The interior of the large hall presented such a scene as has not been wit- messed at any previous meeting of the campaign, an attractive feature of the assemblage being the pre- sence of alarge number of ladies. Never before, excepting, perhaps, the Grant demonstration of the fail of 1867, was so large a concourse. assembled in the building, and the scene outside was fully equal in point of numbers and attractiveness, The display of reworks on Astor place was one of the finest of the whole campaign, embracing a number of fixed Pieces, representing patriotic themes and subjects, while rockets and Koman candles were discharged im volleys. Several handsomely decorated platforms hhad also been erected on Eighth street, from which a@ number of speakers addressed the various audi- @ices assembled around them. At precisely balf-past seven o’clock Charles 8. Spencer appeared on the stage inside the hall, av- companied by Rufus F. Andrews, these gentleincn being Presidents of the Union Republican and the Grant and Colfax Ciubs respectively. After the ren- dering of some music by the band Mr. ANDREWS called the meeting to order and stated that this was the last of a series of mect.nis which had transpired in thia Institute until on Tues- day evening next they announced, from telegraphic despaiches received by the operators on this plat- form, the election of Grant and Colfax and Griswold ‘and Cornell.

(Applause.| have been ‘ing to the audience outside of the peculiar Jeatures of this remarkable canvass. The demo- cratic party seems never too weary in presenting itself to the country in protean shapes, Governor Seymour has taken the stump in the West to recon- cule the West to Slair; Blair ias taken the stump in New York to reconcile New York to Seymour. Goy- erhor Seymour is making a series of public addresses, in which he succeeds in ad- Vancing the measures of some of his most distinguished supporters. For example, he has become exceedingly luminous of late upon the very unfair and unjust distribution of nmbacks in this country. ‘The Bast has more than the West; the North more than the South.” And a candidate for the Presidency makes it a serious argument in opposition to General Grant that we of New York have got more cash than weare entitled tohave. Has Goveraor Seymour forgotten who it was that made the apportionment of nattonal bank currency in the country? Has he forgotten the name of the states- mau at the head oithe treasury Department when the national bank system was created? If my meni- ory serves me, the name of that statesman was Chief Justice Chase, and, if rumor is true, Chief Justice Chase was Seymour's candidate for the Presikency; and the only reason wnyiChiel Justice Chase did not receive the nomination was because Governor Sey- mour’s desire to have it for himself was stronger than his desire to give it to Chase. (Laugiter.) I think it is very unkind, indeed, it is cruel, not only to disappoint the Chief Justice of the nomination’ when he felt a perfect treliance on the prom ise of Seymour that he shonid have it; but that now he should go to Obio and charge upon the disap- pointed Chief Justice al! the troubles and perplexi- tes that seem to embarrass the good State of Ohio. Not only that, the Secretary of the Navy, the vener- able Mr, Welles, is understood to be an ardent sup- porter of Governor Seymour for the Presidency, and, astonishing to rei the Governor goes out West and inaulges in the most mysterious and un- compromising insinuations against the fair fame and integrity of the venerable Mr. Welles. He in- quires with peculiar gi; lcance what Mr. Welles hag done with all the monty be has had? (Laugh- ter) What Mr. Welles nas done with all the ships that he bought (and we know he has bought a good many)? Witha significant glance he intimates that there is some! very W1 ind damaging in Mr. Welles’ record, itis very |, indeed, upon Presi- dent Johnson’s administration that atter doing all they can to reirieve {the fallen and dis- irited fortunes of sSeymour—after Presideut johnson himself with grewt delicacy and disinter- estedness even refused to take Seymour's place on. the ticket, it is very hard and ungrateful tor Sey- mour to go abroad aud denounce President Jonn- Son's adounistration. It isa somewhat novel aiti- tude for me, perhaps, as a defender and apologist of President Jonnson’s administration, but reaily it touches me tothe quick to see the Commander;in- Cinef of the armies of the United States misrepre- sented by the democratic candidate for the suc- cession; and therefore it is that I avail myself of this occasion to protest against the slanderous accusa- tions that Governor Seymour 18 making against his frien President Ji Secretary Welles, and Chief Justice Chase. I @ moment ago that at changes had come over the democratic party since my, Griswold and 1 belonged to it; and 1 was never more ac ivhed of this than in rewdt @ few days ago a democratic specch. I had the Pleasure to read in the World (for I always like to 100K at that paper to see what the enemy is doing— it is a military habit you kndw) a specch made in advocacy of the nomination of a very worthy gentleman for a high judicial station in our city. ‘I will venture to give you the three principal points of the speech, you will thereby get a very clear idea of the characteristics and qualities that must commend @ judicial candidate to the democratic party as it is now organized in Tammauy Halil, The rat achievement of the distinguished lawyer was ‘that he had pores to the satisfaction of tue Coart of Sessions that lager was not beer; his next remarka- ble feat was to convince the Superior Court, Mr. Justice McCunn presiding, that he ought to quash by single motion,made by this learned advocate two hundred indictments found against democrats for violating @ criminal statute. The prec'se nature of the motion ic by the advocate was not des- cribed, It was ulently left to the imagination. Tsupposs my friend, the chairman, understands the nature of it, Mr. SPENCER—Perfectly. General SICKLEs (resuming)—The third performance of this candidate for high judicial honors was that he convinced the Supreme Court of the First Judicial district—a court remarkable for iis learning and for its courage—that a citizen had just aa much right to arrest a policeman as @ policeman had to arrest a citizen. (Laughter.) These three its conetitute sound democratic doctrine, and under these circum- stauces you will appreciate the dimculties and em- barrassments Governor Griswold and I have in training any longer in that organization. I have recently, as perhaps some of you know, been mak- ing @ short tour in the interior. I found my old democratic friends not a little embarrassed in the country as to their present political status. One of the first salutations 1 met in Binghamton was a cheer from @ man, a reliable democrat, who sung out, “Hurrah for Seymour or any other maa!’ Upon inquiring of him as he came up to me with friendiy grasp of the hand for “auld lang syne’ why he had made this singular addition to the nsual form of the cheer, “Well,” said he, “you know It is get pretty uncertain who we will have up in he field when ejection day comes.” (Great laughter.) 1 have not in all my experience secn a more remark- ubie tilustration of the admirable disgipiine than now prevails tm the democratic ranks. And for another tiusiration why need we go further than the columns of the democratic organ, that remark- ebie jourual kaown as the World? Can any- thing in journalism be found more admirable than tue iacility with which it stopped praising Blair immediately after the October eections and began ‘to abuse him for losing them? Itis @ rare and un- precedenied quailty in @ great pubiic journal at once to amuse its opponenia, to entertain its adversaries and to terrify its own friend ned it wything can exceed the usefulness of the World to neral Grant it is the injury it has done to Seymour.

We kyow; we had heard of the wick- edest nan in NewYork, but we did not kaow who ig tue wickedest man in the United States, and Frank Blair has come all the way to New York to tell us that his name is Stanton. ‘it rather tends to compromise the respectability of the Biair family in general for me to aunounce to you in that con- nection that Frank Blair's brother Montgomery sat tn Cabinet council with that dreadiuily wicked man some four years, and would have stayed there uni!l this time bad not Mr. Lincoln told him one day that “his time was come,” and quictly dismissed him, (Laughter and applause.) But one thing we must say of Frank Blair—he is at least consistent, for he telis us again, with significant repetition, that his voice 18 still for revolution, and that if he 1s elected he will seo to it that the Reconstruction laws perish at the hands of Seymour. In Octo- ber, feliow citizens, the great issue as presented by the democratic leaders was whether or not the olicy of Congress should be sustained, They put in issue every art of the administrat.on of Mr, Lin coln in putting down the rebellion. They put 1s ts- sue all the measures of Congress, and the resalt has been that our administrauion of the country since 1s61 has been triumphanily endorsed at the ballot box, (Cheers.) And now the great issue which re- mains to be decided is the issue chalienged by Gov- eruorgSeymour himself, “Which is the fitter ; Man “tor Presiden’, Seymour or Grant?” | * * The campaign, my friends, draws td @ close; the baltic is soon to be fought; the great and final victory is soon to be won; aii praise to the gallant Boys in Blue for their share intue confilet. ») From one end of the ‘y have everywhere rallied to ihe standard of thelr great leader.” All praise to the patriotic Union men of our untry Who have stood urin to the prieiples and the issues for which you fought in the fleid.

Who has not praised the ardor, the earnestness and the zeal of the Tribune? We are under yet further obligation, which I must not omit to mention.

My comrades, I will give way now, that you may welcome some of our brave comrades who are beginning to march—to rally with you. (cries of “Go on,” “go on.) I thank you. This ts only one of those meetings that I have to address yet to-night. I have to go inside of the hail to speak to a few thousand there.

THE LAST GRAND RALLY IN BROOKLYY. | Republican Demonstrat! in the Academy of MusicLarge and Enthusiastic Gathering— Speeches of James E. Blaine, 8. L. Wood- ford, 8. Booth, T. Cayler, &c. Last evening one of the largest republican demon- strations held during the present campaign took place in the Academy of Music, under the auspices of the Central Union Club, Brooklyn. In point of attendance, enthusiasm and unanimity of feeling, it has not been surpassed by any meeting this fall. From floor to the ceiling a sea of faces stood forth in bold relief, and the house being brilliantly iumi- nated the effect was imposing in the extreme. The frequent bursts of approbation manifested the senti- ments of those present, and notwithstanding the dense inass of human beings who were packed together in every direction, the proceedings were charact: rized by order and good humor. Certainly, the Academy of Music never contained such a tre- mendous crowd, nor seldom has it been the recep- tacle of a more unanimous body. The audience was composed of @ large number of ladies, and while many were seated in all available portions of the house, the stage was crammed to its utmost limits. Besides this, an immense congregation assembled outside, their most persistent efforts being anavall- ing to obtain admission, a4 scarcely a seat had been | left unoccupied at half-past seven o'clock. An ex- cellent band was In attendance, and at intervais en- livened the proceedings with some lively music. The Central Glee Clab also sang a few appropriate songs and were loudly applauded, althongh it must be aid that harmony appeared to be only a secon- dary consideration, platform was erected outaide the building, and suspended across the street were Jong strings of Chinese lanterns, Great enthusiasm | prevailed.

Having adverted to the advantages which the Freedmen’s Bureau held forth to the negroes of the South, the speaker went on to Stace that one act of the democratic candidate was enough to consign his name to infamy for all time. On the 4th of July, 1863, the people were divided between prayer aud fighting for the saiva- tion of the land, Ou that day where was Horatio Seymour?

He dia not in- dulge in all sanguine hopes, because he knew that the democratic party had elements of tenactons pride which might exhibit itself strongly prior to 1s speedy death. The democratic party, he contended, Was composed of the organized ignorance of the land, and would, no doubt, retain its tenacity so iong as ignorance abounded. The democratic party, stripped of their hope of carrying the State of New York, had as brilliant a chance of so doing as some of the democratl leaders had of being translated #o heaven if they died that night.

Wooprorp next pre- sented himself and delivered an address upon the issues of thecampaign. He reviewed at considerable Jength the claima of the two candidates on the votes of tne people, and having criticised the conduct of Ho- ratio Seymour during the proceedings of the National Democratic Convention proceeded to point out the advantages certain to accrue from the election of General Grant. He referred to the commencement of the present canvass, contending that from the outset the republican party had the sympathy of the non-partisan masses of the country. ‘The democracy argued that the reconstructisn laws were void in law and gad fatlures in fact. Republicanisin re- jomed that the n on, alike under the laws of war, the evident spirit and the written words of the constitution, and under the inevitable logic of common sense as applied to the actual con- dition of aifairs, had clearly the right to compel loyal reconstruction, and to dictate such terms as should secure the just results of the war. The speaker re- ferred in glowmg terms to the military exploits of Grant, and concluded by calling on all loyal men to vender their Votes for the man who saved the coun- uy. Tir. 8. Broogs was then called, and in response briefly returned thanks, He was followed by Mr, T. CuyLER, who from one of the proscenium boxes delivered a short address, in which he observed that the day was approach- ing, and that on Tuesday no man who loved his country would be absent from the rey ating place there to record his vote for Grant, and he sincerely believed that the generations to come would revere their memories for having done a great act toward a restoration of peace in all the States of the Tnion. The meeting did not break up till after eleven o'clock, when the vast crowd quietly dispersed. COLFAX. Speech in Evans- Speaker Colfax in India ville. EVANSVILLE, Oct. 30, 1868. The Hon. Schuyler Colfax was tendered a public reception to-day in the Opera Honse. He spoke at Turner Hall at night. He came down from Vin- cennes ona special trainin the morning, and was received at all the stations by large crowds of peo- ple with music, flags and decorations. The audiences in this city were very large and enthusiastic. At the Opera House he was Introduced by General Veatch. Mr. Colfax spoke of the auspicious in- dications of Pegeoers -_ bows pax next Tuesday, and ti] ea and protection for ail, South and North, that would follow. In the course of his remarks he alluded to the false- hood of the Louisville Cowrier, Me said that Wednesday morning, the day he spoke at New Albany, that paper charged that in 1852, after Scott's’ nomination, when the tide was turning against him at the South, Colfax wrote hogus letters from South Bend daily for weeks for the Louisville Courier, telling of the enthusiasin there was in that region over Scott’s nomination. He dented the charge in (oto in his New Albany speech on Wednes- day, declaring that he had never written such let- ters to thator any other paper thus falseiy dated. On Thursday the Courier acknowledged that its charge of the previous 7 was untrue, but reprinted a letter from its files dated 1852, at New Orleans, and signed “Loursania,” before the nomination, bat urging Scott Inthe South as sound on slavery, and which its editor says he is willing to swear was written by him. Mr. Colfax branded this ag equaliy false with the previous statement, which his author had acknowledged to be false, and said if the editor swore toit he would only be as gulity as when he joinea the treasonabie attempt to destroy hts country. He proved its falsity by citing the fact that in May—the next month after the date of the bo- gus letter—he voted in the national convention that hominated Scott against the platform because it was o-slavery. ile also drew attention to a telegram From Louisville, sent Wednesday afternoon to the As- sociated Press and published in Thursday morning's papers of the West, embodying that last charge and saying that the disclosure of this letter had created a sensation there and much comment; but no one out- side of the Courier office in Louisville could have | seen this bogus letter till the paper was printed the next morning, showing that this was a manufac- tured falsehood, MASSACHUSETTS. the Fifth Massachusetts Congres- sional District. By the following letter from Judge Otis P. Lord, in response to the notification that be had been nom nated for Congress by the democrats of the Fifth Massachusetts district (General Butler's), It will be seen that the Judge tacitly withdraws from the fight, leaving the contest altogether between Butler and Dana—two radicals, The democrats will therefore have a fine opportunity to make @ choice which of the two to chose, “slavery or death:"— SaLem, Oct. 26, 1868, JONATHAN NaYSON, Eaq.:— My Dear Sit—I have received your communica- tion informing me that at a convention of demo- cratic and conservative delegates, held in this city on the 16th inst., 1 was nominated as a candidate for Representative to Congress from this district.

Henry Ward Beecher delivered a lecture on the “Political Aspects of the Country” in Boston on the evening of the 29th, Richard O'Gorman, Corporation Attorney of New York, addressed a large audience of the democracy in Rome, N. Y., on Wednesday evening. Senator Sumner says “we can have specie pay- ments by the next Fourth of July; not only that “we can but that we ought to have them.” Yet he fails to show how. Perhaps he intends to invoke “my prophetic soul, my unele.? ‘The Boston Traveller (radical) puts forth the fol- lowing:—General Kilpatrick has gone into the Fifth district to do what he can for the purpose of dividing the party there. He is from the State of New Jersey, a State which is one of the most doubtful in the Union for Grant and Colfax. If his services are as valuabie as they are claimed to be why is he not there doing battle against the common enemy, in- stead of seeking;to divide his friends? The Zanesville (Ohio) Courier, ical, offers the following conundrum:—Hon. Willard Warner went from this State to Alabama and was taken up for the United States Senate. The Signal (democrat) de- nounces him as a “carpet-bagger.” Hon, 8. 8, Cox went from this State to New York and has been taken up for member of Congress. The Signa? professes great pleasure over this and congratulates the coun- try on the prospect of his election, Why this differ- ence? “After Grant, what?

Efforts were made vy both parties to bring forward the full number of Ie- galized citizens, and It was current that to eifect ‘this end all tne police courts were emptied of every person that had the semblance of a right to enter his name. Many rumors were current throughout regis- tration hoar; sthe more important are that nu- merous presented papers upon whose face were destitute the important words “Supreme Court’ were thrown out, and those reons submit- ting them were deprived of their rights, Arrests were numerous because of this ail fraud, and con- fined in jail, while others were at once taken before United States Commissioners, one in particular being ‘an old gentioman, whose gray hairs aad general ap- pearance betokened an old resident; but as his par oy lacked the necessary regularity he was arrested an officer and committed to answer.
