Many people are oouhned to their homes with this disease, and have been gWeu up to die wim the dropsey or jbeumutism, but this is an affection oi the kidneys, ihey may know this by feeling worse when having cold, and in this case the arm will have a very high color.

Tn Sir John Barrington’s “ Personal Sketches of his own Times,” there is an authentic account of one of the most re- markable occurrences we ever met with. A Mrs. O’Flaherty and a Mr. Lanegan, private tutor to her son, were arrested for the murder of her husband by poison.— The lady betrayed her accomplice and lied, and .Lanegan was tried, convicted and sentenced to be banged and quarter ed at Dublin, which sentence was carried into execution. And now comes the story: A Templar and a friend of mine, Mr. David Lander, a fat, good humored, su perstitious young fellow was sitting in bis lodgings, (Devereaux court, London,) one evening at twilight. I was with him and we were agreeably employed in eating strawberries and drinking Madei : ra. While chatting away in a cheer ful mood, and laughing loudly at some remark made by one of us, my back be ing toward the door, I perceived my friend’s color suddenly change; bis eyes seemed fixed .and ready to start out of bis head; his lips quivered convulsive ly; his teeth chattered; large drops of perspiration flowed down his forehead, and bis hair stood nearly erect. As I saw nothing calculated to excite these emotions, I naturally conceived my friend was seized with a fit, and rose to assist him. Ho did not regard my movements in the least, but seizing a knife which Jay on the table, with the gait of a palsied man retreated backward, his eyes still fixed on a distant part of the room, shivering and attempting to pray; but not at tho moment recollecting any prayer, he began to repeat tho catechism, thinking it the next best thing he could do, as “ What is your name? David Lau der! Who gavo you Umt unmo? My god-fathers and god-mothers, in my baptism !” &c. I instantly concluded the man was mad ; and turning about to go for some assistance, was myself not- a little sur prised at the sight of a tail, rough lookign personage, many days uushaved, in a 8 very shabby black dress, and altogether of the most uncouth appearance. The stranger and I stood for a moment, op posite each other, staring and motion less. At length he broke the silence, and addressing my friend.said,inalow croak ing voice—“ Don’t be frightened, Mr. Lander. Sure ’tis mo that’s here I” When Davy heard the voice he fell up on his knees, and subsequently flat on his face, in which position be lay mo tionless. The spectre, as I now began to imagine it was, stalked toward the door, and I was in hopes he intended to make his exile thereby ; instead of which, how ever, having deliberately shut and bolt ed it, he sat himself down in tho chair X hud previously occupied, with a counte nance nearly as full of horrors as that of Davy lu.nder himself. I was now totally bewildered; and scarce knowing what to do, was about to throw a jug of water over my friend, to revive in in if possible, wueu me strang er. in his croaking voice, cried— “ For the love of God, give me some of that, for I am perishing.” I hesitated but at length did so. He took tho jug arid drank immediately. My friend Davy now ventured to look up a-little, and perceiving that I was be coming familiar with the goblin, his courage somewhat revived, although his speech was still confused. He stammer ed, rose upon his knees, held up his hands as if in supplication, and gazed at the figure forsometime; butat last made up his mind that it was tangible and mortal. The effect of this decision on the face of Davy was as ludicrous as the fright had been. He* seemed quite ashamed of his former terror, aud affect ed to be stout as a lion, though it was visible he was not at. his ease. He uow roared out Into the broad cursing Kerry dialect—“ Why then, blood and thunder, is that you, Laueguu *?” “Ah, speak low I” said tho wretched being. “ How the devil,” roared Davy, “did you get your four, quarters stitched to gether again, after the hangman cut them off you at Stephen’s Green ?” . “All! Gentleman,” exclaimed the poor culprit, “ speak low. Have mercy on me; Master Davy; you know it was I that taught you Latin. I am starving to death!” “ You shall not die in that way, you villainous school-master 1” said Davy, pushing toward him a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine that stood on the table, but standing aloof himself, as though not unite decided as to the nature of the in- truder. ... The miserable creature having eaten the bread with avidity, and drank two or three glasses of wine, the lamp of life once more seemed to brighten up. __ After a pause he communicated every circum stance relating to bis sudden appearance before us. He confessed having brought the arsenic at the request of Mrs. O’Fluh- erty, and that he was aware ol the appli cation of it, but solemnly protested that it was she who seduced him. He then proceeded to inform us that after being duly hanged, the sheriff had delivered his body to his mother but not until the executioner had given a slight cut on each limb, just to save the law—which cuts bled profusely, and were probably the means of preserving his life. His mother, conceiving, that tho vital spark was not extinct, had him put into bed, dressed his wounded limbs, and rubbed his neck with hot vinegar. Having steadily purauedthls process and accom panying it by pouring warm brandy and water dawn his throat, in the course of an hour he was quite sensible, but ex perienced horrid pains for several weeks before his final recovery. His mother filled the cofflu he was brought home in with bricks, ami got some men to bury it the same night ip Kilmaluhatn burial ground, as if ashamed to later it in open day. For a long time l\e was unable to • looart. being every moment In fear of discovery. At length, however, he got on at. night in a smuggling boat, which lauded him on the Isle of Man, and from thence be contrived to reach London, bearing a letter from a priest at Kerry to another priest who had lived in the Bor- CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY. AUGUST 20,1868. ough, the purport of which was to get him admitted into a monastery in France. But finding the Southwark priest was dead, ho then wont to Scotland, using various disguises: and returning to Lon don, was afraid, though possessing sou’e little money sent him by his mother, even to buy food, for fear of detection: but recollecting that Mr. Lander, bis old scholar, lived somewhere near the Tem ple, he had been directed .by a porter to the lodging the night previous. My friend Davy, although be did not llke.it, suffered the poor devil to sit In the chamber until the following evening. He then procured him a place iu the night coacli to Rye, from whence he got to St. Vallery, and was received, as I afterwards learned, from a very grateful letter which he sent to Lauder, into the 'monastery of La Trappo, near Abbeville, where lie lived in strict seclusion, and died, I hear, some years since. WANTED AT THE CROSS ROADS. I wos in a hurry to reach home: No wonderi lor it was the wildest pigbt I bad ever known in all my life, and the country road over \ohioh I took-my way, was as had and as dark us country roads in general. Consequently I was walking at a great rate, with the collar of my coni over my ears, ami a comforter tied over my soft hat and under my chin, to keep it on and to protect my ears, when sud denly a man stood in my path, and caught me by the arm. “Hullo!” said he. “ You’re just in time. You are wanted at the Cross-roads lOiiilght!” / The voice was the voice of a ruffian. I fancied myself attacked by a high wayman. I stood quite still, and strove to show him by my manner that I was able to protect myself. “ What the deuce am I wanted at the Cross-roads for?” sa dI. Unless I choose it would be bard to get me there.” But instead of producing a pistol and demanding my money or life,.the man answered in an altered tone: "Beg pardon ! X made a mistake. I thought it was my brother, and wanted to frighten him. ‘ Bad night, sir!” " Very ?” said I. " You don’t know the time ?” he asked. " It was seven when X left the train at L I said. " Thank ye,” said the man.* " Good night I” If his object had been robbery, proba bly he had decided, from my rough muf flers, that I was too poor a man to be worth the trouble. But after all, I said, probably he spoke the truth. A man may have such a voice without* being a highwayman, no doubt. So I went-on homeward, and soon found myself under shelter, ami partak ing of a warm and savory supper. My mother was there my brother Ben. Ben was a great strapping iellow who could beat any other boy of his age for miles around, if it came to wrestling or boxing, and as good humored a boy us ever lived ; a boy always to mother and me, though he had exercised his right to vote already in one Presidential election. When supper was over and we had chatted an hour,wo went upstairs togeth er. We share one room. The moment Ben’s head touched the pillow he always went to sleep. That night 1 followed his example. But I did not sleep long without a dream—a dream in which I felt a rough grip on my arm and was roused by a cry in my ear. " Wake up! You’re wanted at the Cross-Roads ” It was so real, bo palpable, that whcn t I started broad awake I actually believed that sumo ono was lit the room ; iho man who had met me on the road perhaps, and who intended robbery or violence. — But when I had arisen and lit my lamp, the room was empty, except myself and Ben, lying and snoring on his pillow. I went to the door; it was locked; I went to the window; the rush of rain against the panes was all I beard. I even went across the passage to my mother’s room. She was awake; there had been no unusual sound she was sure. Only a dream born of my meeting with the strange man upon the road, I felt sure had awakened me. I went to bed and fell asleep again. Again I was awakened by the same words, shrieked in me ear by an unearthly voice. “ Wake up, wake up I You are want ed at the Cross-Roads.” , I was on my feet once more, and caught Ben’s hand as he came towards my bed. “ What alls you ?” he cried. “ Nothing,” said I. “ Did you hear a voice?” “ Yours,” said Ben, “.yelling wake up; you fairly frighiended me.” “ Ben”" said I, “ wait until I light the lamp, I heard another voice. There must be some one in the house or out side.” So I lit the lamp and wo searched In vain. “ Nightmare,” said Ben, when I told him my story. “Ben,” said I,' “ what la there at the Cross-Roads ?” “A house,” said Ben. Ho had lived In the neighborhood a long while, and I not long. “ One little house, besides two oak trees and a fence. An old man lives there, a rich old fellow, and a bit of a miser they say. His grand-daughter keeps house for him. “ Ben,” said I, “ that fellow may have meant harm to them. I may be wanted at the Cross-Roads.” “Brother,” said Ben, “go.to sleep.— You had a nightmare,” and Ben plung ed in between the blankets and was soon snoring again. I also, in ton minutes slept os soundly as before, but thoawakeningcame again. I opened my eyes to see a girl stand ing at the foot of. my bed. A girl in white robes with golden hair all about her shoulders, who wrung her hands and cried. “Ob', wake up, you are wanted at the Cross-Roads.” This time I started out of bed, bathed in a cold perspiration. I trembled like a leaf. I Had no doubt that I had re ceived supernatural warning. “Ben,” I cried, “Ben, for tbo third time I haverbeen told that I am wanted at the Cross-Roads, and I am going.” And I began to dress myself asspeedily as possible, listening awhile to the storm raging madder and wilder than at any other period since its commencement. Ben remonstrated.with me In vain. At last he also began to huddle on* his cloth es. “Ifyou have gone mad I must gd with you and take care of you,” he said. “But fancy another man, going in a storm like this to the Cross-Roads, be cause a nightmare advised him to do so, and what would you think of him ?” I said nothing. All I could have an swered would have been: “1 am impelled to go; I must go. I dare not refuse, whatever may be thought of me. ,11 In ten minutes we were splashing through mud and rain along the road. It was perfectly dark; eveiy now and then a red star iu the distance told ua that a lamp was gleaming through the rain in some cottage window, but otherwise we would not have been conscious of our proximity to any habitation whatever.— At last nearing the spot where the road from S crosses the road from P , we were indeed iu as solitary a place us could be imagined. The house which abutted on the very angle of the roads, called in familiar par lance the Cross-Roads, was the only one for some distance imeither direction, and certainly on such a night, we were not likely to meet many travelers. All was as silent as the grave. We stood quite still. In a moment Ben broke out in one of his wildest laughs. “Well,” he said, “how now? Will you go home and have another night mare?” , ' . , . But hardly had the words escaped his Ups when a shriek broke on the air, al *d a woman’s voice plainly coming from the interior of the oottage cried: “Help! help! help!” 11 Ben,” said I, “ we are wanted at the Cross-Roads,” and then, understanding each other, without more words we made our way to a window, through which a light shone. A muslin curtaiu draped the panes, through which we saw a ter rible sight. An old man lay upon the*floor, and over him bent a ruffian,. clutching his throat, and holding a pistol to his ear, whlle*au6thor man grasped a shrieking girl by the arm— : a girl in a flouting night dress—with such long golden hair ah be longed to the woman of my vision. Not a moment was to be Wasted. Ben flung his weight against the slen der lattice and crushed it in, and we hud grappled with the ruffians before they knew whence the attack came, or how many foes wore upon them. il do not intend to describe the struggle indeed X could not, if I would. were strong men. and inspired by the cries of the helpless old man and the terrified girl, wo boou hud one of the vil lains bound, and the other lying proatra ted'ou the floor. Then Ben started for assistance, and be fore morning both were in jail. Ben ad mitted as wo shook each other hy the hand, that we were “ wanted at the Cross- Roads.” The old man was not a miser, but ho had saved a few thousand for his old ago, and living more plainly than he needed to do, had given rise to the rumor, and so brought the burglars to .the Cross Roads in the hope of obtaining booty. The girl, a beautiful creature of seven teen, was his grand-daughter, and as no story is acceptable to the lady reader without a flavor of romance, I will tell them that she became In after years, nob my wife, but the wife of my darling brother Ben.

Say what the professional dema gogues will, in the interests of Black Republicanism, every day is making it more and more apparent that, inde pendently of ordinary political distinc tions, the masses of the people of this country are dividing into two great parties. These parties are: First, The Bondholders. ' Second, The Bondmen. Or, to put it in other shape: The Rag Barons’ Party, and The Party of Rags. Or to simplify it still more: Masters. Slaves. Now, this heartless, haughty and. all devouring party of bondholders, Rag Barons and white workingmens’ mas ters, in the main, made up of Army and Navy Contractors. Shoddy National Banks. High Tariff Sharks. ~ Big Bounty Swindlers. Advocates of Oppressive Taxation. Congressional Lobby Thieves. Whiskey Thieves. Wall Street Jobbers. . Speculating Treasury Agents, eiokl unmblers. The ill-gotten gains of these harpies are all represented in the National Del it. The burthen of that debt is borne, and must bo borne by The honest farmer. The hard working day laborer. The down-trodden mechanic. The starving artizan. The ill-paid clerk. ' ■ ■ The dwellers in tenement houses. Wo say the load which these classes, the Bone and Sinew of tho land, have had placed upon their backs must be borne; but we use the expression only in a qualified sense. It need not be borne unices the people thcniselves so wilt it. . What, then, are tho ways and means of emancipating ourselves form the load? What is the nearest and surest cut to the workingmen’s assertion —we do not merely say to his right of self ownership, but even to his right to live 9 We unhesitatingly answer: To sweep from existence at the ap proaching November election , the thieves and plunders’ party which is running- Grant for President. The thing can be done, wo are firmly per suaded,if the people—the wholepeople will but half try. The time for making thotrial, remember,is now. The people must open their eyes to the helpless and hopeless slavery which isinevita-: bly in store for them if these soulless Bag Barons and their confederate swin dlers and thieves manage to obtain an other four years’ control ol tho public exchequer. It is one of the tricks of the Bond holders to represent that the Demo cratic party are a party of repudiators; but the trick is one too transparent to deceive. The Democracy purpose to repudiate nothing but what is dishonest and fraudulent in its face. It is a fraud upon the people, and-it is a fraud upon the Constitution, to be having two, dif ferent kinds of money—gold for the government swindlers, and rags, noth ing but rags, for the sons of poverty and toil. The Democracy propose to do away with that unjust discrimina tion, to serve the government credi tors all alike, and to pay back the bondholders in the same kind of mon ey the government was obliged to re ceive from them. When the Black Republican orators, editors, and whip pers-in declare that that is dishonest, or that that is tell them they lie. - ... The laboring man to-day is paying as exhorbitant prices for everything he consumes as he did the first year of the wan and as long as tho thieves and plunderers’ party, now represented by Gnlnt and Colfax, are in power, he may rely upon it things will bo no bet ter. . , Just see how it works, even under our eyes and nose, right,here on-Man hattan Island I ~ , Brown stone fronts and marble pal aces multiplying on one line, and noth- ing but beastly, ten-story tenement houses on the other! Where are the substantial middle class, so to speak— that is, tho men of moderate means, 'who in tho good old Democratic gold and silver days used to live in comfor table dwellings of their own? Gone! Literally crushed out! Swallowed up by the Rag Barons’ Party, or drawn into the embraces of the Party op Bags! Go wheresoever wo will now, up town, down town, acres town—it Is all tho same. On either hand, the Palace or tho Hovel—the Very Rich and tho Miserably Poor—noth ing besides I Now, in tho monarchical countries, where * • the right divine of kings to govern wrong” is tho rule, tho people have to bow their necks to tho rod of the tyrant and tho oppres sor.- They cannot help them selves. But here tho people, if they will, can bo their own masters. They can, if they choose, put tho tyrant and the oppressor under their heel. Tho time is at hand when it rests with them to say whether they are pr» pared to ex ercise that will, or have ignobly made up their minds to live on, in and under tho meanest form of slavery—that is, shivery to a vulgar-minded aristocracy —to which a government of dema gogues—that is, such a government us we are now living under—ever ventur ed to set up. Grant, remember, is now the official embodiment of these task-masters.— Doom Grant to political death and tho entire horde of vampyres and ghouls that are preying upon labor and the interest of labor, die with him. The defeat of Grant is tho first£top to the equalization of tho public burthen. If he is made President, tho rich will be made richer and the poor poorer.— That is certain. To defeat Grant is to do something to bring back n gold and silver currency, and to reduce the cost of subsistence to a point, which will enable the poor man and Ills family to live. To defeat Grant is to upset specula tion, emancipate honest labor from the heartless grip of a dishonest paper mon ey oligarchy, and to restore tbo me chanic and workingman to the position ho is entitled to occupy in society. Free born, white American citizens cannot always be slaves. Are they not entitl ed to emancipation, at least, ns much as the ignorant, debased, fetish-wor shipping negro ? The defeat of grant means lower rents and higher'wages. Fewer taxes and cheaper bread. A chance for the mechanic to educate his children, and once more to buy Ins wife « new dress. It means all that, and a good deal more besides: It will compel the thieves and swind lers to take back seats! It will bring honest men and honest labor again to the front. It will .(stop the stealing at Washing-; ton. Economize the public ] Give one class no advantage ovqr «n- ; other class. . And “make every tub stand on its own bottom.’* —Metropolitan Record. WHAT Altrfhvi: CONTENDING FOR? We solemnly affirm that there is noth ing on earth more intimately connected with the private and public interests of every individual in this country than a full and just appreciation of the charac ter and vital results of the approaching contest. This is essential, not simply, as of old, to the formation of an intelli gent opinion and the proper discharge of the publicfunciionsof the citizen, but is necessary to the preservation of our liberty, our persons and our propertj', and to the safety of the Government, Which was established to secure these blessings. Believe us, this is not over drawn. It is a truth which cannot be too strongly told, nor too vigorously ac ted upon. It is not a political , but a governmen tal contest. It is not a conflict tho issue of which is to decide w/io will administer ernment, but it is a conflict to decide what sort of a Government is to be ad ministered. it is not a contest simply as to who shall be President; it is not a contest between men, nor even between opin ions and measures; but it is a coniliet oi idea» irreconcilably opposed to each other; it is a diro collision of two sys tems of government that can never move in the same sphere. It is not one of those light-hearted campaigns which look only to the BpoUs*, hero the black Hug is lilted, and. if Radicalism goes down, it falls like Lucifer, never to rise again. These aro propositions which, upon a moment’s reflection, must be patent to the plainest mind. And can it be pos sible that, feeling and appreciating these startling facts, one man in ten will hesitate as to his action ? We beg our readers to take these se rious facts to heart, and to scatter them broadcast around them. We repeat, the coining campaign is not a contest between Grant and our nominee, nor between Republicanism and Democracy ; it is a war to the knife* between constitutional government and arbitrary will; between the intelligent rule of the people governing themselves, and tlie grinding heel of a relentless despot, or the anarchy of a mob ; be tween the chaplet of a freeman and the shackles of a slave. judge you between the two, and go forth td plead and convince while the day is early and victory before us. Ask your neighbors whether the vile wretches who now dishonor the Gov ernment shall consuraate, our eternal ruin, or whether the honesty and patri otism, now driven to obscurity, shall borne forth lo save us?

Enthusiastic Gathering of His Friends \ SPEECH OF WELCOME AND THE SENATOR’S REPLY. Grand Procession, Mnslc. Fireworks, Torclillßlils, nnnncrs. Ac. Kacine, August, 18G8. No public man in the State of Wiscon sin ever received a more splendid ova tion than did Senator Doolittle, at Ills residence, on his return from Washing ton. At an early hour the people began to assemble on the public square. Me chanics by the scores, from their work shops ; fanners from their fields; mer chants from their stores ; carriages con tabling whole families, horsemen anil footmen by the hundreds—went to make up a scene of excitement ami enthusiasm never surpassed on an occasion of Un kind at Racine. Among those who join ed in the demonstration were semes of olllcers and privates, who had attested their love for the union upon many a hard fought and bloody battle-tieUl, hut wlm, on this occasion, a» earnestly join ed in thanking one who, in the Senate, has fought so bravely for the. same .con stitution ami the same union.' At eight o'clock the procession formed, led by the lion. N. D. Fratt, one of the Democratic electors. A four-horse team, with the hand, followed—the wagou decorated with Chinese lanterns, and hearing an elegant silken banner, upon which was an eagle holding the motto, “ The .Con stitution and the Union and beneath, in large letters, was emblazoned “ James U. Doolittle, welcome home.” Next fol lowing a large body, of mechanics and workingmen, two and two, hearing each a Chinese lantern. Carriages .(iu which ’were many ladies) followed iu great numbers, making a most brilliant and imposing procession; while hundreds followed on either side, —not heeding two miles of travel on foot, to do honor to their distinguished neighbor and friend. .On arriving at Senator Doolittle's, the spacious grounds surrounding his resi dence were found already well (illed, so that, with the arrival of the procession, the lawn .was literally packed. The pen pie surged and crowded toward the house, 'each person trying, In turn, to take the Senator by the hand, and thus, if no other way, show respect lor his public course. The gropntls wore deco rated with Chinese lanterns, .while hal loons and rockets went to make up a fine pyrotechnic display. The large as it is, barely snliiced to seat the ladies present: and at each window, looking out on tlie brilliant scene, fair faces add ed beauty to the picture. The banner being carried to the spacious hull, H. Q. Winslow, Esq., made an addiessof wel come, which was loudly applauded. He said; , mis. w«>si.mv'« speech. Senator Doolittle.— Your friends and neighbors, whom you see here as-' scrabled, wish to hid you a cordial wel come to your\homo. They wished to take you by thediaod, as a citizen of our beautiful city, bßund to us by the lies of Joint labors in every good word and work that go to make up the vital inter ests of a Christian 'community. They wished, sir, to signify to you their ap proval Of your manly, patriotic and statesmanlike course, in our national councils, during the perilous years of trial by open rebellion, and amidst tiro more subtle dangers of unconstitutional legislation. And for these purposes have they come hero this evening. During the momentous and exciting scenes of the past session of Congress, it bus ever been with just pride that we have seen our friend ami neighbor among the fore most of that noble hand of senators who were ever the true defenders of consti tutional liberty and law. When the mad hand of radical mis rule, regardless of vested rights and con stitutional guarantees, was laid with vio lence upon the sacred powers of sover eign States, and military despotisms as sumed the place of republican institu tions and laws in ten Bones of our Union, from you, sir, came sound and faithful expositions of the great doctrine of Slate rights-princlples without which our national government may readily be made a central, supreme distatorship.— When the scheme was completed, and the Slates ruled by gleaming bayonets, still there stood one grand and hopeful safeguard to personal liberty, in that pro tector of all our legal rights, the Supreme Corot Again the hand of party honor was stretched forth to crush the indepen dence of the judiciary, and with it to de stroy the last bulwark of freedom, in per son or property., in this republic. Again you did not fail to stand linn to the peo ple's. rights, and U> plead with prowor for the life of Mfis .great nation. For this, accept assurances .of our approval.— And, finally, when the .plot against our Institutions culminated ,Ip ;in attempt to denose the President,.for purtucm rea sons, and, through the long stftd weary weeks of trial, nothing but the patriot ism of the chief justice, and fi little .hand in the Senate, seemed to atpnfi heUq.’en our country and ruin, it was with liear.t fill satisfaction that we saw one of oqr. Senators standing firm for the Coiislllu-; tion, as it was made by tile wisest heads and truest hearts that have ever graced tlie annals of history; Nor can we, sir,- permit this interview to close without expressing to you that great gratification we felt at tlie-action ol ,our Wisconsin delegation in tlie National Democratic Convention. In presenting your name as the first chime of the Wisconsin i)e moeruey for the highest oltloa.Jn the gilt of the people, they have our..-.-ordial ap proval. But, “ Principles not .such,' be ing our mono, witli you, eiilier.-im leader nr comrade, we joyfully rally around the ■victorious standard oi "equal .righls in all ” in tlie coming contest. JinraLio Seymour, tlie statesman, tlie patriot, and the jurist, shall hear eur standard iJ -it; and Frank Blair, tlie soldier, tlie legisla tor and the scholar, shall nobly sustain him. With such leaders, on sucli a .plat form of principles as ours, we have .no fear of defeat by fair means. And muv, sir, once mere, in tlie nameof these, J'niii' friends and neighbors, I hid you lunee welcome in your happy, rural home, on the hanks of vour noble lake. SENATOR DOOLITTLE’S REPLY. Mr. Doolittle, in reply, us non a- tlio cheering had subsided, spoke as follows : Mv Friends—l cannot find language to express my grateful acknowledgments for this cordial greeting, and w the words of good cheer so eloquently spo ken Nor can I tell you how glad 1 am to escape the labors and tile summer heal of Washington, to sit down here in my own home,upon Iheshoreol Lake -Mich igan, among a people 1 have known and loved so well. (Cheers.) , (After some further remarks of a local nature in relation toßaciueas adelighful mor residence, ho continued:) During the seven teen years I have lived among vou, we have passed through great crisises in our national affair-. J will enumerate some of them. We have seen the repeal of the Missouri Compro mise ! the attempt to force s avery upon Kansas, against the will of her people: the dissolution of the Democratic c.mve - tlon at Charleston - ; the election ol -Mr. Lincoln; the rebellion, the at tempt to break up the Union, by the radiea'-, or m;c. s-iouists of the South; ■he stippress i in of that rebellion by arm-, at ■■■■ len ihle of life anil treasure. '■ e have s' ell; also the complete surreodcrand abolition id slavery by the South, and, also, of the rigid of secession. Wo have also seen the t»lan of paeiiieatioii proposed by air. ’Lincoln, and continued by Mr. Johnson, ■under the Constitution; and that other plan, proposed by Stevens and others, 1 outside the Constitution, called radical re eoustruclion. All these great questions I -have arisen within that brief period. Rotes for 3td»a:tisine.

With paramount force they have deman ded of every patriot an answer, the an swer of his reason, not of his passion ; t tie answer of. an enlightened conscience, not the answer of uuforgiving.hale or lust for political power; the answer of u statesman, not of n partisan, or of a dem agogue. Without denouncing the character or motives of those who may have differed with mo, from time to time, upon these great issues, 1 have. felt constrained to think, so speak, and to act upon them all. You remember how I opposed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the'at tempt of the Southern radicals to force negro slavery into Kansas against the wpl of her people, twelve years ago.— And when, live years later, the Radicals of the South plunged their States into rebellion, you know how earnestly I pleaded against it; how I urged my coun trymen, my sons and your sons and brothers, tofsustain the ilug of the Union and to maintain the supremacy of thu Constitution, until the last.rebel in arms surrendered. (Cheers.) But those issues are now among the past. They no longer divide men or par ties. And when, at length, the hour cumu that ti»e South surrenderedsecession, and, with it, the institution of slavery—the cause and occasion of the war—you know how, since tho war ceased, X have plead ed for peace, and for equal liberty, in the Union under the Constitution, for all tlie .States, and for all the people, Bast, West, North, South —not for peace with the bayonet at her breast —not for liberty with tho halter around her neck, a wait military trial, sentence and execution, under tho reconstruction acts of this Radi cal Congress; but for tho peace and that liberty which tho Constitution and tho Commom Law secure- tho only peace and the only liberty worth having in t his ago and iu this free land. (Great cheers.) It is not always that I-have been cheered this way here in Raciiie.'-- Vour know what denunciations havp been heaped upqii mo here and 'else where, for being true to my highest con victions of duty and patriotism. But I knew that ray vindication would one day come, os certain as God rules in tlie Heavens, and that His justice has not left the earth altogether. (Great cheering.) Every day confirms my opinion of the wisdom and Justice of the plan of pacifi cation proposed by Mr. Lincoln, and re newed by Mr. Johnson, more than three years ago. I have no more doubt than of Iny existence, If that plan and policy had been suffered to be carried out by Con gress, tiio States of the fcjoutb would have been fully reorganized upon the civilized white basis, and their representatives ad mitted three yours ago. There would have been a move perfect restoration of harmony and friendly feeling than is now possible for years. The Industry of Lite South would have been restored ; and. with restoration, its great markets would have been reopened to the manufacturers of the East, and to tho bread stuffs and provisions of the West. The exports of her cotton—better than all the mines of the mountains—would have changed in our favor the balance of trade. Our six per cent, bauds would have commanded a premium in gold In any money-centre of tho world. Specie payment, without shock or convulsion, would have resum ed itself. Our financial troubles would have been far easier of solution; our tax es less burdensome; and our credit so fully restored that a 4 per cent, bond would now command gold at par.— (Cheers.) Just about one year ago, my friends, I was at Frankfort-on-the-Muin, in Ger many. While there, our bonds bearing 0 per cent., sold at 73 in gold ; while thu bonds of Brazil bearing only 4 per cent., sold for more than DO in gold. This fact, which I have stated elsewhere, I, can never bring to mind without feeling my checks burn with shame and mortifica tion. Whylsit? Why is our credit lower than that of Brazil? It la because the radicals in Congress would have it so; because they would keep the Union di vided, and the South paralizod. They would not allow any pacification which did not disfranchise the most Intelligent whites, and force universal, unqalifled suffrage upon the moss of ignorant and half-civilized blacks; and upon the ground, openly avowed, not that they were lit to vote, hut that their votes could be used by the array and the Freedmen’s Bureau to carry those States for the Radi cal candidates in the next Presidential election. (Cheers,and cries, “Shame on such a policy.”) But it is said in Holy Writ, “ Ho that diggeth a pit shall fall in it;” and it may happen, as under the Providence of God often does happen, that this most unjust scheme of oppres sion, despotism, and barbarism will de stroy its authors. This deep, dark pit, thus dug by this Radical Congress, to se. cure the ends of party ambition, may be the very pit in which Radicalism is to perish, and be buried forever out of sight. (Great and prolonged cheering.) In Mississippi, Georgia, and in other States ot the South, the more civilized negroes shrink hack from that coilission with the white race to which all these Radical measures tend ; and they are by thou sands—in spite of the bureau, which has for a long time been a mere political en gine to array the blacks against the whites, and to elect Radicals to office uniting with the, civilized white-men, their old friends and masters, to save tile Bouth from a terrible war of races. There is now good reason to believe that one half of the electoral votes of these States, unless the army of the freedmeu's bureau direply interfere to prevent it, wTll be cast forßeyniour and Blair, the Democratic nominees. (Cheers.) All the States of tile Pacific; one certain, probably two, and fierhaps three, in New England; New YoVk, Pennsylvania, Ohio and In diana are morally certain ; while New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Ken tucky are with tis beyond contingency.— Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri and Minne sota we expect to carry ; and our friends in'Micbigan, and even in lowa, give us most cheering accounts and Inspiring hopes of victory there. " The ticket- placed in nomination In New York grows stronger every day, and. in my opinion,.will continue to do so until the great cause in which we are engaged shall achieve a great tiumph in November. (Great and prolonged cheer ing.) Again thanking you.for this cordi al gmeeting, I bid you welcome to my house and home. At the conclusion of the Senator's remarks, he received three hearty cheers, followed by the same for Seymour and- Blair. Altogether, it wa orie of the best demonstrations of Un kind ever tendered to a public man in the State. . Still More Snares.—A gentleman who arrived from the Triune recently with a few small snakes in his limits reports that two more immense snakes have been discovered in that afflicted lo cality. -Ho describes one of the pair as ninety feet in length and tlnee feet in circumference, and also it has lidins and hallows like a male cow (in the war path.
