The VOL. 9.-NO. 42. most successful leaders of public opinion are those who receive their commands from it, and it seems beyond doubt that the public mind tends to, and demands the formation Of, what may be called, on the. moment, 'a John son party.' ft It is a hopeful sign of the times that ut terances like these are not only common among individual Democrats, but are be ginning to be acted upon in good faith. We had so much profession and so little practice from these men during the rebellion, that what looks like a symptom of permanent political health deserves to be noted with honor. That shrewd observer, Thurlow Weed, wishes that the New York politicians had talked two years ago the way they talked at Albany last week, and thinks if they had so spoken, a good deal of money and a good many lives would have been thereby saved. But let us forget the unsavory past, and try to remember only the plain duties of the present. lam for joining hands with all good men in the honest fulfilment of these duties. That part of my old friend's letter in italics is evi dently his strong point. But there is a wide new field of work opened for the reformer now that slavery has been de stroyed. If it be true "that slavery was the strength and the weakness of both the great political parties," it is equally true that the end of that wickedness has imposed many new obligations upon these organizations. That they must be na tional to win and to wear I have already shown in this correspondence. I claim that the Union party is the only national party extant, but if the Democrats were all like the New Yorkers who nominated Gen. Slo cum at Albany last week there would then be a respectable rival for the honors. Unhappi ly, however, the Democrats of nearly all the other States are in deadly contrast and contra diction to the Snickerbockers—still adhere to the wretched sectionalism that fomented and forced the war, and are not even gen erous enough to give a little verbal praise to the President. Nay, so poorly impressed are they with the example of the New York ers, that they have not the courage to drop their factious pledges and follow it. There is one fact that all the politicians must accept before they begin to lay the foundations of their new temples, viz : The majority of the American people are resolved that slavery shall be bwried so deep that it shall woe strength en or weaken either party or country. This is not a condition to the formation of a party ; it is the condition of its existence. The men who accept that fact will carry the elections, whether they call themselves Republicans, Deinocrats, or Johnsonmen. The South ern people are at last made sensible of their obligations in the premises. Why should the Northern politicians attempt to keep it away from their hearts ? It is a great misfortune that these latter, even while they talk of the necessity of a national party, are still deluded by the hope that there is enough slavery left in the South to give them the victory in the elec tions; or, to state it more plainly, that by catering to the men who were made strong by slavery in other days, they may con trol the Government in the future. When this delusion has vanished from them, as it has from the Southern people, . they will be prepared to build up a truly national Democracy. Antecedent to this, however, they must induce their party as sociates everywhere, to join with them in honest professions of principles. It is a sorry beginning of a national party to have the Democrats of only one State talking anti promising loyalty, while their brethren of nearly all the Others revel in. the rankest copperheadism. WASHINGTON. CSpeeial - Despatottes to The Press.] WASHINGTON, September 17,160. Florida and Itestoration. The intelligence from Florida indicatea rapid progress in the way of reorganization . The northern district at the-time of the break down Of the rebellion was a part of " The De partment of the South." At that time it was occupied by three regiments, two of colored, and one of white troops. The white regi ment was subsequently mustered out. All the interior garrisons are now ccimposed of negro troops, principally recruited in Philadelphia. The vexed questions of com pensation for colored labor, trial by jury , rights of witnesses, marriage, Sm., were early met and settled in Florida. Gen. Voeims admi nistered martial law wisely but firmly. Under his rule, subsequently adopted by Provisional Governor litAnynkl, planters made contracts to secure the gathering of the crops, and when the freedmen and their old masters could not agree the dispute was left to referees chosen in the usual manner. Planters were also authorized to procure labor when it was most advantageous to them. No restraint was placed upon the freedman hiring himself when it was most to his interest. Va grancy was stopped ; idle persons, who would not work, were set to labor. The Military Commission tried offences fairly, taking testimony of white and black. In some cases planters have been acquitted on the tes timony of their former slaves. Orderhas been enforced easily. At no time has Florida been so peaceful. The planterS are generally recon cited to the new condition of affairs. The freedmen are happy and industrious. The colored troops are obedient, and satisfied in their officers. Intelligent men have been sent to the plantations to explain the change in the political s.tatua to the former masters and slaves, with admirable results. Large crops of corn will be raised, enough to supply the State, and to leave a large surplus for ex portation. The election for delegates to the State COnvention called by Governor 3.1.1.avin will take piece on the lath of October, and the convention itself will meet on the 25th of the same month. The only annoying question is that of colored suffrage, but it is believed that Governor Mica - N - 11es views, in his well-known speech, will be o,mbadiefl in something like a qualified system, based on property or intel ligence. My informant concludes by stating that the State should never be allowed to re vert to the people until the condition of the freedmen is specifically settled. it** 6, The Oath." The over-sensitive, who dread the return of the rebels to power, must not forget that, apart from other obAacles, there is_ a double protection against any such calamity. There is not only the oath adopted by the States of Maryland, Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Sm., but the oath of Congress, more potent than these, if that is possible, standing like grim and inexorable fate to prevent that danger. The Lupardoned Leaders. Nor should good men in the North, who keenly recollect the hell•born treason of the elaveholders, and the hundreds of thousands of precious lives it- cost, fail also to reinentbei, that the President has pardoned very few of the authors of the rebellion. Colonel JAmss L. CM, of South Carolina, waited for three months before he got his pardon. Fmirr WAtuan, of Alabama, has been here for weeks, and is not yet pardoned, and though 11. M. T. Iltrivrim has made a nUmber of efforts, no favorable reply has yet been returned to hi.M. It may be added that many of the most active of the late rebels refuse to ask to lie relieved from the penalty they have incurred, not only because they know this would be in vain, but because they know they could do no good among their people. CBy Associated Press.] The Letter er Major General Melgs . - It appears that the clerk who copied Major General Mums' recent note on Fort Pickens, accidentally transferred a sentence, which somewhat alters the relations and sense Of several of the paragraphs. His note is-in no respect an answer to Fox's statement, in which ho finds nothing contrary to the facts, and no charges or inferences against the Secre tary of State. In using the words, "the article is grotsly unjust to the Secretary of State," he referred not to Fox's statement as published in the Times, but to the editorial article in the Tribuve, which he says dreiv inference:3 from Captain Fox's stateinent and its accompany'- mg documents, which that statement and those demi:tents completely refute. For four years association with Captain Fox, General almos has ever found him ani mated by an active and pure patriotism, ieady to do justiee to all who are trying to serve our country and seeking its advantage to the neglect of his own. [We have made the correction indicated and the letter will be found in another column: —ED. PRESS. Counterfeit Notes.

Another of the family, EMJAH Ihrnetr, was arrested yesterday. They are charged with the larceny of and marking Government horses with the brand "S," and it is stated that they were caught in the act. Already General BAkan's force have recovered over thirty horses so marked, supposed to be with the same 'brand. General DANCE stated that there would be no objection to turning the parties over to the civil courts at once if they could be tried immediately, or they would be turned over to be placed under bail. It is pro bable that they will be turned over in a few days to the civil authorities at Alexandria. The Eight hour Movement. Last night there was a convention of dele gates from twenty different trades and work iugmen's associations of Washington, to take into consideration the proposition that eight hours shall constitute a day's work. They ap pointed a committee to publish an address to the workingmen throughout the country, and to take measures for a national convention in furtherance of the object. The President on Saturday pardoned six Alabainiane, two Kentuckians, One Virginian, And one Tesan. The doors of the White House are again besieged to-day by.pardon-seekerS.

For over two years he has worked seventeen hours every day. it is not known that any [of the Government employ& are ambitious of following his example of in dustry. It is true that information was received here not long since that President JUAREZ had fled to El Paso from Chihuahua, but, from the tenor of the same adviees, it does not fol low that the fortunes of the Liberals are irre trievably destroyed. However that may be, it is certain that there is no change in the policy heietofore declared by our Govern ment in relation to Mexican affairs. The Mississippi Amended Constitution.

OCCASIONAL Juarez About to Leave the Republic HE INTENDS ISSUING A PROTEST AGAINST ,THE FRENCH INVADtRS BEFORE LEAVING. EL PASO, STATE OF CHIHUAHUA,' MEXICO, August 15, 1865. ESpecial Correspondence of Tile Press. 3 I wrote you a letter a few days ago from this Place, giving you the latest phase of the Maxi milian or Juarez, the empire or republican dueSMOn in Mexico, in which I stated that the Juarez party were on their last legs, almost ready to give up the ghost. This is the "jump ing off" place, the Rio Grande forming the only barrier to a precipitate retreat into the United States. The Correa, received here last night from the city of Chihuahua, a distance of two hundred and seventy-live miles, brings the intelligence that President Benito Juarez is on the eve of leav ing ifie Republic for the United States,bringing up at the elk?, of New York, where his family now re• sides. Before leaving Chihuahua, it is said, he will draw up a protest against the French invaders, and submit his cause to the decision of the ci vilized world. Ile contends that he is legiti mately the President of Mexico, according to the plan of Ayutla; that he is a native of Mexico, a full-blooded Indian, a lineal descend ant of Montezuma, the first emperor, who was dispossessed of WS throne by Hernandee Cortes, the invading Spaniard, shortly after the discovery of the country by Christopher Columbus; that when the independence of Mexico from Spain was acknowledged by nearly all the powers of Christendom, and the Constitution of 182.1 went into exist ence as the organic law of the Republic, and Nicholas Bravo elected <the first Pre sident, the fundamental principle engraft ed On the written document was that all citi zens, including Spaniards, mixed breeda, dians and negroes, were eligible to the Presi dential ofilee—no distinction being drawn on account of color—that by the plan of Ayutla, upon the depositkm of Ignacio Comonfort from the presidential oillee ' he being Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, regularly elect ed, succeeded to the office of Chief Magistrate according to the provision therein set forth, and that in 1800 he was duly elected President of the Republic, the asseveration and chant of Miguel Miramon (who relied on the plan of Tucabaya) to the contrary notwithstanding. True, by force of arms, Miguel Miramon helid the capital of the country, exercising the oiffee of President, and acknowledged by Several of the European powers, but that he occupied he role Vera Cruz, and was recognized by Robert M. McLane, Mr. Buchanan's Minister from the United States, with whom he concluded a com mercial treaty highly favorable to the Ameri can Union, and granting • the right of way for railroad privileges through the States of Chi huahua and Sonora, with a protectorate over the same, the United States agreeing to loan Juarez four mii/unis of dollars, But this treaty, which pledged the United States to his sup port, was defeated by the Senate. Miramon, the Church-party President, says Jews was selected by bayonets and not by bal lots, and that not One-fourth of the legal voters of the Republic are in his favor. Miramon disappears from the stage of action, and ,French bayonets ejects Juarez from the capi tal, when a Congress of Notables meet (a kind of political junta), who And a deputation to Europe and invite Maximilian, of the House of llapsburg, to assume the reigns of govern ment as Emperor. Thus stands this vexed question. We have the "Monroe Doctrine , ' announced as the rule of interpretation by the United States ; and now comes the ques tion, who shall decide when doctors disagree? If the "Monroe Doctrine' , is enforced, then a war with France is inevitable, because Louis Napoleon has declared that French blood shall flow in torrents before he is driven out by force of arms ; but that he is willing to sub mit the whole question, with all its intricate phases, to the calm decision and arbitrament of an international Congress composed of im partial judges, and abide its award. I am gratified to learn from Mr. H.l. Cuniffe, the American consul here, that the Southern rebellion and slavery are completely "crushed out," and that the American Union still sur vives in all its original power and graltdcar, The contest has been terrific, but freedom has triumphed at last. I am sorry to hear that John Mitchell, for whom I entertained &high regard in other days, has played or rather acted such a shabby part in America. Instead of dedicating his fine talents to the Rights of Man, he became the chanpion of the Oppressor; the friend of Slavery instead of Liberty. His folly has been great and his punishment must entail a cor responding weight of odium to embitter his erratic and unfortunate career. This should serve as a lesson to Irishmen to preserve their ballast and not suffer their minds to Sway to and fro lilm the pendulum of a clock ; to sutler derision and scorn where they might gain laurela and honors of the highest grade.

PATRIOTIC LETTER OF MAYOR HENRY On Saturday evening the initial meeting of the friends of the Union party was held at National Hall, at Thirteenth and Market streets, to ratify the nominations recently made by the State and city conventions. Throughout the city posters had been pre pared and set up, and early in the evening the throngs of citizens could be. seen wending their way to the common centre of attraction. But a few minutes elapsed before the hall was filled to overflowing everyseat was occupied, and standing room was not to be obtained. A band of music was in attendance r and during the evening performed a numberof patriotic airs which were rapturously received. Shortly before eight o'clock the meeting was called to order by John Cessna, Esti, He dolivored the following address ; ADDP.ESS OF JOHN CESSNA, figg Citizens of Philadelphia: We are about to organize the first mass meeting of the politi cal campaign of 1895 in the Keystone State: It is right and proper that this work should com mence in the great metropolis of onr common wealth. The city whose sons are among the first to respond to the call of their country, whose means have contributed so largely . for the last four years to the cause of the Union, whose fires of patriotism have constantly burned brightly through the whole night of gloom anti darkness, and whose patriotic daughters have been ever hastening to• the field of battle, before the smoke of the battle had passed away, to care for the wounded and alleviate the pangs of the dying, may well be among the first to declare her position on the great issues raised by the war and now-- pre seated for adjustment by the American people. One year ago and the representatives of great political organization, in National Con vention assembled, pronounced the war for the preservation of the Union a failure ' • and the papers, speakers, and leaders of that or ganization, during the entire campaign of lati, proclaimed that war eOuld not restore the Union, that the re-election of our late la mented and patriotic President, Abraham Lincoln, would protract the struggle, fill the land with untold horrors, and finally over throw and destroy the republic of our fathers and rear a great military despotism on its ruins. The friends of the Government boldly and fearlessly met the issues thuS presented. The people, by their verdict at the polls, by a majority unprecedented in the history of the republic, recorded their will. The enemies of liberty in foreign lands stood appalled at the result. The friends of the Union everywhere took new courage. Rebels trembled, and the heart of the rebellion grew sick and sank in the bosom of treason, and the friends of trai tors in our own midst hid themselves away, and many of them deny now that they ever ad vacated the doctrines, or made the prophecies which composed the entire burden of their songs of 1864. The war is now over. The promises and pledges of our friends, made in 1864, have all been kept and fulfilled, Those of our political adversaries have all been dissipated, and proved hollow, delusive and false. Thanks to the heroism, courage and skill of American soldiers, sailors and officers, and to the God of battles, our nation is saved and the good old republic of our fathers still lives. Sweet peace has. again spread her gentle wings over our once happy and still beloved land. The sound of trumpets, the roar of cannon, the noise of musketry, the tread of armies, the victorious cheers of our brave soldiers, and the sad and sickening groans of the wounded are no longer heard throughout our borders. To-day our nation stands forth more bright than ever before as a beacon to the down trodden and oppressed throughout the world, as a terror to the tyrants of the earth, as an asylum to the oppressed of all nations, and as the wonder and admiration of the lovers of liberty everywhere. The issues of the coming political struggle in Pennsylvania are already made up. The importance of a p - yoper settle. meat and determination of these issues cannot be estimated. The past history as well as the present position of our State entitle and will secure for her great weight in the settle ment of all questions of national policy. The representatives of the political organization with which you are supposed to sympathize declared as follows: "The Union party of Pennsylvania, in State Convention assembled, declare : That as representatives of the loyal people of the Commonwealth we reverently desire to offer our gratitude `to Almighty God, whose favor has vouchsafed victory tothe na tional arms, enabled us to eradicate the crime of slavery from our land, and to render trea son against the republic impossible forever more ; and next to Him our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to our brave soldiers and sailors, who, by their endurance, sacri fices, and illustrious heroism, have secured to their country peace, and to the downtrodden everywhere an asylum of liberty; who have shown that the war for the restoration of the Union is not a failure, and whose valor has proven, for all time, the fact that this govern ment of the people, by the people, for the people, is as invincible in its strength as it is beneficent in its operation." In contrast with the doctrine here stated, the representatives of our political opponents, in convention recently assembled, have also-pre sented a platform of their principles. In sub stance and effect they have declared that " war existed as a fact upon the advent of the successful party, in 1890, to the seat of power ;" that "slaughter, debt, and disgrace are the results of our late civil war;" that theassassins of our late President were murdered by mili tary-'commissions, and no more murders of the lilted will be permitted, whether it be the Anderaonville butcher, the importer of loath some diseases, or the great second Lucifer who now chafes and foams in his cell at Fortress Itionroe and who for so long a time has been their beau ideal of a stern statesman and a Christian gentleman. They add, in express terms, that "tine men and the party adminis tering the Federal Government since 1861 have betrayed their trust, violated their sacred ob ligations, disregarded the commands of the , fundamental law, corruptly squandered the I public money,perverted the whole government from its original purpose, and thereby have brought on untold calamities upon the coun try." The measures of the Administration of , Abraham Lincoln were submitted to his coon ' trymen at the election of /Sal, for ratification or condemnation. It would seem as if a de; cent respect for the opinions of their fellow men might have prevented the folly and ma lignity of the so-called Democratic convention at Harrisburg, as exhibited in the adoption of their platform. It is perfectly manifest that they have not accepted the results of the war, nor are they prepared to bow to its decrees. Again, fellow-citizens, they have forced upon you these issues. It will be for you to decide by your action inthis campaign, whether the war just closed shall produce substantial re sults, or whether all the blood and treasure of the nation have been expended and shed in vain. We intend to be merciful, but oor tummy must be tempered with justice. We ask not, we wish not vengeance. But indiscriminate mercy to the enemy is danger and injustice to ourselves. - - Whenever and wherever our late adversa ries come in a true spirit of sorrow and eepen tance, sheathe the sword, and ipromise to obey the law in the future, we will extend to them the right hand of fellowship and forgive them for the past. After they shall have given us sufficient security for the future time, y a satisfautory probation, we will then—bat not till then—restore them to the enjoyment of all the inestimable rights and high privi leges which they so recently, so defiantly, and so causelessly trampled under their feet. For the detlant and unyielding rebel; for him who keeps his sword still drawn,, reeking with the blood of our brothers : for him who refuses to accept and submit, in good faith, to the results of the war; for all those who glory in the part they took in the rebellion; who still insist that they were right and the nation wrong, we have Confiscation and loss of citizenship ; and It, in the end, nothing else will cure, we must have banishment or the halter. The money spent, the lives lost, the cripples the widows and orphans made such by the war, planned, commenced and .waged by trai tors, as well as the security, safety and future peace of the nation, an requike at least this much at our bands. They shall receive all that justice and safety will permit us to grant. Our treatment of them shall be moulded and shaped by their actions and conduct towards the nation. in ell eases where they adopt, ad here to, and carry out, in good faith, the policy of reconstruction generously otfered them by President Johnson, we will cordially welcome them as returning brothers into the great fami ly. But if they come with hatred and bitter ness, and only that they may the better re store themselves to power so as to accomplish those original designs, by political manage ment, which they failed to secure by the hazard of battle, justice to ourselves, duty to the coun try and to posterity require that we shall keep them in a position to prevent harm. By the valor and patriotism of our brave soldiers, and by the help vouchsafed by that Providence which has always watched over and protected our nation, we have proved to Cho world that the whole host of rebels in the South, with the aid of all their foreign friends and 'Northern. sympathizers, have been unable to resist the power of our country or successfully vie with her armies on the tleid of battle. By the help of the same brave men, and with the blessings of the same Providence, we do not mean that their John Mosebys and Wade liamptons shall be permitted to rule the councils of the nation. Our political adversaries were the first to de mand for the rebels helligerent rights. Our enemies abroad united in the demand. TO save the lives of our prisoners, and from mo tives Of humanity, we are obliged to yield to the demand. Now that the war is over, these are the first men to demand that they shall be released from all the Liabilities and responsibilities of belligerents. By the law of nations it has been long and well set tled that in every unjust war the victor may exact indemnity for the past and security for the future. So may the victor hold his adver sary in -the military grasp until he has ac cepted the result, and until security against all future danger shall have been exacted and obtained. 7t is to he expected that our politi cal adversaries will object. Yet who but they can object that the widows and orphans of the land should be supported by the authors of the calamitiesi Who but they will object that the welinded soldier who lost his ability to support and maintain himself shall be aided and supported by the wickedness which brought the injury upon him? Who but they will object that the vast debt created by the work el treason shall be at least partly paid and discharged by the traitors themselves! They tell us the innocent in the South, and the women and children of the South will stiller. They forget that such is the result in all wars, and never once think that the inno cent and the women and children of the North suffer from the war of treason. l'et these are the men who are now striving to secure the votes of the soldiers of Pennsylvania. When volunteers were needed for the army, they were opposed to volunteering. Drafting was the fair way—only Democrats would volunteer —in the draft all would have a fair chance. When the draft came they were violently op- Posed to the three hundred dollars commu tation clause. That was a discrimination against the poor man. The rich would all buy out, and only the poor would go. When the commutation clause was repealed, they became more clamorous, because the only chalice for the poor man was now taken away; he must now go, •while the rich man could get a substitute. For a time it was a negro war, and no white man should go. When negro troops were called for they were aroused to the highest state of indigna tion. " The South wouieLnevcr stand it. It is an evidence of our weakness. If you cant con quer them with white troops, you never can with negroes.” Thus they continued during the whole, four years of the war. No single measure of the Government eves received their approbation. No matter what course might be adopted they were found in opposi tion. Are these the men to be now placed in power? Are they to control the Government of this nation? The late administration,_ recently endorsed by a ruatiority of four hun dred thousand at the ballot box, is still by them denounced and abused. They clamor . only for the rights of rebels. They forget than by the very act of war all who en gaged In it forfeited all that rights they ever had under the Constitution which they were trying to overthrow. The very instant war commenced, under the laws of war and the law of nations, all obligations, contracts treaties, and stipula tions between the belligerents -were at an end. g Sl i t w ll in th g ou eSe t settlement meat questions of . o tj f e thi e s nto war f ilhteleeftgl' in thehands those by whom the war was carried to a suc cessful issue, or shall it pass into the hands of those who opposed it from the beginning!

It will be for you to say whether the fruits of the war are only debt, disgrace, and slaughter, or - whether they shall add to the glory, renown, greatness and power of our common country. lie then presented the following list of offi cers of the meeting; PRESIDENT. llenu D.

He said : I thank you sincerely for the honor of being called upon to preside at this meet ing of the Union men of Philadelphia. We have Met to inaugurate a contest, in which are involved all the great priridiplee for which the Union armies have been lighting the bat tles of death for the last four years. Although our armies have been victorious, and haye con quered the rebels and traitors, and th^loody footprintS Of War are no longer devastating our fair land, yet the great question and issue in. volved in and arising out of that war have yet to be adjudged by the power of the country as represented by the National and State Ad ministrations. The question we are called upon to decide, is to whom we shall leave the adjudication and settlement of these issues. Shall we give it to the friends of the cause, who have stood by the country through all the dark and stormy hours of the rebellion, to those who have sustained and upheld the Ad ministration in all its measures and policy for the suppression of the most wicked and causeless rebellion ever known i or shall we leave the settlement of these ques tions to the political friends of those re bels and traitors who have been in arms against our country. [Cries of "No, no." There is no need of discussing this fact. I take the broad issue that the rebels and trai tors who commenced this unholy rebellion were the leaders and managers of the Demo cratic party at the South ; and I further de clare that the leaders and managers of that famed party in the Northern States, were the friends and apologists of those rebels and traitors, all through the war. They now oc cupy the same ground, and are demanding that their rebel friends shall have the same political rights and privileges which they en joyed before the rebellion. They cannot gainsay that. If you put that party, in power now in the Northern States, my word for it, you will. reinstate again in pa litical power in this country that same gouth ern disloyal party who fired upon our flag at Sumpter, and has since deluged the land with the blood of our sons during four years of desolating war. These are the issues - upon which the coming eieetiOn in our State will have a great and controlling lutluence. Let us see to it, then, that we remain firm and stead fast by the Government and the Union; and we can do this by supporting that:party which has so valiantly upheld that Union through the darkest days when treason and rebellion stalised unkebuked in the land; which has throughout the rebellion carried the dear old deg, and triumphantly kept step to the music of the. Union. The resolutions were then read. They are as follows: REgOLIVVIONS. I. Resolved, That we reverently thank trod for the courage and wisdom with which lie inspired our Statesmen and soldiers for the complete crushing of the vile slaveholders' rebellion, for the glorious and successful close of our country's great struggle, and for the bright prospects of futurepeace and pros perity which now gladdens all hearts. 2. Pseobutd. That while we have ovetyfeonfidenCe in the integrity and wisdom of President Johnson, we trust to his own glorious record, to that of the great statesmen, his constitutional advisors, who so nobly stood by the country and his martyred pre decessor in the terrible hour of trial, and to the pa triotic Congress about to assemble, to maintain that treason is a Ohne which RU/St be punished, and that such guards most be thmiwn around the future as trill futile another rebellion impossible • 3. Resolved, That the constant reduction of our - State debt, during the term of office of Governor Curtin, proves his judicious andihonest manage ment of the State enrolees, while his patriotic and unwearied ex• rtions for the Union cause, and ror the comfort and well-being of_eur soldiers 4 claim our lastinggratitude. 4. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the nomi nation by the Union State Convention of those gal lant soldiers, Hartranft and Campbell; for the high Cat Offices at present in the gift of the people of Pennsylvania, and will do all in our newer tO *O.C4Te 'their triumphant election. 5. Resolved, That we ratify and confirm the Union - nominations for our city, county and Legislative offices, bellevin,q that such gentlemen as 310.11- otao, Burnell, l: •• Brewster, Given, Mann, anti Wolbert, must be successful by large majori ties, not only for the patriotic , principles and wise measures which they represent, but a sO On account of their own individual merit. 6. Resolved, That the American people owe a deep debt of gratitude to the brave men.to fought in their defence, and are bound to make ample provi 1310D for their future comfort by liberal pensions, 4.qualization of bounties, nod the elevation to offices of trust and prollt of those found qualified. 7. Resotred, That the local interests of our city demand that it should continue to be governed by the same high principles and inflexible Impartiality in matters of pollee which have characterized the talministration of the present Mayor, and it is. therefore, acause for congratulation that the Union sandidate for the position, our highly.esteemea fel- . low-citizen, MortonMCMlelmel, Esq•, is wc/I"known to possess all the integrity of purpose, the intel lectual power, the business the untiring assiduity, and the devotion to order and good go vermin nt so conspicuous in Mayor Henry. 8. Raro &eel, That in every measure for raising revenue great care should he exercised to afford all possible protection to American Industry, 9. Resoeveq, That the free-trade doctrines so per sistently and obligingly urged upon us by the Bri tish aristocrats who preyed upon our couunerce in the time of our tronide,and took every Mean advan tage of our misfortunes, have no just claim to the respect or consideration of the Americanpeople. to. Reached ; That the Constitution of tne united States is not a compact between independent Save. reigntles,hut the fundamental law of a great nation. IL Resolved, That the pestilent doctrine of State rlights,as announced by the Virginia abstractionists of '9B, anal now advocated by the so-called Demo cratie party, was the chief source of the strength and early successes of the rebellion, and should be indignantly - reprobated by all good citizens as the ninth cuss of the untold sufferings of our gallant FOldien,_and of the loss to our country of tens of thousands of valuable lives and thousands of mil lions of property. SPEECU of EX-GOVERNOR POLLOCK% The president then introduced ex-Governor Poliock, who spoke in substance as follows : Although the war was ended so far as. the clash and din of arms was concerned, yet the light is as deep in its intensity,as strong in its reality, and tremendous in its consequeneeM as when army met army in deadly conflict% and life after life 3 5 Med. away in deanCe.Qt liberty and law, country and union.

[Applause.] trwwaslame dom's best friend, and his couiatry'ssavioar iii the hour of danger. Ile stiMek the shackles from the slave, and the day has come . when not the clank of a chain is dears thrOughout glorious and redeemed America. The' rebel lion is crushed, and the slaveliOlders arwsuing abjectly for pardon. The Union must though every traitor die, Wernalet teach the South and the world that there is an Ameri can nation, and not a confederation or part nership of sovereignties. It was the custom with the Southern orators, such' as John C. Calhoun, in speaking of the country, not to say the United States but these United Staten, thus implying a division. We hare Vindicated that secession is a crime and coercion a duty, and thus exploded the idea of the old' inbecile who said that a State had no right to secede, and that the United. States had. no constitu tional power to prevent , secession. Intim lan guage of President Johnson, " Treason is a crime that must be crushed." The Democratic party, the party of peace, have put a soldier On their ticket, and thus they belie their own , de clarations. They have villified the defenders of the Union, and now they ask the. suf frages of the men they have persistent ly denounced. They want to cloak over their treason with assumed loyalty and devotion, but it is the old story. It is the don key in the lion's skin, and the first sound they utter betrays them, as the donkey betrayed himself by braying whenhe attempted to roar in his assumed charaetar. The party of the Union ogres you soldie,rs, men who have fought for its idea, and foremost among them is General ltartranft. [Cheers.] It was only the other day that I saw a vile sheet de nounced him as a murderer. Of whom? I looked, and there in Nur letters was the name of Mrs. Surratt. So e was her murder er. [Laughter.] r, ecauze a soldier in the dis charge of the noblest duty an American ever performed vindicated the power and majesty of the law in the execution of the most vile and devilish set of criminals the world ever saw, he must be denounced as a murderer. I suppose next they will be asking a pardon for Wirzc, in defiance of the war-martyrs who will come from their graves and tell of the horrors of the prison pen at Andersonville. REMARKS OF HON. NB NWT' WILSON, OF MASSA.. 12E3E2 The enthusiastic and long-continued ap plause with which this speaker was received having somewhat subsided, he spoke as foe lowe Mr. Chairman and Fellow-eitizens: I thank you sincerely for the kind welcome you have given me. To be welcomed by the men of Phi ladelphia, whose patriotisme whose liberality, whose devotion- tothe country during the last four years is in the heart and on the tongue of the American' people, is a. compliment Of which any man may be proud. The slave holder's rebellion, by the ballots of American freemen, and the bullets of American soldiers, has gone down ; the rebel chiefs are impri sonel or in exile; the rebel Confederacy lies prostrate under our feet;. a . 1 the nation stands before the world stronger than when traitors raised their bands to smite it. When the n ation was plunged into the - nre and blood of civil war, patriotism bade us forget party and appeal to the heart and conscience of the na tion. But I now appeal toyom men of Philadel phia, end Pennsylvania, you who in November last carried your city and State trirompluintly for Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, to stand where you then stood. I ask every man of you, from the Delaware to the Ohio, to go to the ballot-box in October, and stand by your counta'y now as you stood 'by it then. The bullet has done its work ; the rebellion has gone down in fire. and blood;: the duty of statesmanship now begins. You, men of Phila delphia and of Pennsylvania, are called upon now as strongly as you were called upon last November to trust your own friends, and put down rebels and rebel sympathizers forever. Five months ago your city Wag draped in mourning ; half a million of your people gathered in your streets with tearful eyes and throbbing hearts for their murdered Presi dent, whose remains were then passing to their last resting-place. You loved. him ; you gloried in his renown, which Was resounding over the world. And why did you solove, so honor Abraham Lincoln?' It was because Abraham Lincoln was the embodiment of the patriotism, the love of liberty, the sense, of justice, and the humanity of America. It Was because Abraham Lincoln was the leader of the Republican party of the Uuited States. [Great applause.] Though not yet ten years old, the Republican party has indelibly writ ten its name upon the records of the country as the champion of liberty, humanity, justice 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 of justice. During no one moment of its exist ence has it ever stood before the nation other than the representative of the higher and better sentiments of the American people. You called Abraham Lincoln from his Illinois home in lace—you re-elected him in November last. He was your chosen leader—the emboli mom, of your principles; and for being, as he was, true to your principles, dying becauSe of his fidelity to your principles, he has left a name second to man of this century. [Long continued applause.] Every Republican, every Union man that has stood side by side with you duringthe last four years of bloody strugglecan walk the earth today proud and erect in the gonsciousness that he is a member Of a party which ever stood by the defenders of the old flag . ; a party which to-day represents the Christian civilization of America. [Applause.] Gentlemen, are you prepared to still further trust yourselves—to rely upon your pyince pies and measures? Or will you now, in the hour of victory, let the men who have sympa thi zed with the rebellion, who have denounced the war, and sneered atyour noble sentiments, take possession of the Government of Penn sylvania and of the country? [Cries of "NO, never!"] The Democratic perty of the United States has no more Claim to take the control of the Government of Pennsylvania or the Government of the United States than had the tories of the Revolution to assume control of the country after the achievement of its bides pendenee. If the men who carried this coun try triumphantly through the last foot bloody years are true to themselves, and faithful to the trust reposed in them, the Slave De mocracy will never more take possession of the Government of the United States. Gentlemen, I ask you to trust 'yourselves—to elect your own men and stand by your own principles. There are differences of opin ion amon us in regard to some of the mea sures yet t g o be decided. But let me remind you that the Republican party was born in free discussion, and that it lives by an open and manly exposition of public questions. And I would tell those who think that the Iteptibitean 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 victories and will differagainLin and triumph; its face is 'Zionward, and it will still keep marching in the right direction. By free dis cussion, the Republican party will more clear ly distinguish truth from error and solve all questions touching the prosperity of the country and the rights of man in the light of reason. [Great applause.) There are differ ences of opinion in regard to reconstruction and suffrage. In my State we are all one way— e are for security for the future. [Applause.] We do not ask indemnity for the past; there can be no indemnity for the three hun dred and twenty-five thousand dead heroes, whose lives were offered upon the altar of our country ; there can be no Indemnity to widows and orphans—none. We can forgeye the mur derers of our defenders, hut we want security that our sons shall not be murdered in the future. [Repeated rounds of applause.] We went loyal men to govern America, forever more. (Cheers.] In conversation with the President, the other day, I asked him whether he made any discrimination between the men who elected him, on account of their views on the questions of reconstruction and suffrage? Ile declared to me that he bad never made any such discrimination, and did not in tend to make any such discrimination in the future ;" that he was " in favor of the full est and freest discussion on all the questions now agitating the public mind." [Great cheer - Mg.] Gentlemen, so long as we have free dis °melon, we can go right on, shoulder to shoul der, striving to settle rightly the questions that are before us to be solved. .T. believe now, as I believed during the war, that wo will come out of the contest victorious. Why, gentlemen, should we not have confi dence in ourselves? Look at the record, the glorious record wo have made during time last five years. We have freed the capital of our country forevermore. We have written free dom on every foot of the territories of the United States. We have wiped from the sta tute-book the fugitive-slave law. We have made good a proclamation that emancipated four millions of men, and made the name Pitts author the dearest name of the nineteenth century. [Enthusiastic applause.] We have set apart the public domain for the poor la boring men. [Applause.] We have begun the great work of the, Pacific railway. We have protected the industries of our people. (AP plause.] We have established a money syss tam that makes every man holding a dol lar in currency interested in siipporting the national credit—a system that can scorn and defy the efforts that may be made by dema gogues to impair the sacredness of the public debt of our country. [Applause.] And how is it with the Democratic party? Where does it stand to-day? On every question vitally affect ing the interests of the country, it has proved itself recreant. It stands before this nation not only as the enemy of a poor, despised. and bated race, but it is not the champion M the rights and interests of the laboring men of this or any other country. I say to you that the Republican party, as an organization, stands before the country the peer of any party that has ever appeared in the history of the human family. I do not say that RepUb- Beans are all good men—they have the weak nesses of humanity—but I do say that their Ideas, their principles, their sentiments and their policy are borrowed from the New Testa ment and the Declaration of American Inde pendence. There are thousands of noble men who still cling tothe Democratic party,,yet I ant constrained to say that the Democratic party is false to liberty, justice and humanity. I am willing to meet any man in Phila. delphia or in Pennsylvania on this platform, and demonstrate that you cannot find., on any . partof the globe, a political Organization that has made a _record during the last ten year§ 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 you not know that Lincolnxteen states tat voted against Abraham , twelve or thirteen of them went into rebellion. Let me say to you (and I say it to every maimed and wounded soldier in Pennsylvania, and to every widow and orphan,) that every shot voluntarily fired. against the old flag of our country and into. the bosoms of its defenders during the rebel lion, was tired by a man who would vote the Democratic I icket. . . We want no revenge upon our Southern peo ple. I can say here, in the presence of Al mighty God, that, in spite of all their cruelty and outrages of the Ihst four years, I never had an unkind sentiment in myheart towards the people of the South. I looked upon them as mad and drunk with slavery; that it had poisone,d the very fountains of their feelings ; that they had rushed into fire and blood to es tablish a great slaveholders' confederacy that Isls t 9 puwe as alayckoldixtg statealoxico, livostooDisaligli Central America, and Cuba; that was to build up a great bemocratic slaveholdiug• empire that Should command the tr o lliCall , P aue " ns ' To-day their ideas, their principles, the measures—the* i themselves—lic prostrate un der the heel 41 American patriothine Since the morning of creation no set of Men were ever so subjugated, so conquered, so abstdute ly to powder, as the rebels in the L nited States.

Eviler, Esq., Online= on the tkonnnietee on Town Meetings: DEAR Siu : I am prevented through various causes from accepting tlicluvitation of your committee to address thetmeeting to be heki OR Saturday evening next,. in ratilleation.og the recent nominations , by the UiliCIP party. Although unable to be present on such occa sion, I cannot withhold a.mexpression of warm interest in the general success of the ticket,. and especially in the election'of its candidatot for the mayoralty. From the intimate know ledge which Mr, McMichael possesses of the• people and institutions of!Philadelphia, and! from the personal qualities• which have' justly secured for him the respect and con fidence of the community,. there is assu ranee of the wisdom and; ability that will distinguish his administration of its municipal affairs. No one, in my estimation., is worthy to be elected chief magistrate of this city who has not during the entire conflict from which our Union has just gloriously issued, approved himself the avowed, steadfast, and hearty sup porter of that Union, [Applause.] No one whose whole influence has not been openly and constantly exerted to strengthen the hands of Government—no one whose means, whether of time or money or talents, have not been freely bestowed for the suppression of rebellion—no one whose voice• has not been fearlessly raised to cheer the despondent, to rebuke the dastardly—to denounce the traitor [renewed applause]—shoulcl be chosen to that Position. Such an one you have in your nominee, Morton McMichael—[cheers]—and in his choice his fellow-citizens will evince their ap proval of the enlightened patriotism that has ever marked his course. I am, very respectfully, ALEXANDER' HENRY SPEECH OF GENERAL OWEN Gen. Joshua T. Owen was the next speaker. His appearance at the front of the platform elicited lively and hearty applause. He said ; I greet you to-night, my countrymen, with a heart bounding with joy, for I feel that you are equal to any emergency which theeireum stances of your country may present t that if it be neeessary to break the shackles of ThiTtY, and to cut loose from the ties of even a life time, and conquer the prejudices that neces sarily cling to us from the associations of a lifetime, you are equal to that task, ready at any time to stand by your country, and by the men and the principles which are -in accordance with the great interests of the country. The Union party presents to the world au exampleworthy of imitation—worthy the applause of all those who love liberty, and desire the perpetuation of such a Go-cerement as we bare. I see around me men who were formerly my coadjUtOrS M the ranks of the Democratic party. That was years ago. We have never changed our principles; but the party has.. The Democratic leaders in the hour of trial were false to the country, and we left them. (Applause.] The resolutions offered here all9lllo meet the cordial approval of every Union man throughout the State, for they look at the best interests of our be loved country. lam ready to co-operate with men who will put upon our statute books such laws as shall in the future be necessary to properly punish the crime of treason. I am glad, too, to find that a large proportion of my fellow-officers and soldiers of the army, and the officers and sailors of the navy are enrolling themselves in the ranks of the Union Party. They fought the enemies of the country in many fields and scenes of blood, and now they fight them agai at the polls. The enemy is still at work, and the danger Is as great now as it was then, and we must be watchful, and put such men in power in the States that will retain for us the inestimable rights and privileges that were purchased for us with the blood of our ances tors of the ReVOilltion, and secured anew, and saved to us by the seg-deniai, the suffering, and the immortal valor of our fellow-citizens. [Applause.] Every soldier who has passed through Philadelphia on his way to the field, or on his return to his home, bears witness to the liberality and generosity of your citizens. Your refreshment saloons, where the weary and hungry soldier rested and was fed, and your hospitals,uhere the sick soldier received kind attention, have given you more reputa tion, perhaps, than any other institution you possess, [Applause.] SPERM OP HOP MORTON M'IIIICTIADir. The neat speaker was Morton McMichael, who was received with loud and continued cheering. After the applause had somewhat subsided, he said Ah ! that's right 1 - That makes me feel that I shall be the Mayor. [Go it old horse.] Old horse, chi Well, I have been an old horse for a good many years, and perhaps it is right, now that I am getting old, that I should be come a Mayor. [ - Cries of "Good," and laugh ter.] I have not come here to make a formal speech, nor to discuss any of the great public questions which are now agitating the coun try ; that has been most ably done by those who have preceded me. Brit I will say this, that I cordially endorse, with all my heart and all my strength all the sentililante which my friends have uttered tomight.. I am herd to say a word about myself. The convention of the Union party, during my absence, without any solicitation on my part, almost without my previous knowledge, did me the honor to nominate me for the office of Mayor of this city. It was not without doubt and hesitation that I resolved to accept that nomination, for I felt that under all circumstances the office of Mayor was one involving large responsibili ties and onerous duties, and I felt still more, when I thought what the man, who entered upon those duties, after seven years of such administration as we have had under Alekan der Henry, would have to be. Mr. Henry has j always been a wise, upright, intelligent, just earnest, dignified and useful magistrate, and the man who is to succeed him must feel some hesitation and some doubt whether he can realize all the expectations which liis friends and the public form of him, But, for ail that, I have accepted the nomination, and, please God, I mean to make the office, if it can be made. It would be affectation in nie to stand and say that I do not feel myself qualified to discharge its duties ; I know that I am quali fied, [Applause.] It would be useless to tell you who I am and what I am, and what my opinions are and have been. lam now where I have always been, earnest in my desire to Promote the interests of this great city. lam proud of Philadelphia. I have always believed in Philadelphia, and I have never shared in the doubts and croakinga Of those who would put us in a secondary position. If we are true to ourselves we shall be the very first. [Ap plause.] It is because I desire to have my name officially identified with the interests and welfare and progress of Philadelphia, as for more than thirty teal's it has been unoffi cially identified, that I want to be the &layer. [Applause. There needs no pledge from me I as to what shall do if I fill that office. I shall administer it to the best of my abilities is the interest of the whole community. I shall do all in my power to enhance the - prosperity . of the city, and to peomote its welfare in ail diree tions. I shall do that not only with all the ability that I possess,but with all the strength and earnestness that I can bring. In the dis tribution of patronage—because that is a mat ter of some interest—l shall take care of the Union men and none others, [Applause,] i Patronage s a distinct matter from mere ad. ministration, and while in the administration of all that relates to the public., I shall know no creed or sect or color, and will endeavor to do my duty. to all the citizens of Philadel phia, I desire to Say that, so far as I have offices under my control, they Shall be given only 'to the men who co-operate with me in the work. Now you know exactly where I stand. I thought, until within a few days, that if there was a man in Philadel phia who had a right to the good-will, the regard, Mid kindly feeling of the workingmen of Philade]phia, it was he who stands now be fore you. [Applause.] From my earliest con nection with public affairs, beginning when I was a little over seventeen years old, I have in every. possible way endeavored to iiromote the interest, the welfare, and the pros perity of the working-elesses of the count try. I prided myself that I might be called and considered the workingman's friend. And yet within the last month an attempt has been made—a most deliberate, careful, and elabefrate attempte.4B I am htferMed, to prejudice me with that particular class of my fellow.eitizens, and to denounce me as an one my to the working man, and calling upon the workingmen of Philadelphia to vote against me on that account. lam not afraid that any sensible workingman will dO it, They know me, and their own interests too well, after thirty years of the best, service I could render, that now, when my, name it presented to my fellow-citizens for au office I have not sought, that I should be assailed in this way. I know that my friends, the working men, will regent this indignity cast upon me and upon them. [Cries of „ So they will .e] It is done by those men, Who, under the auspices of the Democratic party, those who under the wing of the Democratic managers, seek to break down, not me, for I am of no conse quence to them, but through me the hold which the Union party has upon the City of Philadelphia, its power, acrd patronage. livery man of sense knows thattf Morton McMichael is defeated Daniel M. Fox must be elected, and Mr. Fox, who as I truly believe, is an honest and respectable man, must turn out of office beery Union man no call rsseli,and fill the place of that - Union man with a vediperhead. Ile cannot help it if he would, and he would not If he could. And yet here is an attempt made on the pretext that 1 nun not a friend to the working-classes to de feet, upon the city tielcet, the election of that man by whom Must be distrihato4 the largest amount of the city patronage. I haTe ferred to it here to put my friends on their guard against it, and not because it touched my personal interests. It has been m c c rule to let denunciationS go ewer nhed ar! neither thnor stoop to a them. But t tis is in entereSt of the great Union party of Phila delphia, and I feel bound, as I. have accepted the standard of that party, JO stand by it explanation s, and, therefore, • f make this I verily believe, just as truly as I believe that I stand below you, that if live until after the second Tuesday of Octo ber I shail be the Mayor elect of PhOlelerlia. [Applause.] I can see nothing that woui sub- I eet me to the slightest doubt on that subject. *Laughter and cheers.'

SPEECH OF HON. , WM. D. IiELLEt The Itch': WM. D. KO,lla was then lett:Gamed. He spoke sulietentially ae follows : I would gladly take up_ the strain where my old schoolniate beft it oil. 3le has justly earned his presilut proud position by his nevev-lailing advocacy ofthe rights of American citizens.

They want to come into power While their fields are lying waste, and to cripple Northern industry by removing , the protection to American indus try afforded by the tariiti. In 18113 that dis tinguished Virginia Delalocrad,RObert Edmund Lee, brought up portion oil his people to at tend the Democratic Conventiell at Harrisburg. The people of this city thoUght it an insult to the people of the State,anduearlyevery one— people of all classes, mover the city govern ment—went into the militia; and buckling on their arms, went down to the border, and kept the rebel horde from ravaging,vour fields and burning your towns. Could it "emocratio or ganization have been so trristedl Their sym pathies would have been witlithe slavehold era and traitors. For this reason:l wish that the government of the city of Philadelphia should be kept in .the hands, of loyal mum who will make it defend your homes against robbers, thieves, and armed traitors. The Northern Democracy have changed like• Polonias, in the play, who, when the prince pointed . out the cloud in the sky, chimed in with the rt i Vgs titl e :l)o 6 o f f a e m alli le et"Vteit t , i st "very like a whale. ,,, So the Northern matte• gees have twisted and turned about at the beak of the Southern leaders. There is a groat work before us which demands theattent of every man Who has the interests of the country at heart, Many soldielia, and sot. (tiers' widows and orphans, are now draw ing pensions, more of them than I know. They are a sacred trust upon the American people ; you are the trustees of every soldier who has been disabled, and the widows and. anthem of those who have Bled upon the field of battle. But those who hew the counsels ofWilliamll. Reed and Edward Inger soll and Vallandigham, and the various dema gogues of our own and. other States, would re pudiate that pension list. They would repu diate the national debt, or assume the indebt edness contracted by the South in liinkt4g war upon the Union and attempting to de stroy the national existence. I have no dirt to fling at the Southern people. • It is unmanly to kick a fallen foe; but I believe with Andrew Johnson, that treason is a crime that should be punished, and I hope that he will soon stop flardonirig that there may be some banging, Applause.] Ido not aalt a general punishment, Jut only a vindication of the law by the trial of some of the leading traitors ; I do ask, that the close of such a rebellion, and the declara tion of the sanctity of the doctrine that we are a nation, alien be sealed with the blood of a few distinguished traitors. PaldOiiing the guilty is an Insult to the innocent. Nally ha you have clone, as regularly and solidly as you did every Fourth of July, when you rose and donned the uniform of blue, and hurried to the border, and there, under the flag stood a wall of fire against theliiiiiintllg foe. 'Rally in your strength at thepolls as you did then, rant success is assured. [Loud Applause.] SPEECH OF MAJOR GENERAL C. 11. T. COLLIS Major General C. U. T. Collis then took the stand tw a spoke as follows : If there are any soldiers preSeni litre to night, I desire to say a very few worchs te them, You ure called together to enroll your names once more in the great cause of our country, and be again mustered into service to fight sympathizers with treason, as faithfully with your ballots as you have fought the traitors thernsclvesWith your muskets. The national Government wards volunteers, The " assembly , ' is sounded and we must fall in. By and by we will hear the " attention,” and our solid column must be formed; an d when we are ordered " forward, ,, on the 10th of Oc tober MI TA, there must be no stragglers ; and I believe that before night " pee - It-up 7 ' 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 anythin - to soldiers on this SUbjeet.' It is believed that the men who have imperilled their lives for the nation in times (Over will desert it in the midst of that blessed peace whichltheir valor has iron. Never ! It is believed that all the sophistry of which our wily antagonists are capable can wean cl'olla our battle-tofu nag one tittle of our devotioni Neifott But, soldiers, it is just as well we should meet together and calmly talk the matter over, to assure ourselves that we are working in earnest. Yon must not be deceived by the head and front of the so-called Demoiratie ticket being dressed in the national unifOrins i you must not be deceived by finding the enerhyls column of candidates headed by a couple of your cora macs. Didn't Moseby play this very same game when he stole your boots 1 Didn't he al ways head his column With a feW blue coats? Didn't this wolf in sheep's clothing always ISP: proach you as a friend and then strip you 01 everything worth carrying away . ' So it is with this modern Moseby party, who on the 10th of next month will approach you carrying the stars and stripes, and led by a couple of blimeoats. When the head of their column appears I want you to look well down its ranks, and I think you will dad following in the rear as sorry, and seedy, and hungry a set of greybacks as you ever set eyes upon 'be tween Petersburg . and A_ppamattox Court House and if you do not hurl theln Weis apon their reserves in Virgibia and South Carolina, Moseby like theywill rob your soldiers of the hard-earned fruits of your four years' toil. Talk to me of their advocating an equaliza tion of bounties. Humbug ! They would strip yon of all,vou possdse, and by del/I'OO4OV the national tredit deprive the widow of your dead comrade of the mite she now receives, as pension, from the national treasury. Let me give you a few reasons why, in my opinion, it becomesthe solemn duty of every returned - veteran to vote with the National tin ion First, Because, When the question "Shall the soldiers be allowed to voter , was presented to the people of Pennsylvania, the Union party • devoted their time, their voices, their infin. ence and their means to secure for you the ex. erclse of that right, whilst the Moseby party as faithfully devoted themselves to dellriVe the soldiers of that aacred 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 citizene or the Republic, who were your comrades. Third. Because the Droseby:party, eonVeri t ion assembled at Chicago in 1864, when the National Government required the hearty support of every man - woman, and child .in the nation, after (Weill% and Mature deltbera ti on , arm Milited to the whole world (and Oise elegy to rebeldom, that the efforts of the dead. patriots who had poured out their hearts' blood to sustain the national honor, and the Patriotic efforts of the survivors who, with GO'S help, still hoped to save the life of the Republic ad been a miserable? failure. Plnerth.' 'bad our Union Leagues, our Sam. tary Commissions, our Christian Commission our Volunteer Aid 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 called Democratic party ever found its way into their treasuries. Fifth. Because we believe that should the Moseby party be successful, they will torn an alliance with the leading traitors of the South, endeavor to repeal the law requiring mem bers of Congress to sneer that they have never given aid or comfort to the rebellion, and thus securing the representation they de sire, will advocate a repudiation of the na tional debt, and the payment of perishing to the wounded soldiers of the recent insurgent erode 1. Because, while we were absent, feglit ing the good fight under Lincoln, Grant and Sherman, the lioseby party carried , ridi cule the elegies of those devoted patriots through our public streets. Bevena, Itemise we desire the Moseby party to understand that *,), repudiate their Impart thy, as declared in their recent resolutions, for the simple reason that loyal soldierSOf the republic ask no sympathy from thOSO who have heretofore sympathized with. their ene mies, leighth. Beattie° lYtIl will not vote for that party Which musters in its ranks till the miser. able cowards who secreted themselves toe void the draft, and who now come out front their hiding-places to exercise that pnivueffe of eithgenship, of which they Fought to deprive you and Inc. Ninth and lastly, because tide of oar murdered President, who in his earnest and patriotic efforts to save. tho was thwarted at every step by these same sympa. thtaers with treason.
