do not argue they
do not reason thev Oghr, on bliumy. Will you
wait till the South yields to the force of events ?
Will you wait until' your prayers lor restoration
and peace are answered Will you wait till
peace settles down upon tne South? No! There
is no reason to wait! Now is the time for exer
cising prompt and efficient action. The country
I ns been rescued Irom the hands of its deso la
tors. The victory etl'ected must be ma.ntaiucJ.
An apjeal had been made to arms. That ap
peal resulted in war, in desolation, in an im
mense public debt, in t;ars, and blood, and suf
fering, in lour hundred thousand graves!
Lcware how you leave the tettlement of this
question in tlie oands of those who wrought all
ttis evil. We have vet to liaut the oattles of
liberty ol independence ol equality. At'.er
these battles have been fought, then cau we settle
down, and not till then.
Will vou leave the liberated slaves in the
hands oi their enemies, now tnat our triumph is
almost complete ? A ship has u eared the shore
alter a long voyage; the anxious voyagers be
hold the lights, the land, and rejoicingly expect
socn to icach the homes from which they were
so long absent, and grasp the hands of I Head
ship an J of love; but a storm arises, and they
arc suoueniv uriven tar oaeK upon tne ouaan,
or helplessly wrecked upon the rocks. And
shall it be so with us ?
Wo have strugeled with the seas. We have
approached the desired haven. The shore is
iust in front. Behind ns is treachery that opens
its hungry taws to devour us. Will you wait
until the storm arl.-es th it will render you pow
erless? Will you wait until the wheels of Gov
ernment are so clogged that they cannot move?
it is not backward that tne North must look,
but lorward. It is not to the past, but to the
luture that America must look. Tne country
was in less aauger wneu the cannon roared
against her in the strife of battle than while
politicians wrangle.
win jou wait tin uonress nas none more?
Never was there a Congress that did so much to
promote tho best iutercsts of tho country. They
did all they could do for other, regardless of
themselves.' They were abused spit upon; they
suumuieii to ine uercest trials mat tyranny
could inflict. They were intimidated by every
means that could bo imagined that wore dii
giiHtiug nnd odious. Bribes and threats were
alternately resorted to by tbo man at the White
House. To all this have your Represent at Wes
been subjected. But by the voice ot the people
they have been upheld.
some oi tnem, it 19 granted, are reeDte aud
timid. But thev only wait to bear from the
people. They hear from over there a voice that
cries out, noii't ipienere wiin inetjonsiiiunon
touch it lightly have respect tor our ances
tors who Iraraed it." Let us ask the si.nple
question: "Do uot the people of the present
time know better what the nation needs than
did those ol a century aeo?" (Applause.) Tats
argument about our ancestors would, if carried
out, stop all improvement all progress. You
rtspect the improvtafeuts in manufactures in
science, aud a thousald useful things: why uot
that, thm, which is ol lar more impjitance
thunall (Applause.)
There has been p.iven to u the corner-stone of
equality aud justice. To-day our corner slono
is once more offered to us. It is the corner
stone of liberty, equality, justice. Whomsoever
shall fall upon this stone shall bo broken; but
upon whomseevcr it shall full whether thev be
traitors North or South it shall grind them to
powder. (Tremendous applause.)
Ihere is no need for us to make haste in thti
settlement of this imnortant queB'ion. Timo
lor consideration should be giveu. There is no
evu in delay.
Bliss Dickinson then adverted eloquently to
the colored race, confessing that to this long
tried and much-suffering ' people so marvel
lously devoted and so friendly, she could uot do
full justice. In conclusion, she said:
Oh! Great God, open the eyes of this people,
that they see, aud the ears of this people, that
they hear, the cry of the needy !
I do not come here to-nigbt to censure to
condemn, or to entreat I stand here, my coun
trymen and women, to beseech of you that you
press onward in the magnificent race you are
now running. Above sound, above groans
above petitions, above sihs, clear and thrilUnir'
I hear a voice that cries to heaven: "Let the
good fight go on !" Will vou to-night respond
For the sake of the four hundred thousand
f raves, filled with the dead that Liberty TMght
live for the sake ol those, let the good up.'nt go
on !
Miss Dlckinon then retired, followed by the
most enthusiastic applause.

"la coTjuequence of some Important new
received from Mexico on the 15tb of tho present
month, the Emperor of Prance, who had
already despatched General do Caetlennu, his
aid-de-camp, to Maximilian, sent him an order
to come back to bt. Cloud, where his Instruc
tion are to be revised and modided.
"Marshal Randon, the Minister of War, wa,
present at thin interview, which I am assured
was of the most important character.
"According to the version preuerallv aocs-pted,
bared, I understand, not merely upon tbe criti
cal condition of attain In Mexico, but also upon
the firmness ot the attitu le recently assumed
by the Cabinet ol Washington, the intention ot
the Krcnch Government is to brinir about a
speedy settlement of the Mexican question, so as
to gct'rld as soon as possible of a perpetual sub
ject ot solicitudtt-mul annoyance.
"To this ellcct tho fleet of transports collected
at Brest and Cherbourg tor the purpose ot em
barking and biinffiner buck to France the first
instalment of troopB is to be largely lncrea.-cd,
so as to be capable of carryin? tho whole oi the
French coutinaent, and to evacuate Mexico nil
at once. All that will remain or tho French
army will then be email pnrrison.s iu eaclv of
ibe harbors where the Custom House duties
conceded to France by Maximilian are to rj
collected.
"Such arc, I am as. ured, tho measures just
adopted In Cabiuet cuuucil in reference to
Mexico. 1 niiiS! say, however, that the Parte
fatrie Is not quire ol that opinion, and asserts,
on tbe contrnrj, that General Cnstlonau's mis
sion has not tor its object to put immediately
an end to the intcrvcntii'.i. of France in Mexico."
