Last evening an Immense audience, including many lariie, tiled the lur.ie IihII of the Cooper Institute to overflowing, aiid listened to a speech by Hon. Schujlcr Colfax, which was delivered under tbe autp'.ces ot tbe Union Republican As. Boclation. A largo number of prominent and influential citizens occupied seats upon the stase, and over their beads were suspended national flags and banners bearlug patriotic mottoes. A bund was in attendance and dis coursed mubic at proper intervals. The meeting 'was called to order by Mr. Charles S. Spencer, who, in u few appropriate remarks, introduced to the assembly Hon. Sc huyler Coliai. On step ping forward that gentleman wus greeted with rounds of applause. Quiet being restored, he said: Now, my friend, let us give three cheers for the great principles upon which we stand (cheer), and cheers for the blood of soldiers consecrated upon the battle-Held, that loyal men might rule tbe States lor whkiii loyal men sacri ficed their lives. (Cheers.) Ho thanked the audience lor tbe kind manner in which they bad welcomed bim, and said he believed it was an evidence that they thought he bad been faithful to the trusts reposed in him. He came before them to vindica'e the policy of the Union Re publican organization, which alone, of a'.l parties in ilie land, never despaired of the American republic. Its past history was covered with plory. Where would nave been the coun try to day had tbe Republican party been blotted out of exl-tence f It was through the eiforts of this organization that victory alter victory was won by our soldier and sailors. (Cheers.) lie would ask, alter this great Rebellion, and after the great victories which crushed it, on what principles should tbe Government ot the United States be established, and on what policy should reconstruction be enacted r They rem' inhered the days when Democracy meant eometbing else than treason. They could not restore to father and mother the lost son; they could not give buck to the weeping widow her slain husband this was irupo:-sibIe. The soldier slept where he fell at Shilob, Gettysburg, Vlcksburg, Richmond and wbere they lought above tbe clouds they sleep a hero's sleep. But this silence impressively speaks to us to crush treason in ibis country, aud nut give back to Rebels the power which was wrested irom lheir hands. There is one thing "we de mand, and one thing, thank God, we have power to demand, and that is security tor the lutnre, and that we intend to have in a Consti tution which the waves of Rebellion might dash Bcainst in va'n. ( Annlanse.) He would say for blniselt and others ot the Fortieth Congress, that they intended to stand till tbe last hour of their existence, through evil and pood report, firmly for the rights ot the Constitution. They meant to stand in the pathway of risrbt. Years ago the enemies of the country sought to over whelm tbe Republican party with tbe epithet of Abolitionist. They sought to make that name a reproach, but the party made it a watchword throughout the couutry. They next called the party Black Republicans, but they had got a good many more of them down South than they wanted. (Cheers.) Now they applied tbe name of radical ; but he would rather be called a radical than a Cop perhead, and his conscience smote him when be ci.lled them DeraoRrats. He preleried rvlical tj Rebel. He was radical from the sole of his loo; to the crown of bis bead a radical enemy to every assassin of his native land. No party had struggled so anxiously for power as the oppo Dents of the Repuolican parly. The Republi cans were anxious to welcome back to the Union the late rebellious States, but they wanted it done on such terms that every man could say be loves the flag ot tbe Union without fear or molestation. They would take nothing less than that, (Cheer?.) Tbe very first session of the first Congress that met alter the surrender ot Lee devifed and proposed a plan of recon struction. It was constitutionally Union. It was to be embodied in our Constitution that patriotism was a virtue and rebellion a crime. Tbe negro had a right to sue, receive wageg lor labor that was in tbe first section, be second section provided that every voter throughout this land fbould count just one and no more in political power in the House of Representatives. Ihe third section provided that tbote who violated their oaths to the country should not be allowed to hold office in the States until Congress hllowcd tuera to do to. The fourth provided that the Rebel debt shall be forever repudiated. How was this plan received? They spurnrtd it, ai.tl kicked it out of their Legislatures, and trampled upon it, and said they would have nothing to do with it. They demanded more power. When this plan was repudiated Congress cuine together again and said they wished the Southern States back, but with guarantees. They wanted protection for the loyal pop e of the South. Mr. Lincoln said if one-tenth of tbe peoplo ot any Southern State could be found that were loyal, he would give back the pjwer in the hanas of that people. Tbe speaker then spoke at some length ot the loyally ot tue colored people cf the South as evinced duifmr the war. He appealed to auy Democratic General who was in the Union army, it he ever r.-ceived smiles of welcome at the South except from the blacks. If he was fleeing tor safety, and saw a white man. he would seek a hiding-place In the woods; out if a colored man, be would 116k him for in formation and fbelier, and always received it. tChctrs.l llr CiU.. ll...i.,.; . .....

He thought they would vote down the Convention in Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas, and when they did they would be shown that the government of these States rest upon the will of tbe great bms of people in them. He stood up for those voj1 I the South, wb9 were true, to the start H.;hr'eecentUl06e had held office f thl ,lf,nrDt.al Government, ttud were Kullly treu trnm .tr,rBon an'1 1erjury. He read fitracu iron the lnnaitt.iit.v r:i. and stripe a'l through the Rebellion. (Kp planse.) God blc those liithfnl Southern men! We were told wc should have a more forgiving heart. He hnd read of the return of toe Prodigal fcon. He did not return to shed tbc blood of tli one who had sheltered blm, and my to them, "Give me buck my portion ot the heritage." If have been much bold that nleht. ne Lai, lucre wouiu not ve.il eaten in that house (Laughter and applause.) Sou came buck humble, cult was killed. Did a Hat the l'rodipal and tbe fatted single Kebel ever come back voluntarily and acknowledge his great crime and a'-k forgive ness? No, not one. No, they kept uhtlng on, till tbe gallaut soHicrs under Grant and Sheri dan (cheers) tumbled them Into the last ditch, and no thanks to ihem for surrendering. There was one thing be could not and dare not do, and that waa to put daggers of power into the bauds of assassins to strike once more at the nation's life. He wantel to see a returning love to tbe Union and flag first. Suppose they could put these States back again, what woul 1 be the result? The Union men would be forced to seek safety in other States. Every white man who was a friend to the Union wo ild be in dunver ol his life. It the allied powers of Europe should say, now is the tim-? to crush these States, South would as-dst. to tear tha Union into pieces, and estanlish their tic'ory. Hut they will not be allowed to do that. The Democrats had been firing cannon lately, but they did not fire cannon after the victories of Gettysburg or Vicksbarg. nor after tbc downfall of tbe Rebellion. Auer they trot through brine, they looked round to see what they had been tiring for. and found that they ba 1 been celebrating Republican victories In Pennsylvania and Ohio, lor both lho.se Siat-s showed an increa-e of Republican votes over prior elections. The Republican party would stand by the cause. He, like John Bricht, Btood on the basis of eternal right. Congress had been called a rump Congress, and if so, then the Pmldeut was a rump President. If Congress was not a legal Connross, then the coun'ry had been robbed of the amount President Johnson bad drawn as salary. One man, and only one man, made him President of the United States, and that was Wilkes Booth. He then referred to tbe peace proclamation of Johnson in April, 16C6, and said President Johnson had no more power to declare peace than to declare war. This power rested with Con gress alone. Johnson's proclamation of peace was not worth the paper on which it was written. Neither was his amnesty proclamations. Mr. Lincoln did not assume to issue an amnesty proclamation until he was specially authorized o to do by Congress, and he recited the law authorizing mm in his pro clamation. (Tbe speaker here read Irom and commented on Johnsou' amnesty proclama tions, and also from the Military bill, which de clares there are no legal governments in the lately rebellious States, ana' said that after Con gress had declared such to be the case, J bnson had no right to assert that civil governments did exist there; but bis only duty wa to execute the laws ot Congress.) The Constitution re quired that be should swear to "laithiully exe cute the laws." Was there any man In the country. Republican or Democrat, who believe i that Presideut Johnson bad kept that oath ? (A voice, "No.") The speaker said that he had stated in Ohio, and now repeutod it, that when Congress assembled asrain the laws must be executed, and that the President must ex-'cute them; but that It he refuse f, and persisted 1u his determination to keep tbe country In a tur moil, there was then but one recourse, aud that was the one our fathers piovirled when they framed the Constitution to turn him out.. (Great applause.) The speaker then alluded to the military government ot General Terry in Virginia. The Rebels went up t J Wasaington and said to Mr. Johnson, "We don't like Terry, and we want his political head in a clarger." Andrew Johubon said: '1 don't like himei'her; be does not carry out my poliey." They did not know how much, tbey owed to the Secretary of War; they little knew how much hed'd in the way of forwarding supplies, amniuritlon, and medicul stores to the armv before a victory could be won. Abraham Lhicoln loved bim, and that was enough. On tbe 21st ot Noemb'T tue Con gress of the Unite i States would assemble an1 resume power in those balls, and within twenty days from that time Kdwin M.Stanton would fo'back a?avn. (Loud and continue! aiplaiic. ) hen there was another of your soldiers the gallant Pbil. Sheridan (gro it aoplause), who by his personal maeoetism rallied each defeat in the Shenandoah Valley, and Beeured a elm vis victory for tbe Union army; a soldier whjse gallantry and heroism were unsurpassed by any man of ancient or modern times. (Loud ap- filau'e.) When the war was over, he was place .1 n command of I he Military District of Louisi'tna, where he set to work to carry out the lavs of Coneress In good faith, aud to repress the Rebel spirit aud establish government on a loyal basis; and what was the result? Up came the Rebels again to Washington to see Jobusou. (Laughter.) "Here," said they, "do you s e ' what this bheridan is doing? He is a loyal man; he is not carrylns out your oolicy : he must b;; turned out." "ies," saw dODnson, --j see; ue J refuses to swing around tbe circle with me; I I will remove him." And be did remove him. and ' tie gallaut soldier came North aud was received with triumphant ovations in cily after city (an plause), and now stood higher than ever in the atlections of the loyal people ot the country. (Applause.) The speaker next took up the I case of General Sickles, on whom he pro nounced a glowing eulogy for his patriot I ism, self-sacrifice, and devotion to his coun i try. He, too. was removed by President John son at the solicitation of Rebels, because be annulled laws that were oppressive to the mass of the poor people in bis Military District, and because he did not believe in "my policy." These acts alone of the President the removal of meritorions officers for simoly carrying out tbe laws of Congress, would subject Mr. Johnson to impeachment. The speak -r then read ex tracts from the National Inte ligencer, which Tat said was tbe organ of tbe Piesident, published In September last, in which it was threatened tbat, "if Congress ever convenes aeatn" (there by implying a ttouot whether that body would be allowed to assemble), and continued their couiee of " usurpation," the Democracy would organize throughout the couutry, and hurl them from their seats. Ho did not believe there was any man in the country who would dare to attempt the execution of these threats: but if there was, and the thing was attempted, the man who made the attempt would be tried us a traitor, convicted aia traitor, and would die a tiaitor, and fill a traitor's giave. (Tremendous applnu-c.) If rebellion was ever attempted a?aln in this Ian ), there would be examples to go ion to history and show tbat rebellion wns a crime, and would bo punished as a crime. (Renewed applause.) The bpeaker then alluded to the speech ol Gov ernor Sesmour before ihe Democratic Conven tion and bis complaints about the national debt and the burdens of taxation. The Demo crat, he s ai l, were tbe last men who on jht to talk about the debt that has been incurred in suppressing the Rebellion. Ali this debt aud taxation bad been broueht about by the Democratic party, who hud possession of tho Government when the Rebolliou was ini tiated, and who wept when it was crushed. (Applause.) Bvery State that rebelled had a Democratic Governor, every prominent Rebel wis a life-long Democrat, aud every Northern men who shouted "Coercion !" when the Republican party made an attempt to sup press the Rebellion and preserve tho Union, aud who said, "You can't put down the South, 1 was a Democrat. The sneaker proceeded at great lenrth to detail the occurrences pre ceding and during tbe Rebellion, showing bow tse Democratic party did everytulm? tbey c nld do to Insnre the success of the Rebel lion before actual hostilities commenced, and ftrw&rd threw every possible obstacle In the Way of tbe Government to prevent the success ot the Union ctuse. For years preceding tho Rebellion the Democratic pirty bad turned its back upon all Democratic principles, and bail become the mouthpiece and abettor of tyranny; it bad failed to maintain tho dignity and power ot the Government abroad, or to pro tent tbe rights of American citizen", native or adopted. Aud then, when the Rebellion com menced, which bad been concocted and planned in the Interest of slavery, the Democracy of the North did uothinir but echo tho voice of Jeft. Davis and other leading traitors. When Jell. Davis said It was a "nigirr war," the Northern Democracy shouted, "It's a nigger war;" when Jeff. Davis said Lincoln was a "baboon," tbe Democracy echoed "Lin coln's a baboon." (Great laughter.) When JetT. Davis said we never could conauer tbc South, the Democracy said, "you'll never conquer the South." In conclusion, tbe speaker said he pladly turned from this diiik picture of trca-on and Democratic svmpa thy with treason to tbat noble and pa'riotic party wbo-e annals were the brightest ever recorded on the oage of history tie Republi can party of freedom and equal tights, which sustained und upheld the treat and pool Ab'abnni Lincoln when tho tires of wrath and calumny and vituperation aud hatred were hurled at his head, and carried the country tri umphanily through the bloody ordeal of civil wht, and preserved the Union of these states. (Great ppplausc.) The great leader of tbe Earty and champion ol humanity had cen stricken down by the hand of an ns-assin, but he still lived lived In the Heaven above, among the glorious com pany of martyrs lived in the hearts of all who bate tyranny and wrong. (Applause.) From the top of Fame's ladder he ba t mounted to the skies, and be had taken with him tbc manacles ot four millions of his fellow-men. (Prolonged applause.) The noble party of which he was a member still remained, and wouldjcontmue to live long after those who arc J now in its ranks were gathered witn ineir martyred chieftain and those who had fallen on the battle-field in defense of its principles. It would continue to live so long as tbe oppressed needed defenders, and liberty and human rights wcie in want of champions. (Long continued applause, terminating in thiee cheers for Speaker Coliax.) A couple of songs were then sting by the Glee Club, at the conclusion of which the Chairman introduced Colonel R. Stoekett Matthews as a "Maryland Radical," and among the most elo quent ot men. At the close of Colonel Matthews' remaiks the meeting adjourned. FROM EUROPE BY STEAMER. THE PAPAL TERRITORY. Italian llcport of the Battle of Bagua-rca-Eilraoidluary Tactic of the Papal Troops.

Niur.t's visit to Florence hasnotgiveu birch to any negotiation between the Floreuce aud Paris Cabinets concerning the revision of the Bepteniber Couventiou. To what end, then, tne arrest of Garibaldi by order of Minister Ratazzi? The day of Intrigue is passed; the hour of sinceiity is at hind; t kill U a meaningless word it it niguify not firmness. Tbe arrest ot Garibaldi by tbe Italian Gov croment, which is indebted to the General tor pose ession ol tho two Sicilies, can only be under stood, anu jusciucauon round therefor, if King Victor iiimauuel and the Italian nation have abandoned the idea of securing Rome; if they have tot fet aside their intension, the arrest is a hpw deed ot infamy by a former oileuder and an impostor. How can we admit or believe that the Italian Government and l.ation, that King Victor Emanuel and his Prime.Minister Ratazzi, have reLouDCed their plaus upon Rome when wc have before us the subjoined letter? TO TBI ITALIAN PEOPLE. Italians: At the time when Europe renders homage to tbe nation, and recognizes its riahts, it pains me much to see youtns, U.-king experience and grossly deceived, who. having forgotten their duty aud the gratitude owing to our best allies, are preparing for a civil war, undertaken in the name of Rome Rome, thu city to which all eyes are turned, the object of uot uuuru tuvtii i anumi tu lilt; 1UUSUU1100 I lave sworn to protect, I have ever upheld the Italiaa Hag, hallowed by the blood and made glorious by the valor of my pcopl.

Italians, beware of culpable impatience and lent ludent agitation. When the hour for the accomplishment of the preat work tba'l have arrived, the voice ot your King will be heard m your midst. Any appeal but his is intended to invito a revolt and a civil war. Tbe whole responsibility and the rigor of his laws will Hull upon thoe who do not heed my words. King by the will of the nation, I kuo v my riebts and shall succeed in preserving in its integrity the dignitv of ihe crown and tbat of Parliament, that I may be entitled to call upon Europe, for the complete justice due unto Italy.

We have not seen in be correspondence from i hp Koutb or in tbe accounts by teleeraph. a XlV well-grounded I complaint.

The marked decline in price, of produce which ha. taken place during iim week ba. caused uneasiness In some quar tis and as some of the banks are carrylug a lanre amount of produce psper. the general fliiriositlon manifested has been- to shorten the Hneof dlsoouuts, and to confine loans to par ties who are engaged in strictly legitimate busl oeM operations. It has been partloularly a tight net lor speculators, and losses bate been suMalned by parties who dealt largely In grain at the high prices of a week airo, but they have been so widely distribute! tbat no serious embairaasments have resulted irom tho decline. As margins narrowed down, tha bank, promptly called for additional seen rules, whlcb, in nearly all cases, met with early attention, thoueb a good deal of ''shin ning around" was required at times.
