General Burnside, on taking tbe chair, said: Comrades: I consider tbe honor that yoa have conterred on me to-night, by calling on me to preside over your deliberations, as one of the greatest honors that has been conterred on me during my whole life. Ot'en have my own Btate und the Government called upon me to perform duties, but I say to you in no case have I telt tbe honor bo great as the honor you have conferred on roe to-night. Daring tbe war it was my purpose aud intention to do all I could for the fcood of the country. In 6ome Instances jour expectations ol what I could do were not realized. I fully appreciate the great disappointment which you must have felt, bat 1 cau say to you, Iu all candor, that in no instance was there a moment when all that I did was not governed by what I sup posed was for the btst Interest of tbe coun'.ry (applause); and now, fellow-soldiers, with ttio same candor I propose to meet you tnlgbt. When tbe war closed it was my desire to retire entirely from public life, to engaae In businesi which I neglected during the war, I commenced to give my attention to that business, aud have done so up to the tme this political campaign was inaugurated. I now feel that it Is my duty, as a friend of my country and as a patriot, to give to this campaign all tbe attention which should be required of me. I hive a great many comrades here, in Pennsylvania, who served with mo duiing the North Curoiiua campaign, the Maryland campaign, the Virgiuia campaign, and tbe'Eust Teuuessee campniuu. I am glad to meet you here with them to night, and to say to them that, in this contest, I am just where I was wben they erved in those campaigns with you. (Applause.) I am trying to night, before high Heaven, to do what I think is for tbe best interests of my country. I belluve, as murh as I believe auythiug on the f ice of this conn, that it is for the best interests of the country that we should elect Grant and CjII'hx to the oihecs lor which they have been nomi nated. (Cheers ) Ami I also believe, with Just us much candor, that they w'.ll be those oflicers. (Cbct is.) During my service in tbe army I bad occasion to take cognizance of certain civil operations that were going on iu the North west, and which you all remember. I was or dered to command tbe Department of Ohio, with my headquarters at Cincinnati. When I arrived there 1 found that treason was rife in all tbe Northwestern States. A large portion of the loval people had gone to tbo war. A lot of bad men had been endeavoring to inaugurate a movement for the purpose of discouraging tbe soldiers in the field, aud opposing tbe Government in its eilorts to put down the liebellion. I discovered at tbe bead of that movement Mr. Valiandlgham. (Groans and hisses.) I took occasion to finest Jum (Hood, good; bully for ytu), Ihsl he would not s'.r'ke us Inthcrei", A treat many people-have celled thai cruel on my part. Wbat could i have d ne? Almost in the same day certainly within a week I r. leafed some three hundred Ignoru", delude! people, whom he bad Induced to coai roll tret,. sot able acts by his treasonable speeche". ( released three hundred people, but I arrest.P'1 Vallsndigham, because I thought he was tin head of it. That is Just exactly whit we pro. po'etodonow. Mr. Seymour condemned niv action in that case, Mr. Vallandiham is one of the chief apos'les of tna Democratic party, ani a supporter ot Seymour. A voice "He nominated him. Genual Burnside I am reminded that he nominated Bey mom in the 0 mrentlon. Now, fellow soldiers and svloro, let us strike these men We have a few comrades who hsve gono on" from us very taw indeed. I think they nro honest. I should be sorry to believe tint thiy are dishonest. Bui a large majority of thecitl en soldiers of the couutry believe that we should str ke tbeie men a blow, which we cer tainly will In November. As I hare said before, I am governed by precisely the same feelings and prlrciples that governed me all tnrougb the war. 'ow these homely remarks that I have made to jou, my fellow-soldiers, express my sentiments. I am witi you beart aud soul in this movement. I hj.ie and certainly believe we shall elect Orsut and Colfax. I now give way for more eloquent speaker j to address yoa. We have soldiers w ho can not only fight bit speak. (Great cheering.) reiiernl Jmlson KilpAlrlck'a Speech. General Jodson Kill atrlck was then Intro duced, aid utter tbe rapturous applause with which be was received had subsided, tie said: Fellow -6olJi'rs, I ii ii piojl and happy to meet you to-night. We have assembled, loyal citizens and brave f-o:Jier, heroes of charge. Boys in Blue cf the old army of Shsrman, Sheridan, and Thomai We have assembled on this spot, wbers. nine:y-two years ago, our fore lalbers aembled to give birth to a free nnd Independent nation ar. l tbe Declaration of Inde pf iidtuce. .We have assembled to take uieaiures to prcsf.rve the on-a id make a living reality of tbe other. We are assembled to alc ourselves this question, Bball unrepentant Iicbrls of the South and tbe miserable vile tiaitors of the 'orth take possession of the nation tint our banner has preserved? (Cries of n'! no!) Shall those men of the North, beaded by liora'do Scvmour, who refused to work with us In the vineyard, paitakeof the rich iruit of tbe labor? shall these men wbo de.-erte l the ship ot state whoa the waves rolled high, man her deck ? We have asfembled to-night bocause we believe the nation In danger. Every gale that comes from the Routh biings to our car the same old yell and cry that we have so often heird and answered on many a battle-field. Who bve we toorpofeus? The same men who oppjsel us during tbe Hcbriiion, loth iu the South and at the North. Wbo are theie men at tbo South wbo have joiced band with the Northern De mocracy ? Why, Hubert Oald. who will be remembered by mauy here present wbo wero confined &i prisoners ot war in tbo Rebel pens. He is the lnun, wbo, on opening many of the boxes sent Soutli by jour loving mothers, sali he thought the articles too highly eeasoued for men of sedcniary nabit3. Then there is Wade Ilaoipton, wbo said to ma that be would rather his arms should wither than live wi h tbe mudsills of tae North, and that he hopod to live to apply the torch to every Northern home. lie occupied a front seat in tbe New York Convention. Then there's ex-Governor Vance, ot North Carolina, the man who addr-e-sed bis troops with the rcmaik that be wantea thom to fill hell so full of Yankees that their necls would stick out of the third-etory wtuJow. lie and WaJo Hampton bad gone into the gucr. Ha busin2ss. but a ride ot 131) roilis on an old mule which I Rave him bad tbe effect of dissolving that partnership. Then there is Forret the butcher, who sur rounded a garrisou of lour hundred men with a force ten times as s'.ong. nnd, under cover of a flag ot truce, marehej his torce to tbe rear and murdered nearly all tbe gariison. He buried living and dead in the same ditch, aud nailed negroes to houses and fences, aud there burned them. These are the men who are opposing us. In 1805 fhe Republican Conventions of New xoik, New Jewey, and Pennsylvania in dicted tbe tame Democratic party for high crimes aud misdemeanors. They were tried before tbe great body of the American people, ami loumi guilty of the charges and specifications. The charges were that we bud scarcely reaped the benefit of the Presidential contest of 1S00 when they expressed themselves not willing to allow a President who bad fairly been elected to take his seat. They al?o denounced the emancipation aud the dratt. When Robert B. Lee was being driven from tho Wilderness, nnd the army ot General Sherman was treading, 70,000 stronc, through Georgia, the Democratic paitv in Chicngo were declaring the wur a ladure. Well, it was a failure for tuo Rebels. (.Laughter.) Geueral McClellan was di tented, and so wns General Lee. (Applause.) I'll tell you a secret. General McClcliuu has re turned to the United S'ates with his carpet-bag (lauiibter), to stump the naUon for Horatio Sey mour. But bis fnemis are afraid ot him, because be cannot make up hi-, mind where he is going to speak. Tiie Democracy then slunk iuto their burrows, but they have veutured forth again. A few soldiers nud disappointed Republi can office-seekers have loined their parly under the name f the Democratic party why, that was dead many a day aso. Did General Jackson arise from his grave, he would cane Horatio Seymour for calling h uiself a Democrat. The party reminded bim of the old lady who bad a teakettle tbieo generations old, wbicb, not withstanding it had lost Its handle, muzzle, and bottom, she claimed was the same old tea pot. We are accused ot being vindictive. But this is a mistake. Mr. Doollttle, wbo Is talking eloquent falsehood and polished treason, asserts that we arc not a Christian people, and says that, as iu old Rome, we should make the in citizens, and add to the power of tbe Govern ment. Well, did we not try that? But they preferrtd to go to Mexico and South America. Vc cudeavored to rtstore them to goo 1 order and fellowship, but tailed. They style the Union man wbo goes South a carpet bagger. If they make much more opposition to carpet-bangers, we will march down therewith 500,000 carpet baggers, with knitting needles, and sew evsry one of tbem up in shrouds. We have beL'U too generous. H would have been better bad every one of tbem been swept Into the Atlantic Ocean. They deuouuee military tule, wben Congress has withdrawn nearly all the military 'rom the Southern Siate. and that too soon. W liarc been too tenlcut entirely. Wben we cot th9 Reoel down we ought to bave kept bim there until, with tearful eye, be should-have eaid, "Uncle Sam, let nie up, aud I'll behave myself." Tbe speaker then, in speaking of tbe finance of tbe country, said that a greenback was now worth sixty cents, but with tbe b6ue, as contemplated by Mr. Pendleton, of $1,000,000,000, it would be worth twenty cents worse than nothing. The people who call themselves Democrats, who hated us during the war, and now, because we crushed the Rebellion and destroyed the Democra'ic parly, now ask ns to loreet the past. Why, I would not give up the sweet recollection of a battle fought and victory won for all the happiness enjoyed by these miserable cowards during the war. An tietam, South Mountain, Getlysbjrir, Sherman's march to the sea, and Appomattox Court tiousa aieuauuhtto them but everything to u. We will tell these Southern people and their North ern allies that we will not forget the past, tan we lorget thit while we were at tho front there was a pitabie bond of traitors at home, who culled us Lincoln's bireliugs? No: we will march through the streets Horn now until November, nnd plant our ban r ers In their rowardly faces. The elec tion ot General Grunt will be a pledge to thoia who bave fought end tboio wbo remained at borne, ministering to tbe every want of tbe Boldicr, of protection und sympathy ot the Gov ernment ot the United Mates. To do this let m rally, with the enthusiasm that characterized us in the dug gone by, w hen we rodo and trampled down our foes, around tbe hero of the East an 1 Wst. Mav he not only be elected President of the Lnlted SiHtei, but live to lecelve tbo thanks of Lot oidy Ohio, h s birth place, and the great Northwest, bU reMd.nce, but of tho whole country, for which he bug done so much. The Central tUta rutirea ftoaia thuudew of General N. P. Cblrman then read the lollop ing a id r ess: Gratafnl to AlmlpMy God for belli? permitted to assemble In this sacred Sjt, we, tliu rniroseii. tivesoflhe survivors of the inilllonsof Union s il diers and Bailors who fought against treason In t!io recent wur, reverently renew our obligations to a rescued Republic and a purified Constitution. Gathering here in the great city pre-eminent among thoso communities distinguished for thtsir generosity and loyalty in tho darkest hours of our national troiibfeg, we do not como as partisans. We meet to prepare to discharge tho new duties de volved upon us In a new crisin more perilous than the conflict from which we have Just emerged, nnd to call upon our late comrades in arms to co-operate with us against our old adversaries. Inflamed by the same, passions, led by the same leaders, exulting In the sumo name, these adversa ries are now projectlnganotlicr conspiracy seeking to recover by violent and dishonorable nivans what they had lost in their resort to arms. We assemble In tho Interests of pence alono. 'We proposo no plans of war. Taught by our own titterings, and by the sacrifices ol our slaughtered brothers, we keenly appreciate, the value and tho nccess'ty of peace. Vc know that this great people, through all their Interest, long for repose, yet we cannot deny that the present peril of tho republic is even greater than it was in tho darkest hours of the rebellion. In such an emergency no Union soldier or sailor can hesitate. He w ill remember that Horatio Soy mnur is as ornphaf ically the lender of the new re bellion an Hubert K. Bee was of the old. He will re member that Horatio Seymour was nominated by a convention entirely controlled by tho officers nnd rolitlcians who plunged the country Into civil war. le will remember that the revolutionary part of the Democratic platform was devised and dictated by a rebel general as a condition of the rebel sup port to the Democratic party. Jle will remember that the Democratic leaders, now full of sympathy for the southern rebels, never contributed a dollar to the public treasury during the war; never denounced tho savage treatment of the I'nion people of the south or the Union prison ers of tho north, and never rejolcod over the tri umph of our arms. . He will remember that the blue uniform Is a badge of disgrace In the south, and that every Union soldier, from the general sent to execute the laws to tho private in tho ranks, has been and con tinues to be the object of tho Incessant assault and persecution of the rebel leaders. He will remem ber thRt, since tho nominations of Seymour and Blair, Union men have been assassinated by hun dreds in the southern States. But, while these memories arouse a righteous re sentment, there are others that inspire a noble grn titude. We feel that we are indebted to the Repub lican party for standing by us without flinching through all our perils aud privations; for voting us reinforcements and bounties, nnd lor conferring pensions upon tho widows andorphans of our fallen comrades; for organizing and controlling the great Sanitary and Christian Commissions, and a thou sand other noblo agencies of patriotic benevolence; for building cemeteries for tho illustrious dead; for relieving all branches of industry from taxation; for enforcing by constitutional prohibition the perpetual rejection of the rebel debt; lor conse crating by constitutional guaranty tho payment of our own national debt, including the pensions and bounties to our soldiers and sailors. But, more than all, for responding to our earnest appeal by nominating our beloved leader, General Ulysses S. Grant, as their candidate for President of the United States. In view, therefore, of theso hostile preparations for a new rebellion, with a profound sense of our obligations to our couutry and to the Republican party, we call upon every citizen who wore the Union blue, whether on land or sea, to cast his vote In the coming elections for tho Union State tickets and for Grant and Colfax. And further to mark aliko tho sincerity and the efliciency of our solemn declaration, we invoke our lato comrades In arms to set apart tho election day as a period of unremitting exertion and unceasing vigilance, and wo hereby formally announce that on tho 13th day of October next, in tho States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska, there shall be observed among our comrades a general holiday, and we call upon all employers, manufac turers, aud business men generally, to relieve their workmen on that day who have served In tho Union army, and thus assist in completing this patriotic purpose. Victory on the Uiili of October will be Sheridan's victory of Five Forks, marshaling the way to Grunt's transcendent triumph on the Apio inattox in November. General Thnycr's Speech. General Thayer, Senator from Nebraska, was the next speaker. He said he bad come from beyond the preat rivers to join in the great de monstration in behalf of a uatiou, sacred by tbe valor of the soldier from treason, nud in behalf of constitutional liberty, In favor of the reign of univeieal justice and universal freedom. He disclaimed the assertion of Eastern Copperhea Is that Nebraska would vote for Seymour and Blair. The speaker then dwelt a long time on the cause ol the war and the effects of the uu wise course pursued by President Johnton, and con cluded with a strong appeal to the soldiers a jd eailors to stand by tbeir old leaders, by whose election peace would reign over all the land. General Thomas L. Kane, of the northwestern part of the trtate, and Captain B. M. Dudley, of Virtinii, made powerful addresses, alter which the met ting adjourned with checis lor Giant nnd tolfax. SOUTHEASTERN STAND. At tbe stand erected in the southeastern cor ner of the Square, General Jidwurd Jardine, ot Jersey City, presided. Etoquent speeches were made by Lieutenant Lemuel C. Reeves, of New Jersey; General K. K. Cairington, of Washington; Geueral O. D. Wilson, Captain 8. Schlembaco, General J. W. Swei'zer, Colonel O. J. Dickey, and others. Tue speakers were loudly cheered, and their remarks enthusiastically received. TIIE SOUTHWESTERN STAND was organized by tbe election of Geueral Farns worth, of Illinois, as President, A large audience gathered around it to listen to the eloquent arguments of General Farnswortb, Governor Iiawley, of Connecticut, and others. POLITICAL. The Hon. V. B. Bmltbers, General Torbert and Dr. William C. Davidson are doing good service ou the stump in Delaware tor Grant and Cohax, A company of "Boja iu Bine" was organized In Watertown, Connecticut, a few days ago. Tbe company now comprises 125 members, and more are dally added. No chance lor Seymour and Blair there. John M. Langston addressed a larere meet ing of colored cittizens in Cuarleston, 8. C, on tie 23d instant. Tue Republicans tbero talk about South Cuioliua's giving 50,000 majority for Grant and Col lax. A large Grant 9ud Colfax meeting was held at Athens, Greene county, N. Y on the 23 I instant. The Grant and Colfax GuaTd of Hud son were present, 17a siroug. After tuo meeting there was a billliant torebbebt procession. Many dwellings were illuminated. A correspondent at Jontsboro, Ind., writes that ibe State Is eood for 10,000 Republican majority in October, allowing all that tho Democrats claim tor Ku-Klux importations. The Hon. Dunitl Pratt spoke at Juneeboroou tue Tia. The Ohio Stale Journal of lust Friday says: "The State is certain for the Republican ticket by not less thau 60,000 mujoriif, and we shall not be surprised it it goes up to 75,000. , The Democracy have long since given up a 1 ! hope of doing anything more than securing ' perhaps two Congressmen, aud even that is be- i coming extremely doubtful." The Pittsburg Gazette says: "The Repub lican majority for Hartranft and Cumpball, in the counties of Pennsylvania on the west sidoof tho Allegbenies, will not be. less than 15.000, and may mount to 18,000. Whatever it may bo it will be ubt about the Republican nulority iu the entire Stale, tbe eastern counties being balanced between tbe two parties." The Roches'er Express sajs: "We are re liably intormed that some forty or fiTty pounds ot candles were token l;om the Poor store, in Centre Market, to put iu tho Chinese lauterni cariied in the DeniocratiJ procession on Wednesday niyht. Prominent individuals of that party went to the Public Stores aud helped themselves to the candles without let or hin drance from the Poorniastcr." Tbe Mobile Jiegis'er exhorts Its disciples to dei.l with the white Republicans after this fash ion: "Ibcy ste dogs and tbould bo treated as dogs, dogs only toleralod now because the power ot the sword is in the bands of our enemies in Congress, but will not bs tolerated one hour after the people recover their liberty to do jus tice vpon their oppressors. It is the duty of every Southern mun to cut theue vermlu. fix cowuiumcuto tLctu; tpew tbem out us outcasts and social pariahs, wlta whom it is disgraceful to hold social Intercourse.' The. last number o! tbe Covington (la.) Mxamtner coctau s tbe announcement tbat "two cirfet-bag school teachers, Le and fla ninon 1." having "received a gentle admonition thtt their valuabl services might possibly ba more appre ciated in some other latitude, look an affection ate adieu of their associates, ani on Monday last turned their faces towards Mason and Dixon's Unc." This is a roundabout way of stating thai tbe Democrats of Covington threat ened to moD these persons If they did not leave tbe country. Their crime was teaching the c lored children the simplest rud'menU of education. This the CovlLfcton Democrats do not consider a legitimate avocttion."
