cs e 10 THE TOUR. bly largor than had ever before assembled in Buftalo, Considerabte delay occurred in opening a passage Tor the Presideat’s party to the plaiform. The lines were repeatedly broken by the swaying of the peo- pie, and the most strensous efforts of the police seemed at times powerless to restore order, A part A the military, although clothed with the impressive twappings of United States service and armed with yet more impressive fixed bayonets, were completely hem- mod in by the crowd and consigned to a state of compul- sory imprisonment, ADOKESY OP EX-PRESIDENT FILLMORE, ‘As soon as the whole party bad succeeded in getting on the ptatior.a, ap address was presented to the Presi- dent by a former chief magistrate of the republic, Millard Fillmore, the President making a forcible re-ponse. The foHowing are the addresses ;— Mr. P&ESDENT:—The pleasing duty has been assigned of welcoming you and your distinguished ministers © gallunt oilicers of the army and navy accom- panying you, to the hospitalines of the city of Buflulo. ‘This duty is the more grateful to my feelings, and the more honorable jto you sir, a8 Lam authorized to speak in the pame and on behalf of not only the city authou- rites, but also of all our citizens without distinction of party or sect, All have cordially united in this testimony of respeet to the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, They know and appreciate your triotic devotion to the Union during the darkest days of the rebellion. When Sevators and Representatives in Congress threat- ened treason, and your own State swung from her moor- ings under the constitution and drifted into the* tarbid stream of s°cession, you stood like a rock in the midst of the ocean, against which the waves of rebellion dashed in vain, Still standing erect, while the tempest howled and the waters surged around you, vou tirmly resolved that the Union should be maiptained. since the war new issues have arisen, of which it would not be proper for me to speak on this occasion; but 1 think thay 1 mer venture to assure you in the name of all, that, however we may differ as to the best mode of accomplishing it, yet we are, with few exceptions, anxious to see the Union restored under the constitution, and harmony and commercial intercourse and fraternal love again uniting the North and the South; and the sooner this cau be accomplished the bet- ter for the country, Every intelligent man knows that uniil this is done our credit cannot be establisved abroad, and business to a certain extent must be para- lyzed at home. A8 matiers now stand all is doubt and uncertainty, and no man can safely predict what may happen next month or next yoar. Such a slate of uncertainty 18 a national calamity. But I will not detain you longer. This vast multitude that stand before you are anxious to hear the words of the man they have met to honor, and not mine; and, therefore, with sincere prayers that your journey may be a pleasant and safe one, I repeat the cordial welcome to our city, ‘and regret that your stay is necessarily so brief, Allow me the honor to present you to our citizens | At the conclusion of the address, three cheers were given for te President, ‘THE YRESIDENT'S RESPONSE, The President's reply 1s as follows: — Mr. Cuareman, and throngh you to the vast concourse bat stands before me I feel incompetent to present, in anguage sufficiently descriptive of the feelings and emo- tions produced by this reception. But if I were disposed. to make a apeech,and time would permit me to do it,not- witbstand.ng I might be overwhelmed by your manifes- tations of regard and respect, yet 1 say that the mind would be exceedingly barren, the genius exceedingly duil, that could not give utierance to something on an occa- sion like this (applause.). Iam free to confess to you, that since I started on this tour from the capital of the anergy toward our place of destination in the ‘est, the demonstrations that have been made by the great mass of the people are to me exceedingly flattering aud gratifying: tor I am nothing but a mortal man, and man is susceptible to flattery, and loves it. While I admit this defect and imperfection of our nature, 1 trust in God that } have discrimination and dis- cretion enough to see the difference between maniferta- tations for the simple man and what the emergency ‘and the momentous occasion bring forth.

There was a rebellion commenced some time since, the particulars of which I shall not narrate on this occasion. This government commenced with the wf arm to put thut rebellion down.

Look to the Senate! Look To the Senate of the State of New York. We entered the State through its ocean portal, and we were welcomed by multitudes of people that no man could number.

No; Andrew Johnson is President of the United States, My judginent is, after what I have seen on this journey, that the people will recognize him, ax Ido, asan honest'man. Fellow citizens, one word. The President struck the key note of the political argu- ment of this day and this time. It is that this Union Ought not, must not, cau not remain divided. It bas becn divided five years already. It must be closed up. The circle must be closed within coming year. Since the war which left it dissevered and divided this same Andrew Johnson has been President seventeen months; your Congressmen have been GC men eighteen months; the Union in nine-tenths of its parts is already restored—law, order, justice, taxation—every- thing is complete except the one thing of representation of ten Siates in the Congress of the United Mates, The question is between the President and the Congress. Of aii that bas been done, tell we what the Congressmen of the United States bave done; of all that has been done to bring us so near the consumination, you see that noting has been done that was not done through the direction, agency, activity, perseverance and patriotism of Andrew Johnson President, of the United States. Will you stand then by Congress—(cries of “No! ne!”)—or will yon stand bg the President? (A voice—‘*We'll staad by the President forever.) Then you are New Yorkers; you stand just where I propose to stand. (Cheers.) INTRODUCTION OF OTHERS OF THE PARTY, Mr. Seward then introduced Secretary Welles, Ex- President Fillmore introduced Admiral Farragut, re- marking “he couples his ships together, and don’t mean that the States shall be separated.”? @ =GeNERaL cusrer, having been introduced, said he did not intend to make aepeech, bat he had fought for the constitution and the Union for four years, He was warmly applauded. CALL YOR GRANT. ‘The crowd enthusiastically called for General Grant, but it was announced that he was not present, owing to indispositton. MORE SIGNIFICANT TINTS TO MAXIMILIAN, Mr. Seward introduced Mr. Romero as the Minister from Mexico, when three cheers wore given for that re- public, LUNCHEON, At the conclusion of these ceremonies the party were escorted to the house of Mayor Welles and partook of a collation. LEAVING BUFFALO, Afterwards the procession reformed and the Presiden- tial party were escorted to the Lake Shore depot, where at one o'clock the party took cars for Cleveland. THE MILITARY PARADE, The Fourth regniars, which had the post of honor at Buffalo, deserves more than a passing notice. On Jeav- ing West Point General Grant was appointed to the Fourth infantry; he served with it through the Mexican war, and remained in it until he left the service. During bis campaign against Richmond it was detailed as the headquarters guard, but was broken up into companice at the end of the war and scattered from Ogdensburg to Detroit. Company A had the post of honor in the mili- tary escort to-day, and were delighted with being again under the eye of their old commander. The martial appearance of the company attracted much attention. ALONG THE LINE OF MARCH two large flags were thrown out from private houses, with the names of the President, General Grant, and Ad- miral Farragut inscribed upon them. A party of young Jadies, dressed in white and wearing pink sashes and wreaths of evergreen, threw bouquets into the car riages. A more beantiful occurrence has not been seen on the trip, or one that drew forth louder applause from those who witnessed it, At another place a party of mieses were stationed on a house top with. a bountiful supply of flowers, bouquets and evergreens, which they literally rained down upon the procession below. ‘SCENES AT THE DEVOT. On arriving at the depot for Dunkirk another scene of wild excitement ensued which has #0 often buffied de- scription. The police were powerless to hold the crowd in eheck, and the jam was frightfally dangerous. Be- fore the starting of the train the people outside were banding slips of paper in at the windows beseeching ‘the autographs of the President, Grant, Farragut and the Cabiriet officers present, All good naturedly complied until the starting of the train, and hundreds were scat- tered among the citizens, FROM BUFFALO TO CLEVELAND. is at Dunkirk, Silver he People Along the Demonstr: Creek and Eri Lime Enthusiastic. The train on which the party had travetied from Albany was left at Buffalo, and a new one made up for Cleveland. ADDITIONS TO THE PARTY, Senator Doolittle and wife, who had been spending a few days at their old home in central New York, joined the party at Buffalo, and will accompany it to Chicago. Postmaster General Randal) also overtook us from New York, where he had remained a day to see Mrs. Randall aboard the steamer for Europe. OFF AGAIN, At one o'clock and ten minutes the train started for Dunkirk and Erie. By arrangement made at Tono- wanda by Colonel Myers, the train was barely stopped AT NORTH RVANS, where a salute was fired from a battery and an oppor. tunity given to all to see the President, The country people gathered at the depot, and though the tram stopped but a moment, there was every demonstration of respect and enthusiasm expressed. Bands of music, cannon and flags, and the cheers of the people, betokened the height of popularity to which the President has attained. Passing by Fordbam and Ir- ‘Ving stations, receiving the salutations of the assembled people, the train stopped for ten minutes AT SILVER CREEK, where the usual gathering of people was found, to whom the President was introduced, and continued addressing them until the time expired and the train carried him away. He was continually applauded and cheered throughout his remarks. The speeches at this point were as follows; — WYLCOME OF LEROY ANDREWS, Mr, Presoxsr:—In behalf of the citizens of Silver Creek who have met here to greet you and the members of your Cabinet, and the distinguished chieftains who accompany you, I beg ienve to tender you a cordial wel come, We have nothing else to say than a geiteration of the sentiments which have met you everywhere on your way.

(Immense cheering.) Asthe cars were moving off several bonquets were presented to the President, whon he said, “Bonguets coming [rom women are most meet tributes in the gar- jana of fame,” AT DUNKIRK the reception was of the most enthusiastic description. “ix thousand people at least had assembled to welcome the President, the Cabinet and the gallant Chiefs of the army and nayy who accompany him. The depot build- ing was ornamented with flags and bunting, while flags waved from windows and housetops. Beyond the crowds were drawn up country yebicles of every kind, laden with families from distant spots, who joined in the mon- ster demonstration of welcome with the waving of handkerchiefs and hats. <A strong plattorm was erected in the open space near the depot for thé speakers. A regular volley of cannon was dischared as the train drew up; when it emerged from the depot, into the open space, cheer after cheer went up from the people for Johnson, Grant and Farragut, which were renewed when Mr. Johnson appeared and bowed bis acknowledge- ments, A fine body of firemen, in red shirts and glazed caps, formed {in double line and kept an opeu space through the crowd, to enable the party to reach the platform. Here an address of welcome was read by ©. D, Murray, chairman of the delegation, who said: — Mr. Presipent:—In behalf of the Corporate authorities of the village of Dunkirk, I bid you weicome.

People came on horseback, in wagons and carriages, and on foot, On the great subject of re- construction, which brought them together, there was a eommon bond of union. The President was introduced by ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor Patterson, and then spoke as follows: — SPEECH AT WESTFIELD. So far as a speech ix concerned I do not feel competent to speak, forthe Admiral has spoken for himeelf in the history of the rebeition; and instead of the Secretary of State “selecting substitutes I prefer that he should address you for all us Fellow-citizens, 1 feel peculiarly gratified at these your demon- strations, because they are not personal to Wil. liam HH.

They are ones in whom he ever trusted, Thank you, gentlemen, for your reception. The President was listened to with marked attention by nearly every one assembled. One solitary man in the crowd put in some interruption intended for pert sharpness, when the President put an extinguisher on him by saying :— “Keep quiet till I have concluded. Just such fellows as you have kicked up all the rows of the last five years.”? The fellow subsided suddenly, stepped out of the crowd and was heard from po more, GRANT AT HOME, Westfield altnough a small village is somewhat noted for growing a fine stock of horses. More valuable animals can be seen there every pleasant afternoon at train time than at apy other station of its size between Chicago and the seaboard. As a consequence Grant’s temporary sick- ness was for the time forgotten and he soon found him- self in anmated discussion as to the relative merits at different roadsters that were in view and noticeable for their ood leading points, Both bere and at Dun- kirk Farragut was made to do duty for both archy and navy, as Grant declined to appear, ‘The old “Sea-Dog”’ is everywhere called for, and never fail to “bring down the houge.”? RECEPTION AT ERIR. But it was at Erie that the demonstration of the day, and, comparatively speaking, of the whole trip as yet, regched the greatest proportions. trom Erie boarded the train at Dunkirk, and though they promised a “big thing,” their representations fell far short of the reality. On the way the Erie delegation were bronght into the Prestdent’s car and formally intro- duced. It consisted of Genera! KE, C. Wilson, C. W. Kelzer, Captain Notinger, Major 'T, J. Hoskinson, Captain Wilkins, Captain Stevens, Judge Marvin and Mr, Rowley and about twenty other prominent citizens. At the Erie depot the Preaident and party were received by Mayor Scott, on behalf of the citizens, while drawn up on the platform Was a detachmont of rezular artillery, under Colope! Men- denholl, aud the crew of the revenue cutter Commodore Perry, Captain Ottinger. J DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. Aong those who came on board before the President left the cars were Judge Clymer, the democratic candidate for Governor of Pt Ivania; General H. 1. Brown, a veteran of the rebellions General Woodward, who lost a leg av Spottsyivanin; Captain Hilton, who Jost a leg at Gettysburg; Rush Drawley, Paymaster under Admiral Farragut; Colonel Lynch, wounded at the battle of the Wilderness; Captain Lutz, wounded at Chattanooga; General Walker, a campaigner on the march to the sea, and several other veterans who bore honorable tokens of their fidelity to the Union. These baving given hearty welcome to the President, turned to welcome the heroes of the war, the chiefs under whom they fought on land sea, Nowhere on the trip bad ‘lags waved everywhere, their welcome, bands of music played ‘Hail tothe Cinef,” continued cheers went up imated at thirty thousand; handker- i i county poo It said that the gatherit to-day was iacyent” ever seen ‘in ‘Nor “4 Penn.

POLITICS IN THE WEST. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. General Logan Tries to Prove Grant a Radi- eal—The Democracy Moving in Iown—Re- lican Victory in Grant’s Town—Galen Goes for the Republic: by Thinteen Ma- jority, &e. Cmicaco, Sept, 2, 1866, The political campaign boging to-morrow with warmth, Arepublican mass meeting was held at Galena yester- day, at which General Logan and Mr, Moulton, candi- dates for Congressmen at large, made speeches. The: burden of Logan’s speech was an arzumeut to prove the radicalism of General Grant, He said he know General Grant well and intimately, and he knew all his hopes and sympathies were with the great loyal masses of the nation who, by their valor and blood, had saved the country, whatever efforts might be made to have it appear that he was im sympathy with the copperleads and rebels in their efforts to turn the government over to traitors North and South. He wished to say to the people here and every- where that General Grant was entitled to the fullest con~ fidence of tue Union men of the country, General Grant was vo politician, and it was not his province to mingle in the poitrical a’scnssions of the day; but every military act of his, all his military orders, had received the en- thusiastic applause of all the loyal men of tie country His ccts head shown unmistakably tuat eo was right. He would say this to ‘relive tho country, that he knew Grant’s opinions, and that he was openly for the constitutional ‘amendment ented by Congress. Not only that, but he knew of his own kyowledge that Grant Was earnestly for the Civil Rights bill, and had used ali his mduence to induce used to every proper extent to protect the Union mon of the South against the oppression of rebels. Ali (be Bigns of the times mmdicated that Johnyon was to be (he candi- date in 1868 of the great copperhead and rebel party. In that view it was important to destroy the which the Union party had in Grant. That is the idol of the Union party and the loyal men of tho country, and he was the man they delighted to honor, The plan of the copperheads and of Johnson men was to destroy General Grant's chances tor the Presidency, by attempting to compromise him in the ies policy of turning the government over to uaitors. 1owa pouities, The straight out Iowa democracy, headed hy Lo Grand Byington, have just held their Stat Convention at Iowa City.
