fore the public a perfect cure for the same. The
following are evidences oi the it Idneya being af

wheii walking..stau ding, or lying too long, es

followed by a distress In the sides, stiffness and

matio pains. 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

HCJUniCABIiE ESCAPE FROM THE
OALMMVS.
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.

WORDS TO WORKIKOMEIf.
Only Two Parties In this Country Now
—the Itoff-llnronH’ Party, ami tlio Party
of Uns»—masters on the one 81Uc, Hlaves
on the Other—tho Day of at
li and.
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. .

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?
Gveoly IXOTvlinp at Seymour,
The New York Tribune opposses Hora
tio Seyinor with extreme bitterness. This
is not Jo be wondered at. Greely was an
original secessiouesi, whilstSeyraour was
an.original Union man. When the or

deavoring to work up the Southern peo

sisted them by declaring that they had ti
right to secede. Seymour took the op
posite view, holding Unit no State could*
secede from tho Union. And when ut

and others of the same kidney, made the
attempt to go out, Gov. Seymour sent ih«

SENATOR DOOLITTLE.
HIS RECEPTION AT HIS HOME.
Enthusiastic Gathering of His Friends
\ SPEECH OF WELCOME AND THE
SENATOR’S REPLY.
Grand Procession, Mnslc. Fireworks,

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.

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

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.
