The lecture rooms were filled by avery appreciative undience. Sir Morton Peto, Mr. and the other English capitalists just returued to New York from their extended tour in the West and North- western portions of the Union, were present, as was the Hon. Robert J. Walker, Edward E. Dunbar, Esq., President of the club, took the chair about eight o'clock’ and introduded Mr. Squier. Mr. Sqcree then read an address, which, as he stated, contained the result ot his personal experiences as a tra: veller in those highly interesting regions of South Ame- rica which,had heretofore juin almost hidden in the vast mountam plateaus and ranges extending from the base of the Cordilleras to their point almost of union with the Andes, and in which were to be found great water basins, &@ peculiar fluvial system, monumental remains, and a geographical and topographical arrangement which ren- der their history ope of great interest, The lecturer then detailed his journey by steam from the ancient town of Panama along the shore of the South Pacito, } the desolate but romantic appearance of the coast by Quito, Guayaquil, Ecuador, Payta, the Chincha Islands and Pisco, to the ‘port oi Arica, his landing place, and the point of commencement of injand travel m ‘Peru towards the vast. mountains of the republic. The sconery is bleak, and conveys to the explorer or tourist a senso of the lick of energy which besets the inhabi- tants, even before you sot foot oa the soil. Tacna ix (be | third’ city in Peru, and enjoys an extensive trade in copper and cinchona bark. A railroad—the longest in Peru, being forty miles—conveys you from Arica to Tacna, the latter city lying {ar above the former. .

The lectarer, on taking of hi glove, in on attempt to resuscitate the man, found that blood was oozing from the skin of his own hand, Other than this he had not much physical sufloring. Mr. Squier then went on to describe the svs- term of great fresh water which is met with ax you stand hear the summit of thegordilierns, the six islands whic are located on one of them, and detailed the ro, mantic tradition of the Incas, their great ancestors, the wards the Andes and Brazil. Having pictured the ma- jesty of nature, as it were, unveiled in her solitary grandeur, from his eievaicd stand-point Mr. Squier next treated of the material resources of Peru, and told of the treasures which are yet buried im her soil or might be raised from it by a proper system of cultivation, The existevce of the guano islands in a source of great corruption to the Peruvians, from the facility with which they could raise money abroad, more partieularly in England, by permitting shipments of the deposits. ‘The revenue Was always anticipated and for the most part squandered. The only hope for Peru was in emigration from abroad te her territ but the lec- turer was pretty certain that this would never comerfrom the side of the Amazon, nor fora long period from the United States, as mon did not emigrate unless competled to do so by necessity, for the most part that of an | over crowded population, Mr. Squier concluded a very able discourse by ob.crving that his experience taught him that Peru was yet an excellent country wo emigrate but strongly recommended the aspiring and weulthy of our citizens Wo organize and Ot out a scientific exploring expedition which might go there and see what could be done for her. This could be secomplished at a from, post of ten thousand dollars ‘The lecturer was applauded on resuming his seat Hon. Rowmrr J.

He hoped that the American would never forget what wand and Englishmen had ae- complished in former times, and he o assure them that the people of England, in on out of Parliament, were not really hostile to the cause of the the Union during the late war.

We were met and opposed by men who went ap to the shores of Lake Lae and concocted a platform in the face of ious achiovemente of the Unica, declaring tthe war was a failure, and that there should be au immediate cessation of hostiliti ‘These men, false and recreant to the American people, before they can again Iny claim te the confidence of the people, must go down on their knees and ask pardon for their offences. (Cheers,) In the terms of that platform they appealed to every base passion of human nature—to the selfishness, and meanness, and cupidity of the homan heart. ’But the people-republicans ‘aud war democrats—etood firm, calm and determined, and they weut to the ballo$ box and re-elected their President, the news of which shook rebeldom to its centre, The men of that November day, by their baliots, and the brave soldiers of Sherman, who marched to the sea, and tho logions of Grant, that captured the grand army or the rebellion, saved the nation, They saved it because the American people had revolved, and had proclaimed it to all the world, that America should live, and thot it should live a free country. aye gn The men who knowingly drew up and accpeted the Chicago plat form were not patriots to their country, and could not havo been, for had that Chicago platform received the sanction of the American people the United States would to-day have been boltted out from the map of nations. Yet these are the man that to-day ask you to Support them, because shey say they endorse the ‘Presi- dent we then made.

He told them that this was their comtry as much as tt was the white man’s country, Now are these New York Chicago platform democrats supporting the President on these declarations? Do-they dare avow they support him on them? = Mr. son went further aud told these black men that all men inust stand upon their merits; that it wasa law of heaven as well as of earth that a man’s standing was to be measured by his merit, whether white or black. Do these democrats support the Prosi- dent on that doctrine? Noi a bit of it. ‘hat else does ‘Mr. Jobnson say and do?
