Tg. WASHINGTON. D. C.. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1866. THE PRESIDENT’S TOUR. Great Ent asm. SPRINGFIBLD, ILL, Sept. —The commitiee of arrangements, xecompanied by a band of music, together with a large number of citizens, escorted the Presidential party to the cars for St. Louie, distant ninety. four miles. They were cheered on their departure. The State and citizens as a clasg fad nothing to do with the reception of the sident. Stopping a short time at Chatham, and Au- burn, the President was introdaced and ap- plauded, and cheers were given for the thirty. six States. The time did not allow the intro- anction of the other parties. ARRIVAL AT VIRDEN. VIRDEN, Sept. S—9.25 4. m —Tue train stopped here for several minutes. On being introduced to the people three cheers were given each for the President, the Secretaries of State and Navy, General Grant and Admiral Farragut, and for the United States. General Grant was called on for aspeech. He facetious!y said he had a bad cold, and would give them one the next time he came along. GIRARD.—There were similar Proceedings at this place. Cariixvit_e, 11n.—l0 a. w—We have stopped five minutes. The President was intro- duced, and received with three enthusiastic cheers by the large assemblage. Hon. John Hogan. in introducing Secretary Seward, said “This gentieman bas never pulled down the flag of his country. as your Secretary of State did yesterday, because the President wanted to pass under it.” This announcement was applanded. The President made a brief speeeh. He con- Uinued to speak until the cars began to move, when he was greeted with enthusiastic eheers. The President and General Grant and Ad- miral Farragut were introduced at Shipman, Brighton, and Monticello. where the train halted merely for that purpose. AT ALTON. ALTON, ILL, Sept. §.—The party were re- ceived bere by a dense mass of persons, many of them from the surrounding country. and St Lonis and other cities. Salutes were fired, and the greatest possible excitement prevailed. The excursionists were conducted toa stand previously erected, where the President, Gen. Grant, Admiral Farragut, Secretary Seward, aud Secretary Welles were respectively in- troduced. The cheering was wild and the demonstration emphatic. The Mayor of Alton extended a cordial wel- come to the President and the s heroes who accompany him, in a neat speech. saying that, however much the citizens dif- fered, the demonstration was made irrespec- tive of party. The President, in response, returned his thanks, and said that he and Senator Dougias ‘were personal as well as political friends—both engaged in the same canse of guarding the public liberty. The reference made to the Constitution induced him to say that it was ume to consider what the Constitution is: whether it provided for a Government of limited powers, or was made of gum-elastic, to be stretched at will and pleasure. All those who regard the Constitution as the rampart of civil and religiops liberty must learn that there can be no liberty without law, and.in the language of the ancient Greeks, “the love of liberty is the soul of law,” and when we lose it our liberties are at an end. He Might be reproached for his public career, but he stood now where he stood when he first en- tered public jife, where he stood when the rebellion commenced, and where Jackson stood in 1-52. when it was proposed to dissolve the union of the: ‘ates; and there he would stand, notwithstanding the vituperatiens of publicmen and the press. He stood maintain- ing and vindicating the Constitution of the country, and, with the help of the peopte, there he would continue to stand, regardless of taunts and jeers. He exhorted those who heard him to take the Constitution and the flag into their own hands—that flag which had been borne by so many noble and gallant de- fenders triumphant on the land and on the sea. Come forward like men, forgetting par- ties and party associations. We have heard talk about emancipation and Abolition Now. who bad done more than be had done in behalfot that cause? Buthe would teli them that more emancipation was needed. and this would be effected when reason shail bave resumed ber sway. The people should rise above party and rally round the Constitn- tion. Save your country first, and then you may have ues. He knew they would be morally courageous in the walks of life, as they bad been physically courageous in the field Let us have a common Constitutio Union, and a fag, aud bring them to one altar, swear- jug that they shall be preserved though all otber things perish ‘The President was frequently interrupted by applause. Mr. Seward was then vociferously called for and made a speech The ceremonies at the platform having been concluded, the party was squeezed through a dense mass Of human beings to the deck of the steamer Andy Johnson. In the meanwhile, salutes were red, and cheers were frequently repeated by theexcited multitade. The Knighis ‘Templar acted a5 an escort. The efforts of the police and committee men to protect the Presi- dential party from the disagreeableness of working their way through the crowd were totally inefficient.” The Masonic fraternity, however, rendered some relief by the interpo- sition of their drawn swords. The steamers Andy Johnson, Ruth, and Olive Branch, lashed ‘together, made the first move torward, slowly followed by as many other boats @s there were original States in the Union, As =oon as the fleet of gaily-decked boats was under way, the Presidential party cro=sed over from the steamer Andy Johnson to the Ruth, And passed up to the cabin, escorted by a de- tachment of Knights Templar. At this point, Captain Bart Able suggested that as the boats Were about to pass the Missouri river, the party should be escorted tothe upper deck to view that Mighty stream. The President and party were then escorted to the hurricane deck of the Ruth, where they passed the time in a very pleasant manner. AT ST. LOUIS. At 4 o'clock the boats returning from Caron- delet reached the levee near the foot ot Caron- delet street, where the party disembarked and were transferred to carriages. Thousands of persons here crowded around the party, all Anxious to see the President and other distin- guished excursionists, particularly General Grant. The poliee had a laborions and strength-exhausting t.me in endeavoring to keep bsck the noisy multitude from crowding On the earriages. Alter considerable delay the procession ‘went siowly along the route. Many of the houses were decorated with flags and transpa- rencies An arch was erected on Chestnut street, op- posite the Republican office, elegantly deco- rated and orpamented with portraits of John- son, Grant, and Farragut. A statue of Judge Dougiss was displayed near by on a balcony. The sidewalks were crowded all the way on the route, and cheer after cheer repeatedly wentup. Men waved their hats and ladies their bandkerchie!s. A more lively de- monstrution bas seldem tf ever been wit- neseed. When the procession baited at the Linell Hotel the distinguished party were escorted to the parlor, and thence to the balcony over the tain entrance, where they were greeted by thousands of spectators from below. The Pres- ident was introduced and received with deaf- ening cheers. Mayor Thomas welcomed the President, to which the President briefly and patriotically resporded, and the reception was over. Secreta) Seward, Secretary Welles, to- gether with Gen. Grant and Admiral Farra- gut, were enthusiastically received. A dispa’ch has been received from New Or- Jeans inviting the President to visit that city. It is signed by the most prominent citizens. . limentary ban- quet was given last night at the Southern Ho- tel to President Johuson and his Cabinet, Gen. Grant, Admiral Farragat, and the diplomatic corps. Soon after being set down at the hotela large crowd collected in Walnut street and called Justily for the President, He ens wered their summons by ehpeering on the portico, and de- livering the following address: Z Fellow-citizens ot St. Louis: On being intro- dueed to you to-night, it is not for the purpose of making aspeech. Itis true l am proud te meet so many of mg fellow-citizens on this oc- casion, and under the favorable circumstances that I co so.

[Laughter and cheers j And if i Will go back [cries for Sew- ard) and ascertain the cause of the riot at New Orleans, perhaps you would not beso prompt in calling out “New Orieans.” it you will take up che riot at New Orleans and trace it back to its source, or to ite immediate cause, yeu will find ont who was responsible for the blood that was shed there If you will take up the riocat New Orleans and trace it back to the radical Uongress (great cheering and cries of “Bully '*) you will find tut the riot at New Orleans was substantially planned. Jf you will take up the proceedings in their caucusses you will undersiand they then knew [cheers} thata convention was to de called which was extinct, from [ts power Baving expired: that it was eaid that the inten- UoON Was that anew government was to be or- ganized, and in the organization of that gov- ernment the intention was to eufranchise one portion of the popuiation called the colored pepuiation, who bad just been emancipated, and at the same time disfranchise white men, {ereat cheering} When you design talking about New Orleans (confusion) you ought to understand what you are talking about. When you read the speeches that were made, or take up the facts on Friday and Saturday before that conventioz sat, you will then find thatthe speeches were incendiary in their character, and inciting the black population to arm them- selves and prepare for the shedding of blood [A voice—“That’s so!’ and cheers.) You will leo find that the convention did assembie in Violation of law, and the intention of that con- vention was to supersede the recognived aa- thorities in the State government of Louisiana, which had been recoguized by the Government of the United States: andevery man engaged an that rebellion in that convention, with the intention of superseding and upturning the civil government which bad been recognized by the Government of the United States, I say that he was 4 traitor to the Constitution of the United States—[cheers}—and hence you find that anotber rebellion was commenced, having its origin in the radical Congress. These men were to go there, a government was to be or- ganized, and the one in existence in Louisiana was to be superseded, set aside, aud over- thrown. ou say you talk to me about New Orleans. Suppose the question was to come up when they bad established their goverament—a question of power, which of the two govers- ments wis to be recognized—a new govern: ment inaugurated under this defunct conyen- Hen, setin violation of law and without the will of the people, then when they had es- tablished their government and ex ended ani- versal er impartial franchise, as they called it, to this colored population, then the radical ingress was to determine that a government established on negro votes was to be the gor- ernment of Louisiana. {Voice— Neyer,” and cheers and huzzas for Audy.} So much for the New (rieans riots, and there was the origin of the blood that was shed, and every drop of it is upon their skirts, and they are responsible for it. [Cheers.) I could test this thing a little closer, put will not do itbere to-night; but when you talk about New Orleans and talk abont tne causes and consequences that resulted from the proceed- ings of that kind, perhaps as I have provoked Questions of that kind, though it does not pro- yoke me, I will tell you a few wholesome things that have been done by this radical Congress. [Cheers.) Inconnection with New Orleans and the extension of the elective fran- chise I know that Lhave been traduced and abused: | know this came in advanceof me here. 108 have heard that I have attempted to exercise an arbitrary power in resisting laws that were attempted tobe enforced upon the Government.

(Groans for Fletcher.; Yes, ob yes, unbelievers in Christ—men who perse- cuted and siandered and brought Him before Pontius Pilate, and preferred charges and con- demned Him and put him to deach on the Cross to satisfy unbelievers.

The Presi- dent further remarked :—As we are talking this Congress and many respectable gentlemen con- tend that the President is wrong because he vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau bill, and that because he chose to exercise the veto power he committed bigh offence, and therefore ought to be impeached. [Never.] Yes, yes! they are ready to impeach him, and [let them try it} were they satisfied they had the next Congress by a decided majority as this, upon some pre- text or other they would vacate the depart- ments of the United States. It bas been my — misfortune to have fierce opposition, because i have always struck my blows direct and fought with right and the Constitution on my side. The President continued in this strain at great length.
