Cheers, STBUBENVILLE, Ohio, Sept. 25, 1868. \ ) ‘The republicans held a large and enthuslastic mass meeting in Kilgore, Ohio, to-day. Extensive preparations were made for a grand demon- atration out doors, but owing to the incessant tor- rents of rain that fell during the day it was thought advisable to postpone it until October 6. The meect- fing to-day was presided over by Mr. Robert Sher- wood, who, upon taking the chair, announced that Mr. Edwin M. Stanton, ex-Secretary of War, was present and would address the meeting. The an- pouncement was recelved in the most enthustactic manner. When order was restored Mr. Stanton ame forward and commenced his address as fol- bows:— FRIENDS AND FELLOW CiTIzENS:—The time ts rapidly approaching when you will be called upon to choose whom you will trust with the chief executive power of this nation for the next four years, and Who shall exercise the law making power as your representatives in Congress during the next Congressional term. You have never made a @oice so important to yourselves, to your country and to mankind, for upon it must rest the issuca of peace or war, of domestic trangullity or civil dis- eord—of freedom or slavery; in short, of the GENERAL GRANT AND COLFAX. Genera! Grant stands this i ented you the fore- Most military commander of the world, with peace for his Watehword. (Cheers.) Why should he not be elected? What reason has auy lover of his country for not voting for hun? By bi side stands Schuyler Colfax, who, by his own energy and industry, ad- vanced from the printing office to the Speaker's chair, and for three successive terms has filled that high office with honor and distinction, (Applause.) The history of Grant 1s known to you and to the Whole world, Educated at West Point he served with distinction through the Mexican war, and when it was ended resigned 3. postion and engaged in the pursuits of civil le. At the commence- ment of the rebellion he joined the army and soon rose to the rank Of Major General commanding an army. He moved upon the enemy’s works at Donelson and compelled their commander, Buckner, to surrender, with 18,000 prisoners, Soon after he grappled with Beauregard at Shiloh, subsequently defeated General Johuston, chased the rebel General Pemberton into Vicksburg and forced him to surrender, with 30,000 prisoners of war, (ciears.) Having been appointed licutenant neral he changed his quarters to the Potomac and ally compelled Lee to surrender with his entire army as prisouers of war, and thus .brought the re- beliion to anend.

A REVIEW OF THE LATE WAR.

Her mother, Christina, a woman of stubborn will and strong animal passions, was not a mode) of which a pure minded danghter might boast; and as Isabella ts a full biooded Bourbon, she naturally and two closely followed the lessons her maternal parent placed before her, namely, to follow unreservedly her lower instincts, even to the ignoring of the most sacred of social relations—the marital. We have remarked that the present Sovereign of Spain wasa Bourbon. She is of that great French family which in the fourteenth and subsequent cen- turies extended its influence throughout continental Europe, and gradually, by intermarriage and diplo- macy, succeeded in inheriting almost every seat of power in the principalities of Germany and the king- doms of Eastern, Western and Southern Europe. ‘The Guelphs, the Ghibellines and the Bourbons at one time divided civilized Europe; but while the first named straggled in Italy for the mastery the de- scendents of Louis IX. of France, and, earlier still, from England.

From 1833 until 1835 the ques- tion of success was dedidedly with (he adherents of Don Carica; but froin that time their fortunes, through the rie | labors of Christina, began to wane, 80 much 80, that the constituent Cortes of 1828, gathering courage, approved the decree of expulsion of Don Carios and Mia family from the throne, passed by the legisiative body of 1854. In August, 189, peace was concluded between the adherents of the einim- ants to the throne, and Don Carlos, impoverished, heart-broken and deserted, save by a few of his ful- jJowers, in the month following fled to France. As the civil war progressed Espartero, as com- mander of the Queen’s army, rose to yi power aud consequence. The parties of the conservatives and the liberals continued to oppose each other as to the wisest course to pursue in the direction of the goverument.
