Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
In meadows where the downy seeds arc flying
And soft the breezes blow,
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry parteltige drnmaln hidden places;
And glittering trisects gleam
Above the reedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their filmy laces.
At eve, cool shadows Nil
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes to purple turning,
And pearly Vapors lie
Along the Eastern sky ,
Where the broad harvest moon Ls redly horning.
! soon on field and bill
The winds &ball wbistle chi i,
And patriarch swallows call their docks together
To dy from frost•and snow,
dud seek for lambs wbero blow
The fairer blossoms of balmier weather.
Search forjbe honey lees
That lirmer In the lest floe era of Septemher,
While plaintive mourning doves
Coe sadly to their loves
Of the dead Sutatoer they BO well remember.
The'cricket chirps all day,
"Oh p fairest Summer, stay I"
The squirrel eyes askance the eliestnhts browning
The, wild fowls fly star
Above the foamy bar
And hasten southward ere the skies are frowning
And round about my temples fondly lingers,
In wentle pinytutneass
Like to the soft csress
&stowed In happier days by loving fingers.
Yet though a sense of grief
Come with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the magnet doubly pleasant ;
In all my Antumu dreams
A future summer gleams
Passing the fairest glories or the present.
ROW TIME WAS KILLED FOB ME.
My greatest trouble is that I have too mneh mon
ey. My greatest virtue, in one view of It, Is that I
don't want any more. It the latter fact accounts tor
my being so lazy, tel It go at that.
I am lazy, Purely ; and ennuled, most of the time,
and blaze, and all that sort of thing. I've been the
round of mortal amusements, until nothing In that
way given me any satisfaction. It has been suggest
ed to me that it might be a good Idea If I wouid go
to work. I may do that yet out of ebecr despair.
I go to theares and yawn all through the play.—
I to balls and soirees and am dist,rusted these
girl: all know I'm rich. I lolled away a week at
N.-wp,,rt ir. July, and bathed once or twice ; but
what a bore It M to-bathe ! There's no taking your
ease in the water, the surf knocks a fellow about so.
One day last week I had been taking a drive in the
park, and toward evening itrolled down Broadway,
a little more ennuied than usual, If possible. R but
should I do to kill time? As I reached Taylor'. I
glanced in, and remembered with a sigh the delight
with which I bad looked upon the gaudy glories of
that big saloon one evening eight or ten years ago,
when I was making my first visit to New-York with
a party of school-boy iriends. That was about a
year before I came info my property, you know,
and I was as fresh an a daisy.
Stirred by the memory of that happy, Impecuni
ous time, I sat down;:ordering something to eat,
and a bottle of wine. :While engaged in poking a
piece of chicken with fork, aue - i.qmit,
I enjoyed the wine, norm very much surprised at
beholding a good looking middle-aged lady, in a
black silk dress, come up to me and-sit down oppo
site at my table.
"This is Mr. Smith, I believe, isn't it?" said she.
"Not at all," said I; "my name Is Jones "
It isn't, however, It' is St. Clair; hut I did not
deem it necessary that the woman should know my
name.
:Why, I was sure this was Mr. Smith," said she.
"It's all the same," said I; "it's very near it—
Jones is. Will you have . a glass of wine with me ?"
"Sir !" said she, with some asperity.
"I asked you—a glass of wine, you know. IL's
not the best, bat such as it Is—"
— Your impertinence. will not avail you, Mr.
Smith," said the woman ; and sbe gathered up her
black silk skirt• and left me.
' I raised my eyes a trifle, and languidly watched
her cross the room as I nipped my wide. She ap
proached a group of two ladles and one gentleman,
sand exchanged some observations with them, upon
.1,414 they all bent an earnest guts me-ward.
Then they went out.
A moment atter I went out also, and there they
all were In a group upon the side-walk, evidently
waiting for me. the gentleman--quite a well so
peat inc chap he was, too—came up to me and said :
"1 think this is Mr. Smith, Is it not!'"
"It is not," said I; "I am familiar with the name
of Smith. Mai do not own It."
Then I stepped within and lit a cigar. I bad Just
come acros_s a lot of the primest Havana, up town,
and had put a whole bunch of them in my pocket.
My friends remained at the door, and I offered
the gentleman a cigar, which he courteously declin
ed. The who] , group then approached me more
closely.
"Certainly, it Is Mr. Smith," said a gushing little
creature in blue silk.
'Of course it is," said another gashing little crea
ture in erten silk.
— lt is oarless for you to deny your name, Mr.
Smith ; you see-we all recognize you perfectly "
"..knd in Case my name were Smith, Sir, may I ask
what Smith could do to serve you andyour fair
companions?"
*" "A good deal, sir," said the gentleman; "us
mach, I believe, Mrs. Jones,as two hundred dollars,
Is it nut ?"
The lady in black silk nodded.
"That's not a good deal," said L
"Then perhaps you wilt pay It at once, Mr. Smith,
and save further trouble."
•• Assuredly I will," said I, "when I owe It."
"Do you mean to deny k air," said•the gentleman,
very deliberately, "that you owe Mrs. Jones here
that rum lot board; that you left her house on
Thursday night, last, and carried off b.ldes---4( t hite
by mistake, 1 dare say—a valuable ring belonging
to thL young lady, 'Nies Julia Jones
I raised my hat to Miss Jolla Jones.
"Then 1 judge," said 1, "that I must have been
on agreeably intimate terms with this young lady at
the time my name Was Smith r
"Was there ever such impertinence !" ejaculated
Miss Julia Johell.
"Really, about the hardest case of cheek 1 ever
saw la my life," said the geraleman,staring curious,
ly at me.
"I bid you good-day, ladies,"•said I, "and you,
sir."
I strolled up the street smoking. They followed
me, and presently 1 felt a policeman's hand laid on
me shoulder.
"Bee y'pardnn, sir," said the protector of inno
cence, "ads gentleman directs your arrest."
"Armin:" said I. "Well, this Is interesting. On
what charge, pray'"
"Ortiod larceny," said the gentleman, nodding to
the officer
I bit my clear nervously. At first I bad a notion
to pay Wean people what they demanded, but on
f.ecurid thought I concluded tAat would be a little
too ridiculous.
"These people, " said I, "are mistaken In the man.
My name is not Smith. It in St. Clair. You may
have Ward ii,"
"Yea, I've heard It often,"- said the policeman
"It's a warn. nice sort o' a name, too, an' quite a
' favorite with some—not the sharpest sort, though.

In the black eft
"Oh, he did?" remarked the policeman. "Well,
Jones is a nice name, too. Do you want him. shut
right up, sir? It's too late to take him afore the
judge, now, ru know."
"No," said the gentleman; "give him every
chance. It hi "bout dinner-time now. We will go
to the house and confront him with the other board.
era, It's not too far."
"Since you will have It so, sir and ladles," said
1, "1 suppose I may as - well go with you. Especial
ly as 1 have plenty of leisure. But I prefer to take
a carriage, It you do not object—at my expense, of
course."
So ille policeman, the gentleman, and myself rode
Co Mrs. Jones' boarding-honse to Blanque street.
"We s hall take no unfair advantage of you, Mr.
Smith," said the gentleman. "Yon shall outer
the dining-room alone. The officer will remain to
the hull and listen: If the boarders receive you as a
stranger, very well ; 'but otherwlss---"
I °titled orders; entered the dining-room and
tock a scat at tke table.
"Wlay,tyou , re back soon, Mr. Etaillij" said a gen
tleman in spectacles at my left.
ALd then the hoarders all about the table looked

Letter Gott, Henry C. Carry
PUILADELPIIIA., AnguetlS6s
DEAR lu England ahoefly before the
outbreak of se,ea,tan, I had a long conversation
with an eminent economist, in the coarse of which
he was told that in default of the establishment et a
commercial policy looking to the creation of a do
mestic market tar the produce of our farms, we had
nothing but titttr ruin to look for In the future.
"1 regret to bear it," was his reply, "for we have ,
now become as strung-that we cannot again permit
you to have protection. It cannot and will not
be done." Sc far he was perfec , ly right, more Ciao
a dozen yenta of British tree trade !taxing than to far ,
eriteebled the nation at large, while strengthening
British traders and their Southern allies, as to ren
der it nearly if not quite impossible that any cluing,
in the direction of a tedionnt system could ever again
b' obtained. 'faire beto-e, In 18.f.*1 and itiV, had t
such changes been effected, bringing with them uni
cereal pros rity ; and yet, in neither case had they
been permi tted to be maintained for so touch as even i
half a dozen years, Now, le 1859, we had been for
more than decade in porsession of the California
mines, and daring all that thou had been pouring
nearly their whole product into the laps of the two
great manufacturing nations of Europe, Franco and
England, whose annual salts to us of products In the
forma of cloth and iron was counting, by hundreds
of millions of dollars, while their annual purchases
from ns of wheat, hour, corn, pork, hates,.
lucou
cad timber 'were then but little tours than ten MIL.
1i3t16, Tian Walbilta cents per head of a Onp•
alation that was thus being tepidly imriebed, while
our laborers and no:enables ,ere reduced to
beggary, and our ferment , forced to tneir corn
fur fuel, because noabled to °Mum or it even as
much as a single dime per bushel. 'I largte. 01 your
neighbors who may take the trouble to etudy these
facts will have but little trouble in understanding
how it was shit, oar southern frleocbi bcorrao oo
greatly strengthened as to Induce them so blindly to
rash upon secession.
Moat fortunate wail it for the nation at large that
they shonld have risked the perpetration of that act
of lolly, followed as it was by the abdication of so
many . southern Senators es enabled the north to
seize the reins and enter once again upon the di
rection of the machine of government. Forthwith,
protection became once again the law of the land,
and to the national system then I,tahlished it is due
that we have now again approached to sOmething
like a real independence. We have paid heavily,
both In property and life, for the freedom thnu ob
tained; and yet, great as has been the apparent sac
rifice at the north, and the real one at the south,
the nation, as a whole, 18 richer than It had ever
been before; while the number of our people, and
the general prosperity, are Increasing at a rate such
as until now has not been known. In, the whole
range- of history there is no example of national
freedom having heon so cheaply pnrehased.
To the system thee established we have been in
debted for the power succosfelly to make the war
that is Just now closed—a war of proportions so
'ligantic as to have astonished the world at large.
o lt, If It shall continue to be maintained, we shall
1 he Indebted for power to take among the nations
1 the plpee to which the number of our people, their
I universal intelligence, and the wonderful amount
of our national msourees so well entitle us. Shall It
be maintained? Shall protectlou be made eo efficient
as to tree our farmer from dependence upon those
I dis , ant tuarkets In wialeti foe the two past years, an
a consequence of their own productive harvest, food
has been a drug, and bread has been supplied at
prices lower than have been known within the
memory of lining man? Can our farmers now at
taut be brought to see that protection nominally
granted to the minor of coal, the smelter of ore, anti
`the weaver of cloth, is really protection to the pro
; ducer of fond and of wool? To these qnestions there
could, as I think, be but one reply, and that In the
affirmative, could they but be induced to stndy care
fully the history of the pr , t half century which I
propose now to give, us follows:
Flty years billet., the ereond war with Great
Britain came to a close, leaving our people well
provided with mills and furnne-s, all of which were
actively engaged In making demand for labor and for
raw materials of every kind. Money was t h an
abundant, and the public debt was trivial in
amount.
. .
Two years later we entered upon 11w British free
feuds system, and at once all was chsnged. Mills
and furnaces were closed, labor ceased to be In d&-
cicala, and our poorhouses were everywhere
Money becoming scarce and interest high, land de
clined to a third of Its 'cecinas price. Thinka atop
pea payment. The sheriff everywhere found fat:
demand for all has time, Bud mortgagees entered
e v erywbe re into poasession The rich were made
richer, but the farmer and the meshanic, and all but
the very rih, were ruined. Trivial as were then
the expenses of the government, the treasury
coal ? not inset them. Such was the stat , of things
cb a t Induced General Jackson to ask the question.
" Where has the American farmer a market for lily
aurplus prod ace?" The answer thereto, as given
by himsrttf, Is BO applicable to the present time that
I give it here as proper to read, daily and weekly.
be every farmer and planter throughout the whole
mope of these C e lled states:
•• Except for cotton, be has neither a foreign nor
a home market. Does not this elearly prove, when
there is no market either at borne or abroad, that
there In too much labor employed in agriculture.
and that the channels of labor should be multiplied?
Common sense at once points out the remedy.
Draw from agriculture the superabundant labor,
CIOPIOF it in mechanism and manufactures, thereb3
craning a home market for your breadatutts, and
distributing labor to a most profitable account, and
benefita to the country will retell. Take from age
rieulture In the United States six hundred thousand
teen. women, and childnin. and von at ono) rive a
home market for more hreadetuffs than all Europe
now furrishes es. In short, sir we have been too
l o ng subi s o to the pulley of the British merchants.
It is time we should become a little more American
ized. and, Instead of feeding the peepers and laborer.)
of E•)rope, feed our own, or else in a short time, by
continuing our present policy, we shall become pan•
To the state of things here described were we, In
1828 indebted for the first thoroughly national
tariff Almost from the moment of its passage, ac
tivity and life took the place of the palsy that pre-,
ylowdy had exinted. Furnaces and millsavere built :
labor came Into demand; initn'gratbm increased,
and so large became the demand tor the products
of the farm that our market, scarcely felt the effect
of changes in th a t of England ; the public revel)°,
an rapidly increased that it became necessary to ex
empt from duty tea, coffee, and many other articles;
and the public debt was fitally extinguished.
The history of the vvortXl-o that hour presents no
ease of prosperity so universal Ca that which litre
e xisted at the dale of the repeal of the great national
tariff of 1528 Had It been maintained In existence
we should now have had no accession war,
and at
this hour the south would (t idbit a state o f society
in which the land owners had become rich, while
their slaves had been gradually becoming free, with
profit to themselves, to their owners, and to the na
tion at large. It wag, however, repealed in IKI4,
and the repeal was followed by a i.CleeetlPM of
British free trade evince, the whole ending in 1841 in
n state of things directly the reverse of that above
described. Mills and ftt mares were closed; me
elitties• were starving: m 'm-y was soiree and dear:
Lod had fallen to half Its previous Prices; the sheriff
was everywhere at work ; hanks were In a stale of
suspension: States repudiated payment of their
dehta ; the Treasury was neatdod to borrow a dol
lar except at a high rate of Intereat, and bankruptcy
among merchants and traders was no universal that
Congress found itself eampylted soon after to pars
a bankrupt law.
A gain, and for the third time, protection was re
stored by the passage of the tariff art of 1842. Un
der It, in less; than five years, the production of iron
rose from 281,(00 to 800,01 X) tons; and an universal
was the prosperity that, large as was the Increase.
it (gas wholly Insufficient to meet the great demand.
Mims were everywhere being slink Mills were
e verywhere being bent. Labor was In great demand
and wages were high, as a eoesequence of which im
migration speedily trebled In its amount. Money was
abundant and cheep, and Ire sheriff found but little
work to do. Febbe and private revenues were
great beyond all pn•vious precedent, and throughent
the land there reigned a prosperity more universal
than had, In the whole history of the world, ever
before been known.
Once more, in 184., I, -greyer, did the Serpent—
properly represented on this occasion by British free
Waiters—make his wee into Paradise, and now a
ri..aen years Obliged, In the COUrde of which, not
withstanding the discovery of Califon!)a minis,
money commanded a rate of interest, bgher, as I
bs , ieve, than Ind ever brut 'mown in the country
for no tong a period of lime. - British iron and cloth
come In and gold went out, and with each successive
day the d.(pendenee of our Eirmers on foreign mar
kets became more complete. With 1857 came the
culmination of the system, merchants and manu
facturers being ruined, hunks bring compelled to
suspend payment, and the treasury being reduced to
a condition of bankruptcy nearly approaching that
as had existed ut the close 01 the free trade pe
riods, eornMeneing in 1817 and 1834. In the three '
1,211 i that followed labor was everywhere In execsa;
'awes were low; immigration fell below the point
et which it had stood twenty years is-fore; the home
tuarket for I diminished, and the foreign one
proved so Wlsrly worthless that to • annual export
to all the alatiohicturiog natioes of Europe, as i
have already stated, amounted to lint little more
than $lO,OOO 000.
The rebellion came, finding our people unemploy
ed, pubite and private revenues de cluing, the true, 1
nry empty, and the public credit greatly ltnpalred.
With It, however, came the power once again, and
for the fourth time, to obtain Protection for the
en who had food and labor for which they needed)
to obtain a market. That protection has now en
dured for but little morn than four yenta, and yet, eo
marvellous have been its elleLls that while It has
enabled us to glee to the government nearly four
thousand million of dollars, it has ao largely added
to the value of land and labor that, notwithstanding
the destruction of properly at the south, the nation,
as a whole, Is this day almost twice as rich as It ever
was before.
The history of the half century that I have thus
reviewed, may DOW more bristly thus be elated:
Protection ac csLiblish
rd In 1413, 18 . 28. and 1842,
gone, as that of IL4R is
ready to give to its tree•
t rads successor: Great de
nand fur labor: Wages
high and money cheap
Public and private reve
nues large : litimigratiOn
lree and steadily increas
ug: Public and private
prosperity great beyond
all previous pr.cedent :
and growing national in
dependence.
Such la the ht.tory of the past. Let our [arum's
study It, and they um, as I Mini:, understand the
mates of the prosperity of the pre :lent. That done,
ht them determine for themselves whether to go
forAurd in the direction of Individual and national
ludepenihmee, or In that of growing dependence,
both national and individual.
Wishing you much succeso In your patriotic ef
forts, I remain, very truly yours,

Surely God the Lord was with us,
In the school-hon•e just up there;
Did you hear the little children
Lisping such sweet words of prayer?
All without a heavenly halo,
And within a throne of light,
Where the King, with hosts of angels,
Caine to see the wond'rens sight ;
Came to hear them tell the story,
Of His never etfanging love;
Came to gee them odnt the glory
That was waiting them above.
Surely 'twas the Savior talking

SPEECH OF HON. HENRY 71180 N,
At the Great Masi Meeting In Philadelphia,
September 16th, 11b6.3.
The enthualuatic and long-continued applause with
which the speaker was received having somewhat
subsided, be spoke as follows
MIL CIIaWWI AtiD FM.LoW-Ctrizglits:—L thank
you sincerely for the kind welcome you have given
me. To be welcomed by the men of Philadelphia,
whose patriotism, whose liberality, whose devotion
to the country during the last four years is In the
heart and ou the tongue of the American people, in
a compliment of which any man may be proud.—
The Piave-holder.' rebellion, by the ballota of Amer
ican freemen, and the bullets of American soldiers,
hue gone down ; the rebel chlefa are imprisoned or
In exile; the rebel Confederacy lies proatrate nuclei
our feet; and the nation ‘tends before the world
stronger than when traitors raised their hands to
smite It. When the nation was plunged into the tire
and blood of elvil war, patriotism bade us to forget
party, and appeal to the heart and conscience of the
nation. But I now appeal to you, men of Philadel
phia, and Pennsylvania, you who in November last
carried your city and glade triumphantly for Abru.
'ham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, to stand where
you then stood. I ask every loan of you, from the
Delaware to the Ohio, to go to the ballot-box Li
October, and stand by your country now as yon
:food by It Then 'V, bullet tan g.nnto ito "lurk ,
the rebellion has gone down in tire and blood ; the
duty of statesmanship now beghas. Yon, men e:
Plilladr'rdila and of Pennaylvarlia, are called noon
now as strongly as you were culled upon lost No
vember to tool your ownir,ertd., and pot do vu eel)
els and rebel sympathis• ra forever. Five months
ago ypur city was draped in mourning; half a nut
lion of your people gathered In your streets with
tearful eyes and throbbing hearts for their murder
ed President, whose remains were then passing to
their last resting-place. You loved him; you glen
led In his renown, which was resounding over the
world. And why Ind you so love, so honor Atwahant
Lincoln? It was because Abraham Lincoln was the
leader of of the Repo blinan warty Malt, Unitea Statet.
[Great applause.] Though not yet ten years old,
the Republican tarty has indelibly written its name
upon the records of the country as the champion
liberty, humanity, jubilee, and patriotism. No party
since the dawn of the creation has done so much to
endear itself to the memory and the gratitude of
mankind as the Republican party of the United
States. There is the record. It Is a record that
speaks of patriotism, of liberty, and ofjustice. Due
leg no one moment of its existence has it ever stood
before the nation other than the representative of
the higher and better sentiments of the American
people.
Yon called Abraham Lincoln from his
home In reelected him In November last .
He was your chosen leader—the embodiment ot
your principles; and for being, as be was, true to
your principles, dying because of his fidelity to vont
principles,he has left a name second to no man of this
rftlffat, at'fr ettAbstuti. "ids t riiU ifoliestue 'by
side with you during the Is‘t four years of bloody
struggle can walk the earth to day proud and erect
in the consciousness that he is a member of a part)
which ever stood by the defenders of the old flag ;
a party which to day represents the Christian eivili
sat ion of America. [Applause.] Gentlemen, ar.
you prepared to still further trust yourselves—to
ly upon your principles and measures? Or will you
now, in the hour of victory, let the men who have
sympathized with the rebellion, who have denouns
ed the war, and sneered at your noble sentiments,
take possession of the Government of Pennsylva
nia and of the country ? I Cries of "No, never !"1
The Democratic party of the United States has
more claim to take the control of the Government
of Pennsylvania, or the Government of the Unit( et
States, than had the lodes of the Revolution to n.
stone control of the country after the achievement
of its independence. 11 the men who carried thi
country triumphantl tbrongh the last four bloody
years are true to th y
emselves, and faithful to ths
trust reposed la them, the Slave Democracy will
never more take possession of the Government et
the United Slates. Gentlemen, I ask you to true'
yourselves—to elect your awn men and stand be
your own principles. There are differences of opin
ion among is In regard to some 01 the measures vet
to tie decided. But let me remind you that the it..
publican party was born in free discussion, and th.d
it lives by an open and wanly exposition of public
questions , . And I would tell those who think that
the Republican party is destined to defeat because'
Its members happen to differ among themselves in
regard to some questions of public policy, that the
Republican party has differed before and won vic
tories, and will differ again and triumph • Its face iv
Zlonward, and it will still keep marching in the
right direction. By free discussion, the Republican
party will more cletrly distinguish truth from error
and solve all questions touching the prosperity t
the country and the rights of man in the light i,l
reason. [Great applause ] There are differences of
opinion in regard to reconstruction and suffrage --
I n my State w e are all one way—we are for recall)
for the future. [Applause ] We do not ask 'mien.
uity for the peat; there can be no indemnity for the
three hundred and twenty-rive thousand dead heroes,
whose lives were off:aed upon the altar of our cone
try ; there can he no indemnity to widows and or
phans—none. We can forgive the murderers of our
defenders, but we want security that our none shall
not he murdered In the future. litepeateri rounds
of applause, and cries of " That's so!"] We want
loyal men to govern America forevermore. [Cheers.]
In conversation with the President, the other day,
I asked hint whether he made any discrimination
between the men who elected him, on account of
their views on the questions of reconstruction and
suffrage? lie declared to me that he had "nest r
made any such discrimination, and did not intend
to make any such discrimination In the future
that he was "In favor of the fullest and freest dl.
mission on all the questions now agitating the pub
lien:dud." [Great cheering Gentlemen, so long
as we have free discussion. we ran go right on,
shoulder to 'boulder, striving to settle rightly the
questions thud are before us to be solved. I believe
now, as I believed during the war, that we will come
out of the contest victorious
Why,gentlemen, should we not have confidence
In ourselves? Look at the record, the glorious roc
ord see have made during Chula. at five years. We
have freed the capital of oar country forevermore.
We have written freedom on every foot of the terri
tories of the United States. We have wiped Irmo
the atatutesbook the fugitive slave law. We have
made good a proclamation that emancipated Mur
millions of men, and made the name of its au
thor the dearest DAUM of the nineteenth centurV.—
[Enthusiastic applause.] We have set apart ,he
public domain for the poor laboring men. [Ale
please I We have begun the great work of the Pa
cific railway. We have protected the Industries of
our people. [Applause] We have established n
m o ney system that makes every man holding a (fol
iar lu currency Intereeted to supporting the national
credit—a system that can scorn and defy the efforts
that may be made by demagogues to impair the
sacredness of the public debt of our country. [Ap
plause.] And bow is it with the Democratic party ?
Where does it stand to day? On every question vi-
tally affecting the interests 01 the country, It has
proved Itself recreant It attends before this nation
only as the enemy of a poor, despised, and. hated
race, but It Is not the champion of the rights and In
terests of the laboring men of this or any other
country. I say to you that the Republican ['arty,
as an orgnnization, stun& before the couniry the
er of any party that has ever appeared in the his
tory of the human family. Ido not say that RePtlll•
limns aro all good men—they have the weakness of
humanity—but I do say that their Ideas, their prio
ciplea, their sentiments, and their policy are bor
rowed from the New Testament and the Declaration
of American Independence. There are thousands
of noble men who still cling to the DemoOratic par
ty, yet I am constrained to any that the Democratic
party Is false to liberty, Justice, and Ittamardty.
am willing to meet any man In Philadelphia or In
Pennsylvania on this platform, and demonstrate that
yon cannot Bed, on any part of the globe,
al organization that has made a record daring the
last ten years so false to patriotism, to liberty, to
justice, and to humanity as the Democratic party of
the United States. Gentlemen, do you not know
that this was a Democratic rebellion ? Do too not

hellion, we* tired by a man who would vote the
Democratic ticket.
We want no revenge upon our southern pervi l .
I can say here, In the presence of Almighty God,
that, in spite of all their cruelty and outrages of she
last four years, I never hail an unkind sentiment in
my heart towards the people of the South. I look
ed upon them as mad and drunk with slavery ; that
it but poisoned the very fountains of their feelings:
that they had ru*lted Into are and blood to dash
great slaveholders' confederacy that was to
embrace as slaveholding States, Mexico, Central
America, and Cuba ,• that was to build up a great
Democratic slaveholding empire that should com
mand the tropical productions. To-day their ideas,
their principles, their measures—they, themselves- r -
he prostrate under the heel of American patriotism.
Since the morning of creation no set of men were
ever so subjugated, so conquered, so absolutely -
ground to powder, ns the rebels in the United States.
They are utterly prostrate at our merey, creeping
and crawling up the stairways of the Wb lte.House,
begging for a pardon I [Laughter.] They have
been punished 'tidiest beyond human endurance. If
I was mats bitter enemy I coati not sax for • great
er punishment upon them than that with which
they have already been visited. What we want of
them la simply this: we want this matter of reor
ganization to be to settled that It shall be settled
forever. Remember, gentlemen, that naught is Get,
tied that is not right. President Johnson can make
his name as dear to his countrymen as did the saint
ed Lincoln. The settling of the questioner mon
atruction will either bring honor or dishonor. I
have cOntldence In our ability to settle It right, and
in such a manner us to secure the safety, peace, and
honor of our country, and the rights of all men in
America, of every clime and race. [Applause.]
I ask you, men of Philadelphia; 1 ask you, men
who have contributed of your substance to establish
and maintain that noble institution whlchbas fed to
many hundreds of thousands of heroes passing then'
your city ; I ask you, whose liberality and patriot
ism commands the admiration of oar country, to
remember that in Ibis crisis you owe a duty to your
country to go to the ballot-box, and, In the words
of the murdered Lincoln, help to "keep the Jewel
ut linerty in the family of freedom." [Great ap

TES MOSBY PARTY.
Brig.-Gen. Collis, In his speech at the Philadelphia
meeting, on Saturday night, September 16th, hit .
upon a very appropriate name for the political aro
ioo i.e.-king to acquire power under the
cognomen of the " Democratic party." The follow
ing is a brief report of his speech :
If there are any soldiers present here to-night,
:4 sire to say a very few words to them. You are
called together to enroll your names once more in
the gnat cause of our country, and be again moister
ed into service to tight sympathizers with treason,
as faithfully with your ballots as you have fought
the traitors themselves with your musketa..,o,
The national Government wants voltmteens. The
" assembly "is sounded and we must fall In. By
and by we will hear the "attention," and our solid
I column must he formed ; and when we are ordered
" forward," on the 10th of October next, there must
be no stragglers; and I believe that before night,
" pack-up" will echo through the enemy's camp,
preparatory to an Ignominious retreat.
It seems to me not a little strange that It should
be deemed necessary to say anything to soldiers on
his subject. Is it believed that the men who have
imperilled their lives for the nation In times of war
will desert it in the midst otthat blessed peace which
their valor Inns won ? Never! Is it believed that all
the sophistry of which our wily antagonists are ca
pable can wean from cur battle- torn Hag one tittle of
our devotion? Never!
But, soldiers, It Isjust as well we should meet to
gether and calmly talk the matter over, to assure
ourselves that we are working In earnest.
You most not he deceived by the head and front
of the scsealliid Democratic ticket being dressed In
she national uniforms; you must not be decelVedby
tindin,g the enemy's columns of candidates heeded
by a couplo of your comrades. Didn't 3loseby play

approach you as a friend, and then strip you In ev
erything worth carrying away?
So It is with this modern Moseby party, who on
the 10th of nest month will approach you carrying
the stars and stripes, and led by a couple of blue
coats. When the head of their holumn appears I
want you to look well down its ranks, and
think you will find following in the rear as sorry,
and seedy, and hungry a set of graybacks as you ev
er set eyes upon between Petersburg end Appomat
tox Court House; and if you do not burl them back
upon their reserves in Virginia and South Carolina,
ltoseby-like they will rob you, soldiers, of the hard
earned fruits of your four years' toll.
Talk to me of their advocating an equalization of
bounties. Humbug! They would atrto you of all
you possess, and by depreciating the nationaLuredit
deprive the widow of your dead comrade of the
mite she now receives, as pension, from thenaLkmal
treasury.
Let me glee you a few reasons why, in my opin
ion, it becomes the solemn duty of every returned
veteran to vote with the National Union party:
First Because, when the question ' "B the soZ
dfees be allowed to rule!" was presented to the Peo - .
pie of Pennsylvania, the Union party devoted their
time. their voices, their influence, and their means
to secure for yon the exercise of that right, whilst
ills tiosehy party as faithfully devoted themselves
to deprive the soldiers of that sacred privilege.
Second. Because, through the evil Influences
of sympathizers of treason, who will, of course,
all vote the Moseby ticket, our final triumph
over armed rebellion was long delayed, thus causing
the useless sacrifice of thousands of the best citizens
of the Republic, who were your comrades.
Third. Because the linteby party, In convention,
assembled at Chicago Ito 4, when the National
Government required the hearty support of every
man, woman, and child in the nation, after carerul
and mature deliberation, announced to the whole
world (and especially to rebeldom,) that the efforts
of the dead patriots, who hart poured out their
hearts' blood to sustain the national honor, and the
patriotic efforts of the survivors who, with God's
help, still hoped to save the We of the Republic; had
been a miserable failure
Emtrilt. Because our Union Leagues, our Sanitary
Commissions, our Christian Commission, our Vol
unteer Ald Societies, and lastly, but not least, our
Volunteer Refreshment Saloons. were organized and
sustained by supporters of the Union party, and no
dollar of the so-called Democratic party ever found
its way into their treasuries.
Fifth. Because we believe that should the Mose
by party be successful, they will form an alliance
with the leading traitors of the South, endeavor to
repeal the law requiring members of Cone - testi to
swear that they have never given aid or comfort to
the rebellion, and thus securing the representation
they desire, will advocate a repudiation of the na
tional debt, and the payment of pensions to the
wounded soldiers of the recent Insurgent armies.
Sfrfh. Berens°, while we were absent, fighting
the good ila tit under Lincoln, Grant, and Sherman,
the Museby party carried in ridicule the effigies of
those devoted patriots through oar public streets.
Soesttk Because we desire the Moseby party to
understand that we repudiate their sympathy, as do
dared in their recent resolutions, for the simple
reason that loyal soldiers of the republic risk no
sympathy from those who have heretofore sympa
th'evd with their enemies.
Eighth. Became we will not vote for that party
which musters In Its ranks all the miserable cows
ards who secreted themselves to-avoid the draft, and
who now come out from their biding-places to ex
ercise that privilege of citizenship, of which they
sought to deprive you and me.
AIWA and lastly, because of the memory of our
murdered President, who In his earnest and patri•
otic Arcata to save the Union, was thwarted at ev
ery step by these same sympathizers with treason.
These are a few of the many reasons why you
should vote the Union ticket. Therefore, boys,
clone up the ranks; dress on the colon; let there
be no gap in the line, as It moves steadily forward.
Let us soldiers be true to our past history, and let
us once more save the day as we did in (lc:totter,
1814.
