FBIENkS AND 1 YELLOW-errizErna : The
time is rapidly approaching when you will
be called upon to choose whom you will
I
trust fo the Chief Executive power of this
nation i r the next four years, who shall ex
ercise t e law-making: power as your rep
resenta ves in Congress during the next
Congressional term. You have never made
a choice so important to yourselves, to your
country, and to mankind; forupon it may
rest the issues of.peace or of war, of do
mestic tranquility or of civil discord, -of
freedom or of slavery. In short, all the
' -blessings that can follow good government,
or that a bad government can inflict upon
the human race. At the last Presidential
election the country was,in the midst of a
bloody war and had fort three years been
struggling for existence against treason and
rebellior. The fortune of war was so varied
that some patriots began to feel 'doubtful as
to the result, while on the other hand the
rebels, strong in military power. and en
couraged by sympathizing • friends in the
Northern and Western States, were bold in
defiance and boasted that itlneeded only f r
their final success that their friends in the
Northern States should carry the Pres
idential election. These friends, who
had resisted the war at every st .ge,
were equally bold and • confident
in their expectation that their hour of
triumph was at hand. But these hopes and
expectations were doomed to ignominious
overthrow at the polls .by ihe election of
Abraham Lincoln, and on the field of battle
by our army. under the command of Gen.
Grant. [Applause.] Overwhelmed by this
disaster, political and military, the rebels
gave up in despair, declared their Cause
the "lost cause," and humbly sued - for
life, liberty and, property, professing to be
deeply grateful for the generous terms
they :were offered.
Of the causes that led to the rebellion and
the justification of a nation in prosecuting
the war, it is needless here to dwelt. They
are fresh in your recollection.. The graves
of 300,000 patriot soldiers, slain in battle
by the rebels are still green, the tears
of orphans and widows and bereaved
parents still flow, and the maimed and
woundpd soldiers around us are - living me
morials ofthe cruelty of the rebels in their
war against the government of the United
States.
You will bear in mind, hewever, that the
rebellion was occasioned by a thirty years,
conspiracy of those whom Mr. Johnson
happily termed the slave holdingoligarchy
of the Southern States, an oligarchy based
upon a landed- monopoly and alive labor:
This slaye-holding aristocracy thirsted to
extend their territorial and political power,
and by extending their system into the free
States to obta n a monopoly 'of the fertile
land and rich minerals of those States, and
ultimate' to obtain ,control of the Gov- i
ernment,
Experience has shown that the sy
of free labor and slave labor arolmstilestem and
cannot exist together, so that a foothold of
slavery is an impassible barrier to free em
igration and would give to the slave holders
not only a monopoly of lands, products and
minerals,, but command of the great chan
nel of commerce to the Padtle and to the
nations of the East, and would make them
the richest people on the face of the globe.
••This ambitious aim was sternly resisted
in the Northern States. Mindral of the for
' tunes of war and fearful 'otlelfty, the first
election of Mi. Lincoln was deemed by the
slave holders a fitting occasion fer the out
break of rebellion. On the day after The,
Presidential election the flag of the United
States was hauled down and the Palmetto'
flag ran up in Charleston. Conventions'
for secession were asked in all the
slaveholdiug States, and very soon
ten States organized at M mtgomery the sO
called Confederate Government, hostile to
the Government of the United States, and
transferred its capital to Richmond. Im
mediately afterwards forts, arsenals; mag
azines, arms, ammunition, ship-yards, ships
of war, and the public money, were seized
and converted to the purp ass of the rebel
lion. The navigation of the Ohio and Po
tomac rivers was closed. The Northern
men and Northern women were impritioned
orbanished from the slaveholding S•ates.
Armies wore levied, the forts and troops of
the United States were besieged, bombard
ed and captured, and the capital of 'the na
tion at Washington was beleaguered and
threatened by hostile forces.
In this ,condition of thines the first
troops were called out in defense of his
nation, and the first war loan negotiated,
and for every life that has been lost, every
drop of blood that has been expended,
every dollar that has been laid out, every
bond or note that has been issued, every
tax that has been collected, the slave-hold
ing aristocracy are responsible—they and
their sympathisers in the North and West
ern States who urged them to hold on, 'to
carry on the war until they could obtain
control of the Government _at - the next
Presidential electioe. .
The measures of Mr. Lincoln to defend
the government received the highest sane.
tion. The government and leg slatures of
the loyal States vied with each other in
urging enlistments. Congress at its first
session voted thousands of men and billions
of dollars to support him. The people
ll:eked ,by thousands and thousands, to
join the army. The soldiers in every
a .mp front the Mississippi to the
'Rapidan, from every corps, brigade,
regiment and company • shouted to
their brethren at Lime to Stand by the
Government and rally round the flag.
These measures of defense were not with
out opposition, for about ihe very, time
Sherman and his army were forcing their .
way over _the, fortltioations and entrench
m, nts of Atranta,",a ;Detnocratio Conven
tion at Chicago declared the war o failure
and demanded •a- cessation of hostilities.
This made a plain, - broad Usu.., which
was soon to become the leading issue of
the Presidential canvass. The result was
the &Edelen of twenty-one States, two huh- .
dred and thirteen electoral votes, and Dyer
twenty Millions of ; people supported their
Government.
The estimate of General Grant upon this
result Wexpressed in thd following tele
gram: .
'.Cie y Point, Novensber 10, 1814, Hon. Ed
win M. Stanton, Secretary of War—Enough
now seems to be known to say who is
hold the reins of government for the next
four v ears. I congratulate the President
for his double victory. The election hav
ing passed off quietly with no blood shed
or riot throughout the land is a victory
worth more to the Government than a- bat:
tie won. RebLdom and Europe will con
strue it so.

and by the army, on, the let of

a blow at the' root of the rebellion y the
emancipation procla Lion , liberatin four
millions of slaves, s rengthening o it
jar
mies and carrying ii• may to the h art of
the rebels. The fu ll effect of this • great
measure was not a parent until netr the
close of the war; but now, when the resto
ration of slavery is a cheriShed hope of
those most hostile to the general govern
ment, it cannot be too well considered. The
wealth and power of the rebels were main
()
ly in their slaves. Th ey were the laboring
and producing class, nd without their la
bial. the plantations w re 6flittle value. . By
a system of enforce and unpaid labor the
rebel master was ableto sow his lands,gath
er his crop, and even clothe his family,
and.furnish supplies to the army, while
the whole white population could engage
in war. It was thus that slavery was found
to be ft mighty - engine of war, more pow-.
erful than belonged to any other people.
•But it was quite different in the Northern
States. Every Union soldier who left his
home to ioin the army went from the farm,
the workshop or the manufactory, and di
minished the productive industry of the
State. In his absence the crops were un
gathered and rotted upon the ground, the
hammer was silent. the manufactory stood
still. lie had no slave to do his labor and
support his family for nothing. But the
emancipation of the slaves changed the
position of parties. The slaves left the
plantations and flocked wahin our lines.
Thousands upon thousands joined our
armies and performed military work. The
condition of the war was, therefore, in some
degree equa ized, and this great act ef Mr.
Lincoln's carried dismay into the hearts of
the rebels and strengthened the, hearts of
loyal people. Besides, a large and power
ful party, who regarded slavery as God
forbidden and a crime, and had been labor=
log for years to abolish or lirhit it, gathered
new hope and joined to help to bring the
war v.) a close.
The eminent speaker then explained how
essential was credit and good faith to a
government, and that no government can
exist without debt in time of warj corn par-,
ing France, Russia, Austria, Great Britain,
Spain, Italy and the Papal States—all
the powers of the world rely on 'their
credit, the same in the United States; how
in the commencement of the war the coun
try had no arms or ammunition,' accoutre
ments, ships of war, or money; -the people
sustained the government by having
good faith, and thus the country was
sustained and conducted in safety. He
said, then, on the meeting of Congress loans
were issited and moneys wore received;
the several acts of Congress were also exe
cuted, as the civil rights bill; the measures
adopted for the cast off of the rebellion;
the measures taken for the widows, the or
phans and the wounded. Then eulogizing
Grant as the greatest commander in the
world, asking why he should not be elec
ted; and Colfax. who filled ono of the high
est offices in the land,occupying the Speak
er's chair three times in succefesion. He
said ifa man would hide from the boy, the
gun which his father carried through our
battles, and on his death bed, with bleed
ing Wounds, bequeathed it to the boy, that
man w,' , uld not vote for Grant. The speak
er gave a touching narrative of Gen. Grant's
life, all his career from a boy until a Gov
ernorlipppirktetlhitn as a Colonel to a re
fractory regirtientOitirrating — all tbellArtla
won until the great capture of Richrrfond.
Ile beautifully described the parties that
would not vote for Grant—rebels and rebel
sympathizers.
Ile alluded to the New York Convert-,
ti-n, to the revolutionary letter of F. P.
Blair before the Convention, demonstrat
ing the danger, In thrilling eloquence, M at
this form of government would be fore er
lost. The financial question was also ably
discussed, pro , lug that it was not the issue
of the Southern rebels but left tothe North
ern Demeci am It meant repudiation.
• He next alluded to the bravery of-our
army and our navy, narrating in superb
language the different marshes, describing
vividly our battles and our naval combats,+
our victories and trophies of war.
Mr. Blanton concluded his brilliant
\ i
speech with an eloquent appeal to all loyal
people, to all who have their country at
heart, o work • assiduously, to work with
ardor, and by the election of Grant give
liberty, contentment and happiness for you
and the party forever.

MEETING AT CITY HALL.
Outpouring of th Loyal Masses.
ADDRESS BY GEN. JAMES R. HAWLEY
Last night the crowds who were so dis
appointed the day before in being prevent
ed by the rain from meeting on theCorn
mons to hear the speeches which the same
cause prevented, assemtned . at City Hall—
at least as many of.theni as could be got
ten into that vast anditerium. Numbers
grew into the innumarable, hundreds into
thousands, and the cry was "still they
come." The fame of some of the best pub
lic speakers in the nation drew many there,
but the majority went out of pure patriot
ism, intending to show that nothing could
deter Republicans from turning out, and
that the precautions of the Committee on
Thursday in deferring the speaking, how
ever wise, was by no means necessary.
All who were there last night, however,
were glad they were, and had enough en
thusiasm left in them after the washing out
they got on Thnrsday to scare the Demo
crats as Maine or the procession did the
Pm/ and its editors. ,

Prof. Pope was introduced, and enter
tained tne meeting with a new campaign
song.
Dr. McCook was then introduced to the
meeting. He announced that Gen. Fisher,
who Was to have addressed the meeting,
was On account of sickness in his family
compelled to leave the city, and conse
quently con .d not be present.
'Dr. McCook then said that he regretted
that his name had been announced as one
I of the speakers of the' meeting, as it was
L w 43.1 known that on a former occasion his
duties had been so arduous as to injure his
health; but Le could not say that be en
tfrelrlitigretted- tOni - bilt bead- ivaa whi t te
with the frosts ef.over.Beatnik winters
and his "sands of life nearly run out," and
before another four years rolled around he
would have passed away,. and before he
was called from 'this stage of action he
wished to leave a record behind him that
his children would not be aithaniedof. -He
called upon all present to witness that he
would die, advocating the cause of consti
tutional liberty. He wished them to bear
testimony that he was opposed to repudia
tion of every, kirid. He had been, engaged
in politics fbr many years, and he had
never in all his life, seen victory so plainly
portrayed in any contest as in the present
one. After a short review of the Democ
racy in his usual style, Dr. McCook closed
his remarks and introduced to the meeting
GEN. 708. R. HAWLEY, OF CONNECTICUT.
Gem Hawley said -It hardly seemed
necessary .o him that there should be any
more speaking. in P.tt-burgh, from the ma
jorities Allegheny 'county had given in
times gone by, when the country was in
danger, and from the demonstration he had
seen on Thursday, the people were evident
ly well posted on all the issues of the day
and the importance of these issues. But
ho supposed thatthe majority could be in
creased here as well as a oywhere else. He
sa d the Republicans throughout the land
were looking to Pennsylvania with intense
interest, and if Pennsylvania will give
thirty or forty thousand majority in Octo
ber,
the election of Grant would be certain.
He had been aver a considerable portion of
the State and he never saw so much earn
estness of purpdse in any contest. The
peot‘le were full of enthusiasm and full of
hope. Ho held', hat practically, the war
w. s not ended,.literally it was he knew,
for the rebels had` laid down - their -arms,
or rather General Grant= got them in
a corner and took their arms from
them, and if he had not done so. they
would still have been fighting us. He then
reviewed int length the cause of the war,
and the record of the two parties relative
to the same, and tha condition of thes.oun
try at the time of Lincoln's election. At
torney General Black said that we bad no
power to coerce ,the South.' Floyd bad
stolen the arms and munitions of war from
the Government and shipped them South.
and Cobb had destroyed the credit of the.
Government, while Toucey had scattered
the navy to the four winds of the earth.
The crowned heads of Europe bad said that
our Goverhment could not withstand the
shock of a revolution; but the past' bad
Proven that it could.. The speaker then re
ferred to the patriotism of the people dur-
log the war, and the promptness with which
they responcird to the calla of the Govern-.
m nt for men and moneys The Democracy,
he said were complaining and lamenting the
mood t of blood and treasure expended to
conquer the rebels. This was to bee K pec
ted of them. They had objec ed to the war
iiiid to any measure of'the government to
suppress the tebellion. They objected to
the employment of the negro, in the army,
and also opposed granting to the soldier the
right to vote, He, knew there were many
Democrats in the, arm
they; but he wi- lied it to
be remembered tha had entered it In
opposition to the advice of every democrat
ic paper and platform in the nation, and
he could not see how they could now asso
ciate with those men, politically who had
called them "Lincoln hirelings."
~ In speaking of the manner in which the
war had been prosecuted, he read the reso
lutions presented in Congress in lB6t,
by Winter Davie, of Maryland, a Demo
crat, which he said had been followed to
the letter, yet his Democratic friends com
plain of it.
Never had a war been conducted n a
more Christian manner by 'a 'y nation in
the world. • Christianity followed the sword
from the Potomac to the Gulf.;, As the ar
my rprogressed churches we• e I paned,
schools were opened' and that most chart?
'table and Christian" l3 a to of all institution'',
the Freedmen'su,waa organized, and
the hungry were fed, no matter.what their
color or condithin. In the little district
which be commanded fifteen thousand bad
been cared for, and among that' number
were the wives mothers and daughters . f
rebels, who received the bounty of thegov-
ernment, while just across the line were
the sons, husbands and brothers,with their
rifles in their hands ready to take the life
of Union men, yet the Democrats were op
posed to the Freedmen's Bureau.
In such a christian spirit had the war
beenprosecnted that notwithstanding thir
teen thousand of the nation's loyal sons
were starved to death, and lay in their
graves at Andersonville, not a single one of
their murderers had been hung. The gov
ernment had not been uncharitable in any
respect, but on the other hand had shown
too much leniency, yet the Democrats
grumble. Slavery was emancitiated, but
not until it became a matter of neceassity.
For two long years the war-had been pros
ecuted without success, and during all that
time the cry was descending from above
as to the Egyptians ofancient days, "let my
People go," and not until they were liber
ated were our armies successful. They ask
us what we gained by the war, and pro
nounce it a lailure in the faee of the fact
that the shackles have beeni : l u noken from
il
four millions of slaves, an ac 'evement of
which any nation in the world should be
proud.
The Constitutional amendments were
then taken up and discussed in an able and
forcible manner. The XlVth amendment;
he said, contained six points, the second of
which, the correction of the basis of repre
sentation, was the great cause of the pres
ent trouble. The Democracy opposed it
both North and South, not on account of
its illegality or unjustness, but because it
would wrest from them the probability of
getting control of the Government. -It-la
well known that under the old method the
e ght million of whitesln the South had a
representation in the National Congress
equal to that of twelve million of white
m-n in the North, and t:•at in South Caro
lina the vote of 'one white man was equal to
that of two men in Pennsylvania, and it
was to correct this that the amendment was
darned. The Democracy opposed/ it bo
cause under the old order of things the
South, instead of loosing by the war, gained
even more than they had asked for. Han
the amendment not been adopted the
S , uth would have sent a delegation to Con
gre.s of ninety members, most of them offi
cers and members of the late Confederate
government, and it would only require
nineteen Democratic votes from the
North to give them a majority, and
who could not fortell the result.
They would then have •the control of the
entire Government, when they only origi
nally asked for the control of eleven States,
and it. woulth be run in the interests of
slavery and secession. The millions of
money expended and the hundreds of
thousands of lives sacrificed would have
all been in vain. Still the Democracy ob
ject to the amendment.
In speaking of the'state of affairs in the
South he said that they had civil war there
at the present time, just as much as powder
is tire—it only wants the spark to set it
ablaze, and the only way to prevent it was
to elect Grant. The policy of these South
ern Democrats is portrayed in the letter of
Blair, which secured him the nomination.
The speaker here read extracts from the
Blair-Broadhead letter, and said that no
matter what side issues might be forced
into the / canvass the reconstruction ques
tion was the main issue. - •
Eioldiug up a jgreenback he said it was
8611101:Ling .that the..Detnocratie,partv-had-
got in the habit of calling money, and they
wanted us to legislate accordingly and make
it money. The Republicans had adopted
it as money when it was necessary, but it
was only tempor-ry. It did not . pretenci to
be money, it was simply a promise to par '
money. The Republicans had taken it as
a shipwrecked man would to a raft. It
had brought them to the harbor and tha
Democrats now wanted to stick to
the raft, but the Reublicans saS. no.
Having arrived Iliffely in the harbor
they prefer a ship or a house: He -then
gave Mr. Pendleton's theery of pa 3 ing the
5-20 bonds in' greenbacks- for the purpose
of paying the national debt. — He denied
the right to pay . them in greenbacks, but_
admitting the right, said that the Govern
ment would be foolish to adopt the plan.
We were told, he said, that gold was worth
51,43, which was a mistake and one by
which many - people were misled. Gold
was cheaper than it ever was; California
and Australia had sent more of It into the
market during the past year than in any
previous year. It was not confined to this .
Government but circulated in every nation
!of the globe. It would be more correct to
say that greenbacks were only wortn seven
ty cents on the dollar. And if they were
so depreciated now what would they be
worth, in three years if Mr. Pendieton'S
theory -was adopted? According to Mr.
Pe,ndleton's' doctrine it only required a
paper mill and a printing press to make all
the money a nation wanted. How_would it '
be in the end? Greenbacks would be de
preciated until they were not worth five
cents on the dollar, and they would be
repudiated, winch was the intent and
tnecning of the plan-. no matter how they •
attempted to conceal it. He held that we
should gradually return to specie payment,
and that would make the greenback. as
good as gold.
The speaker then referred to the question
of taxation and denied the right to
tax the bonds. He said that no State
could tax them and it would be a broach
of the public lath for the national G •vern
ment to do so. The credit of a nation
was based upon its honor, and not upon
ability to pay. No nation in the World
was more able to pay than the United'
States, yet our bonds bettitng six per cent.;
interest in gold, were only wet.- h seventy-:
nine cents on the dollar' in England, while •
English tkonsals , at three per cont. were -
worth.ninety-six cents. This he said
was because they lacked faith in our hen. '
estv, and it was all on the account of the
hosyliiiks of the Democracy. He then re
vietved the course of the Democracy during
the war, mid held that a had been a dishon
orable one from the beginning.
The speaker then briefly reviewed the
records of the candidates for the Presiden
cy, referring to Grant as the greatest sol
dier of the times, and con , resting his con
duct ou the Fourth of July, 18d3, with that
of Seymour, who upon that dity addressed
a meeting of Democrats in Tammany Hall;
New York. lie concluded by proposing
nine cheers for Grant and COlfax, which
was responded to by the entire audience.
Prof. Pope being loudly called for, sang
"The Two Copperheads."
The Chairman then Introduced to the
meeting Gen. Lewis Barker, of Maine, who
declined making an extended address as
he had an arpointment to till in Allegheny
this evening. He however, found time to
"go through" the Pcmt, a copy of which he
had p eked up on the cars, and in which it
- was Mated that the Republican majority
in Maine was only 18,000,(
'-The meeting then adjourned with three
che I's for Maine.

marks, rell oted upon • our reporter unde
