I'ut lbs Airlon. Speech of Csqulro Lee. Oak Fokkit, May 'JO, JSCS. We had ou last Saturday night, at our School Iloqre.'a grrat (?) speech from I'cquiro Lee, of Ihe last edition of lio Democracy, lie consumed a considerable time in personal rcmatks on self; dcclslmed a little on (ho "freedom of speech and of tho press,'' and then took up iho ' Freedman's Ilureau. I gathered from hi t j o ch that Ibo ol jret of said llurcuu was to educate (he poor, luty, degraded niygirs. Ho said liiut "tho llurcuu provided a school f.jr them ten nvnA a ytr; that our children only had a school from two months to six month In ihn )tar; that wq had to wcik burd to educate our own children, and then had to pay tux to educate the lazy, tiiflirg niggers. Now,',' said ho, "how tlo ) uil likethm?" IIocoq veyrd tbe idea thut Iho Dunau . wu n grand cducttti'tnal system, oigauuod and t'juij ped to tdticato the millions if niois in (hü Sguth, at lie cxjintc of tho Uovernmcnt. Ho did not lell u (hut the religious dcuominatioii v.eru doin a much (r more than tho ll.utau for the education of the colored race, Dor did he tell u that after all that wu done, in every qunrler, there was not one iu ten of tl o colored children thut could get to go to school at all. lie did not tell us that thu Democratic chivalry of tin South wero engaged in turning tho school. houses, hrmking up tho sehools, and mobbing and killing th solf-sucriiking tcuchiia vho taught tho colored childten. He struck it high rrto vnhrmJ im frnyi seemed willing thut ull might vote or hol I tGiyo but the niggero; said that (od had treated them infciior to tho rtvt of mnukind: secmc 1 fearful that Iho Republicans would do for the tu whnt (!od tiad failed to do, namely, tnika them hi equal. All the argument that ho adduced wliy Southern colored peoplu should not vote ami hold till to is about thi: They have a black skiu, a flat noso, - llti k" lips, and a long heel; therefore tbey ought not to vote or hold ofiice. -.' While he wa spcuking, a young man came in and took down the dig. Ho claims the flag as bis own personal property. Aa Boon as ho took down tho fl ig and rolled it up, he nt d jwo and li toned quietly to tho rest of the speech. Since the speech, I heard W. C. Jones, n Democrat, say that ho wu a witness to Iho fact that tho flag did belongto the )oung mitn. lie docs not livo in thi nctghbii hood. The Republican hero b;d no hand in taking Uown the flag. They knew nothing about it until he wu taxing it down. When the Ü ig wa taken ilown, Mr. Lee tpoko for a while on tbe flag of our country; exhoited the people to vo:o for tho Democrat, fo that tho ilig may wave once more over : ' " 'lbs la nil i f tb t'r an J tb byiue of Die Irnvc." Derhsps ho iorgot to tell us thut it noia U'acr in hiumh uvtr laiitl utut nut, lie failed lo tell us liiut (he llist titiiu our good old flag evtr Ira hd in the du?t, Wa by hi timtlirrn Veuwemtir tritium, Nor did he tell us that under Republican rulo the fl.ig of our country wva . curried triumpbutitly over leu States of iho RcU!

the Convention, delivered the following addrcjs: ADEflfcsj Of Ot. fcAWLtr. Centimen: The National Union Republican party assembled in National Convention on tho 20th of thi month, appointed tis, the officers of the Convention, to wait upon yon. In obedience to its instruction we give you a copy of the record of ita proceeding. You will pereeive that it wa governed by the most patriotic motives. Harmonious, enthusiastic and determined, we mean, in yonr own word, 4,to save in peace what we won in war." We mean to make it a solemn, practical reality in the United States, (bat all men are created equal, en dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable lights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We intend that there shall never be cause or opportunity for a civil war in thi nation, origiuated either by those who would enslave their fellow men, or those who must fight to regain their freedom. We bs lieva there can bo no permanent peaco save in justice and equal rights, tbe equality of all men before the law. We hope to see our Government reaching to the remotest corner and to the humblest person, seeming to him, by impartial and irrealstiblo power, hi personal safety, the right to ibo avail of bi labor, and the right and the opportunity for physical, mental and moral advancement. The best guarantee for the continuanco of such a Government is to itive to all clas-ca impartially a shore in ita management. We hear much of foTgivencs aud fraternity. Wo do most earnestly dosiro speedy return of the policy and . measures of peaceful time. Nono long more for a fully restored Union than those who sustained their Government during the late dreadful war, but the dead men havo left a trust in our hands. We long for peaco and p;ood will, but we have no liienda who oppress their fellow-men. Wo do not idly and hopelessly ask for iudemnity for tho pat. We do ask for security for tl e future. You will see that the Convention believes that inieprity, simplicity and economy in governmental affair aro tho duties of good citizen and honorable men. It makea (he stillt fulfillment of national obligations a point of honor, never to be waived, While (ho civilized world recognizes a full and final payment us the only payment, the Union Republican party will never consent to tender any other, The equal rights of adopted citizen are clearly asserted, and all peojdo who love our Government are hospitably invited lo come and enjoy its benefit and contribute to it strength. Tho Convention spoke in nothing moro warmly than in predicting a hearty welcomo lo all those who, lately iu arms ugnlnst the United States, are now frankly and honestly oo operating in restoiing peare and establishing a truly firo Government, During the )at three eara cnuntle indication of ihe peorle's ehoico for the next President have been converging upon yourself. Having mudo It statement of principles und purposes, the Convention deliberately and formally, Slate by Stale, Teiritoiy by Territory, recoidcd (he will of it constituents, and unanimously nominated you for President of (he United States, following the work by tumultuous and long uontiuued mani testations of joy, pride and confidence. W kuow you will be faithful lo the Con. stitutiou and the laws, and to tbe sympathies and principle (hut jou arc called to represent. We know that you will not seek to enforce upon ihe uttwiliinj repreaentativea of the people anv polier of jour own devising, for you have said that "Tho will of tho peoplo is tho law of the land." Tie record of ibis war, aud of a .Mas jw w your subsequent nueltty, alt jrJ the evidence that the alion can safely and wisely place you iu the chair of Washington and Lincoln. In behalf of the Conven tion, we tender you its nomination for President, and solicit it acceptanco. We can give you no higher proof of our gratitude (or your past or our confidence in your future.

Mr. J'rtnident, and Uenthmcn of the Rational L'nivn (nvrntion: I will endeavor, in a very short timo, to write you, accepting the trust you have conferred upon me. ApplauKC. Kxprcssing my gratitudo for the couGdenco you havo placed in me, I will now say but little orally, and that is to thank you for the unanimity with which you have selected me as a candidate for tbe Presidential office. I can say, in addition, that I looked on during the proceeding at Chicago, with a gaeat deal of interest, and aro gratified with the harmony and the unity which seemed to have governed the deliberations of the Convention. If chosen to fill the high ofiice for which you havo selected me, I will give to its duties the same energy, tho same spirit and the same will that I have given to the performance of all tho duties which have devolved on mo heretofore. Whether I shall be ablo to perform these duties to your entire satisfaction, lime will determine. You have truly said in the course of yonr address that I shall have no policy of my own to interpose against the will of tbe people. As the General concluded his speech, there was long continued applause. ADDRESS TO SPEAKER COLFAX. General Hawley then addressed Speaker Colfax, saying: "Vou have heard our declaration of principles at Chicago, and therefore I need not repeat them. You are aware that numerous candidate for tho Yico Presidency were presented. They wero all loved and respected, and your so lection was brought about by tho good will and friendship entertained for your-s-If. You aro known to the American people by fourteen years cf publio service. We know you came from the people, and without false pretense, you are faithful to principle. Tho Convention tenders you the nomination for Yica Piecidcnt, aud a-ks your acceptance. Apiluu-e. . RETLY OF SPEAKER COLFAX. To this Mr. Coifax replied: Mr. l'miilent JIauhy and Gentlemen: History ha already proclaimed that' ihe victories of the party vou represent during the recent war always give increased hope aud confidence to the nation, while it reverses and defeat ever increased the na lional peril. ' Itia no light tiibuto, therefore, to the millions of Republican in the forty-two State and Torritric represented in the Chicago Convention,' that our organization has been so inseparably interwoven with the best interests of the republic, that the triumph and reverses of

The trentlemen Present cenersllv ad. vanced and shook Gen. Graut and Speaker Colfax by ihe hand, and congratulated them on the choice of the Convention.

GRANT AND COLFAX. What is Said of the Nominations. Indiana. REPUBLICAN. fiomths Tsrrs Ilautt SirM. Had tho Republicans of Indiana been invited. to name Ihe ticket which would command their most united and earnest support in the Presidential campaign, they would have responded, with entire unanimity, "give us Grant and Collax." Had they been asked: hat possible combination will unite every clement of the Union party in your Stato, what two name will call out tho lust vote, will weld the party into such strength oi cohesion that no differences of opinion cn minor matter can prod u co a ahade of dissension? they would have replied, ' Grant and Colfax.'' It any doubt ha heretofore existed as to tho electoral vote of Indiana iu the coming campaign, that '. doubt has been removed by the nomination of Giant and Colfax, provided only that the Republican party shall go into and mow on through the canvasa with auvlhini; liko (he xul and persistency whiuh havo (haiucurised i contest iu the memorable campaign of tho past. Fruittttie IntlUnapolU Journal, For Yico President the Convention nominated Schuyler Colfax. Thia nomi nation is one thai will meet a hearty re sponse throughout (he Union, and will bo j hailed With peculiar sullslueiloo by the lie publicans of Indiana, ll i the first time iu the history of the Republiu thut a citizen of thia Slate hu hern nominated by cither of thu greut pit tic for the office of V i t President. Tbe seleeiiou of Mr. Collux ia, therefore, gruiilj ing to the State prido of tho people of Indiana, and will inspire tho Republicans of the State with a determination to stcme a popular indorsement at the poll of iho action of the Convention at Chicago. They would have given u hearty suppoit to either of the woilhy and ditin;uihed men who weio his competitor lot this honor, but for tlieir own fellow citizen Ihey will labor wuh a zeal equal to that whicii they mauilested for the noble and unselfish Llneolu, From lbs Nsw AlUoy L'uicimsicUI. The careful adtieienee to tho old custom of nominating u President from the North and a Yico President from ihe South, or vice versa, sat an Omission of sectional ism loo evident to be denied. Tho Union will Pot full lo pieces, now cemented by tbe blood of jjiousund of her sou of all sections, if both of l.er highest ofucera should ho chosen from thosuuie btate. The best man hcieuf.er will not be excluded from either section iu consequence of bia kccidcntiul mi Je nco. The nomination of Grunt and Colfax ia a step in the path of progrcsa, and gives happy omen of the day when the faintest trace of sectionalism will be swept away, and the candidate of parties, like puttie themselw. will bo tried by the people ou their own merit. DEMOCRATIC From th Indianapolis Beoiluet. The Convention will make no impression upon the country. It was composed of an inferior body ot men. It leading spirit were renegade from the Democratic party, who can not command publio confidence or respect. There was uo heartiness manifested in its action, but on the other hand, a feeling of distrust in regard to the propriety of what was being ciouo. The real sentiment and wishes ot the Convention were suppressed. 'Ibe majority yielded to expediency, to policy, for success, and to perpetuate purty rule. The action of the Convention assures the defeat of radicalism, if the Democracy are guarded by wisdom and eugacity. Illinois. Rtl'lliLICAN. From tbs Chicago Ilopuklloao. Since the day of Washington no man, unless it was the caso with Gen. Jacksou the second time ho wss nominated, has ever received the unanimous vote of any National Convention upon the first ballot, until to day. The vote of the people will bo as emphatic a the vote of the Convention was unuiiimous. It would bo a work of aupeierogation to urge reasons why Gen. Grant should bo elected why the action of tbe Convention was a wise one. The people rule. And there are no two opinions among tho loyal men of the country an to the wisdom of thi choice. Schuyler Colfax, of Juoiana, is placed second on the ticket. From a poor printer struggling upward always, pure a a man, uuimpeuchuble as a patriot, wiso aud discreet a a statesman, lacking in no quality demanded of a man chosen to fill the place in the publio service to which he bus been succes.iively elected, it will be found that he will .meet the expectations of the people who will elect him Yice President of these Uuitcd States. From tit Chicago Tribun. Grant and Colfax is a ticket that will swe'-p the couutry with the power and earuc.itiiC-s that swelled the majority lor Liucolu and llumlin, when their names went forth from the Chicago Wigwam eight years ago. The. platform adopted by the Convention will meet the approbation of every (rue patriot and honest man in the Uuitcd State.. The reconstruction policy of Cougress is not only indorsed, but the country is congratulated ou it success as demonstrated by the restoration of a majority of tho secediug States tj tho Uuion uudcr constitutions and laws securing equal rights to all citixenu.

The Republican party has commenced moving ou the enemy'a works under th most favorable auspices. Tbe greatest captain and statesman of the ge con-' stitute our ticket. General Grant and Schoyler Colfax ate the two men whom, above all others iu thia broad laod, th people love and trot. The nation ia now returning to tbe good old times when the Vice President wae tbe second choirs of (he people fr the President. Goorge Washington and John Adams were the first President and Vice P resident of the United State. One had led our armies all through (he war to victory, gloriou and complete; the other had been a Congressional leader during and throughout the war. Our Revolutionary fathers wished to honor, first the soldier and second the statesman.' We, their eons, emulate their example, not sv mere imitatora, nor by accident, but because it ia most fit that the civilian who was most prominently mentioned for the' Presidency should bo Vice President. From tb Cblsago Pot. ( The ticket thus rounded out and completed, is perhaps aa strong au ooe mi could have been made. The country loves and honor General Grant a the first soldier of the age, and it believes that his high endowments, so useful iu war, will be' found safe and sufficient in peace. The Platlorm of Prinelpl es prcsentcdT to the Convention and unanimously ajop. ted ia all that any fiiend ot General Grant and the Republican cau'o could have desired. Short, plain, unmistakable and emphatic, it deala with the great fact of th situation in a way (hat will commend itself, to ihe hearts aud consoiences of the people, not less from lis noble and patriotic avowals than from its lack of concealments. DEMOCRATIC. From tb Cblosgo flinei. ' he Jacobin Convention has labored and brou ht forth. Ita trivsil wa painful at first; but, failing to elicit the publio sympathy for it distress that the doctor anticipated, puioute ouiburais assumed ft rapid dimin'tendo movement, and were to-t in a suppressed moan, mesuinklcsa aud spiritless.
