The latter, on the part of those present, then delivered the following congratulatory address: Gotebxor.

We are proud of our noble State of. our glorious record upon every , battle field from Pea Ridge to Petersburg, from Atlanta to SpotUylvania; we are proud of our statesmen, . of White . and Wright, Colfax and Lane and tonight we bail with pride as a noble patriot, wise statesman, and soldier's friend, our Senator.

To the kind friends who have tendered to me the honor of this serenade I return ray thanks thanks for the compliment and their presence here to night but I canot receive it all to myself; I must insist that it is chiefly on behair of the State we love so Nearly. For Indiana we claim no sovereignty Her people are but part and parcel of one indivisible nation; but we do claim that they have done their duty under trying circumstances, and that she is a noble and patriotic State, and we - love ; her not with a seltish love aside from - that of the nation, but as the.

They made a fatal one when they embarked in the rebellion which cost them nearly a half million of lives and made their country desolate." It w: s undt rtakf si in the interest of slavery, and it ended by destroying slavery, and it elevated the slav into political aud ciil equality with bis master. They made another mistake, at the end of the war. when thev demanded im mediate re turn to the enjoyment of civil and po i litical power, juat as if nothing had hap .; pened. That was a mistake, not only j against common justice, but against com- . mon sense, ... ..,:, '. And they, made another mistake in i supposing they could persecute Union ! men into exile and even unto death with i impunity, and without being over-j taken, - by the vengeance of this peo- j pie. They made a continuous mistake : in accepting the pernicious counsels oft the peace men of the North. The peopie of Alexandria made a foolish mistake last Tuesda3-, when they defied the law of Congress and the national author- : ity by refusing the colored man the right to vote ; and the Southern people will make a fearful mistake if they shall refuse to accept the terms and conditions provided by that bill. ' - ' They may be delayed in reconstruc : tion. The good hour 'may be put off, but it will not be indefinitely postponed ! I have faith in the destiny ot the nation I believe that all will yet be well ; that the bleeding wouuds of our country will yet be staunched ; that in the course of a few years the reconstruction of society upon a new basis founded on 'the equal , rights of all will be firmly established; tbat emigration' from the' North and . from Europe, carrying with it capital, industry, and skill, and the great panacea, time, will yet restore a peaceful and fra ternal condition of things between the North and the : South, and throughout the wbole of this vast country. , I cannot forbear referring to the , last time I stood upon this verandah and spoke to the people. It was . two j-ears , ago on a pleasant afternoon in the middle : o f March, 1865. President Lincoln was standing by my side Maay of you will i perhaps remember the occasion.

his great spirit is now hovering over the j tice. anI truth by which he was animated throughout his life. Once more I thank you for the kind ness and compliment of this serenade. Tne speaker retired amid loud cheers. intermingled with cries of Colfax, Col fax! from many in the crowd. Speaker Colfax was then introduced, and spoke substantially as follows : a Fellow-citizxks amd Friends : I came this evening npon the promise being made that I should not be requested to speak, but only to listen. But promises in Washington are apt to be broken, and T must confess that when called by yon I could scarcely deny your' request. I come, with my colleague, to bear tribute to the merits of that gentleman,; who, after serving in the gubernatorial chair, has been called to a seat in the ' Senate, which I know he will fill with credit. I cannot but contrast his answer when the States were called upon for troops with taricsoleut messages of the Governors of, ..Missouri and Kentucky. ' Conspicuous among the Governors to whom the "nation Owes a debt of gratitude is the Governor of Indiana. When applied to ; for. troops he used his utmost endeavors to comply with the call; and when the braye men who entered the field were known to haver been engaged in bloody strife, he 'was ever active in forwarding supplies for the wounded rand suffering. If any man. has earned the title of the soldier's friend, it is the man whom you have heard tornight.

The Tressurershlp. Will you grant raetbe spce If sf of the Union electors wh boll, sw I trist they all do, that moral obligation Is ful
ly as binding as a leru owl, if W not ""A WJ" nsskalionsiaexstion LaV'r-'. jLMX.-itf --. confirm theiWce or Utfrff which our par e; to relation V -ta Office of Treasurer at the last nomihatmg elec tion? We then nominated a man for tbat offi "a unkaowa to JumeltLox va us, disquaiinea for that iKsition. He has since been qualified, and now. be cause he has submitted his claims to the chances of another election, what rea son can we give for refusing to ratify any previous choice? I do not hold, nor can any one else, that Major Sim has one shadow of a le gal claim to that position, but if we arc gnided as we should be by the higher sud nobler principles of a moral obligation, can we plead a technical disability which has now been removed as a release of us from our part of the contract? To illustrate: If one itdividual should execute a note in favor of another, and through inadrertance omit the signature. there could be no legal claim; tot the amount of such note, but in what fight .would the. community regard that person who should refuse to pay the amount upon such a plea? 4 ' , fill ad , Major Sim', intentionally or knowingly deceived those by whom be was nominated upon pledges which bar since been broken, we, would undoubtedly be free to reverse the former choice, but nothing of this kind has occurred. . All of the competitors for the posi- . tlon, so far as are known, are' eminently qualified and worthy, but this ia a question which now we have ao fight to consider, but simply whether we shall honorably maintain on our part the bargain good or bad as the case may be which we have made.-"" -'-J'' v. ."-' .
