THE ISSUE.

Incendiary Speech of William %lotfd Garrison—The President Called a Traitor—The Capitol Declared to be in

Danger of Seizure by Mr. JohnsonSeward a Fallen Lucifer—Regret that the Secretary of State Survived Assassination. The last lecture of the Fraternity Course —"The North Victorious"—was deUvfi?ed a few nights since at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, by Mr. William Lloyd Garrison. Having been introduced with a very enthusiastic eulogy, and welcomed with tremendous applause, he spoke as follows:

FRIENDS AND FELLOW COUNTRYMEN: This is the first time I have ever had the privilege and honor of addressing a public audience in Brooklyn, but I must present myself on this .occasion as I have done every-where for many years past, as an original, uncompromising Garrisonian abolitionist. [Applause.] The theme I have chosen for this occasion may seem to some singularly inopportune but when I chose it for this occasion, the astounding events of the last ten days had not transpired.

FEW WORDS TO MR. BEECHERr I have been very kindly and generously introduced to you by my esteemed friend, the pastor of Plymouth church. I can appropriate nothing of his eulogy to myself, excepting this, that I have always endeavored to be true to principle and to the cause of human freedom impartially. [Applause.] He indicated that while he held my labors in the highest esteem, still he had never been able to stand on my plane or to accept my method. I hardly know how to meet a .ui.mgui, of tKat Mud, Uecause it is so indefinite. Why, my plane has been simply the Declaration of American Independence, and I know that Henry Ward Beechcr can stand upon that and does stand upon it. [Applause.] My method has simply been always to remember those in bonds as bound with them—no other. I have endeavored to be uncompromising in my position to slavery in this couutry, and have spoken the truth fearlessly and faithfully to men, and parties and sects, in both sections of our country, to the Church, to the State. I have at last the satisfaction of seeing slavery forever abolished in our land, and the year of jubilee ushered in.

Mr. Garrison then proceeded to the subject of hia lccture. He claimed that his views were neither morbid nor over hopeful, but were simply an impartial statement of fact. The South were not victorious, despite the many seeming triumphs which had crowned their efforts. Mr. Garrison then enumerated every measure which, in his opinion, the South had unlawfully and reprehensibly perpetrated against the North, and Northern men and ideas. At the mention of the attack upon Mr. Sumner by Mr. Brooks in the Senate, the audience interrupted him with loud and several times repeated applause. The lecturer remarked, so soon as he could again be heard:

ORAWFORDSVILLE MOffTOOffERY COUNTY, INDIANA, MA.R0H in. Tmr

tlI

see you

do not agree with the President in his estimate of Charles Sumner." He next read a number of extracts, which he characterized ns "bombastic, insane, salanic. diatribes," from the Southern papers published about the outbreak of the rebellion. The feeling in the rebel States, he said, had not yet changed, and such extracts were still a fair picture of the prevailing tone of opinion among southern men. After stating his conviction of the necessity and the justice of granting suffrage to the emancipated blacks, Mr. Garrison said, with reference to the present condition of affairs: Having spent the last ten days in Washington it will doubtless be expected that on this occasion I shall make some reference to President Johnson, his reconstruction policy, his veto of the Frecdmen's Bureau Bill, and his late extraordinary delivery at the White House on the 22d inst. First, as to himself. not my wont to be hasty in condemning any man or any body of men. I have always endeavored to avoid personalities as far as possible, Siid to be within ratker than a hairbreadth beyond the truth in condemnation and censure.

JEFF. DAVIS OUGHT TO BE HANGED. On his succeeding the lamented Lincoln, I was led by the whole body of loyal, liberty-loving citizens to hope and believe that Andrew Johnson would be even more erect in dealing with the trait-^ ors of the South than his predecessor. When he announced to the country tbat

PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S POLICY On the matter of reconstruction, about which there may be honest differences of opinion, I knew Mr. JohnBon bad his own line of policy, and that he was disposed to adhere to it with great tenacity *, but I did not bolieve that he "ould venture,

inflexibly to array himself against Congress,'and against the clear expression of popular will, as he is now defiantly doing, [Applause.] Enough that his policy causes universal disquietude and alarm among the loyal masses, and that: it receives the warm approval of all Southern rebels, on the one ha«fl, and the Northern copperon the other. As a sagacious man wimtnurther evidence «an he need, what further evidence can he have in his sober senses [aPPlause], that he is unfortunately on the wrong track, and therefore, sljould, patriotically and immediately, retrace his stepsi But if he defiantly insists on goifi'g ahead on that downward direction, then I trust that Congress will stand like an impregnable wall to- prevent his doing so, come what *may. [Appinuse.] Njiy, more I would have them wipe out from, the slate all that he has done in the matter of reconstruction, and begin the wofk anew,"as alone constitutionally^ empowered to inaugurate and perfect it from the foundation to the top stone. With all deference to his exalted position, I deny the right of President Johnson, under the war power, or any other power intrusted to him, to do any more in rebeldom than to'hold it with a firm military grasp, until Congress shall determine when, how and where, elections shall be held, who shall be allowed to vote, and what shall be the necessary conditions precedent to the readmission into the Union of the late self-styled Confederate States. [Applause.] THE ISSUE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND

CONGRESS.

On this point of reconstruction President Johnson takes issue with Congress and with the loyal people of the country, upon wK~=o oauuiiou ana support Conpress may rely with absolute certainty. [Applause.] He insists that those conquered but treasonably disposed States arc in the Union as of old, and therefore entitled to be immediately represented in both Houses of Congress. He ventures to brand that noble body (Congress) as not only contumacious but guilty of despotic usurpation in refusing their admission, without additional guarantees as to their loyalty. Yet he has not announced by proclamation, either that the war is ended, or that peace is restored. He continues to hold those States in subjection to his will, as Commander-in-chief of the army and navy, under, the war power, suspending even to this hour the writ of habeas corpus. Thus he condemns himself out of his own mouth, and fully vindicates the action of Congress a Congress which on the score of intelligence, ability, moral worth, exalted patriotism, respect for justice, and love of impartial liberty, has never been equaled since the formation of the American Government. [Applause, cries of that's so, together with hisses.] The usurpation is on his own part in attempting to bidly Congress into servile acquiescene to his imperious demand, for it is the constitutional prerogative of that body alone to decide when and how States may be taken into the Union, and it will not surrender thpt prerogative at the bidding of an accidental occupant of the presidential chair, even though the powers of hell rally to his support. For whatever of violence, of tumult or confusion may grow out of his high handed order, the dread responsibility will rest exclusively upon his own head, and he will be held to a strict accountability by an indignant and betrayed parts.

THE VETO.

In putting his veto to the bill enlarging the means and powers of that beneficent and truly patriotic and Christain department, the Freedmen's Bureau, he has indeed exercised a right accorded to him by the Constitution, but the animus which pervades that veto, and the sophistry which characterizes it, and the unjustallegations contained in it, will be perceived and pondered by"4he overwhelming mass of the humane, loyal, patriotic and Christain men and women of the land, abd who in their turn will put an effective veto upon him aritt his pretensions. [Apl plause If there is any disregard of the Constitution any disunionism, any spirit and design, any wish to pervert and overturn our free government, it is not tfh the pifrt of those who are execrated and abhorred for their unswerving loyalty by

fmpathizers,

jjkSoutnlrn rebels and their Northern but on his part who is nov^ receiving the plaudits of those rebels and sympathizers universally.

THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. Who constituted the great body of the crowd that marched to the White'House on Thursday last and drew from him that

treason ^was a crime^which ought^to *be isycech'tf-which, for its indecency, bombast, malignity, find treasonable leaning, there are no words fitly to characterize, and for which, with other wciglffy reasons, he ought to be indicted by that grand inquest, the

punished, I supposed, as you all did, that he meant what he said that he had• his eye at least upon one traitor, the Co^ssus of them all in crime, Jefferson Davis. If Jeff. Davis is not hanged by this Government, then, judging the Government on its own plane, I say that it will be recreant to its duty. [Applause.] Or if ho should be allowed to go free, I say then let us forever abolish the gallows in this country, in all cases whatever, to the end of time, for no man can ever commit crime enough to deserve to be hanged. [Applause.]

United States House of Representatives, tried by the Senate, and, for the peace and safety of the coutitry, dismissed from office. [Loud and long applause.] That mob was constituted, as every loyal man in Washington knows, of rebels and their copperhead abettors, almost to a man, the low, the vile and the desperate. These^ were the backers of President Johnson, rending the air with their jubilant shouts as he made that harangue which as it circulates through the land, is filling all rebeldom with Satanic jubilation, and all copporheaddom with hope of victory. When the bottomlesB pit is in full chorus it is not for sops of good men to join in tuno. [Lang"htcr and applause.] Takft

that speech where you may, if the brutal, the drunken, the seditions, the negro-hat-ing, the tyrannical pf spirit and design are there, it will receive their unanimous applause. If, unhappily, here and there, there are those who are not of that stamp who also approve that speech, then so much the worse for them, and the more inexcusable and inexplicable is their conduct. Listen to the New York World the Daily News and the Herald, the old trinity described in the Scriptures as "the world, the flesh and the devil." Mr. GarrisoE.^then read passages from the editorials which recently appeared ^in these disreputable papers with referci^e to the President and his late measures, favoring the audience with a running com ment.

II. J. RAYMOND WORSE THAN A REBEL. He next produced an extract from the Times, which was received with vehement hisses. He then said: If you will pardon the bad grammer for the sake of the truth let me say that the Times is out of joint, and its editor deserves a heavier condemnation than any of his secession associates. He, alas! has gone over to the enemy in a manner which covers with a disastrous eclipse his old fame as a friend of freedom and as the announcer of the irrepressible conflict and the higher law. SECRETARY SEWARD A FALLEN* LUCIFER.

You have seen the telegram sent by Mr. Seward to President Johnson after the delivery of that infamous spceeh. "It is all right and safe the Union is restored and the country \a safe the President's speech is triumphant, and the country will be happy." [Hisses.] How art thou uh Lucifer, son of the morning. It had been far bcttter for thee to have died beneath the stabs of the assassin Payne than to have survived and forwarded such a besotted telegram to the Presidential leader of the rebel and copperhead forces of the couutry. God may forgive you, but a betrayed parts never will. MR. BEECIIER HAS GOT OFF THE TRACK.

But what shall be said or what shall be thought of the lecture delivered here a week ago by the gifted, the eloquent [applause], beloved, warm-hearted, well-in-tentioned, but strangely-out of the way Pastor of Plymouth Church—of that portion of it which spoke in eulogistic terms of President Johnson in connection with his veto of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill. I happened to be in Washington when the veto was read to Congress, and as soon as I heard it I spewed it out of my mouth with unutterable disgust, for I don't train in company with the New York World or James Gordon Bennett. I only wish that Mr. Beecher could have heard, as I did, the admirable speech by Senator Trumbull, in refutation of that veto—a speech which showed that the President had either grossly misconccived or wickedly misrepresented every part of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill. His speech not only broke that veto in pieces, but pulverized and blew it to the four winds of heaven. AN IMPARTIAL CRITICISM OF THE PRESI­

DENT'S SPEECH.

Mr. Garrison then proceeded to read over passages from the President's speech on the 22d, criticising them as he went along. He spoke with indignation of the President's attempt to brand some of the noblest men our country can boast of, whose loyalty is beyoud all suspicion or doubt, as fit to be named in the same category with the Slidells and the Davises. With respect to the remarks of' the President bearing upon tbe possibility of his sharing the fate of Charles I. of England he said: "This artful attempt on the part of the President to assume to be in danger of his life is, in my judgment, simply done for the purpose of imperilling the lives of Charles Sumner and Thad. Stevens, and men of that stamp. THE PRESIDENT'S MOTIVES AND ASPIR­

ATIONS.

President Johnson undertakes to stigmatize Congress as a seditious body, a disunion body. What is his meaning of this? It is to wake up popular vengeance it is to bring upon Congress the hatred and wrath of the wild and violent men. I tell you we have not a sober man in the Presidential chair, and such a man with such habits does riot know from day to da^ and hour to hour what he will doj» and yet dares to brand the Congress of the United States as a disloyal and disu nion body. He means, if he dare, to perform coup d' etat and either to insist at the point of the bayonet upon having those

Southern rebels put- into both Houses of Congress, or drive Congress out of the capital. I believe that the capitol is in greater danger now than it ever was, and were it not that Lieutenant-general Grant is living, it would be lost. So long as General Grant lives and occupies his present position, perhaps his tyrannical demand may not be made. [Applause.] Mr. Garrison closed his lecture with an appeal to the people of the State of New York, to do justice to the black man and place him, with regard to suffrage, on the same level with the white man.

WHOLE NUMBER 1226

Dcatli of Dr. ffott.

Eliphalet Nott died at Schenectady at three o'clock Monday iflorning. For three or four years past tlie aged man has been evidently on the brink of the grave His mind was broken, his memory gone,but his wonderful bodily constitution still maintained its vitality. At last he is gone, full of years and of honors.

Dr. Nott was born in Ashford, Windham county, Connecticut, on June 25, 1773. He was a self educated man, studied theology, and at the ago of twentyone became a missionary in the then wild region of Central New York. He was first settled as a pastor over the Presbyterian church at Cherry Valley. Hia fame as a preacher became great, and ha soon removed to Albany. In the year 1804 he became President of Union College, and that office he has filled ever since. Some 4,000 students have been educated there during his administration. The present repute ofr.the College is.due mainly to him. It is his crcationi In various ways he has raised money to pay its debts and^endow its professorships. He has given it form, organization, life' and character. No autocrat was ever more supreme in his dominions than Dr. Nott in Union College. His executive abilities were wonderful, as was also his power over men. He would have filled a •%. large space in any sphere of activity.. As a public-speaker, whether in the pulpit og. the lecturer's desk, he hnd in his prime »'gj^ few superiors. His figure was large, hia presence commanding, his address persuasive. He had his own way with an audience as with men in general. Ho was a 3 man of extraordinary force and pertinacity of will, and knew twenty modes of doing a thing. Among the young men of the college his popularity was astonish-

Nobody Punished In tbe Sontb. What rccord is this! These radicals have for years howled for Southern blood and now the Inst utterance of the most prominent of these radicals is a reiteration, a prolongation of the same old sanguinary cry. "lias any body been punished?" demands the indignant Wade. "AVhose blood lias been shed?" clamors the ferocious Jacobin. Nobody has been hung. Nobody been punished. No more Southern wives made widows. No more Southern chil« dren made orphans. No more Southern men sent to tlie gallows. No more women and childron given to penury and starvation. "No man has been punished." Poor Wadoy who has been denied the privilege of quaifiing the purple life-fluid of the South. Poor Hatfield, who thanked God for the murder of Mr. Lincoln, so that he, Hatfield, might dabble his ItfRigry jaws in Southern gore. Poor radicals all, who have hoped and prayed and labored for months for the erection of gibbets in every Southern raan's dooryard. "Nobody punished!" Tho South is to-day almost a desert. Its iSHustry is destroyed, its homesteads ruins, its sons by tens of thousands have been slain, its wives widowed, its children orphaned, its rich men reduced to poverty, its remaining population burdened with debt and taxation. And yet "nobody is is punished," says Wade "and nobody has been punished," is echoed by the radical press all through the North. President Lincoln had "malicc toward none and charity for all," and

God smote him, says Hatfield. President Johnson labors to restore the broken Union, instead of erecting gibbets all over the South, and he is a usurper, says Stevens, and a traitor says Wade.

PIGEON SHOOTING.—A pigeon roost about sixteen miles from Bedford, in the edge of Martin county, is affording great sport to the shooters in that neighborhood. We understand that General J. W. McMillan is enthusiastically engaged in "dropping the pigeon," and every night slaughters his thousand. The roost covers a scope of territory ten miles long two miles wide, the trees being literally broken down by the weight of birds. Besides those shot by hunters, thousands are killed every night by the breaking of tho branches upon which they^ settle. When they take wing the roar is heard for miles. It is impossible to compute the number of birds in the roost, and it is a mystery where they all find food enough to keep in good condition

THRILLING SCENE IN A MENAGERIE IN CONNECTICUT.—We learn from the Bridgeport Farmer that a serious accident happened to John D. Hurlhurt Esq., of Kidgefield, a few days since. He was ia Danbury, and accepted an invitation to look at Baily's wild animals, whici aref wintering in that town. In going the'^/*^^. rounds of the building he ventured to^i put his hand upon a lion, being assured by the keeper, who was handling that he could do so with safety. Instant-^ ly the lion seized Mr. H. by the right* wrist with his teeth, and pulled liim witl such violence, and rapidity to'the grSfeljfr of the cage in fthich tlie^anftmalvwas COH*| fined, that Mr. H. received a large*ahd severe bruise just below the shoulder. With rare presence of mind he offered no resistance, and, in this manner, probably* saved his hand. He was held by the lion in this position full minute, uq|ijl some one procured a board and strtWK the animal over the head, when partially releasing its hold to growl at the assailant, Mr. H. was enabled to withdraw his hand but, in so doing, the under tooth of the lion raked the flesh open from the wound on the wrist to the center of the hand. The wound is a very bad and poisonous one, and Mr. Hurlberthas suffered intensely from it. Oiijfiundfiy afterottftn, however, he was easier^rad it was thought ... the inflammation did not increased
