The true and the proper use of the . military power, besides defending the : National honor against foreign Nations, I is to uphold the laws and civil govern- ' ment and to secure to every person residing among us the enjoyment of life, liberty and property. The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, the natural rights of property must be prserved. Power may destroy the forms hut not the principles of justice. These will live in spite of the sword. The great principles of American liberty still are the lawful inheritance of thispeople and ever shoiddfbe. Armed insurrections or forcible resistance to the law will be instantly repressed by arms. Nothing can intimidate me from doing what I believe to be honest and right. Arbitrary power has no exception. Another 31 uncock Republican. [Adrian, Mich., Press.] As an instance of Hancock’s broad, generous sympathy, and his devotion to the interests of his soldiers, we mention the case of a soldier who now resides in this city, who was known for his courage and pluck. We refer to Judson Beech, who, at the battle of Gettysburg!!, had been overcome with the heat, and was left by his companions under a tree to care for himself. He wits utterly prostrate and unable to move, and found death staring him in the face. General Hancock and staff came galloping by. and as the gallant commander saw the prostrate soldier under the tree, he reined in his horse and asked what ailed him. Beech was unable to reply, except with a groan. Hancock leaped from horse, and. kneeling down by the soldier, soon learned what was the trouble. He at once produced a flask of liquor and a canteen of water, and after giving him a drink, proceeded with his own hands to bathe Beech’s fade and head, and succeeded in so far restoring him that he could speak. Hancock then ordered an ambulance and sent him off the field. “And now when he saved my life, can I forget him ?" says Beech: and though he has ever been a Republican, there is no danger of his ever forgetting the big-hearted General who cared for the private soldier. Beech was too good a soldier to forget. Census returns from every district in the State of Oregon are received, and shows a population of 175.535—an increase of 93 per cent, since 1870.

•25,000 Democrats At Hew York’s Ratification! Samuel J. Tilden Presides Over the Meeting. New York. July 28.—Twenty-five thousand Democratic voters of the City of New York assembled last evening in the Academy of Music, Irving Hall and Nilsson Hall, and on Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets ami Irving Place, to ratify the nomination of Winfield Scott Hancock for President, ami William H. English for \ ice-President. Every seat in the Academy of Music was occupied, and nearly one thousand men sat on its capacious stage. Irving and Nilsson Halls were filled to their utmost capacity. Irving Place from Fourteenth to Fifteenth street was densely crowded. The Academy of Music was elaborately decorated. ’

Over the front of t!ie stage were lifesize portraits of Hancock and English, surmounted by the national colors. Other portraits of the candidates hung on the wall at the back of the stage. Under General Hancock s portrait was the inscription : “Nothing can intimidate me from doing what I believe to be honest and right.’’—W. S. Hancock. And under the portrait of Wm. H. English was a strip of bunting, on which was printed : “A pure, economical, Constitutional Government, that will protect the liberty and prosperity of the people —that the Democracy proposes to stand by,” —W. H. English. National flags were suspended from the proscenium and mezzarine boxes, and stripes of red white and blue bunting hung in festoons from the box tier and from the gallery. The balconies were mounted with flags, and Chinese lanterns hung over Fourteenth street and over Irving Place. Soon after eight o’clock Samuel J. Tilden stepped from behind the flies on the right of the stage, and. escorted by John McKeon and Mayor Cooper walked toward the Speaker's stand. He was followed by General Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, Congressman Randolph Tucker, of Virginia; Senator C. W. Jones, of .Florida, and the other speakers of the evening. As Mr. Tilden withdrew’ his arm from that of John McKeon he was seen by the audience. Instantly 5,000 people w’ere on their feet, cheering and shouting and making other demonstrations of satisfaction. Mr. Tilden bowed, and then sat down between Mayor Cooper and Abram S. Hewitt. There was a moment’s calm and then the immense audience once more arose and cheered again and again. When quiet had been restored, John McKeon stepped to the front of the stage and said :

“Fellow Democrats, the duty has been assigned to me as Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements to nominate a presiding officer of this meeting, and I nominate as Chairman of this meeting the legally elected President of the United States.” Amid the wildest enthusiasm that completely drowned his voice, Mr. McKeon pointed to Mr. Tilden and added : “I need not mention the name of Samuel J. Tilden. It was some minutes before the stormy welcome that*greeted Mr. Tilden subsided sufficiently to permit his vojee to be heard. At length, however, quiet was restored and the immense audience listened with breathless interest. Mr. Tilden said:

“My Fellow-citizens—' thank you for your very cordial greeting. I have come down this evening from my country home to join with you in expressing and declaring the purpose of the Democracy of the city of New York to sustain the nomination of Hancock and English. I came under a stipulation of your Committee that in the present hoarse condition of my voice I should not be expected to make a speech to this vast audience. I shall, therefore, but briefly touch two topics. The welfare of the people demands a change in the administration of the Federal Government. Reform is necessary to remove the abuses which 4

have grown up during twenty years of continuous power, prolific of false prin- ! ciples and bad practices. The Repub- I lican party, stifling its conscience, has made itself responible for the intrusion under color of law’ into the Chief Magistracy of our Republic of a man who was not elected. It has set a precedent which, unless disowned and condemned bv the people, wi’l destroy our proud system of elective self-government and substitute the rule of a hierarchy of office-holders holding over against the will of the people. A complete overthrow of the Republican party in the election of 1880 would be a retributive [ judgment. It would prevent a repeti- I tion of the crime of 1876 against the ‘ sovereignty of the people. Fellow-citi-: zens. I congratulate you on your course, on vour case, on your candidates, and on the favorable prospects under which the canvass has been commenced for their election.' Mr. Tilden’s speech was greeted with great applause in its delivery, and at its close there was a long-continued roar of applause. Just as he ceased the throng on the left of the stage parted, and Samuel J. Randall. Speaker of the | House of Representatives, made his I appearance. Somebody in the house I recognized him and started the cry | “Randall, Randall. " The vast audience took it up. and in a moment the Speaker's name was on every tongue. Mr. Randall walked direct to the Chairman's seat and stopping in front of Mr. Tilden and extended his hand. ’ Mr. Tilden arose, and, taking the prof sered hand, shook it warmly, The audience rose in their seats and for fully two minutes the Academy rang with cheers. Then a man in the gallery cried, “Three cheers for President Tilden !’ and shouted “Hurrah !’’ The audience took up the cry, and cheer upon cheer was given with a will. Women waved ; their handkerchiefs, grayheaded men s waved their hats, and excited men in | the gallery took their coats from their | backs and swung them in the air. Order was, after some difficulty, restored, and then Colonel Fellows read the resolutions. Mr. Randall then delivered the chief speech of the evening. He was greet- ; ed, too, with the wildest applause. General Ewing was then introduced. He referred first of all to the great Electoral fraud of 1876. Indeed, that fraud was the key-note to the entire speech-making of the evening. Ewing spoke of Democratic economy and of the necessity of a change in the Administration. The other speakers were Randolph Tucker. Senator Jones, of Florida, and Jonas, of Louisiana. There were meetings in Irving and Nilsson halls, and three open-air stands. It was an enthusiastic demonstration from fijst to last, and it gave the Democrats great j encouragement. Garfield On Hancock. [The Hour.] Perhaps the last person in the world who would be likely to come forward as a eulogist of General Hancock is the Republican Presidential candidate, let in an article in the North American Review for March-April. 1878, General Hancock is spoken of in the highest terms, and reference is made to “his long service on the staff before tile war, bis honorable and distinguished service as a corps commander during the war.” And this article is signed "James A Garfield."
