Grand Mass Meeting In the Third Ward,
Allegheny—Leyalty In Council-.:Speech
, es of Messrs. Mueller, Miller, Slagle
' and Graham --Tremendous Gathering.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the patriotic. Republiean citizens
of the Third ward, Allegheny, turned out
en maaac on Saturday evening in front of
Col. Gerst's hotel, on East Lane, to give ex
pression to their sentiments on the great
issues now before the country. The ,
gath
ering, in point of number and enthusiasm,
was one of the largest which it has been
our pleasure to attend since the opening, of
the campaign. The-Germania Brass Band
was present, and did much towards isnliv
ening ithe occasion by their excellent soul
stirring music. -
The meeting came to order at half-past
seven o'clock with the following list of
officers:
President—James Mcßriar.
bias President—John Stevens, Mr. Blair,
Jno. Myers, P. Lang, Mr. Guppart, C. Gang,
James Park, Wm. Boyd, Arthur Hobson,
D. L. Smith, S. Riddle, G. Hoffman.
Secretaries—Henry Bork, A. J. Penticost,
and renorters of the Republican press.
Mr. "Mcßriar, on taking the Chair, re
turneal his thanks to the audience fur the
compliment, aud introduced H. P. Mueller,
Esq. Mr. Mueller spoke altogether, in
German, which prevented us from getting
a synopsis of his remarks. From the en
thusiasm with which they were receivea,
and the frequent applause by which he
was interrupted, however, we jugged it to
be one of the gentlemen's happiest efforts.
At the conclusion of his remarks, the
band played an enlivening air, after which
Jacob H. Miller. Esq., took the stand and
made an interesting and forcible address.
Mr. Miller commenced by saying that he .
was glad to see so many:of his friends and
acquaintancei of Allegheny authored in
council on such an occasion and at such a
-time. He had thought as he looked aronnd
on the vast assemblage, if there had over
been-a-similar gathering; under such cir
cumstances in the world, and as he referred
to the history of the past he was compelled
to say that only in A mei ica had its coun
terpart ever been seen.
The people of this country are, as they
should be, practically the government
and as they assemble in council together to
consider and decide who shall exec Ute their
wishes in the future, the.v well know and
feel that the grave refi,,cmsibility of their
country'st eal or woe rests upon their ac
tiens. Tti gentleman then reviewed the
past history of the Republican party, and
asked the question of those who had' sus
tained the noble Lincoln if they had any
thing to be ashamed of. The record of this
party is one of which any party might be
proud. To the country they have given a
glbrions peace and an unbounded prosper
ity. Taking hold of the government when
it was tottering to its fall, they have eleva
ted it to a position which it has never be
fore occupied and to-day is an honored,
influential and powerful nation Republi
cans can rejoice and exult in the success
which has attended the work of their
hands.
Some pqrsons have asked; will General
Giant be elected? Who would not vote for
Grant ? Where is the man who, in the light.
of the lag four years, with a country just
emerged from the throes of a foul rebellion,
and enjoying pole(' and unparalled pros
perity, would be so craven, so ungrateful
as to cast his vote against him by whom all
these results were obtained. People of a
grateful republic do as their honor and
better feelings demand, outside of party
prejudice. The man who preserved to
them their liberties and' existence, will be
placed in their Chief Magistrate's chair, by
a majority which will completely over
whelni all partizanship, and be a
standing rebuke. to the enemies of
Republican governmen s, their Republics
are ungrateful. The next subject width
claimed the sceaker'a attention was the
prinuiples and olject of the Democratic
p tity ! Their princip'es an enunciated by
the New York C ii%ebt on contemplate the
resteiation of all that has been lost by
rebels la their vile ataempts to Baby ert toe
bust-g wernment in existence. Already, in
all parts,of the Smith rebels' nd trai ors
are begining to look at,and advocate the
eles•tiori of Seymour and Blair as a means
of restorinr them to power. But if the loyal
men of tam country are true to their
own interest, if they but labor
as become's men upon whom depends
the existence of their nationality, if they
but stand by_the Republican party and its
principles, these nefarious designs will all
I be frustrated, the power of the Govern-
Mont to conquer and keep down rebellion
be exemplified, and peace, prosperity and
happiness reig,, throughout the land. The
gentleman then rapidly examined the
nond and negro suffrage questions, mak
ing several telling hits, and cloSing amid
great applause, with a glowihg exhortation
to all present to enter into the contest with
a spirit and determination to win victory.
in November.
Meeting in Lawrence County."—Quite a
large delegation, accempanie.l by a band
and glee club, left New Castle on Saturday
afternoon, to participate in a grand' Re_pnb-
Make demonstration at Moravia. Dr;°Wal-
Nee, of New Castle, and others delivered
.addresses, and the meeUng Was one of the
largest ever held in Lawreiice caunty. The

Republicans, and a large majority ivill nu;
doubtediy be the reault.
After some more excellent music. Major
J. F. Slagle took the - Stand and made a
brief and pertinent address. He said the
two great partielt in the Union , were mar
shaling their forces for a conflict, such as is
wit n ease din no other country—the, peaceful
conflict of the Thlsisthe reason of

we are allowed and can exercise this great
. privilege of tee speech-the greatest be
longing ,to freercien—our boasted freedom
is ashant. ' The gentleman then reviewed
the. history, of the nation from the time
Charlet - 1 Serener, in our 'legislative half,
Was stricken down by the bludgeon of a
Southern flre-eater for expressing his senti
ments, showing 'the bondage in which we
were then held and which continued until
the breaking out of the war. From this
and similar causes the organization of the
Republican party became a necessity' for
the preitervation of our liberties. The
prciniulgation of the principles of universal
freedom of speech throughout the, land
eventually 'brought on the conflict from
which we have just emerged. All through
that stormy time this principle and idea
was firmly and' tenaciously adhered to by
the Reputolicamparty, and when the clouds
of war rolled away victory perched upon
their banner; and free speech was guaran
tend to all throughout the length, and
breadth of the land. And this is the real
issue which divides our country today; it
is not bonds, it is not taxes, it is not any of
these specious miestieris by which the
Democratic party seek to blind the eyes of
the people. It is a question whether we
are to enjoy the of which we
boast. Let us then, with this
issue • clearly before us, go forward
earnestly in the work and see that our
1 principles conquer. We have fought for
them nobly and valiantly. in the field. Let
us tight as nobly and valiantly at the bal-1
lot-box, and when the third day of next No
vember is over and victory remains with
ul, a shout of joyous triumph , from mill
ions of freemen will proclaim to the world
that this land is indeed the land of the
FREE, who have secured-their freedom for
ever.
After Mr.
,t3lagle's speech, the band dis
coursed several patriotic airs, and Hon.
Jas. L. Graham was introduced, who en
tertained the audience for nearly an hour,
in a speech remarkable for logical power
and eloquence. He said they met tcklay
on the:eye of one of the most important
electious which had eve,. taken place in the
country. It wascustomary to say this in
all contests of the kind, but every thinking
man must admit when he examined the cir-
' cumstances of the hour that upon the deck
. ion•given by the people in this election de
pended, in a great measure, the future des
tinies of our' overnment. It i. ths . duty
of our man as a lover of his country,
to lay aside till party prejudice and all par
ty traditions, and to look squarely at the
question and conscientiously and honestly
ask himself v. hat is my duty to
myself, to my country, to humani
ty, and then having once decided,
regardless of, partizanship, go forward
in the every diScharge of that duty without
fear or favor. Examining then the
question in this light, there appears to be
two leading or central ideas or principles,
which present themselves for considera
tion. The exponents of one of these ideas
are the nominees of the Republican party,
and the exponents of the other are the
nominees of the Democratic party. The Re-.
publiban idea is that the union of. the Ststos
under the Constitution ftirms the goyein
ixtent. and that any departthe or with
drawal from Wig government is a crime
punislittele with tiro severe penalties no-s
corded to traitors and rebels. The Demo
crstic idea is that the Union depends on
the consent of each individual State, min
as long as this consent is accorded the com
pact remains unbroken, but when' a State
wishes to withdraw, it can do so and the
government can't prevent it. There is
redly the underlying cause of the present
contest. It was this difference of opinion
which brought on the war, and it is this
which will have to be settled finally, as we
are now about to settlelt forever, by the, bal
-1
lot. These side issues of bonds, greenbacks
and taxe:and the wail shoot the down-trod
den Southerner and representation all are
not the real questions, but are only, brown
as decoys front the main question. The
same principles which we tougut for dur
irr the war are on trial to-day, and they
either perish or are triumphant with the
succ ss of one or the other of the parties
asking for the suffrage of the people to
day. ',The gentleman developed this line of
argunient at considerable length, and in an
able manner, which seemed to carry convic
tion with it. He next took up thetwo candi
dates Grant and Seymour. . Grant ho char
acterized as a man born in ',militia circurn
stance.l, educated at the Government ex-,
pense, a modest, quiet, unassuming man,
of few words but mig.ity, noble deeds, one
who when all others had failed led 'our
armies of gallant soldiers to glorious vie.
tory. This is 1 the man whom the
Republican party have chosen as their
standa•d bearer and_lor whom they
ask the votes of the people. On
the other hand, we have Seymour, the cun
ning, crafty, Calculating politician, a man
skilled in all the political chicanery of the
New York school of .politics, a man who
when General Grant was. marching under
the summer min at the head of our armies
was cajoling and caressing in NeW York a
mohofred-handed,olphan asylum burners;
and murderers and calling thorn his friends,
He afterwards suee.ingly asks where are
our victories? Where are the successes
promised us, and where wore they? He
was unaware that at that time our noble
boys in blue under the leadership of
Grant, had - taken the rebel stronghold of
Vicksburg, and tills rebel Gen. Pemberton
had delivered lup his sword with'
thirty-four thonaand . prisoners of war;*
that the gallant General Meade was
driving the rebel hordes front the
. soil of Pennsylvania. and from all along
our borders the shoats of victory from our:
victorious legion% made the welkin ring.
(Cheers.) Mr. Wallace, the Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee,
says that Seymour IS a statesman and that
Grant is not. What does Frank Blair think
on this point? He thinks, according to
his publiiffied letters, that Gen. Grant has
not only intellect enough to fill the position
of President, but that if elected he will, by
the' power and force of that intellect, make
himself dictator, and' therefore: it is dan
gerous to elect him. ,
But conceding that Gen.. Grant has never

eaten him that if elected -he will develop
that kind of statestnanshipwhich the peo
ple so mtich desire .in -their servants,' and
which will lead us front the commotion of
civil strife into a condition of peace and
abundant protgiority. Hardly more than a
year ago this was the language and senti
ment expressed by the Democratic
party. But, now a change has come over

The question then to be decided by yon

cans know how to reward "their benefad

question, during, which-, he' - gave it
'the

the country 'at the, time, of , Alm
:wai,' . tihinilmg th4the ",Treasury was bank=
rapt, and that by the . eirerts - Of a Republi
can administration it had raised from that
condition to env of timidness and finan
cial strength. He also gave a practi
cal illustraUon of the method pro
posed to bo adopted "by tho Democrats
of pay'.ng the national debt in
greentw.cks, which he charact , fixed us
a syst , zm of wrongand national dishonesty.
A irdion, as well as an individual, if she
wisled to preserve her nat onal existence,
must be honest. Righteousness exalteth a
nation, brit sin is a reproach to any people,
Is as true now (as when it was first thun
dered into the ears of the ancient people.
Tle question of negro equality was next
handled in a masterly. manner.
The Democrats are very much afraid
that the negro "mid become their equal.
This talk of negro equality is all a sham.
and is used to divert attention from the
main question. The law guratatees only to
the negro the same" right that it
would give to its lciwest or its highest
citizen. It don't compel man to in
vite a negro to his table, or to associ
ate with him in his daily intercourse if he
"prefers not to, and can it be that the Demo
crats are afraid.that this negro will surpass
them in intellect, and so must be
kept down. Can it be that the poor
down trodden African rising from 'under
tho blightening influence of opres
sion and slavery, possessed o f no
advantages, of social intercourse or
education, disregarded, degraded, can it be
that heriall surpass his oppressors in the
race of ife? If ho can do this, if he can
rise above his degrading 'surroundings, if
by the power of his own inherent mental
strength he can mount the hill-tops of
progress, and pass me in the race of life, I
will say to him as he rises higher and
higher in the scale of humanity, God
speed you, and if rising higher and higher
and ever growing nobler and nobler,
reaches the topmost , summit of earthly,
hopes and aspirations, he will sing to him
as he passes through the clouds towards
the goal, as we sometimes sing—
"If you get there before I do,
Lookout for me, I'm coming too."
(Loud and prolonged cheers.)'
The gentleman continued at some length
to argue the justice and equity of the re
construction policy of Congress as laid
down in the 14th article of amendment
to the Constitution, which was frequently
interrupted with applause, and which we
regret space will not allow us to report fur
ther.
In closing, he said the present was simply
a contest between loyalty and disloyalty.
Shall the liberties, and all that is noble and
true in our Government, be sacrificed be
fore the grqss has withered over the graves
of those who bad laid down their lives to
preserve it for us?. I think not—it cannot
be. There is a spirit of loyalty and na
tional- love in the hearts of the American
people which Will not permit them to do th s.
They are awake to the issue of the hour,
no demagogues, no political tricksters, Can
blind their eyes to the great interest which
is at stake, and while rebels exult in the
prospect of a speedy realization of all their
wishes, while their sympathizers are lab
oring actively in their behalf, the great
heart of 1 oyalty is beating true to
the Union, the fires of patriotism are still
intriiing on the altar, and when the third
day of next November rolla round, from
the village and hamlet, from the crowded
city, and from all parts of the broad Re

with ono grand manifestation of their
power, will sweep away every vestige of
treason, and. with songs and glad acclaim
render their highest reward to him who

soldier, the profound statesman, the incor
ruptible patriot, "Ulysses S. Grant. [Loud
and prolonged cheeringt
After the applause which followed Mr.
Graham's i.peech had 'subsided, the chair
man announced another gathering in the
Allegheny Diamond on Monday evening.
and proposed three cheers for Grant and
Colfax, which were given with a will and
the meeting then adjourned.

plause. The Colonel , reviewed the recon
struction policy of Congress, the bond ques
tion, and the position of the Democratic

and will giro a good ace flint of themselves
in Oc:oher and November. •

A Strange story.
Shortly after eleven o'clock on Friday
evening a man approached officers Wilson
and Johnson, at the Union Dipot; and stated
that he had been made the victim of a con
fidence game under the following circum
stances: He said he belonged to Illinois
and was waiting to make connection with
the Western train, having just arrived
from the Fast. While he was waiting in
the depot a welt dressed, gentlemanly
looking individtial came i 3 and en
tered into conversation with him. After
conversing a short time, his new friend
invited him to take a drink, and they left
the depot for that purpose. As they were
about entering the hotel. stranger No. 2
steps up and told stranger No. 1 "that he
had shipped that freight, and must have
fifty dollars to pay the charges." No. Ihad
nothing but a live hundred dollar bill, and
asked greeney to lend him fifty dollars till
he got change which was done, and_
the tast seen of the strange gentlemen they
were hastening down Canal street toward
Penn. The Illinoisman returned to the
depot, and about half an hour after the oc
currence related the above story to the
officers. He said he thought they would
come back and return him the money,
which was the reason why he delayed in
forming the officers. He staid at the depot
until the next morning, when he en
deavored to get a pass over the Fort Wayne
road by relating his story. He was after
wards seen talking to a man who soon after
catne to ;the office and corroborated
his story. The pass, however, was not
forthcoming, and thetale is so fishy that a
suspicion exists that it is a put up allair
throughout. How any man could be ,
gulled in the manner stated, is altogether
beyond comprehension. If it be true the
individual is a little greener than we had
supposed a mortal could be and live.'
However, truth is stranger than fiction,
which is an argument in its favor. I
Another Outrage—A You'g Girl the
Victim.
On Saturday evening a young and re
spectable Gtrman gill who resides in the
Fifth ward was the victim of a trutal out
rage of a part/ of fiends in human form, for
noon' no punishment is too severe. It
seems that the young lady in com
pany with a male friend was quietly
walking along Penn street. abbut nine
o'clock in the evening. Turning from
Penn they passed toward the river, down
Canal street. As , they were walking along
Canal street they were - accosted by three
men, who entered into conversation it ith
them. As the parties seemed respectable
and quiet, nothing was thought of the no
currenes until they arrived at the bank of
the river, where the men knocked the
young man down with a handy billy,
rendering him senseless, and seized
hold of tue girl.
_She endeavored to create
an a arm, when one of the men placing his
hand over her mouth grasped her in his
arm and carried her under the railroad
bridge where the three villains succeeded
in their design. In the meantime the
young man recoveruig procured an officer_
and wilt back to the bridge where
they discovered the unfortunate girl.
She was taken home and search was
ina.ui for her assailants. A man who was
noticed hurrying from the bridge was ar
rested and talten to the lock-up, where he
refused to give his name, He is supposed
to be one of the guilty parties. The police
are endeavoring to ferret the villians out,
but so far have not succeeded.
Railroad Accident-..-Man Killed.
On Saturday evening, shortly before
dark, John Flinn, an employe of the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne de Chicago Railroad
Company, was run over by a train on the
road and instantly killed. It seems he was
walking along the track near the outer
depot, in the Second ward, when stepping
ou a track to get out of the way of an
approaching train, he was struck by a train
coming in the opposite direction, with the
result as aided. The deceased was about
lorty,five years of age, and resided at
Wood's Run, whither he was going at the
time of his death. Coroner Clawson has
been notified, and will hold mil:quest this
morning.

A Philanthropic Act.
C./n Friday afternoon about three o'clock
three small boys were playing with a skiff
moored at the Allegheny wharf, near the
Hand street bridge, when the boat broke
from its fastenings and floated away from
the shore. In the fright occasioned by the
occurrence one of the boys, named McMa
hon, fell into the water and narrowly,
escaped a watery grave. He had gone
down 4he third time, when a young man,
named Hutchison plunged into the river
and with considerable difficulty brought
him to the shore. ;He was insensible but
revived soon after. This is said to be the
third - time Mr. Hutchinson has acted in a
similar manner, and he certainly deserves
the highest praise for his philanthropic
spirit.
