FIBST EDITION THE PRESIDENCY Republican Mass Meeting at the Cooper Institute, New York An Address by Attorney General Brewster, of Pennsylvania. Another monster meet! ns wax held last night at the Cooper Institute. New York, under tne auspices of ttie Union Republican Presidential Uainpalgn Club, tne Central Oram Club, and the Urlswold and Cornell Central Campaign Club. Tne ball was beautifully decorated with lings and mottoes, and a larger number of ladles graced ibe scene by tbelr presence than was ever seen before at a political meeting in tne hall. The llnu. (ierrlt Snillb, the Hon. Benja min Harris Brewster (the Attorney General of Pennsylvania), and tne Rev. Mr. Ives, of New York, were speakers. The Uon. Tnomas Mur phy railed the meeting to order, and the Hon. Charles 8. Bpeucer Introduced as the drt speaker the Hon. Gerrlt Hmllb. Mr. Bmltu HKike at length, and was followed by Mr. Brewster. Speech or Attorncy-Oencrnl Brewster. Mr. Brewster was introduced by Mr. Andrews at the Attorney-General of Penusylvanla. and was received with a storm ol applause. At the tnsgeslicn ol Mr. Bpeucer the audience rose and gave three tremendous, cheers lor Republi can Pennsylvania. Af er Tendering his thanks for the hearty reception he too met with, Mr. Brewster said: I am not accustomed, it is not the habit of my lite, to address assemblages like these. I am not a politician, and hardly a public niao, for the station which I hold is purely a professional one, and the occupation and pursuit ot my Ufa USB been luai Ol a proiesHionai uiau, kuu wubu. ever I have been tempted from a sense of duty to come out occasionally, as I have done now to such places, and I listen to addresses dellv ered by those who are acoustomed to address assemblages for suoh purposes, and bear them explain the Issues and enlarge upon the argu ments and appeal to the people, I always feel my own shortcomings, and how Incapable I am ot meeliDg anything like tbe ex pectations that a large body of people have a Tight to demand at the hands of any one who shall presume to come before them and ask their attention. After what you have beard from Mr. Bmltn to night, I do not know Indeed what I could say to entertain or Instruct you, and probably that which I should first do would be to direct your attention for the purpose of instructing you upon a subject about which you are not very well Informed, and about which I may be sup posed to know something, and that is the con dition and prospects of tbe Republican party In Pennsylvania. (Applause.) Tne recent canvass In Pennsylvania was one In whlou I took part; a subordinate part. It Is true, but still a part. As Boon as the campaign began for by a kind of practical misnomer we call these political canvasses "campaigns," as If they were war as soon as the campaign be gan men of note and standing in the party resolved that we should scatter ourselves over tbe State of Pennsylvania, and seek, not only by addressing tbe people as you are ad dressed here, but by personal appeals to those who commanded the different districts of the Btate the leaders of tbe Repnblioan party in the different districts of the Btate to stimulate tbelr tense ol duty. For one, with others, I went tbrongball the eastern end of the Btate, through all the northern tier of counties, along the western border, and tbrough tbe centre of tne Btate, and there I learned mat which I was glad to convey as Information to you people of New York, who needed It of all other people in the nation, that Pennsylvania was sound (cheers), and that on tbe second Tuesday of Oo tober sne would respond to tbe Republican party as she responded to the call of her oountry when Fort Bumter was fired on. (Loud cheers). The Republican party of Pennsylvania has a hittory ot its own. I was a Democrat, but, thank God, I will never again be a Democrat (ap plause). fori hold that man an enemy of the human race who would identify himself with the Democratic party after It has lilted its parricidal band against the life of its oountry. I call that man an enemy of the human raoe who would attach himself in full communion with the Democratic party, when he recognizes In it the strongest and only ally or reoeldom In arms against humanity and human liberty. (Loud cheers.) I say the Republican party la the Btate of Pennsylvania has a peculiar his tory. AH tne strongholds of the Republican party at this day were once the only strongholds of the old Democratic party in its proudest days and glory. The whole of tue eastern tier ot counties, and the whole of the northern tier of counties, were once the very citadel of the Democratic party, and in those counties those northern counties began through Wll mot's help and by Wllmot's assistance the teach ing of those doctrines once called Free Boll and now called Republican, which revolutionized the Btate and carried it over, now and forever, to tbe cause of Republican liberty in this country. (Cheers.) After the Whig party in the oity of Pnlladelpbla had been broken up by the destruction of the old city proper for the city of Philadelphia, as it was originally char tertdand established byPenn, was a small corporation within the limits of what the world - at large understood to be the City of Pnlladel pbla, a very close and narrow corporation, consisting ol but a few wards-after that was united, the whole into one grand metropolis, one great municipality, the old Whig party, as It was called, passed away, and then began a kind ot scramble. We bad tbe Know-Nothing party, we had tbe Native American party, we bad tbe People's party, we bad the divided Democratic party, and we had the Abo lition parly, and out of, all this grew vp gradually . a party called the Repub lican party. And they siood firm, and gradually, as Mr, Bmlth can say, they came to ttlm. Tne Whigs, some of them, went with the Democrats. Free-Boll and free-thinking Demo crats went with the Abolitionists. The Native Americans and the Know-Nothings, and all tbe various divisions united, and onto! them grew the great Republican party. And this party, constituted as all such parties most be neons riiv. hins a new Darty. passed into the hands or new men; and, to the surprise of others, the ujr.nhiirun tiartv sweDt everything before It in tbe Blaie of Pennsylvania, and the Democratic parly began to see ine signs or dissolution nun rUlU. Al lUHJUUUbUi. Uft m maow. j wuw vw publican party in our Btate Rebellion broke out prm leaders of the Republican parly In Pnlla delpbla at that time were men who, up to mat period, bad been hardly known in publlo lire, bung nf thm were very obscure persons. Tbe body of tbe people of the Slate of Ttannsvlvsnia. particularly in tbe city of fhtiarlelrmla. to whloh. for tbe present expiana tlcD. 1 suall confine myself, the body of the people in the city of Pnlladelpbla were actu ated by a sense of duty to tbelr country, and did not 10OK too auwuj into tue orgauizatiuu or tbe fitness of tbe men who bad organized Um Republican parly. What they wanted was not ofnoe or place, not power, but a patriotic enforcement of tbe law of theland, that they h.oo. & nmirurv Dreserved to them. a i.nianse.) And so, during the war, theRepab i.P'ffin mrin v of Philadelphia was in ihe bands of men. many of whom abused the . . nenerously bestowed OlliUUtULV ituMw " - . .1 . . . i . tmon Ihem. But oy-anu-Dy iu w vuuou. 2nd then the Republican party, true to that whloh seems to have been the moral prlnolple of its existence-end a moral principle wnfoh alone has distinguished it above all other parlies known in the history of this country-eald: . ... .s,nniM nominations tuat " w "."J. force ot discipline, and re.u" ".Tr.rr am of oatrlotlsm. vote for bad men." and the consequence was. to i the iter amaaement of a great many Republl ?0'lf;mf the ceuntry. that Phlladel- Shi! went over to the Demooratlo party, and S,.eWmtd to have been lost forever. Now that which was but a moral rebuke, a punishment TnflioUd by independent, patriotic men. and in inujoitu mjt ooourred In the y unnremaov. beoause tiers, visiting upon them a penalty of excommunication tbat was almost as terrible to tbe political man who sought to assert his independence as wss tbe power of excommuni cation declared by the Church of Rome against heretics and schismatics, in the history of the Democratic parly, and in tbe days of its pride and power, do man belonging to it who hoped for publlo promotion dareu to bave an indepen dent opinion lor bimself. (Applause.) It he did, upon bis bead was vlfcited a political punish ment that sent bim into political btulHoment for ever. Bnt It walnut so, nor is It so, in tbe Republican party. That parly, In the city of Philadelphia, as in the Btate at large, dared, In lis rank and file, to speak out independently (gainst the views of lis Impure leaders, and to punlth its bad ones. (Applause.) It was be cause of this, ladles and gentlemen, that here In New York and elsewhere the organization of the Republican party in Pennsylvania was not understood; and it was because of these defeats which we had dared to buffer, you not under standing or appreciating tue case, that you supposed Pennsylvania was in doubt. Bat let me tell you, there never was an hour since Ulysses 8. Grant was nominated for the Presi dency of tbe United states (applause), that there was a doubt in the minds of true Repub licans that be would sweep the Btate of Penn sylvania, by the force of bis nomination, both in October, as well as in Novemoer. (Loud cheers.) Why, therein is another evidence of the dignity, the purity, and the high moral f rlnclple that Is a part of the very soul of tne tepublican party. General Grant was nomi nated by the people of tbe Republic in parly, la spite of the politicians. (Ap plause.) And it is tbe only lnstanoe In me history of this country, since its ornani.ttlun, that the people have really bad a voice in the nomination of a roan tbey meant to elect. (Great applause.) Where would we have bean without Ulysses Grant? Where would the Re publican party have been tbis day without Ulysses Grant? We were leaning nponaman who bad been busily endeavoring to sell his body and his soul, and to sell the very soul of bis parly and its principles to tbe Demooratlo party. (Cheers.) Ho was tbe girt of Almighty God to tbe country during a bloody war, as he is now tbe gilt of Almighty God to tbe Republi can party in tbis civil strife that we are now In. After speaking long and eloquently upon the subject of slavery, and how its abolition was brought about, Mr. Brewster continued: In Philadelphia we built a stately edifice, almost as beautiful as this, and In tbe cause of human liberty. The friends of human liberty then were Abolitionists. They built a house like tbis where white men and while women might meet together, as we meet together to talk over it, and excited puono sentiment Dy appealing to public judgment, to getapoDular verdict in Congress. And oh, shame I in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, they burned that house Northern De mocrats, Instigated by Southern men, burned It to ashes. Wliodegraded tbe white man North to tbe level of the black man 1 (Applause.) Where was liberty of conscience? where was the right of private judgment? wnere was iioeny oi speech? Where was the liberty of press when such things could be? And that not at tbe Bouih, but upon our sacred soli yes, before God more sacred than every inch of ground from the Poto- niao down to me uuir or Mexico. (Applause.; Upon our sacred soil of Pennsylvania, I say tbey came and tried to enslave tbe white men of the North. You addressed them in public here at tbe North. You bave told how you were pelted, and abused, and enslaved. Where was the liberty of speech men ? where the rlgut of private Judgment and the liberty of con science? Even within a few montbs prior to tbe Rebellion, Mr. uurtts, i mink it was, rrom Boston, came to Philadelphia to address an au dience of ladies and gentlemen, as I have come here to night, and they assembled, as you bave assembled bere. A riotous mob, aided by Boulbern students of medicine, with a mass or oiner vagaoonos, couecteu out side of the building, and he was obliged to do wbai? In Philadelphia, in a free land, did he deliver his speech? No: he was turned out of tbe room, tbe house was closed, the people separated by back-doors and by-ways to pre. vent what? B'oodsbedl And that they called tbe liberty of tbe white manl (Applause.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have consumed much more or your time muni intenueu to-mgut. (Cries of "Goon.") One moment and lam done. 1 bave simply 10 say mis to you. a gentleman told me some time ago that General Grant had said tbis, and I believed be said it, and it should be written In letters of gold. If they ask what are Grant's principles and what he wishes to carry, write this and band it to them. He said: "This ranch I wish and this I declare to be my policy that I hope to live to see the day when such peace and tranquillity shall be established In this country that a man may speak bis sentimens, no matter what they be, wbetber it be in California or in Maine, in Florida or Oregon, without molestation or hin drance." (Great applause. ) Now, there we are. Let ns take the preamble of tbe Constitution, and say, when we are asked what is it that the Republican party wants, "To establish Justice, to insure domestlo tranquillity, to provide for the common defense, to promote tne general welfare, and" above all "to secure the bene- Ills of liberty to ourselves ana our posterity forever." These are principles of tneRepuoll can party. (Immense applause.) FRANTIC APPEALS. Angnst Belmont, TUtlen, and Blair unite In j'.utremiiiMr me wcuiuirnij i lii at u KteadluMt. APPEAL OF AUGUST BELMONT. New York. Oct. 20. Fellow-Citizens: It is a nriviieuH and a duty to address you on the eve of the treat battle which we are to num. and wblcb is to decide wnemer me uovernmenti oi this Republic la to remain lour years more in the hands of the radical party, or whether by an eneritettc, nnlted, and last eff ort you will wrest tbe power from it grasp, and give to ns, under a Democratic conservative auuiiaisirauoB, a government based upon principles or justice, economy, and constitutional liberty. Tbe issues or tne present campaign are piain and self-evident. They appeal to the intelli gence and patriotism of every voter in the most unmistakable terms. They bave been ablv discussed by oistinguisnea orators ana leaders of our party since the nomination of our canaiaates. , What the Democratic party Intends to do. If placed in power by your suffrages, Is to restore peace anu aoiua LU uui ouuuirjr. w uvm iua wounds and sufferings caused by tbe Rebellion, to give to the people of theBonth the right to which they are entitled under the Constitu tion, and by whloh alone we can Dring naok i prosperity and quiet to that distracted section: to rednce materially our military and naval establishments, kept up now on an Immense scale and at an enormous cost; to introduce into every department or Government me strictest economy, and to develop, by an equitable system ot imports and taxation, trie growing resources oi our country, and tuns to place the Federal finances on a solid and stable footing, and to pave the way to a gradual and sate return to specie payments, we are charged by tbe radi cal party me party oi violence ana usurpa tion, which for tbe last four years, to prolong its own existence, has set at naught the Consti tution and the fundamental principles or our Government that we intend revolution, and defiance ot established laws. The aocusatlon is unfounded and absurd. It cannot be enter tained for a moment by an intelligent voter. who has even tbe most superficial knowledge of tbe history of his country. The Demooratlo party can prouaiy point to every page or its record. It has never violated a single obliga tion or the runuameniai compact by which these United States en term into me jainny oi uatious. its watchwerd, In peace as In war, has been and win always be, me union, tne uonstituiion, and tbe laws. And no man, nor any sec of men, however high they might be placed by the sutlrsgesof tbelr fellow-citizens, can expect to receive the Upport of this great conservative parly in any revolutionary attempt against established law. The ballot-box and the su preme will of the American people are the only means of redress v whloh we look. Fellow DeinocraU, yon are toting for a good and righteous cause. You hVe for your leader a tried slatesmaa; a patru who Blood by the Union In its darkest hour; maa equally be loved for tbe purity of bis private character as honored lor his publlo virtues.

To the Democracy of tbe Btate of New York: Tne results of the October elections demonstrate the fnot that large accessions to the Democratic party have been made since the last Congressional election, in lHtiS. In Indiana we have rednoed- tbe Rnpabllcan mfjority from 11,618 to a doubtful claim of 800 majority. We bave done this on the largest aggregate vote ever given in that Btate, and in wnat Bcliuyler Colfx confesses to be "the se verest political contestever fought In Indiana." Kven by tbe showing of the Republicans, a fur ther change of one vote la 750 of one-elnhth of one per cent would have completed a polltloil revolution. We have also gained one member of Ccbars, and perhaps two. In Pennsylvania we have rednoed the Re publican majority in ls0 about one-half. A further change of one vote in 140 would have given as a complete victory in tbat great Com monwealth. We have done thia in spile of vast patronage and means of corruption, syste matic frauds, skilfully organized by the best mssttrs in tbat art, and in spite of the unjust exclusion or tbe votes of citizens or Irish ana German birth by a party which claims the sufl'rege for tbe negro as a natural and sacred right, and practically gives him supremacy over the white man in a large portion of the Republic. We bave also gained Beveral mem bers of Cocgrexs. In Ohio, In the Congressional election Just held, we bave reduced the Republican majo rity more than one-hJf from 40, 00J to 15,000 from Ibe Congressional election of 18lili, and bave gained three members of Congress. Never has the Indomitable sptrK and herolo energy of the Demooratlo party been more nobly manifested. You have driven in tbe Republicans to their baft gage-wagons. You have almost routed tbem. Fellow-Democrats! Is this a moment for doubt as to what you ought to do? Is it a mo. ment In which even to be counting the chances of the struggle to whloh we are advanoln?? We know tbat we will deserve victory. We will resolve to attain it. Fellow-citizens, It is a false calumny that we desire to ovei throw the pernicious systems of our adversaries tbelr government, by force or by fraud, in tbe Southern Btates, their supre macy of the negro over the white citizen by any bnt tbe peaceful remedy ot the ballot-box. We resist by peaceful and lawful measures the practical revolution which the Republicans are gradually accomplishing. We and our candi dates ate pledged to restore and not to destroy the Republic. Fellow-Demoora's of New York, we call oh you to make a grand and final rally. Your standard-bearer in the national contest, who would gladly have laid down the honor of a victory already achieved, advances to the fore front of tbe battle. We appeal to tbe 400,009 Democrats of New York one and all to gather around him. Our example will animate to new vigor our comrades in other Btates. Two and a half millions of Democrats, under our chosen leaders, with our organizations unbroken, with our masses compact, with our old and honored Hag floating proudly over us, will Join in our final and, we truBt, victorious struggle for con stitutional government and civil liberty.

Cbttricr.- Fokt Bandkhs, Wyoming Territory, August 21. 1808. To Mr. James Howes, Lafayette, Iud. Dear Bit: I bave received your letter in which you ssk me If I would endeavor to have tbe constitutionality of tbe Reconstruction aota testtd by the Bupreme Court before proceeding to treat tbem as null and void. In answer I say tbat the vital principle of the Reconstruc tion acta baa already been decided to be a norm - siltutlonal, null, and void by the Bupreme Court, the whole Bench concurring In the case of Mlillgan and Bowles, wblcb went up from tbe Btate of Indiana on a writ ef habeas corpus. In tbat case it was decided, in tbe plain lan guspeof tbe Constli utlon, that tbe Government could not establish martial law in time of peace or try a citizen by military commission or court-martial. The reconstruction acta, so called, stand on martial law and nothing else. It Is tbe essence of these acts. Tbey were pre pared and put in execution in time of profound peace, In defiance of the unanimous decision of the Bupreme Court, to which I have referred, and tbey and all that has been done under them are null and void. A case was made nnder these acts the case of McArdle, of Mississippi and brought before tbe Bupreme Court, and it is well known that the Court was ready to declare these acts un constitutional, when Congress passed another act to deprive the Bupreme Court of its Juris diction, and openly attempted to intimidate the Judges by threats of remodelling the Court. The Bupreme Court, in another case that of cummings, or Missouri ueoided mat me dis franchisement of the white people of the Southern Btates by an aot of Congress was a bill oi attainder and an ex pott facto law, both of wnicn were ioroiuaen in express terms by me Constitution. Kven the radicals admit, in their Chicago platform, tbat tbe Btates alone have tbe right to decide who shall be entitled to suf frage within the Btates; and yet Congress has assumed to take the right from the white people end give it to the negroes within the Southern Btates. The Reconstruction acts violate the Constitu tion in all these particulars, and it has been already so decided by tbe Bupreme Court. Tbe Constitntloa says the military shall always be acts bave superseded all civil authority, and erected military governments at the South. Do you want a decision of tbe Bupreme Court to show that this is unconstitutional? Are those who sav that the military is subordinate to the military authority revolutionists ? Are those who demand the restoration of the trial by tury, which has been suppressed in tbe South iv tbe Reconstruction acts, revolutionists? Are those who claim the benefit of the great writ or rignt. me babeas corpus.wnion is denied to eight millions of our people by tbe infamous Reconstruction acts, to be branded aa revolu- UOniSIBT Shall we be called revolutionists because we proclaim, in the very lanuuaee of tbe Constitu tion, that Congress shall pasa no bill of attain der or ex post facto law ? or shall we be thus branded for claiming wbat the Constitution ooncedeB in express words that the States shall regulate suffrage for themselves? Do we want more decisions of tbe Supreme Court on these points ? Tbe truth is that the radicals are the real revolutionists, and nave subverted the fundamental principles of our Government and converted it into a mean and malignant oiigarcny.Bure to relapse into a military despotism. To restore tbe Government and the great guarantees or rreeaom coniainea in me cousu lutlon and inherited from our ancestors is "revolution." To execute tbe will of the people. whom tbe iragmentary Rump Congress has put at denance, is "revolution." To carry out the decisions of the Bupreme Court is "revolution." This revolution Is at hand. Tbe people's will, the Judgment of tbe court of the highest Juris diction, will be enforced against a usurping Romp Congress. 1 am, most respectfully, your obedient servant.
