BON. EDWIN M. STANTON
818 Reception by the People of
Philadelphia,
Speeches of Mr. Stanton, Governor
Geary, ex-Gov. Ctutin and
Hon. Wm. D. Kelley.
Serenade at the Union League
House.
The people of Philadelphia turned out in large
numbers on Saturday evening to do honor to the
greatest War Minister of modern times,HoLE.M.
Stanton, and the .kcademrof Music never con
tained a larger pr more enthusiastic audience.
iLiery scat, aisle and space was occupied. The
beaming ana intelligentfaces of ladies could be
seen in every part of the house, and the, scene in
-the parquette, circles and amphitheatre was truly
grand, and one which will not soon be forgotten
by those who were fortunate enough to obtain a
seat or standing room on the stage. Here were
seated the members of the Unionieague, to whom
Is due the honor of having brought this great
man amongst us.
Over the stage were suspended portraits of
Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Colfax, hand
somely draped with- American flags, and In front
of the same was a gas jet arrangement, contain
ing the words:
LET InS HAVE PEACE:-
The stage was 'filled with specially invited
guests and the Committee of Arrangements.
Among the prominent Republicans who occupied
seats on the stage were ex-Governor Curtin,Gov
ernor Geary, Maypr McMichael, Henry C.
Carey, Judge Strong, J. Edgar' Thomp-
SOD, Alexander K. McClure, Attorney-
General Benjamin H. Brewster, Hon. William D.
Kelley, Wayne McVeigh, Hon. Charles Gibbons,
General A. L. Russell (Adjutant-General of Penn
sylvania), Hon. Charles O'Neill, Jos. T. Thomas,
Daniel Dougherty, David Paul Brown, Eli K.
Price, William D. Lewis, and numerous 'others.
The building at fifteen minutes past seven
o'clock, though it bad been 'announced that the
meeting would not open until eight o'clock, was
jammed. The order was issued that no more
could get in, and the doers were closed. The
vast assemblage, from this time ,until eight
'o'clock, was entertained with some delightful
music by Beck's Band. At that hour the Com
mittee of the Union League, headed by Judge
Kelley and Hon. B. H. Brewster, filed in
-through the wings, while the ()rata of the
evening was brought through the centre
aisle from the rear of the stage down to the
chair which bad been provided for him. As soon
as he was seen, and he was quickly recognized
(the pictures that have been exhibited in the win
alows being faithful representations of the man),
the entire multitude rose to their feet and sent
up a cheer that made the blood tingle in one's
veins. It was a glorious scene to witness. Tho
men were cheering and tossing their hate, and the
ladles were waving their handkerchiefs. As sdon
as the cheering was through there was a general
dripping of hands, and the applause at last cul
minated in three cheers for Edwin M. Stanton.
Daring this hearty welcome, the die •
tingnished gentleman stood and acknowledged
the compliment by several bows. He then took
his seat between Governor John W. Geary, of
Pennsylvania, and Ex-Ghvernor A. G. Carlin,
of Pennsylvania. On either side of these gentle
men were seated many distinguished men of the
mercantile and political world.
At eight o'clock Samuel C. Perkins, Esq.,
called the meeting to order, as follows:
Ladies •and Gentlemen: I have been directed by
the Committee of Arrangements to call upon his
Excellency, Gov. John W. Geary, to preside at
this meeting. [Applause. I
Alddress of Gov. bleary.
When the applause had subsided Gov. Geary
Spoke as follows:
Fellow-Citizens, Ladies and Genilemen:-1. rise
for the - purpose of returning my thanks to the
committee and to this vast assemblage for the
high compliment in being permitted to preside
over this great concourse of my fellow-citizens
on this important occasion. But, my friends,
you can see from my condition of hoarseness
that I am unable to address you at any length to
night, and it is not me you have come here to
night to bear. There stands one in our midst
to-night whom we all delight to honor, and to
•whom, on the part of the Commonwealth. as
has already been done by the citizens of this
great city extending a heart' welcome, so I,
in the name of the Commonwealth in ad
dition to what you have already done, extend to
our distinguished guest and visitor a hearty, a
thrice hearty welcome. I Applause. I
The name of that distinguished individual is
written in the heart and memory of every citi
zen of this great country; his fame is coequal
with the broad extent of our nation. We have
written it high, high upon the escutcheon of our
great banner, away at the top amongst the he
roic men who have defended our country in the
hour of its danger. We will not take that n one
down. We will embalm it there forever. I Ap
plause.] There are many things that I could
say that fill my heart fully when I think of the
great man whom I have delighted to honor
throughout his entire course as the great Minis
ter of War during the trying period through
which our country has just passed. Applause. I
That Is possibly better said by others, and it is,
perhaps, as well to leave that work to them.
I will now introduce to you Edwin M. Stanton,
late Secretary of War, who will address you.
A scene of the greatest enthusiasm ensued. The
vast audience rose en masse, thousands of hand
kerchiefs waved in the air, and the cheering was
perfectly deafening. It was loud and long con
tinued, and Mr. Stanton faced the vast throng
and kept modestly bowing his acknowledg
ments. During a temporary lull in the greeting,
or- as it were, when the crowd stopped momen
tarily to get breath, a man in the balcony, with
stentorian lungs, succeeded in making himself
beard, and shouted: "Three ewers for the man
whom Lincoln delighted to honor, and who was
our great Secretary of War—Edwin M. Stanton."
The cheers were given with a will, the audience:
including a large number of the ladles,still E tan d -
jog. When the enthusiasm had finally ex
hausted itself, Mr. Stanton approached the front
of the stage and proceeded to address those pres
ent.
Address or Hon. Edwin M. Stanton.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Felloo-citizens of Phila
delphia : This mighty concourse, the largest that
my eyes ever beheld, is significant of two things:
First, it is a judgment in favor of Ulysses S. tir.iut
I cheers] ; and secondly, it is a judgment against
Horatio Seymour. The reasons for that judgment
I propose very briefly to call to your notice, as
the best tribute that I can pay for the honor
which you have done me this night; and because
tipon your carrying out that judgment on the first
Tuesday of November, depends, in my opinion,
the honor, the glory, and the duration of our Go
vernment. (Applause. I Upon the election nex t
Tuesday, the 8d of November, I behold the rock
of our national safety; and upon the triumph of
the banner which is held in the hands of Ulysses
B. Grant, I behold the victory of the principles
of freedom and of just government, now, and in
all time. Applause. I
Vie by then. know-citizens, have you this night
passea judgment in favor of Ulysses S. Grant
and against Horatio Seymour? The first reason
is from the persons who put them in uomination
before the people, and who are now urging them
forward as candidates for the Presidency of the
United States. They met, in New York -a short
lime ago: and who were they ? They were
red-handed rebels, prisoners of war to the United
States, they and their associates. These
are the men who put in nomination Horatio
Seymour. Who put in nomination Ulysses
B. Grant i I he great Republican party that bore
this nation triumphantly through the war, tin
der the Divine blessing, amid the trials and dan
gers sod all the vicissitudes of the great war
that we have just passed through. He was
nominated by the great Republican party. The
first reason, then, why we should prefer Grant,
onnest Tuesday. to Seymour, is to bo found in
the organizations and persons who placed them
in nomination, and in those whom they repre
sent. Grant represents the loyal heart of Ame
rica; Seymour is a traveling agent of Wade
newton and Forrest.
" Another reason for your judgment is to be
fertind in the merits of the persons themselves In
Giant we behold the leader of our armies in the
path of victory. [Applanbe.i In Grant we be
hold the great General who, under Divine Provi
dence, led our armies, supported us they were
by some of those who are here before you to
night. The same gallant General who, aseisted
by your present Governor, John W. Geary, and
aided by your late 'Governor, Andrew G. Until),
here at home, in the executive council and State
adtbinistintion, led you onward from gm Dfitelle-
OW to the Potomac eastward,until no' rebel flag
polar' .the gale on this continent. , • „
These then are reasons which fully 3untifY the
choice whichlon will make next Tuesday. but
these reasons are denied by others, and chiefly by
the agent, the representative of Forrest and of
Hampton, who haff recently been traversing this
continent for one thousand miles ' giving reasons
why Grant should not be elected, and why the
banner of the Union, dishonored and inglorious,
should be entrusted to his hands: What reasons
does he give? They are mainly accusations
against , the Republican party. Begin
ning from the time ho sot forth
until his pilgrimage ended here, in this,
city, his path has been a path of accusation; but
has he named one remedy? He hag told you of
mistakes that 'have been made, of errors that
have, been committed, of this that might
have been done, and the other that might,
have been omitted. or that , was done'
wrongly; but hsa he stated that there was him
self, or any one man of the whole ranks of those;
who are arrayed against the Republican ,party;
that might have done better has be
stated to you that there was a man
who stood forth as the representative, or
as the advocate of any measure of reform?
On these subjects his lips have been silent; he has
been dumb. I ask von, and appeal to your own
recollection, whilst Horatio Seymour has been
crying from ono end of the land to the other
against the mistakes of the Republican party,
against the wrongs of the Republican party,
against the errors that they have committed, what
remedy has he proposed, or that ho has shown
might - have been adopted? One only, I shall al
lude to directly. • His path, then, has been a path
of accusation; it has been a path of fault-finding;
it has been a path of the rat, gnawing to got a
nibble at the public cheese, and nothing else.
Applaufied
The burden of his song, beginning at Buffalo
and ending at Pittsburgh, has been mainly two
items—first, the expenditures of the Government
and its extravagance; and second, the taxation.
Now, what have been the expenditures of the
Government during the last three years, which
were complained of by Horatio Seymour? ' Rvery
one of them has been an expenditure for the War
and for war purposes. They have been expendi
tures to overthrow the rebellion; and what was
that? The rebellion was declared by foreign
statesmen, and their governments, to be beyond
the power of being repressed. Yet it has been
repressed, and repressed by the expenditure of
money; and, now, who complains of that expen
diture? The agent of Hampton, the agent of
Forrest, the agent of the whole body of the on
portents of the war, and no others.
But it is said there has been extravagance. Ex
travagance where, and in what items ? Ras he
shown that there has been a single item that could
have been snared ? Has he shown there has been
a single grain of gunpowder that could have
been purchased, for less ? Has ho shown that
the wrifquired a less amount of gunpowder ?
Has he shown anything in reference to other
amontrts"expended ? Not a particle of proof on
these points,has been given. If, therefore, there
has been a crime committed by the Republican
party; if there be truth in any of his accusations,
your existing Governor, General Geary,your past
Governor, Andrew G. Curtin, are partially re
sponsible.
Governor Curtin has stated and boasted he
sent forth 36d,000 men into the field of battle; he
and his children to the last generation will re
joice that he was permitted to be the instrument
of so gallant a work. Gov. Geary led them forth
into the field of battle. He exhorted them to come
forth from their homes, from their manufacto
ries. from their workshops, to take up arms; and
in their armies to pour into thegiouth, to pene
trate into the West, to pierce the East and the
centre, in order that this rebellion might be put
down. He and his descendants to the last gene
ration will rejoice that, under Divine Providence,
he had a share in the duty of saving his country.
Applatiee. I
Here, then, we have a large part of the whole
war expenditures of the 'United States accounted
for, and laid at your own doors—expenditures
made by governors of Pennsylvania for that
which Pennsylvania has rejoiced in doing at all
times, on all occasions, under all circumstances;
namely, to maintain the national authority, to
put down treason and rebellion, to preserve that
Government at the foundations of which she was
present,and for which she is willing to pour forth
her last dollar and her last drop of blood. [Ap
plause. I
The bead-roll of Governor Seymour requires
me to enumerate other groundless charges. They
are all of the same character, but some of them
deserve special consideration. I have said, and
repeat, that the principal expenditures Incurred ,
and occasioned by the Republican party, since it
has been in authority, were war expenditures;
namely, for the pay of soldiers, for their bounty,
for their food, for their clothing, for their arms,
for their ammunition, for whatever was neces
sary to strike the death-blow at the rebellion,and
to carry our flag in triumph over and against
treason and rebels. [Applause. I
Now, there is no wonder, indeed, that a man
animatt d by Wade Hampton and his associates
should find fault with these expenditures. It is
for you to say now, Do you regret those expen
ditures? j Cries of "No!" "No!"
Governor Seymour has said that these expen
ditures were unreasonable; and yet he has shown
no other way in which the rebellion could have
been put down. The inference, therefore, is ir
resistible that lie desired the rebellion should not
be put down; and that every drop of blood that
was shed, and every dollar of money expended,
he regrets as a waste and extravagance on the
part of the Government.
You have read Governor Seymour's speeches,
and it was the dreariest work that you ever un
dertook in your lives. [Laughter and applause.
What items of the three thousand millions of
money expended to put down this rebellion has
Seymour shown, or pretended to show, was un
reasonable? He has mentioned not one. He
dares not say he grudges the soldier his bread;
he dares not say he begrudges the sol
dier his pay; ire dares not say he be
grudges the expenditure for arms; he dares
not say be begrudges the transportation of our
soldiers from port to port, through the whole
length of our land, and !rola eity to city, and
wherever the war waged or the enemy was to be
found. He has Indeed specified one item, one
sinfile,solitary item—misconduct by the Secretary
of War. To find anything else I have performed
the task—and still live!—of reading all his
speeches. He has put his finger upon one single
expenditure whien he claims to be extravagance,
viz.: hiring transports or purchasing them.
Now, you are business men and business wo
men; for Emmy of you are engaged in transact
ing business. and are keeping accounts. When
a person objects to your bill, you say to him:
"Put your finger on the item; name the item you
object to." And the only one that has been
mimed by Governor Seymour is the transporta
tion; for which more vessels were employed than
he thinks were necessary. [Laughter.] He
rays that there were thousands of vessels,
chartered. Now, the fact was, when this
war terminated, the Quartermaster's
Deportment had seven hundred vessels bought
or chart, r. d: those ‘esseis, by enabling us to
throw :]0 tam, 3o,beil, .)0,000 men, now

But there is one other item worthy of your ob
servation—to see how this campaign has been
conducted. Seymour's speeches, it you follow
them, were all made for particular localities.
[Laughter. I . The general tone of his speech is
the taxes,the expenolitures,and the extravagance;
then, when he gets to a particular place, he looks
around to see if there is some little local touch he
can put in to excite local prejudice, and that is
put in. For instance, when he got

other day, he drew down his face, and talked to
the farmers about the low price of pork and
corn; 'when ho got to Pittsburgh he talked about
the wages of the laborer; when he got to Phila
delphia ho reached a smaller point, and talked
about the Secretary of War. lie said, in his
Reading speech, "The War Department has had
a great many war vessels, although he always
thought this was the business of the navy. He
would like to know how much was paid for
them, and who got the money."
Ladles and gentlemen, you know that the Pre-

army and navy; you know ,that the man who
should command your army anti,navy, ought r at
lestst,,to know what was itt,thelprovinee of 'the
different departments of the : Government, even if
ate was as Ignorant as Horatio Seymour of every
thing else. Now, behold, Horatio Seymour de

might as well have stood by 'Grant at Vicksburg
and told him where to plant., his cannon. Ho
might as well have stood by Meade, complain
ingly, when ho was mowing the rebels on the
field of Gettysburg. ' •
Why, behold the ignorance of this man! Wade
Hampton and Forrest would blush
,with shame,to hear their candidatelsay thought the buy
ing of army transports belonged to the navy.
-It is the business of the War" Department to'
have transports for the army. The Quartermaster
,General is the officer ofthe Government who
has the tranSportation of the army; It is he who
moves the soldiers. Ho moves the: soldiers by
railroads, by stages, by wagons, by 'steamboats,
by ships; seven hundred .transports were char
tered by Gen. Melgs' to move our armies.
And behold, Horatio Seymour, within about
five days of the Presidential election, declares
that be hadnever examined that important sub
ject of the army and the navy, and had always
supposed it was Gideon Welles's business to trans
port the army. The Secretary of the Navy nad
as much as he could do with the iron-clads, and
with Semmes, and with that class of important
duties. A degree of ignorance on the part of
any man who has, as Governor of a , State, had
charge of military or naval affairs, equal to this,
has never heretofore been exhibited before
any people. Is such a man flt to be
commander of the army and the navy of the
United States? f "No! ho is not!"] He says, far
ther: "I would like to know bow much was paid
for them (the transports) and who got the
mone?" That is the point. He wants to know
who has the cheese. ,[Laughter.) But, he adds,
"To ascertain this would not cost more than to
supply your representatives with pen-knives."
I do not know how much Mr. Kelley
gives for pen-knives. [Laughter. Now,
fellow-citizens, would you believe it that
this man has every year had an
account of every dollar expended for the pun
chase of transports, for their charter, for their
subsistence; that the Republican party has
not only not withheld the books,
but that* they have rendered the
annual accounts just as regular as any act ofthe
Government. Every year that Congress has
been in session, the members of Congress know
some man has been try ing to see if he could not
find out something. For three years they have
had this knowledge, which has been right before
them. They know just as well, and have as much
means of knowing, what the cost of vessels are,
as you have of knowing how your own ledger
stands; and yet these are the insinuations brought
up by Horatio Seymour against the Republican
party, against the administration of the Govern
ment by tha Republican party.
Now, this does not proceed in Seymour from
the sin of lying-, it is the sin of ignorance. It is
not wonderful that a man who thought Mr. Gid
eon Welles was bound to transport armies of a
million of men, should not really know where to
took to find the accounts of this Gov
ernment, rendered annually. We must have,
theretore, some charity for Horatio Seymour
If the Bill of wilful misrepresentation is not
shown, then it is the sin of gross, shameful and
the mostzldiculotesjgnorance ever shown belorc
the people by any one seeking a respectable
office.
But Mr. Seymour goes farther : "There were
some thousands of ships bolight daring the
war!"
The whole number was seven hundred bought,
ebartered,hired by the week, hired by the month,
hired for the occasion ; and only those were
bought that were required as regular transports,
as those between Neer York and Bonth Carolina,
to points where we wanted to carry the maihl or
to - do regular and stated transportation. Now,
if the Apposing party never had a look at the
Looks how did he know one thousand were pur
chased?
Now the truth is t fleymour has been examining
the reports ; and he not only misrepresents the
number, but he knows exactly where the boats
were chartered, what cities they were chartered
in, and if he chooses to know, world know all
the facts in regard to them.
Seymour says: "Why is there not a list of all
the vessels, as to where they were chartered, what
their cost was, the prices, alterations, .Scc. If
you had such a table you would know whether
the pice was fair or exorbitant. Yon would
know the man who got the money; whether be
was a fraud or not. You could learn the conduct
of the department officials. If you knew what
prices were paid, how many men were paid sala
ries under Government pstronaga, you would be
able to judge of what was well and wisely done."
Now, moralists and lawyers divide lying into
two classes—the suggestm falsi and the suppressio
rere; that is, the suppression of truth, or the
suggestion of falsehood. All this is to be found
in this one paragraph of Seymour's speech. In
the first place, the vessels were not chartered by
thonsalads; in the second place they ought not
to be elfartered or purchased by the Navy De
partment; in the third place, a list of the num
ber, where purchased, the price paid, and to
whom, has been furnished. Another false
suggestion is "that more "money lias been
ea-p ndmi since the war than during tee war!" You
have heard the charges rung upon this; and al
though details are tedious to you, yet you desire
to form an enlightened Judgment upon this sub
ject. First, be says that "more money was ex-
Tended since the war than daring the war." If
he means more mopey was paid out of the Trea
sury, that is true; niat the money was not expen
ded since the war. It was the payment of debts
contracted during the war; it was the payment of
a debt already due. And in this respect there Is
a palpable falsehood.
I pees, therefore, from that point to another.
He has not only not specified any reasonable
ground of accusation against the Republican
party, but he has suggested no remedy iur the
accusations, even if they were true. Of the 80.11313
character are his charges against the Secretary
of War. The whole charges against the Secre
tary and the Republican party reveal the pur
poses, designs, object, and spirit of Horatio
Seymour, and the party that upholds him. The
following one is worthy of your consideration :
"I was one who believed that great wrung had
been done to our army. I believed that it there
had been at the head of the administration of
army affairs one who understood the real policy
to be pursued, the war would not have been pro•
longs l at such risk to our people, and the Union
would have, been restored at an earlier period,and
that many of the problems that now disturb us
would nut have arisen."
Now, what was the policy of the Secretary of
War, for his policy and that of Horatio Seymour
were directly and diametrically opposed to.cach
othrr. I Applause.) The policy of the Secretary
of War was sustained by you 1 applause and
sustained by Me State of Pennsylvania. It was
sustained by the people of the United States,
and you, and not the Secretary of War,
are responsible for it. Applause.' It was
to pursue the enemy to the last ex
tremity I applause I; it was to smite him wher
ever he was found. [Applause.] By day and by
night, it was to carry forward the flag of the
United Stales, and to trample under foot the flag
of the rebels [applause], and to stand by Abra
ham Lincoln to the last. 'Prolonged cheers.
By dry and by night to be by his side, to uphold
his arms, to t. ucourage him in his efforts towards
the cause of liberty, to strengthen and support
him iu his hostility to the enemy, and, above all,
to convince him that u [ion the rock of eniancipa
ion we must build our safety. Applause.]
That was the policy of the Secretary of War.
Cheers.]
It is true, as Horatio Seymour declares ! that if
that policy had not been pursued, and it his vo
lley had been adopted, then this war would have
been brought to a speedier close. But how? - By
the overthrow of the Government of the United
States, by the triumph of the rebels, by the suc
cess of treason, by the destruction of the cause of
liberty in this land sad all over the earth. And
by the blessing of God, Seymour's policy was not
adopted, and mine was. f Cheers.
Be says, moreover, that the war would have
been brought to a speedier close, and that our
citizens would have been saved the risk to
which they have been exposed. Now, who were
the men who would have thus been saved risk?
The men whom Meade and his army mowed
down at Gettysburg, the men who were slain by
the Union army in the trencheti of Petersburg,
the men who were humbled by Grant at Donel
son and Vicksburg;these are the men whose lives,
"whose risk"—as he termed it---would have been
saved. And another risk they would have been
saved,that turned out to be of very little account,
and that is of having their leaders hung by the
neck until they were dead. I Applause.
I have passed deliberately through Mr. Sey
mour's speech, for I do not mean to do this work,
so fa r as lies upon me, deceitfully. With the
same policy that was adopted in the war, I have
aimed to pursue the enemy and smite hirri at
every point and have thus gone through with
the accutatlons of Horatio Seymour. I have
One question now, to ask. The Mistakes Men

Grant was befolo the enemy's face 'fighting him;.
be was faking:no surrender, except - that, it was
"Uncerditional!" [Applause.] No: terms left
his lips , but "Unconditional surrender" of the
enemy of his country.
As to the accusations against the Secretary of
War., he rejoices in. them. I would bind them,
upon the brows of his children, as did the Jews
Istold, and would leave them no other fortune
than to have written: "This man fought the
rebels to the last extremity l"
But it is very unkind for Horatio Seymour to
`aecnie the Secretary of War. Holies been tra-
Veiling on the Secretary's' pass for two years.
The only certificate of character he bas ever had
in his life Is the one that has been paraded by
every Copperhead press in the land,. signed
"Edwin 31. Stanton." And now it behooves me
to give 'some explanation of that certificate; I
did under the' circumstances just as you would
'do, and as all loyal men will do theynext Tuesday
In November if they vote for Seyo",idnr—l was
mistaken I I Applause._
I will read to you the certificates. The first
is dated on the 15th day of Juno, 1863. Mark the
date—the 15th day of June. It is in these
words:
"To Governor Seymour : Tho President directs
me to return his thanks,with those of the depart
ment, to your prompt response."
That was on the 16th day of June, 1863. Lee,
with his army 100,000 strong, was moving upon
the free States and marching to invade Pennsyl
vania. We bad confidence in our own troops. We
bad force, equal, perhaps, in numbers; but wo
were not willing to run any risk that could be
provided against.
On the morning of the 15th of June, the Secre
tary of War wrote a telegram to the Governor
of New Jemey; also to Governor Curtin, of
Pennsyjvania, and to the Governors of all the
loyal States, asking them if,they had any troops,
militia or others, that were available that could
be forwarded to Washington; because if we bad
these troops veteran and trained soldiers could
be withdrawn from the garrisons and sent for
ward to strengthen the army that was about to
be hurled in combat against Leo. On that same
day, Horatio Seymour replied that he had
some troops of organized militia, and without
delay would forward them to Washington.
On the evening of that day, well do I remem
ber, Abraham Lincoln and I sat side by side in
the corner of the room, where I saw so many
anxious beats of his great heart. Wo wore look
ing over the chances of the conflict. We know
that the critical hour was about to strike on the
clock of time, a,ners.we looked nil over
to see whether our work was done; to
see whether there was any point where we
could strengthen the army, to insure a victory
er avert a disaster. Telegrams came; we
looked over them, and there among them was a
despatch from Governor Seymour promising
that he would quickly forward troops. Why did
that excite surprise? Why did it call for thanks
from the President? To Governor Tod ho ex
plained,' when the Governor asked him "Why
is it yon thank a Copperhead Governor and ren
der no thanks to loyal Governors?" "Because
they do not need it, and Seymour does!" i Ap
plause.]
On that night, as we sat there with our hearts
heavy, considering that question as to whether
oar duty was do*. and the approaching issue of
the day, Mr. Lincoln said, after expressing his
surprise that Governor Seymour was about to
change the course he was pursuing towards the
Government, "I think we ought to make some
acknowledgment." I said, "I think so, too;" and
so that telegram was written. I Applause. It
was to encourage a faint-hearted Governor,placod
by accident at the head of the reat Btato of the
Union, and to induce him to join with us in la
boring for the national cause.
A week from that time passed, and on the 21st
of June, stimulated by the patriotic ardox of the
citizens of Now York, unable to resist the pres
sure that they were making upon him in the
hour when the enemy were already marching
upon free soil, a few regiments came, and there
they stopped. A few regiments came, and then
what was done? Another note of thanks was
written to Governor Seymour in these words:
"Dear cannot forbear to express to you
the deep obligation I feel for the prompt and
candid support you have given the Government
in the present emergency.
At that time and that hour I would have en
gaged to support Seymour against all men on
the earth because I thought he had sacrificed
party spirit and strong prejudice, and that he was
an instance where conscience and patriotism had
burst the bands of party and soared to a loftier
sphere! This was on the 21st day of June.
Within ten days after that Horatio Seymour
stood in Cooper Institute denouncing the
Government, discouraging the defenders of
the flag, while Meade was mowing rebels
down on the field of Gettysburg, and
Grant was taking the surrender of 35,000 rebels
at Vicksburg. j Applause. I While I admit I
gave this pass that Governor Seymour has been
traveling on for two years, I have no right to
take his excuse of ignorance, and claim the bene
fit that I gave to him when he said that Gideon
Welles ought to transport the troops. Yoa be
hold Seymour's change; look at these dates, they
show exactly the conduct of Seymour. He was
appealed to on the 15th of June; he answered the
same day; troops came on the 21st of Jane, and
on the 9th of July he was at Cooper Institute
denouncing the draft, pleading against his coun
try, and pleading for the enemy. I Applause.]
But, my friends, I have already occupied your
time and your patience far more than my
strength would jueify. These were points
proper for you to know, and to bear in mind,
that on the same day you and your feLow-clti
zens were overthrowing the enemy at Gettysburg
and at Vicksburg, this man, who had been en
trusted with the confidence of the President of
the Crated States, was opposing the recruiting
of the army. Are you prepared to trust such a
man with the army, with the navy, with the
treasury, with all the powers of the Govern
ment? I Cries of "no! no!" I Then vote
against him next Tuesday. I Cries of "We will."
"We'll do that." I
Upon the 4th day of July, 1863, notwithstand
ing the conduct of"Doratio Seymour, the sun of
our country's glory buret forth in splendor
through the dark cloud of rebellion that had for
some years overshadowed it, and the baleful ex
halations of treason were scattered. Do your
duty next Tuesday, and the eon of our political
glory will shine as brightly and with as great a
lustre as it shone on the day of the 4th of July at
Vicksburg arid at Gettysburg. [Applause.] Vote
against Grant, and the darkness and gloom that
will settle over this country like the pall of mid
night will settle deeper and deeper over the land,
over its prosperity, over all the elements of na
tional power, over all' the elements of national
honor, over all the elements of national strength,
and the greatest calamity that ever befel a people
will happen. May' Divine Providence avert that
catastrophe !
Cheer upon cheer greeted the eloquent speaker
as he retired. The whole audieneu rose and
waved hats and handkerchiefs, and for COMO min
utes the applause continued.

The Chairman (Governor Gearifthen said:

than my own; one who presided' over the State
of Pennsylvania for six long years (cheers I; one

and again repeated, the audience:, rleingd ,
Gov. Curtin then came forsratd, and said wat
tle occasion which attracted this vast audience
had already passed. As a eititen 'of Pennsylva—
nia, ho could not but feel grateful for this ovation
to a distinguished and faithful public eervant,one
to whom he returned his warmest thanks for
coming. hero in feeble health to add his voice to
the multitude of voices to be beard on next Tues
day at the ballot-box. He then proposed three
cheers for Mr. Stanton, the, War Minister of the
United States. [The cheers were accordingly
given, tho recipient bowing his acknowledg
ments. 1
The speaker then congratulated his hearers
upon the early termination of this most desperate
and "stirring contest. Heretofore the final result
in Pennsylvania had been invariably foreshadow
ed by the preceding election, and there was to-day
no reason to doubt that the verdict of the State had
been indicated and would be repeated. Never yet
bad Pennsylvania channd her political opinion
within a single month -Me never would. He con
gratulated his hearers upon the thoroughness and
unanswerable character of the replies ot the Secre
tary of War to the mierepresentatione and in
sinuations of a candidate for the first office in
the gift of a free people. The result of the Penn
sylvania and Ohio and Indiana electinns had so
startled the leaders of the Democratic organiza
tion, that their champion was suddenly fright
ened from his home in Utica; and, strange to
say, In taking up the line of his pilgrimage, he
Dad followed precisely the trail pursued in 1866
by Andrew Johnson, in company with a banditti
of orators who were "swinging around the
circle."
The'speaker then reviewed the arguments ad
vanced by Mr.. Seymour in the course of his
tour, severally , answering each of them to the
satisfaction of his audience. Seymour had
charged that the Republican party were indiffer
ent to the wrongs and sufferings of the South,
forgetting that the Freedmen's Bureau had been
instituted and supported by this very party for
the maintenance and protection of the people of
the South, white and black. If for no other act,
the speaker would thank a loyal Congress for
having raised from chaos this most beneficent in
stitution. He continued: I beg the pardon of
the Secretary of War when he says that Seymour
haa been travelling on his "pass" all the time.
You must remember, sir, that he is travelling on
one received.at the same time from me; you, Mr.
Secretary, stirred me up, and I stirred Seymour
up. [Cheers. I
You said to me, "Call out the militia of your
State, arm your people, place every possible ob
struction in the way of the rebel army;" and at
one o'clock in the morning you thrilled me, sir,
with a dispatch that "the Army of the Potomac
has crossed the river and is new on the march to
relieve you in Harrisburg." I had telegraphed to
the Governors of New York and Now Jersey that
the danger was imminent; not to delay. I said
that the battles of the Ist and 2d were not de
cisive; that we needed all the help we could get.
And now Mr. Seymour paraees my despatch for
ell( et. I beg your pardon, Mr. Secretary; your
"pass" is punched; mine is really most in use
now. I Laughter and applause.
The speaker then referred to the Tammany
Hall Convention and its nominees.
- - -
Seymour was the spawn of Tammany Hall,and
Tammany Hall licked that spawn into, shape.
One of the Blahs was taken'as his associate upon
tke Democratic ticket. The speaker had never
liked the Blair family, and he was well aware of
their dislike for himself. Montgomery Blair had
interfered in Pennsylvania during the
political campaign in which the speaker
was a gubernatorial candidate, but
with what success was well known.
In 1864, Mr. Lincoln was advised to get , rid of the
Biafra, and he then turned Montgomery Blair out
of the Cabinet, but that gentleman immediately
descended to the kitchen of the White HoUse.and
has there since remained. In conclusion, Gov
ernor Curtin earnestly advised those present
to assist in ferreting out and pnnishinw
the frauds to be attempted. niter' them on the
day of elecUon, suggesting that they act In
the manner of a committee of vigilance, and
reminding them of theindividual responsibilityof
each citizen in the maintenance of the Gtivern
mem.
Speech 01 Judge Kelley.'
Governor Geary then said: I have been re
quested by the committee to State that It is the
oseeire to serenade Mr. Stanton at the League
House, and after a short address which to be
delivered by Judge Kelley, this meeting will ad
journ -to the League Houec.
The Hon. William D. Kelley said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I readily understand
your desire to hear me 'for a few minutes to
night. You want me to tell you sOmething about
those Congressional penknives'of which oar dis
tinguished orator spoke, and I avail myself of the
opportunity to convey to your minds some faint
conception of the microscopic character of the
Intellect of Horatio Seymour.
I have not waded through his speech. Ido not
want to softer with intellectual dyspepsia, and I
have not discovered the fact that he la charging
upon your Congress the vices of the Democratic
party. When you honored me with a seat in
Congress, the first session of a Republican Con
gress repealed all laws by which the leaders of
the Democracy had been supplied with combs,
hair-brushes, penknives, at the cost of the
people and of the country. (Applause.] Again,my
excellent friend Gov. Curtin said to you that the
rebels had driven one of your Congressmen from
one of their States, and you Want to know why I,
representing the majesty of the Fourth district,
permitted myself to be driven from any State. I
remembered that I was an American citizen, that
Grant commanded the army, and I waited till I
heard the word halt, and then I announced that
on the following day I would speak in the city
front which the telegram came by order of Jef
ferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, that
the rebel flag would float over our national
capital by the Ist of May, and I went to Mont
gomery and made my speech. I staid not by the
grace of the Southern people, but by the might
and majesty of the people and Government of
the United States. I staid safe under the shadow
of that greater than Carnot; his power and his
name through the army of the United States
were my assured protection.
I remember very well some such scenes as he
so eloquently depleted as occurring ou the 15th
of June, 1863. Let me tell you in his presence,
that of all the treasures my household contains
as an heirloom for these who shall bear my
name, is the simple card you sent me the day
afttr you became War Minister directing your
subordinate to admit the bearer to the War De
partment at all hours of the day or night. Ap
plause.] I remember some such scenes; but I.
wish, hilladelphians, hastily to bring to your at
tention your condition in the ten days that in
tervened between the sending of troops and the
speech of Horatio Seymour.
We read of the battle of Waterloo, and wonder
at the magnificent carnage of that battle. We
look anon Wellington and Napoleon as demi
gods. We single Carnot's name from the vol
umes of history. And yet Waterloo was but a bit
of byplay in the great chapter of history that
was enacted in our own State on the first three
days of the July following that telegram. Noon
approached when the first blood was drawn at
Waterloo, and when the sun went down the vic

remnants of the Old Guard of France. Att ! was

in hiding places; many had sent their wives and
daughters away, because upon the fate of the

so comfortably seated as you are. Columbus had
his dream; he saw mountains and rivers and
lakes and forests; but he saw them under the

only the civilization of the past. We know the

resources, and these in peace well secured by
General Grant will aliyield their blessings not

minutes after nine o'Clock rain began to fall, in

shelter their holders. Notwithstanding this the
crowd diminished but slightly, those who re
mained occupying their time by praising the
beautiful dissolving views that were thrown on

Edwin M. Stanton spoke as follows :

victory of next Tuesday cries "That is so" and

But, why? Because it is your victory; be
cause it is your cause: and because it is yours,
not from any selfish considerations, not because
you are better, or wiser, or greater than your
fellow-men; but because you represent the great
Cause of human liberty. [Applause. Iris be
cause you represent the great cause of human
freedom. As, therefore, the rebels yielded to the
physical power wielded by Grant, and fled before
him, so will the rebel hordes next Tuesday floe

zation that has done so much to put down the re
bellion as your Union League of Philadelphia.
Applause.' In the dark hour of 1862, when our
armies were overwhelmed with disaster, when
treason and rebellion were stalking abroad
through the land, when the great heart of Abra- -
ham Lincoln was sinking within him, the Union
League of Philadelphia came to his rescue. I
know it, I saw it, I telt it; and I witnessed the
throb of emotion, of joy, of gratitude, of hope,
with which it filled 'the heart of our great leader.
The Union League of Philadelphia was the typi
cal association on which similar organizations
were formed all over the land; nail in the hour of
darkness, gloom, and disaster, it contributed
much to turn the tide against us, and lead on to ,
that great victory which finally crowned our
arms.

if, therefore, any acknbwledgment of my own
will give any satisfaction to the Uoion League,

After the Secretary had Redressed the crowd itt

number of the members, who thronged to take

HON. WLII. R. SEW ARD ON THE SIT-
13ATIOBt.
Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State. ad
dreased a largo audience at Auburn Now York,
on Saturday afternoon. During 'his remarks he
said :
I find you in an election to constitute a new
administration of tbo Government of the . United
Stales. >The theory obtained in the early 'revival
of science that an elixir could be compounded
by the ute of which the human consti
tution could be periodically renewed at the
end of every hundred years, and so man
become immortal. The quadrennial national
election of a President of the United States
Is just such a periodical renewal as this of the na
tional life, Whereby the nation in fact becomes
immortal. Casting my vote in a great election of
this sort is equally the exercise of an inestimable
privilege and the performance of a high sacred
duty. Mutual explanation of votes Is the only
means by which mutual confidence can be pre
served among citizens, while it saves suffrage
from profanation, and intrigue, and corruption.
In the period of eighty years under the Con
stitution which makes us a nation, we have re
newed the Republic in the sameprescriblid way
by twenty national elections. I have voted in
the last efevon of these, being all those national
elections that have occurred since I came to the
franchise. The present election is the twenty
fizet of the entire series, and my twelfth ! ,
In this election, as I have expresaed my
self at the time of each preceding one,
I led this may be my last. Every Presidential
election necessarily has a real though abstract
Importance. We have here a republican system
instead of a monarchial, and the ultimate adop
tion of this system by all American nations is
necessary for security. Every new republic es
tablished anywhere constitutes a new bulwark of
the Republic of the United States.
[Applause.] Oar republican government
has some peculiar devices of local adop
tion and equivalent, designed to operate by
way of check and balance. Nevertheless, our
Constitution has four essential elements, perhaps
more. These elements are: first, the actual
choice of a presiding magistrate by a direct vote
of the whole people; second, equal suffrage of
all citizens in the election; third, equal represen
tation of all constitutional communities in the
Republic; fourth, conditions and periods of
power well (leaned and absolutely fixed.
The casting or withholding a vote by any citi
zen inconsiderately actually impaira, although,
perhaps, imperceptibly, the vigor and energy ne
cessary to the continuance of the Republic, just
as the casting or withholding all the votes incon
siderately would bring it abruptly to an end.
Standing as we do now, at the close of the twen
tieth administration, I can well conceive that
she Brat election was the most important
of alt, inasmuch as a mistake then com
mitted in the choice of the first Pre
sident of the United States, or the first Congress,
might have involved a failure of the system at
the very beginning. It was just such a mistime
that the French people committed in 1848. They
lost their new Republic by electing a Bonaparte
instead of Cavaignse. That mistake having
been avoided here, the Government promptly
went into successful operation. It soon aequired
the vigor of custom, and continually gained
strength from increasing popular reveres tee and
affection.
The nation encountered no crisis until 1860.
The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 oc
curred at a time, when a sectional faction, with
extensive ramifications, had fully prepared a
formidable rebellion. The election of 1864 was
still more critical; certain States were effectually
excluded by rebellion from recognition or
acceptance; and it only remained for the
still. adhering States to reject Abraham
Lincifin as President in 1864. to effect
the speedy; if not - Immediate dissolution of
the Union. On the other hand,lt was reasonably
expected that the reaffirmation- in 1861 of the
choice made in 1860 would so consolidate the
loyal and patriotic masses of the country in sup
port of the administration, as to enable President
Lincoln 'to prosecute the war as no other Presi
dent could, and to improve as no other President
could the return of peace, by combining concili
ation with decision until the Constitution should
he re-established throughout the whole Union.
In 1864 the strength ofj the rebellion was effec
tually broken, and on March 4, 1865, Abraham
Lincoln entered upon his second term of Presi
dency, for the first time with full possession of
the rebel State de facto as well as de jure, the
recognized and accepted Chief Magistrate of the
whole Republic. I Applause.] With him Con
limas and all other departments of the Federal
Union equally recognized and accepted the duty
which devolved vpon the Government in the
second administration of Abraham Lincoln to
save the Constitution and Union from further
revolutionary violence, and by , just, generous,
and judicious measures to bring the distracted
and desolated rebel States back to their constitu
tional relations with the Federal Union.
We have reached the last, end of that second
administration begun by Abraham Lincoln, and
we unfortunately find that Its great work, as I
have described it, remains as yet only incom
pletely and unsatisfactorily accomplished. Par
ties now vehemently dispute whether this failure
is the fault of one department or of another;
the fault of the Executive system of reconcilia
tion, or of the Congressional system
of reconstruction. I do not enter into
that dispute, as It belongs to the past. More
over, I am now inclined to think that it was un
reasonable to expect the passions and ambitions
of thirty-three free States, and thirty millions of
free people, so recently and terribly convulsed by
civil war, to subside in so short a period as form
years. It is the highest attitude of the Almighty
which the divine ,oet has conceived, that be
stilled the noise of the seas, the noise of their
waves, and in the tumult of the people the storms
must be withheld before the seas can come to
rest. * * * * * *
?ir. Seward defended President Johnson's
policy of reconstruction and denounced the Con
gressional plan of reconstruction. He further
said:
Ido not ask or require that Representatives
here, orGovernors there, shall be walla or black,
or mixed. I insist only that they shall be repre
sentative men, freely chosen In those States by
the people themselves, and not by outside com
pulsion or dictation. I shall not take the sword
in hand or put it into the hand of any-other per
son to effect a reform by force in those States
which ram sure will be effected much sooner
and much More permanently through the exer
cise of persuasion and reason. As little
do I think it my duty to use the
sword to undo and remove what has already
been done in those States. Whether it was neces
sarily done or unwisely done, the ambitions of
parties must come to reflect with the close of
this election, and calmness and tranquillity mast
sooner or later resume their sway over the pub
lic mind. It is possible that the dilemma of
reconciliation may continue, and may require
the attention of the new Administration. It is
in this respect that I deem the present choice of
the future Chief Magistrate not only important,
but perhaps critically so, as the last two choices
were so.
One consideration alone is sufficient to deter
mine my judgment in this emergency. I cannot
forget that the civil war has closed with two great
political achievements : the one, the saving of the
integrity of the Union ; and the other, the aboli
tion of African slavery. The magistrates who are
to preside in the work of reconstruction hereafter
ought, like those who have preceded in former
singes-of that work._to_be men_drawn-from and
-representing-that elase-ofeitizetrawhoinaintained
the Government in the prosecution of the civil
war and in the abolition of slavery, and in no
.other hands could the work of reconciliation be
expected to be, successful.
the attitude of each of the political parties in
this canvass is in some respects different from
what I myself could have desired. Very great
crimes have been committed in the name of lib
erty by the Republican party of the United States.
Nevertheless tne Republican party neither rests
under any suspicion of its loyalty or its devotion
to human freedom; nor can it fall under any such
suspicion.
The Democratic party—l do not propose now
to say with how much justice—has notso con
ducted itself with corporate and responsible ac
tion as to- secure the confidence of the loyal
people in its unconditional and uncompromising
adherence to the Union, or in its acceptance and
approval of the effective abolition of slavery. I
entertain no jealousy of the Democratic party
or its leaders, and no unfriendly or un
charitable feelings -towards that groat con
stituency On the other hand I cherish -a
grateful appreciation of the patriotism,
magnanimity, awl bowl= of many of my fllow-
citizens, with whom I have chteanlly laboxed
cad co-operated. While they still 'retain' their
adhesion to the Democratic party, bow could I
distrust the' loyally of. Andrew Johnson. General
Hancock. General McClellan; Senator Backalow
of l'ennaylvania,' of Senator Hendricks of In-:
diens, orhis associate, Mr.Niblackt or of Oox of
Ohio, to whom , personally, more than to any
other is duo the passage of the constitu
tional amendment abolishing slavery!
To confide the responalbilities of the Govern
ment to the Democratic party in its present co:l
-inden, would be to perhaps increase the' lamen
table political excitement, which alone has de
layed the complete restoration of the Union up to
the present time. The result of the election.if fa
vorable to the candidates of our choice, will pre
pare the popular mind to accept now what it has
heretofore rejected, namely, ' the most practical
and easy solution of the national embarrass
seento.
