Escy, being levelly called f r, came forward and began his remarks by asking the Demoerats present if they had heard from Maine, • He then,.in' a very hu morous manner,. explained to the meeting the • Democratic .plan of taxation, which caused great laughter and embodied rather an expensive and riclicaloms style. The bond question wan then handled.in a very able manner and gavagreat satisfaction. This question is considered, by the Dernoc• racy, a very important and intricate ni tt ter, but he thought the Republican party was fully able to carry It through. on their own platform, and thought the Democratic manner w -is a great deal like SlaymakeA bull and the locomotive their pluck was good but theirjudgmen; very bad: The speaker then stated that greenbacks and bonds was not the- question , before the American people, bnt it was just as our great leader, U. S. Grant, had, in a very few words in his letter of acceptance r `said, it,is whether we shall have peace or wheth er our people shall be plunged into an other wicked, fierce andibloody war,which was inevitable in the event of the election of Seymour and Blair.. All their speeches and letters were full of expressions and sen timents for war, and' it was prompted and I urged on by such men as• Hampton, Pillow, For. est ez Co. He then paid a high tribute to the combined actiontof the war Demo crats of this community in-coming forward and assisting us in raising Grant and Col _ fax the highest office at the disposal of the American people. He urged the people to go on with the work earnestly, and make our victory greater than that in Maine and Vermont. His whole speeCh was full of humor and kept the crowd in closest atten tion, and at times created the wildest laughter. The Lawrenceville Glee Club again sang a good song in their best style, entitled. "Seymour, Blair & Co." Hon. Russell Errett then came forward and betnin his address by wondering if the coldiu•ss of the weather was caused by the chilly influence of the news from Maisie upon tlto Demo-racy. He had been listen ing all erecting for the hundred guns they proposed firing to-night in honor of their great victory. The ditibrence between the candidates for office nominated. by the Chi t nap- tand. New, York. Conventions was _then lard before the meetititi a plain and - forcible manner. He 'ate '' a ' high tribute to the character of Grant and, Colfax, . in oompartng their plain and unassumed conduct with the vile and threatening expressions of Seymour and Blair. The actions of Grant and Seymour during the war were then ' compared in an able manner from the breaking out of , the war down to the sur render at Vicksburg. Just at the time Sey mour was demiuncing in New York the war as a failure, then while Grant was manipulating the unconditional surrender. of Lee at Richmond, Seymour was holding forth again in the same place; again de nouncing the war as a great failure and urging the Demooracy oft New. York to come forward and put an endto this useless. war. _ _ .. ribune. ection of He closed his very eloquent and able• speech with again urging the people to gp. on with their work with renewed efforts, determined to mike the victory in Novem ber great and glorious; worthy of the man who is leading us on to the fight, and make this political war the last we will have to fight with Copperhead Democracy.''
