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.

Cajids, HAjfnnjLm, Cmcui.AJts, and every oth er description ol Jon and Card Printing execu ted In the neatest stylo, at. low prices. 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. A box is being constructed for his capture, aud it Is to be made wholly of Tennessee iron, which was never known to burst either in boilers or boxes.— Wcut- I'ille Gazette. • £-jy- (Twould be odd to roe a lobster smoking a cigar, or a toad chewing to-’ bacco; hut to see ah editor at ease with himself and all the world and up to his knees in.prosperity, would be still more strange. The Radicals established a “Bureau” lor the maintenance of la/.y, idle negroes. Instead of giving any support to the poor white - men of the country, they load them down.witli taxes.
