THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHIL AD ELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1868. v EON. JOHN HICKMAN. Tt Academy or Jfuale rncUed with Ke pnbllrnnn IlnnUreds ITnnble to Gain AlinlMion-Imnine KnthaHlasm for drnnt isnd C'olfx A Brilliant Addreaa The Republican Tarty lis Intle and lis Destinies A Gratifying Ienionstra alon. The scene presented at tht Academy or Music last night wu one wall snlcnlated to fill every Republican heart with Joy and satisfaction. The appearance of thespaclons anditorlam Kara ample cvldenca of the overwhelming success of the Repabllsan ticket during the approaching political straggle, for never before was the edifice more packed with loyal citizens than It was last nlEht. Every nook and corner oontalned enthusiastic devotee at the shrine of Grant and Colfax, and the sea of human heads that greeted the eye from the stage was almoet bewllderling to behold. Hundreds who clamored anxiously for admission tvero doomed to disappointment, and had to return home without having their wishes gratitled. The oc casion waan address by John Ilickman.of Wost Chcs tor, on "The Republican party Its duty and its des tiny." It was a most eloqueut, logical and brilliant discourse, and tbe orgnments of the orator could not fall to carry conviction to any sceptic that might bo present. Tho stnfjo was filled with a large number or the most prominent lights of the Republican party and the vaBt audience was studded with the accepta ble presence of many of tbe fair sex, Tbe meeting was called to order about eight o'clock by Colonel John W. Forney, who read the following list of officers of the meeting, all of whom were unanimously elected : Trcsidcnt Thomas Webster. Vice Presidents George II. Boker, A. K.

The orator o( tbe evening, ' IIou. John Ilickmnn, Was then introduced, and he was received with pro longed applause. After some few Introductory words, referring to the Chairman of tho meeting, Mr. Hickman eoutinued: Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen: Allow me to thank you fur this high compliment for the favor that you do me; not that you are anxious to hear me, put that you are willing to hear me for tbe great cause that I advocate. (Applause.) Why are we hore? What has brought us together? What mean all these torches, banners, processions, illuminations and meet ings? Are we simply to understand that we are en gaged in a contest for ufllce, with its emoluments and its honors? If so, and there is no higher siciiitlcance, thru your struggles are in vain your coming hero is van. Hut I see by the Interest which yon show, by yonr Croat numbers, that you believe we are engaged in a jrreat contest. A great coutcst about wuatr About whut? Have you ever really and earnestly asked yourselves what it is we are about? We are trying to eave the natiun. (Applause.) It Is not to be dis guised, nnd I bejr here now to say that In any re marks I shall make to-night I have nothing to say which can be construed by any man as derogatory or unjust to the partv of the opposition or to any party at all. I am uoUhero fur that purpose. I am here lo advocate my cause, tho great cause of God and Immunity, to which yon and I have fervently de voted ourselves for tho last ten years. (Applause') There are two Boutimcnts or parties in the Uuitetl States, having two distinct aims. There is whur, Is Called the Republican purty, and there is what is called and how I regret it from tho bottom of my heart that it is so the Democratic party. (Laughter.) Cib ! how that name has been disgraced, anul I and others who have left that purty know it well. (Ap plauBe.) Two sentiments and two aims. I contend that no man can possibly bo in doubt ns to what ho ought to do in such an emergency as that in which we 11ml our selves now placed. I believe there is a chemistry which applies to politics ns well as there is a chemis try which applies to pliysics, and if you will apply this chemistry and analyze, you can find out just what the parties are made up of. I prefer to avoid all terms or severity and reproach, mid to designate one as the pijrty of truth and the other as the party of error; the on a tuu party of faith, the other as the party of distrust; i".he 0110 ,lg tno party relying implicitly upon the Mgtaer po-vO.1"01 'J19 dissemination ot eternal truth, and the other a "1 party opposed to that truth; the one as the party oi light, the other as the party of darkness; the one as the parly of fidelity, the other us t he party of treachery. All tlllC T It, A.l.wl.. n.,.1 nil .1.;! T V.ll I. ..II ' And if you were to put tome the au'' w'i',' h you thus describo tbe characM"'-- - ;".V ', lira Mr Ilirknimi nil-' ...UCS of thO tWO par- would BwJr i --'y0"0" BU thM 1 nnr tv " - "le!m thls:-That the Republican i ' .jr the last eight years, has been engaged In an ..iriicst, ardent, determined, night and day, ex haustive effort to save the country. (Applause.) Well, but what is to be the result ? Wh it is to b-3 thervsull? I tell you that I believe there is such a thing as destiny. And thai destiny is this: The op portunity afforded to do the opportunity to act the accession or nou-accesslon to that opportunity. In other words we make destiny. And when yon inquire from me what is to be the result of this great contest between conflicting parties, I answer you it is to be just what yon shall determine it shall be. (Applause.) If tbe liberty of the American nation shall ever be lost, it will be through the damnable perjury of the American people. (Applause.) If ever American liberty shall be saved, and I have nn abiding trust that it will be, forever, it will be through the greatest devotion, through tbe most ex treme sacrifice of the people of the nation. (Applause.) Now the subject oi my remarks to-night is destiny. I will explain to you what 1 understand by that word. No man of common intelligence is without a know ledge of the importance of the present political con test. It is impossible that he should be, and 1 will tell you why. Because everything that he is, every thing that he has, everything that be hones, is In volved; aud it is, therefore, impossible that lie should he without it. Why, the Pilgrims who landed here, I think in 1020, were in no wise constituted differently from ns. They bad by no means a more superior organism than ns. They did precisely what we wonld have done in similar circumstances. They earoe here to secure safety and repose; they came here for that purpose, but most unfortuualely for them, most ail fortunately for the lnlsresta of mankind, iu attempt ing to secure their rights, they admitted crime in the very constitution of their society. Slavery be came an organic part of the Pilgrim society. Well, ladies, gentlemen and fellow-citizens, I know perfectly well that it is understood iu Philadelphia and tbat is the reason I speak before you with the must extreme reluctance that it is almost Impossible to make a speech without bringing in the "uigger." Now, I am going to make a speech without a "nig ger" In It. But still the Pilgrims admitted tho insti tution of slavery, and sustained It, and they thereby made destiuy. Tho opportunity was afforded tbein of arresting tbe crime. They did not du it, but sup ported it, and thus made destiny. And then came the war of tho Revolution, and through what trials did we pass ; through what trials did uur Pilgrim father DUBS. The men who made destiny In the wrong met their penalty in the war uf the Itevulution. They were t Unity of the crime, 'for, afier the institution bad ieeu fastened upon them they did not make auy earnest effort to rid themselves of it. And then came of course they come revolts. Then what did they enfTcr? We would make an inquiry into what they did suffer, fur such an inquiry is necessary to the view of the subject I propose taking to-night. After seven years ot the most exnausimg war tbat the na linn ever endured we accomplished our indeoen. deuce, but still the principle of the worst form of slavery that ever exisieu upon iu iace oi tue eurtu ri.mnined. and then came the great revolt. We courted, we deninndedit by every act, we de clared that it should happeu. The grout war came upon us. I refer to the Southern secession, and we fell the penally of our crimes, fcgypt had her ten plagues, if I count aright; she had her blood, she had her mice, she had her frogs, she bad her murrain f her cattle, she bad her slaughtered innocent : aud so because we reamed to do aright we also were cursed with calamities. Our fathers and our brother were required to offer themselves upon the great i nii.ir of sacrifice : and oh. how we wept, our m..iiiur u-pnt. our sistors went, our daughters wept when we received the uewa from the battla-tluld uf hecatomb on becatouius oi sia:n. Yes, yes ; there is a marvel in the history of a nation M there la a ruarvei iu tue iuuitiuuu mo ui muu; and the marvel is this as we did not accede to the de mands of human liberty, as we violated human right, ho iuuf mum mxin ua. 'i'h ns w made our destiuy. Aud now you ask uie, in view of all these things, b,., hmi L- ii nun thn unit. What is to be tne future? .V'Jl,uow,X ttll you I ftuj lt J much disposed lo- nlclitto throw everything Ilka modesty aside an, admit what 1 never admitted before, and Isuppe never will admit again, that lama prophet and the son of a prophet. (Laughter. And I propose to tell yon what the future will be. Yon are Inquiring about the future, and lam talking About destiuy. Let us understand each other. Now I will not grope upon the npper snrf.tce in order to see whether I may not And the remains or a town, but I will take vou (lowu to tbe solid granite and meet yon there. When yon talk tome about taxa tion, abont the natioual debt, about the Interest or the debt, abont the Iteconptriictlon acts, I care nothing for them. They are trash, they are miserable trash. Will any man in ench times stop to consider such things as these when the national life is to be stabbed, If so, then all I have to sty Is, that yon are not or my kind. Yon don't belong to that one Dtmocratic party which Is for the country right or wrong. (Applause) That old Democrstic party was loyal and patriotic, bnt the Democratio party that yon present to-day is such tbat no honest msn can remain in It. (Applause.) Mr. Hlckmen then alluded to the parabie In Holy Writ about the rich man iu plenty, tearing down hia old barns, building larger, aud aayingto bis soul "be merry." lie applied it to the nation, and continued: If there is anything sound in Orthodox theology, God Almighty says to you In tones or thunder, Thou fool, the soul uf the nstion shall be required of thee. (Applause.) If there aro any here to-night to con template such nn appeal as that of the soul to the na tion, I cry, shame. This nation constitutes an Im mense part of the whole world, aud, therefore, liberty, embracing a fair proportion of the whole world, must be respected nnd esteemsd. 1 will appeal to.manhond, justice, sacrifice, the pn.re spirit of liberty, and Almighty God, for tho purity or my intentions. All questions which have been dis cussed say, shall the "national honor be preserved?" By the national Identity is meant the republican nation, and by the national houor is well understood the signi ficance. It is necessary to do right to accomplish right, and to do wrong is to accomplish wrong. I will uot stop to discuss there questions now. What da you care about taxation? The debt of the nation has been inenrred for the pnbllc good, nnd they are In justice bonnd to pay it. During a time of trial the Demo cracy resolved the nation should not be paid anil, therefore, they arc now in favor of not paying the in debtedness incurred during tl e war. The destruction of the Union wonld be unlverg.il destruction, and to this end the Democracy labor. I. This is what may be called radical, for it destroys the very fountains of life. They taunt ns with beinjj Kadieuls, but tboy un(li'rtaml not tho term as applied to the present state of tbe times. If the defense of hniusu rights, tbe maintenance of human law and tho preservation of human liberty constitute radicalism, then I am a Radical in the highest sense of the word. Radicalism is that which strikes at tho very root of life, aud therefore on that seoro our opponents are Radicals. They tried lo got cortain States out of the Union, and they did get them out as far as Appomat tox Court House, auu there they stopped. (Applause). Let us a (lord them another opportunity on the same question. I bad intended to say something about the preservation of tho natioual honor, but you must excuse me iu consequence of a want of strength. To uot redeem onr promises would bo a disgrace; bnt I cannot do justice to the subject. Nothing but a high sense of justice causes me to speak, and I now say if the Americans fail to pay their bonds thou their houor is surely vitiated. The Democrats favor repudiation of the public debt. I have respect for Mr. Pendleton, or Ohio, whom I know well, as much indeed as I have Tor General But ler, whom I never have known, on the great question of repudiation. The doctrine or having two curren cies, one for the " bloated bondholder," and the other for the poor man, is not. as claimed by the Democracy, a part uf the creed of the Republican party, for if it was I would leave it. 1 have heard it said by states men, that any man who lout his money to tho go vernment should have known better. ' They should have reaa the law," sav they, and then they would know that they could not tafely have given their money. No man, however "knows the law," excepting the man whu last determined what it was. (The speaker then gave some iaiighabiu illustrations of legal con trarieties, which were received with great applause). The Democrats are opposed to the preservation of the national honor, ero, they are in favor of tho destruc tion of the national life. I ask of you what will you do? Will yon make a destiny to slay yon and jour children, or destroy yon aud them? As you answer this question so shall the nation's future be. Do you suppose that Democrats and Copperheads have no feeling? Do yon think they will treat you with kindness if they get the reins of power? I warn you nut to trust them. I know a litllo fellow, five feet eight inches high, called "Un conditional Surrender" Grunt. I understand he has been nominated for tho Presidency. If that is true I promise to vote for him, as I think that will make for me a destiny of salvation. 1 have more confidence in the heart than I have in the head. I would, tlierelure, vote for Grant because he is all heart, all soul, and 1 !i?k no promises. When I think of such a typo of iniquity as Andrew Johnson, I cannot help thinking of the expressiou of Scnec : "Tiberius got drunk but unce iu his life, but then he remained drunk." I admire the man who after nn all-night study arises in the morning and says, "I will fight it out on this line all summer." And let the opponents of that man feel assured tbat that Hue will cuntiuue until thn successful end. I know this will be so, because I know what has already been done by the man who gave utterance to such sentiments. If you do the duty 1 desire, you will, on the morning after the contest, be satisfied with yoiir course, and coiucido with well known and applicable poetical sentiinouts (which the speaker commenced to recite, but which were par tially drowned bv the snontaueuus mnilana. i.r tim jmdieiice). POLITICAL. There can be no mistake about the spirit that antmates the L'opperiieadH, Love aud ad miration for treason mid traitors la proclaimed on every hand. The following is from the Tzo well Register, the Democratic organ of Tazewell county, luiQoiH. we commciMnw uoi,iBii' tiou oi ttie "Hoys iu Blue:" "What sort or He publicanlsra is that which would houor Gene rals Thomas, Btitridan, and Meade, and degrade Generals Forrest aud iiamptou?

They are worth all ine bureaus, anu cipeiungs, auu negro militia, suu tax cuntcwjrti, mnu petty military lyrauiw, and greasy contractors, and fat bondholders, tbat a corrupt (JougreHS can manufacture be tween tnis and doomsday." The Providence Journal has this: "We do not Join In the clamor against General Kose crans lor staying at home, aitemping negotia tions with Rebel leaders, and writing letters to Democratio Conventions, while the mission to which he has been appointed, one of tbe most important under the Government, remains la ouurge.oi tne (secretary or legation, on ine contrary, we are uleaNed that ine General has taken lo politics, lu which he does more harm to bis side tban to ours; and if he cannot serve the country In Mexico, better than he does bis party ai homo, we hope be will not enter upon the dinlomutlo duties, at least, till after the election." A crusty old Rebel, standing In front of the Planters' House, Ht. Louis, the other night, as a procession passed, was asked by a stranger "Who are these?" lie replied, "Radical ran cais; one good company would whip ine whole loll" xne stranger canniy answered, "xouare mibtaken.

The reformatory for criminal boys, origi nally established in Bonthwark, London, was removed some years ago to Red Hill, and plaoed on a farm. Here boys oonvioted of crime are kept at work three to five years, chiefly in agrioulture, and then are sent to the colonies. The suooess of the institution ap pears qnite remarkable, according to the fol lowing . statement, condensed from a reoent English Journal: "There are two hundred and seventy boys on the farm, and their occupations are In the field, the cow-honse, sheep-fold, stable, garden, brick-field, tailors' shop, laundry, kitohen, and house generally. Some are taught to be carpenters, blacksmiths, bakers, and brlok layers. Emigration is the great attraction to them at the expiration of their term, and the chaplain can show a heap of letters front former pupils that ought to encourage them in his work, and sustain the Committee in their efforts to provide the expenses that the industrial training and ultimate disposal of the boys make absolutely neoessary. Some of the boys make capital agriculturists, thanks to the experience and patience of Mr. Biloliffe, the bailiff. The farm consists of 300 acres of freehold land, and the lads enter eagerly into the tending of stock (the farm keeps thirty cows, besides sheep and pigs), the making of butter and the raising of produoe. A few facts will speak volumes for the institution. During the last nineteen years 2028 boys have been admitted, and 1750' discharged. Of these 840 emigrated. Sinoe the last harvest-home the unusually large number of 102 were admitted, but the good conduct has been uuexampted, and the punishments and desertions remark ably few; 91 have left during the year, and 6 of them at once, by the aid of the society, emi grated to the Canadas. The cheering state ment is recorded that eighty-nine per cent, of the lads live honestly, and that a large pro portion work themselves into respectable posi tions in life." Mountain Climbing In tho Caucasus. Referring to the late ascent by three Eng lishmen of the Elbrus and Kasbeck mountains, in the Caucasus, a German paper remarks that it is a mistake to suppose these moun tains were then ascended for the first time. In 1829 Adolf Kupfler, the mineralogist' K. A. Meyer, the botanist, and other philosophers, were sent on a scientific mission into the Cau casus by the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg, and ascended Elbrus with some Circassian guides. The history of this expe dition is given in Kupfier's "Voyage dans les Environs da Mont Elbrouz dans le Caucaae, entrepris par ordre de sa Majesty l'Etnpereur en 1829. Rapport fait a l'Aoad. Imp. des Sciences de St. Petersbourg," St. Pet., 4to., 1830; and also in Klaproth's "ts'ouveau Jour nal Asiatique" for January, 1831, No. 37. As for Kasbeck, it was ascended by the geogra pher Moritz Wagner, brother of Rudolph Wagner, about the year 1844. The same paper desoribes the central ridge of the Cau casus as a huge mass of black porphyry specked with white, its summit forming a vast plateau from eight to ten thousand feet high, which stretches for several miles from east to west, with deep valleys on both sides, and a narrow ridge covered with eternal snow running along the whole of its length. About the middle of this ridge is a very wide but not deep chasm, out of the centre of which rises a bold peak almost entirely covered with snow. This is the Elbrus, called by the native Al bordeh (a watershed).
