The Attempt on the Life of the King . and Queen of Spain. A most cowardly attack was mam{e .on the evening of the 21st inst. upon the King and Queen of Spain. It appears ‘that the royals were, returning fros> the Palace GardenP"about midnight, when the ‘would-be assassins fired upon Lvlem, but fortunatelyﬁeither of them were in: jured. The assailants numbered five, one of whom was killed by an attendant of the royal party. The greatest ind}lgnation was everywhere expressed af the cowardly deed. Their Majesties rel*mained self-possed during the exciting moment, and when quiet was restored ‘they proceeded to their palace, and ifLer a 8 short rest the King, unattended, walked through tho streets, and was received‘ with immense enthusigsm by the people. The four would-be assassins who escaped during the excitement, were eventually arrested, and it'required a large escort of policemen to protect them from tbfa in. furiated populace. . o

Hon. laNATIUS DONNELLY has forinally declined the radical nomination for|/Congress'in the Ist Minnesota Districti and given hisadherenceto Greeley and Brown.

There seems to be agreat many blackgunrqs just now joining the liberal movement, and it seems-a wonder that the radical Ipar_ty lived so long with so many worthlq‘ss fellows in it. Come along, gentlemen, :

THERE is one redeeming feature‘about the Durgin trial—the constancy :m‘:d affection with which the gife clings to her husband during his (ﬂ;grace. A{ll the people of Fort Wayne may not be aware that this lady has been in daily attendance at the jail duripg her husbandls confinement there, ‘taking her basket with her in the morning and remaining thro’out the entire day. So during th}: ‘trial -she has lent the prisoner- a sympathy which he does not deserve by shaﬁng his misfortune. So far as the trial gofs, this circumstance shiould ‘not, and of |course will not, have any influence upon its merits as they appear from the evidence in the case. If Durgin be guilty at all, he is guilty in such a way and to suclL a degree. as to deprive him of every consideration of sentimental mercy. BExt the circumstance of his wife's self-sacrificing and trying devotion is mentioned as one that will go far toward" redeeming womanhood from the disgrace that fashion. able follies and social vagaries frequently cast upon it now-a days.—Fort | Wayne Sentinel. ; fi e

- Meeting at Mishawaka. Last Saturday evening the Democrats and Liberals held a meeting in Mishawaka, which was well attended. |lt was oue of the most interesting political meetings held this campaign in this-part of the country. v ‘r J. B. Btoll, democratic candiéate.for State Auditor, and Dr, Henricks,j liberal candidate for Congress for the 9th district addressed the audience, and all passed off pleasantly and enthusiastically. The large Gernian vote of Mishawaka,- which has always been nearly equally divided, is now almost - unanimously for Gree&y *and Brown. - : : : .

Tag reports from North Carolina are various and conflicting. Both | parties claim the State by large majoritljes, and on both sides the efforts are strong. -We caution the opponents of Grant| not to calculate upon anything encouragiing from the August election in that State, With the immense sums of money at command, and the large fields from whigh to import negro votes, we think the chancesare that the State may be carried by the enemy. ‘We shall attach no significance ko such result, however, for in November the ne. groes imported for present use there will be needed at home, and the result may be altogether different.— Louisville Ledger.

Ninth Congressional Distriet. The anti-Packard Republicans of the Ninth District met in convention at Laporte, on the 17th inst., and nominated Dr. J. A. Henricks for Congress.| He will be supported by the Democrats, and will in all probability be elected. The Porter | ‘county Videtfe, & Grant paper, supports Mr, Henricks in preference to Packard. el B———— ONE of the miserable Lowry *ang, of Robeson county, North Carolina, got his dues the other day, and the “devil got his own,” by a brother of one of the| victims of this hellish gang killing him.

SPEECH OF COL. WM. C. WILLIAMS, Delivered at the Greeley and Brown Ratification Meeting, held at Ligonier, Saturday Evening, July 20, 1872, o MR. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW- CITIZENS :—lt may appear strange to many of my friends of the republican party that I should appear before you to-night to 4ssist in ratifying the nomination ot Greeley and Brown. I stand here an advocate ot the Cincinnati nominees. In taking this course I do not consider that I have l_ibandoued my republican principles, nor do I call myself anything other than a Republican, T shall not vote for President Grant, and, strange as it may sound to some of my republican. friends, I.yet think a Republican may do so and not be either a traitor to his party or a seces—sionist. This conclusion I bad reached months before the Cincinnati convention assembled; and the conviction that a new candidate’ should be put in the field by the republican partlywas so generally ex: pressed among the thinking portion of the party, and particularly was it so in this county, that I had strong hopes that a new man would be nominated at Philadelphia, until the machinery,usual on such occasions was put in active working order, and the fiat went forth that Grant must be nominated, and that all who opposed it were to be regarded as traitorsand reb-

els. When a party refuses to let its adherents think ; when it demands the sarrender of independence and manhood ; when a few self-appointed leaders seek to impose their selfish and ignoble aims on the party and command all to receive them as the principles and policy of the party ; when these things are done the party is -only a vast gpem ‘subserving personal ends, and the*nan who submits to it does so at the expense of manhood and independence. It is the fashion to call all, who will not submit to be thus gagged and silenced, renegades and traitors. Such is the order, not of Grant, but of Conkling, Chandler, Morton, and the other keepers of the conscience of the party. For one, I have rebelled, and I glory in it. T have done 80 as a Republican, and had the independent portion of the party rebelled one year ago, instead of waiting for the Cincinnati moyement, the party would not have hopelessly gone on the rocks. 'A party that thus acts is a tyranny. To longer obey its commands would make me a slave. Thus in all ages of the world have republics been overthrown. To change this condition of affairs, the Cincinnati platform and nominees are pledged. The word has gone forth: “Party tyranny has ceased to reign.” Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown are Republicans. The Cincinnati platform is patriotic and eminently republican. It is not at all embarrassing to me to support them,:and from the manner in which the Democracy all over the land support them, it don’t appear either hard ~work or embarrassing work to support them. T hold it to be every man's duty to act from principle—to speak for the right always, and fear no man’s frown, or the crack of the party whip in the discharge of duty. lam not a slave to party, Party is well enough and necessary when controlled and animated by a wise policy, in the interest of the many and not the few. Men are nothing—measures everything. And there is something in being: independent enough to reject the- doings ot party when one is convinced they are wrong. I think the renomination of President Grant a wrong thing ; but his friends thought it of more importance to give him u renomination than to heal up the deplorable split in the party. Thus it was determined that Grant should Le again before the people, and all the host of Republicans should vote for him under. penalty. : -

- Fellow-citizens, I am not here to-night to abuse President Grant. Nor am 1 here to denounce that wing of the party that supports him ; I intend only to discuss for a short time the policy which it is claimed will give peace and quietude to the whole country, and promote the prosperity-of the country. : The student of our political history need not be told that the republican party came into existence on the repeal of the Missouri compromise, which was brought about for the express purpose of extending slavery into the territory west of Missouri. There was a definite object in view in the very organization of the party. Its object—its policy—was to prevent the growth, or spread rather, of slavery; it did not contemplate its abelition ; it did not\propose to meddle with the institution in the States where it already existed, but simply to prevent its spread into new Territories an®?States. It was no. part of their programme, at that time, to blot out the institution. There was, 1n short, but one issue—a great, vital issue—one that our wisest minds feared would pour down, in the not far future, on our land a sickening rain of blood. . You remember that the great democcratic party split at the Charleston convention_in 1860, and it was purposely done to insure the election of the repullican candidate for the Presidency, and that was tc? be the pretext for war. Abraham Lincqtn was elected, and the issue was peace lor war, government or no goyernment, Union or no Union. The war came. And you remembeér how the news of the bombardment of Fort Sumpter smote on your ears like a blast of Gabriel's trumpet, how your heartsleaped to your throats, as you read the terrible words. - Party/ spirit melted away like | the summer mist defore the morning sun. All were patriots who were for protecting the dear old flag. Democrats and Re publicans, but a few short months before political enemigs, vied with cach.other in their zeal for the Union. Ah! that Northern uprising was the sablimest spectacle ever witnessed in our country, when the distant guns of Sumpter smote on ihe ear and called the nation to arms, You were not questioned asto which party you belonged ; the only one thing needed was : are.you willing to help save the country? And shoulder to shoulder, Republicans and Demoeraty, no longer | enemies, but brothers and patriots, they marched on every road leading South to strike for an imperiled country. The war progressed. The struggle was bitter and bloody. Many were ready to dispair, but the end came at last. The rebellion was crushed, and the South, torn, at the victorious feet of N zm bern valor e “‘mﬁf”ﬂ e, AT

.pmgﬂfas. slavery was, by.. virtue of that great unfathomable ‘réservoir of safety, the war power of the government, completely destroyed. ' : Tl . Thus it was that a new and absorbing set of issues were suddenly forced on the republican farty.‘; It was no longer to let slavery alone. The country was to be ‘rescued. Slavery was to die. The coun: try wi'?s rescued and slavery blotted out, and forever. The issues were now accomplished facts, and questions growing out of the war were soon crystalized in the 18th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. We told the rebellious .States that they should not return to the U m:§ unless they accepted these amendments ; they accepted them all, and were ready to yield any obedience that we mighi_,demand of them. - The rebel States are al[ in the Union, and have been for several years, and one constitution, one flag, and one system of laws governs the whele. Aond I tell you to-night that the great|issues which called the republican party, into existence sixteen years ago, and v‘vhich kept it a unit all these years,. bave | all been settled. The question, therefore, suggests. itself if there is any further use for the party ? Many Republicans regard the grand old party as having filled the measure of its glory, and that it must now go to keep company in the happy hunting grounds with the old ;{Lhig party. The issues which have divided the democratic and republican | parties are forever settled. There are vital questions of policy that-must com: ‘ mani the thoughtful attention of parties. But glavery and rebellion, negro suffrage and fthe constitutional amendments are placed beyond the reach of parties. Some of my republican friends may think it a terri'?le thing to consider whether the days of the party are not numbered. I am aWware that many of them still think we gre fighting the rebellion; that the Sou% is yet in hostile array against the government. This annual fighting over the war with the rebels has been made to do good service at the North, when party managers found the zeal of the followers growing lukewarm. And I see that it is occupying a very prominent part in the present campaign. Fellowcitizens, the time has come when a new order of things must dawn on the Seuth. The reign of the carpet-bagger . must ccase. We in Indiana would not | for one hour tolerate the adventurers, who| followed our armies through the South, in the high places of our State government. There is no cure for the mischief until we do to others as we woucid be done by. . Yet you meet intelligent men every day, who cannot for the life of them see any sense in a. party in power doing right. The Southern States having been declared fully reconstructed; having aceepted all the amendments de—manded by the people, and having given all: the guarantees that can*possibly be exadted of them, they are entitled by everlp principle of justice, of honor, of patriotism, to place them on an equality with the other States. But you will hear the new-fledged young defenders of Grant gay, O, that will never do!” “Universal mnmsty will let the rebels into power and| Jeff Davis will become President, slavery will be restored and the fruits of the war forever lost,” and so on. f‘fNow, I don’t suppose there is a sensible man at the North to-day, who believes that the negroes at the South are in any more danger of being re enslaved than that the -whites at the North will be enslaved. Butr this, too, must be made to do duty for |this campaign, and you will often hear it. I frequently hear it on store boxes and street corners. No- State or States propose to disturb the dead issues growing vut of the war and which have been finally fixed by constitutional amendments. These questions of the past are put at rest, and no one, no where and no time, has any desire to revive them.

In conversation with ~a republican frie#xd, since coming to your town, he ex.” pressed surprise that I had, to use his won?(bis, “turned my back on the party;” he could not see, or at least pretended that he could not see, how it could be otherwise, when I endorsed Greeley. Ah'! I know a good many ‘Republicans in this county who would give a good deal if honest old Horace Greeley. had also been nominated at Pliiladelphia, instead of the man who has succeeded so well in splitting the party“that elevated him to the Presidency. Republicans wholly composed the Cincinnati convention. - The ieading minds there have been identified with the party for many years. The candidates are the strictest 16f Republicans. Their republicanism, their ability, their ﬁtlﬁass, their honesty—nothing weie questiobed&,_ until the Cincinnati movement thx‘Fa‘tened to overwhelm the Grant wing in | irretreviable ruin. * The Grant men are not laughing now. - The nomination, you know, of Greeley, set all the Grant men laughing. The renomination of Grant set the wisest heads in the land to thinking. And so we have ceased to mind ‘the laugh, and see the anxiety of our Grant friends increasing each day. Now, desirous to have the co-opera-tiqn of all whe oppose the present order of things as inaugurated by Conkling, Morton & Co., we ask not what the party may have been to which the person may hayve belonged ; and so hearty is the support, and so universal, the Democracy all | over the land are giving to Greeley and Brown, that our Grant friends have made it ftheir special business, whenever they can cornzr & Democrat, to express the utmost wonder that any Democrat can go fo(fx2 the man who has abused them so long as| Greeley has. Did it never occur to. these gentlemen who are so much astonished: that Democrats should support Greeley, that it might-possibly be a mat ter of astonishment that they should sup--port a second time the man who hasdone more to divide the republican party than all the Democrats in the country. -

{We have faith in our platform and in our camdidates. We believe they will triumph in November. And because the Democracy have ac:epted our platform and candidates, we are asked toabandon our cause. No, we cannot‘go back. Forward.is the word; and welcome to everyone who will stand with us and work with us. Does anyone doubt that if the Philadelphia convention had tossed Grant oyerboard and endorsed the Cincinnati platform and taken Greeley and Brown, that every Republican in the land would have said the platform is the strongest and best that the party ever had, and that | the candidates were tLe truest exponents | of the principles of the party, and that their ability, integrity, patriotism, and eminent services ggere the best possible: guarantees that ngvernmgnt would be wisely, economically and honestly ad- | ministered? No fourth-rate men would be blundering through the cabinet. But it makes all the diﬂ%rence in the world ghen, instead of being nominated at *hiladelphia, Greeley and Brown were endorsed and nominated at Baltimore. Yet the same platform and eandidates were adopted and nominated at both conventions. We are told that such em. gment statesmen as' Trumbull, Sumnery jchurz, Palmer, and others have left the g;rty ‘and are no longer Republicans. hen did they leave the party? When did they announce that they were no longer Republicans? It is notin the power of a party to make any man a mem ber of its organization. He does that for iimself; when he adopts its principles he is & member of it. When be can no longi}r subseribe to them he is outsidé of it. ut then we are told that these men do not supfoxt'Gmﬁ- -True, but s the support of the individual to be made thetest? Buppose the individual who hap - pens to be the chief for the time being hould trample on the whole organiga. . has done and is doing; should use it as & picc of_ s “machinery for continuing imsel| ga ‘picbald statesmen in powr, are the statesmen of the P‘% b: mit lest their fidelity to the party should

‘be ‘questioned ?* The theory is absurd. llts practice is monstrous. In the very ‘nature of things it makes the fealty due the party centre in the man; and if logic has any force at all it proves what all’ tbinﬁn%men of the party feel only too well. We have a personal government that is in all its essentials the very oppo‘gite of a republican form. Dmit)iﬁy the power of the Conklings, the Camerong, and Mortors of the-party to read out these old battle scarred veterans of the party ? -They stood by the cradle when obloquy, and scorn, and batred jeered st the weak and tottering intant party, They cherished and guided it in its youth when it went forth trembling to battle under the gallant lead ot Fremont; and in its first great triumph under the great and geod Lincoln, these men still stood with it the earnest captains of the victo. rious host, and the wise counsellors in all its thick conmting troubles. These men who can change their species quicker than. they could change their political convietions; who bave fought so many battles for freedom and equality before the law, ‘ these illustrious statesmen are to be read out of the party . Not so. Go where they will, they (not Cameron and Conkling) carry the party with them. They are the republican leaders. Let those who like it applaud this personal allegiance. 1 ‘ will have none of it. Yet it seems to the Grant men to be impossible that any Re-: publican should be opposed to Grant’s re. election on any other ground than that’| his opponents are disappointed office- ' seekers, or are looking to other chances ' for an office. Yet it would doubtless be resented if it were charged on them l that they suspect everyone of selfish mo- | tives in such things because they know of no other motive that can possible actu ate men in politics. ; With the statesmen of the party, then, | are-all my sympathies, and bave been for many months past. And if Democrats can step up to our high plane, and in good faith join in our movement, for one I bid them welcome. Such, then, is my: republicanism, It is the republicanism of Washington who wisely and magnanimously at the close of the war of the revolution, extended a liberal amnesty to all the tories who desired to remain in the country. The hour of triumph with him was the bour of magnanimity. He conquercd their bitterness and hatred by appeals to their manhood and honor, nor did he appeal in vain. ! i Now, fellow citizens, in taking this position I'do not desire to detract one jot from the great services Grant, as the successful soldier, rendered hig country. I participated’ in his first great battle, | and no man need expect that T am here to-night to abuse him. Abuse never won a vote, and [ have known it to lose many. With General Grant we have nothing to do. He has passed into history as much s 0 as the great Napolecon or Wellington. President Grant is quite a different personage. o

It is charged that the President is surrounded and controlled by a ring of corrupt advisors, who flatten his whims and make him presents while'they manipulate the party for personal ends. It were bad enough to make the charges, but it is humiliating if these things are true; and we see that General Logan defends the President’ in these things and quotes scripture to help him out. The republican party was at the zenith of its grandeur and power on the 4th of March, 1869, when President Grant was inaugurated at Washington. - His term of office is scarcely more than half out before this great party, that had .carried Lincoln through the war and gave Grant the chance to win renown, is hopelessly divided. 'ls this wisdom? Is there any sound policy in it? Is it design? Is it all blunder? Every honest Republican cannot but feel sad that it should be so. Truly can Isay that I have had no hand init. But it is so,and I'shall follow my judgment, which ever way it may lead. Fellow citizens, the masses are heartily sick of politics; they find that worth makes the man. | Horace Greeley to day 18 the living embodiment of the advanced ideas of our best ‘social, political, educar tional and democratic institutions. The man whom the South would have hanged without law or trial only a few years ago, is now the hope of the country. The time has come when a wiser, more libier al course is to be pursed. -The people, while they do not forget the past, are not’ revengeful still. They are willing to meet the South and disarm their fears by giving them complete ammuesty. It must come some time, ull parties are agreed to this. I think that time has come.” We read in the good ' book that a'man had two sons; the younger son induced the old man to give him his portion of the estate, and he betook himself to a far country and there wasted his means in riotoas living. A great famine occurred, and our prodigal began to be in want; in his unhappy and hungry condition he hired to a man to feed Logs; and he would bave been glad to have eaten the: husks, but no man gave him to eat. Then it wag that he formed the resolution to start back home, and he started with a penitent's confession ‘on his lips. He reached the vicivity of the home of his childhood when he was espied by his father who joyfully ran to him and, despite his rags and poverty and all his wickedness, the father fell on the neck of the er: ring prodigal, and the.son told his tale’ of distress, and his sorrow for his eévil course, and the kind old man forgave him, and put the robe on him and made a feast for him. But the elder son was displeased. - He was angry and would not go into the feast nor receive his long losu brother, and his excuse for such jealous, gselfish conduct was: “Father you never gave me a fat calf that I might make merry with my friends” But the father could only rejoice at the .thouht that his son that hé had given up for lost bad returned again to gladden his heart once more. Here is an example of amnesty, it strikes me, that would go as far to sustain complete amnesty to the South as General Logan’g.scripture goes to sustain the President’s nepotism. The people at the South rebelled, and withdrew from the Union, but they were completely conquered and compelled to return to their allegiance. Years of suffering and feeding on husks have learned them wholesome lessons. They have asked for that peace which was the watch cry in 1868, But it bas been denied them until the people through the Cincinnati convention thundered on the dull ears of the President that the older brother had whined about long enough, and that complete amnesty must come. With what haste the men who denounce Horace Greeley as a rebel sympathizer, pushed their amnesty bill through Congress! This is the first fruits of the Cincinnati movement. Now one of two things must be done. We must either live in peace and on equal terms with the South, or we must be at enmity and keep up the military rule down there and Kkeep the whole country in an anxiousstate ‘oigm‘ind. T

‘lt was found that there was no law in existence to reach and punish Jefferson Davis and other leaders of the Southern Confederacy. Congreeshad no power un. der the Constitution to frame a law to ‘reach their case. Thus it was that the government found it impossible to bring Davis'to trial, only 8o far as to admit him to bail and let him go without day. Now it ‘was an anxious question to the government, at the time of the capture of this arch traitor, what to do with him; to keep him in prison as a punishment with_ ont due process of law was not only absurd but beneath the dimy of 8 great government. It was there determined toadmit hiim to bail in hope that he would fly the conntr! andnever return, Now it happened that Horape Greeley, Gerritt Smith und other prominent men at the North signed the bail bond of the great criminal and he was turned Joose to go where he pleased, For doing this Gree. -lel i 8 bitterly denounced, but not s word

"ot fault is found with Gerritt Smith. Is it because Smith is earnestly supporting Grant for re-election and Greeley is not? ::t Davis did llll(::d flee the country. When ‘&n% answer to ﬁhnteve%?chapr;?tbe' gmment had ‘prepared against him. | Twice or three times was the case called up, but strange as it then seemed to the people, the attorneys for the government were not ready for trial. It was again continued, and to-day no lawyer at all acquainted with the case,nor any intelligent man in the land is foolish enough to believe the case will ever be called again, Instead of blaming Greeley for assisting to get the government out of its embarrassing difficulty, he rather deserves the thanks of all candid people. But eyen ‘this act of Mr. Greeley must be made to do duty in this campaign by connecting the bailing of the criminal with the crimes of the traitor. No one blames the United States Judge for admitting the prisoner to bail. No one ever accused J u’dpge Under‘wood of sympathy for Davis or his crimes, t No one ever accused William M. Evarts, the Attorney General of the United States ~at that time, of sympathy for treason and. rebellion, when he consented that Davis | should be admitted to bail. Whose fault is it, then, that Jeff. Davis is not to day suffering for his crimes at the hands of the law? Why has not President Grant or: dered his trial to go on? Is it because, having always been a Democrat, he sym--patiises with Jeff. Davis? Why, then, ’ couple sympathy for traitors with Gree“ley’s signing of the bail bond? The whole thing is absard. Far better would it ' have been for the country had Jeff. Davis been killed by the Michigan cavalry as \'tbey pursued him in his hoopskirts thro’ the underbrush in Georgia.. But to-dsy ‘this man who, 8 few years ago, ruled with -almost absolute sway at the South, wanders over those States like an ill.used ;ghost, no one noticing him or doing him honor. -He lives to see the evil work ot his hands in a subjugated people. Neniesis has ever shadowed his footsteps with “her relentless pursuit. The day of his des. ‘tiny is over. He was the leader of barbarism against civilization and freedom. With slavery all such leaders have passed away at the South.. The new era that is dawning on the South will develop new and wiser leaders who will-honor the country. Holding these views, after much -study and reflection, I am convinced that it is our duty now to aid, by wise and liberal legislation; the impoverished States at the South. In all things they have submitted to the policy re%uired of them by the North. All the late amendments “to the Constitution have been readily accepted and ratified by the late rebellious States. The policy which has been so successfully inaugurated in Missouri 1n the complete enfranchisement of all its citizens, is the policy that must at some time become- the- policy at the South. There is as much quietness in Missouti today as there inin Indiana. Such a policy “may overturn the d yminant party in those States, as it hag dowa in Missouri; it may ! defeat the Conklings, the Camerons and Chandlers and the whole brood of carpet!_.bagg'ers at the South; but cuch men must “not stand.in the way of justise and right and reform. Tbe rights which we in Indiana prize so dearly, justly belong to _every citizen at the South. The time has come when the party that opposes these things must go to the wall. “"The welfare of the whole people is far more important than the hatred and selfish schemes of the present leaders ~of the administration wing of the republican party. The South to-day can justly point to the Constitution 'and demand of us every privilege and right which we in Indiana enjoy under-it. Carpet-baggers have everything to gain by kéeping up the present order of thinge. Conkling and Cameron and Morton have ~everything to make 1n their respective States by fighting over the war once nmore. -But the people have willed it otherwise. These men have had their day. They have divided the great party that has honored them 80 long and now they must give place to other men. Prejudice and passion will be played upon as in the past, but the better sense and reason of the ‘people will tri'jldmpb, and the era of universal peace aud equal and exact justice to all will take the place of that policy that has been so long based on the personal aims of eunning and unscrupulous politicians who have managed to get control of the republican party.

‘“‘Let us have peace,”” was the battle cry in the political campaign of 1868. But there is no peace. There cen be no peace until we do as we would have others do to us. The waste places of the South — her burnt towns and cities—her railroads and rivers, her undeveloped mineral resources, and a thousand and one other things ihat go to make up the wealth and prosperity of a people, all' demand the attention and energy of that people, and we must aid them. They are our country’s resources, and we must lend a hand to develop and gather them. When Greeley first urged universal amnesty we allopfosed it; I certainly did oppose it, although I did not question Greeley’s honesty or patriotism. No one questionedthem until he became a candidate for the pregidency. lam speaking now of the republican party. I thought it would do no harm to put the South on trial first, and wait; the quession was how long shall we wait ? Mr. Greeley was first for securing universal suffrage and then let uniwersal amnesty follow. DBut this course was not pursued. Does any one doubt thatif President Grant had asked of Congress, in hisinaugural on the 4th of March, 1869, to pass an universél amnesty bill, the people would not have endorsed it? When Grantsaid * Let us have peace,’* the South hoped much from what they believed would be the policy such words foreshadowed. Whatever may have been Mr. Grant’s meaning when these famous words were uttered, we care not now to inquire. It soon became too evident, however, that those who were shaping his administration were not in favor of amnesty. Itisnow too late to hope for anything from this administration. The country, looking beyond parties and politicians, have called forth the honest old farmer-ghiloso--pher and statesman from the banks of the Hudson to pacify tlte whole .country as tke martyred Lincoln would have done, had he lived to carry out his. enlightened policy, so clearly shadowed forth in his last inaugural; ‘¢ With malice towards none; with charity for all,” exclaimed’the great man, °‘let us bind up the nation’s wonng;, 10 do all which may achieve and cherish a lasting peace among ourselves.”’ Does sny man, who is tamiliar with the views and convictions of Mr. Lincoln, the last few months of his life, doubt in the least what his olicy would have been towards the South ?— g’et, according to the custom now in vogue among- Grant’s followers, Lincoln must have been a traitor, because he always spoke kindly iud !charitably of the great rebel leader, Gen. ee . :

It is fit, therefore, that he whom the South, for more than a generation, have hated with such a ferocity that, could they have laid hands upon him, would have been hanged to the nearest tree, should be of all men lin the land the one to whom they can look with hope, His whole life is the sure guarantee that they will be no longer treated as a conquered people.— We are told that the election of Greeley will remand the blacks to slavery again; tiv:‘at it will be to undo the late amendments to the constitution ; that rebel soldiers will be pensioned on the rolls with Northern soldiers; that there will be war again—in a word, that all that has been accomplished 'in the lastten years will be undone, if Greeley is elected President. Now, it may be that there are white people at the North ignorant enough to believe this, but I cannot think so, I Enow’ the Grant orators at the Sputh, talk such stuff to the poor blacks; but np intelligent man, black or white, believes a word ot it. There cannot be another rebellion. We are now whaf we have never been in the past—one people, ' One constitution, one flag, and one des tiny are ours, and will be forever. Our rivers ang railroads, our internal commerce and mutual wants, tie us together to-day as we were. never united before. We have had in the past great victories on. bloody fields. Let us now reap the fruits of the victories ot peace. 'We are destined to be the mightiest people that ever existed, and woe to the party .that stands ‘across the pathway of our empire; it will pass away 8s ““‘°'vs3’ as the morning dew befpre the ‘rising suu.‘h_ : l;ye itta the s%uthdto '}gnd them now the helping, generous hand.

To the future haw the thoughtful and patriotic look as the hope of the country, ug not the egopln ; ‘and ‘eriﬁiﬁnif among the dead issues of the ask | and the blackened ashes of the rebellion, _Xnd is th}g got an nbtamtd zoﬂh of the work and ambitign of every good cil&m, ¥ Apgdo' yon ask who_ the ixjmn,fa that re&resenlg this work that is to bless and prosper the whole oount\ﬁv-; lanswer, Horace ﬁnojgy., Whlo,, among Re:pulﬁiuu ever questioned hiy consummate sbility ? Who ever questioned his honesty?

Who ever denied his enlightened philanthropy ‘and profound political sagacity? From low birth, with no fortune, he raised himself by his own_ m:g and genius to the very fore‘most Em iq e nation' as s political leader, ‘and the head and front of the greatést news paper on the continent. 'No mau to-day in the nation is so well acquainted with the needsand necessities of the couniry. Who ever questioned these things, until it was found that he was hkely .to spoil the calculations of the friends of President Grant? The republican party woald have followed Lincola in this very work that' we propose to do, if he had lived long enough to g“e put his wise ahd humane licy in operation. It was in his great, kind, Rooving heart to do all these things. There was no malice in the man, And you, my republican friends, would have heartily endorsed his work. I therefore plead for all—North and South, East and West—of my country and my countrymen, , If it is treason to utter such sentiments, I glory in it. This is my republicanism. You can call it what you will, I care not. With my present knowledge of the past, present, and prospective insight into the future, I could. not advocate any other policy. ,With 4hese vast considerations before me, may my tonglne, cleave to_ the roof of my mouth if T: would refuse to plead for my whole country. I hate treason as degply as any man. I Kated the rebellious Soathern man as strongly asany of you before me to-night; but treason and rebellion have done their "work. The terrible years cannot be recalled, nor the honored dead awake to life again. The old flag now waves over all again without one star erased or & single stripe blotied from its ample folds. Apd until the fruits of the war were finally secured beyond reach of the South, I was for withholding aninesty, Bat the results of the war .are as safe as the constitution of .which they form a part, and now I am, for peace, friendship,and good will. I know this isnpt pleading for party, but I feel thatitis pleading for my country, and it ought notto be charged against me that I am not patriotic. : Now, my friends, as I told you-in tha outset, I am hery to assist in ratifying the.Cincinnati platform and its nominees, I havé made some allusions to President Grant, but none of them have been, I hope, disrespectful. I have not said one word about the financial policy of his administration, nor do I intend to do so; this is not the-occasion for me to do so; I am here simply to- give in, publicly, my testimony in: favor of the Cincinnati platform and its eandidates. And Ido not, therefore, desire that, by my silence, it shall be taken to mean that 1 endorse any .part of the policy of the administration. Nor do I, for the same reason, intend to say anything about the foreign policy of the administration. - I have simpfv discussed ‘the question of amnesty as being best adapted to cover the remarks that might be made to-night. It is enough, in general terms, for me to say to-night, that I think Grant ought not to be re elected. On some other occasion I may enter into a discussion of the ‘whole policy of the administration. A

But, say3s some republican friend, “how are you going to work together with- John B, Stoll and the copperheads? You called them very hard names at one time; you are after office now, and yowhave a different tune?”’ 1 have been asked such questions. Well, if the people elect me to office I try to discharge my duties, and that is all they need care about.— 1 am not so enslaved to party that I would go with. it regardless of my convictions. lam no man’s dog, to obey the beck and bidding of any ore. I think for myseifand I shall act for myself. Ofcourse, I expected that my reasons for taking this course would be charged to any and all considerations but the right oneﬁl was’ heartily in the republican party from first overt act ef the rebellion. T follow to-day the best and purest of the old leaders of the party. Here is where our paths diverge, I going to Cincinnati-and the White House with Greeley and Brown ; you to Philapelphia and thence up Salt River. Now, I will not call you traitor and turn-coat because you will not follow after - the old and trusty leaders. Nor should Jyou thus cofidemn me. - You are earnestly at work for Grant, and I here pledge myself to work in my own way for Greeley. : Now, you remember that Senator Morton and Ben. Butler say that the Civil. Service Reform that Grant seercs to be so anxious to bring about, is an unmitigated humbug. = Butler says Grant was and is only prefending to be in earnest about it for appearance sake. Morton says, ‘‘we have the finest Civil Service in the world.”’ I am sure I don’t know whether Butler is right or whether Grant is 1n earnest,- The Philadelphia platform is for civil service reform, yet that is strange, for Morton says we have the best in the world! The leaders of the Grant wing of the party say it is a humbug, yet their platform endorses it! Now, Grant may mean - what he says, but it is not from the men who ridicule and call civil service reform a humbug that the reform will come. That great reform 'will come from the friends of Horace Greeley. I remember speaking to you on this street, after I returned from Libby prison; some of you had expressed fears that the rebellion would in the end succeed, as so little headway had been made towards crushing it out. Ithen made the prediction that the war was nearing its close 'and that the rebellion would be crushed. Some of you thought I was too sanguine and would prove a false prophet. Now lam going to make another prediction on the same street in your town to night. You may think I am sanguine, as you did%efoi'e ; you may think there is no cliance of its being fulfilled. But | time will tell. I predict that Horace Greeley will be the next President of the Wnited States, if he lives to see the day of the presidential election. There sre. many Republicans in the land who cannot yet decide whether to vote for Grant or Greeley. Their judgment says Greeley, party says Grant. They dread lest. they should be called traitors, turn-coats, &c.; party ties are stron%, the party whip cuts to the quick. But for all this, the stampede goes | bravely on. Nowlcanstand hard names, gl‘he whip haswmo terrors for me. I expect to be. abused and slandered, and all that; but I'shall not spend any sleepless nights over it. - You may, my republican friends, continue to fight the rebellion over again. 1 shall not. Ihold no enmity towards any of the rebels. I cherished for years a hatred that was born of insult and . outrage, that was aggravated by all the refinement of deliberate and cruel tyranny. I shall carry to my grave scars that attest bloody service against them, and my health will(never be what it was before I passed through the infernal horrors of Libby. I had much, therefore, to remember and much to forgive. But'l forgive them all. We must be one yeople.— We are Americans all. Those who caunot do this need not; but I should not be abused because I can and witl do it. In war we were . enemies, in peace let us be friends. They ask for peace and want it. All that can be done to atone for their crimes has been done. They cannot restore the dead to-us; they ‘cannot restore the crippléd and diseased heroes to their former sounscoudition. But they can and do help pay their pensions; help pay the great debt; and obey the laws of the land. They shall have my poor assistance to elect men who will place the South in the hands of her own people, and drive the accursed vampires from her bosom to the obscurity from which the wild license of war brought them, ~The demoecratic party has accepted our platform and candidates in good faith We bid them welcome. We feel sure of our triumph. We don’t.ask our democratic allies what theg thought years ago. Many of the southern leading rebels are heartily supporting Grant. They have a right to do so; no one, certaiuly I will' not, quarrels with them about it; but will Morton and Cameron object to it? Certainly not. Will the¥ inquire who they favored for the presidency four years ago? No.: So with us. For this camraign, at least, Democrats and Republicans will work harmoniously for the election of those old veterans of the party— Greelgf and Brown. s e But I must stop. There are others‘here to address you; but beforé I leave yoii, let me say, in conclusion, that this movement is rapidly absorbing the best spirits of the organization that was so powerful and compact in 1868. You may not, my Grant friends, subscribe to my views, but I assure you they are my honest convictions. Look this q:est.iou fairly and fearlessly inthe face, and ask your- | Belt what you should do; and, if you think your country’s welfare of more importance than the continuance of personal greed and selfish men in power, you will vote for Greeley and Brown. Thus, Mr, President and fellow-citi-zens, in my poor way I have this night assisted to ratify the Cincinnati platform and its worthy nominees. c AT L
