Reception of the Vice President Elect at Pittsburge-Speech of Mr. Colfax—Liberty, Justice and Protection for All the Policy of the Republican Party. PrrrssurG, Pa., Nov. 5, 1868. Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Vice President elect, arrived here this evening. He was met at the Union depot by an immense crowd, who received him with enthu- siastic cheers, which he acknowledged by bowing. He is here in fulfilment of a promised visit to General Moorhead, who met him at the depot and took him to bis residence in the Eleventh ward. Here Mr. Colfax was entertained at a sumptuous banquet, a large number of prominent citizens being present. During the evening he was serenaded by the Tanner clubs and a@ great multitude of citizens. He made two brief speeches during the evening. He complimented the citizens of the county of Al- legheny upon its magnificent majority for the right on Tuesday, He said there was @ trinity of princt- ples in the victory of Tuesday—liberty for all, justice for all, protection for all. By that sign ‘we conquered, ‘There was another reason why .this young and patriotic party succeeded. It declared that we ought to enfranchise rather than enchain, elevate rather than crush, build up rather than trample down, and because we bore our cause down to the humbie and helpless, though denounced by all the enemies of right this broad land, we went forward to conquer and win salvation for the Union, and we gave emancipation to the slave— (applause)—when in this contest we were the only party int is broad land that dared to stand by the downtrodden and oppressed people of the South, the only party that denounced the outrages that dis- honored us a8 @ nation and when upon our heads were Invoked the bis of those who loved our country, I know that Eid rejoiced on the night of the election over the victory we won.

LowBL, Nov. 6, 1868, General Butler was greeted last evening by about 8,000 of his fellow citizens, to whom he made a brief speech. He had triumphed, he said, under the motto of equality to all men and rights under the. law, by using freedom’s great weapon, the ballot. He hailea our glorious triumph of republican principles throughout the land, and believed that it would bring peace and prosperity; we shall not poag bere murder after murder and riot after riot, k at New Orie: from which we have reported 25,000 for Seymour and 276 for Grant. There was a time, as he remembered, when the peovie of that city behaved better (applause), and he felt’ confident such a time would come once more. Several Southern States have voted for Seymour, or are in doubt, because men’s lives were threatened if they attempted to vote.

If the republican party 1s true to the preat democratic priuciples of Jefferson and others it will hold the government fora generation to come.

Let us pledge ourselves§as a party in power with a renewed lease that we will atd in carrying out the principles under which we have triumphed. General Batler’s District.

His name was noton the check list because he had paid no taxes for two years. Mr. Dana himself, too, lost his yote. He had declared publicly so many times that he had been a resident of Manchester for twenty- two years, the authorities of Cambridge struck h name from the lists there, and he never was a voter in the beautiful town by the sea. Poor Kilpatrick, also, not only had the misfortune to lose his yote, but the ad mortification of seeing his candidate ina pitaful minority, and worse than all, his own State of New Jersey, which he had deserted to en- gage in ashameful raid on this district, eet for Seymour and Blair. We should think Kilpatrick would feel like making a bee line for the rogion of the dead mummies of Chile that were shaken up by the earthquake, General Butler's vote in the district is over 4,000 more than lt was in 1806, and larger than Mr. Alley’s was in 1864. Every town in the district give, him a majority. A hundred guns were ed on the Common in honor of General Butler's ton. UNION REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE. Action Upon Alleged Frauds in the Late Elec= tion—Proposed Reorganization of the Re= publican Party in this City Voted Downu— The Primary Elections. The regular monthly meeting of the Union Repub- can General Committee was held last evening at their headquarters, corner of Twenty-second street and Broadway. There was a full attendance. Mr. Andrew W. Leggett, one of the vice presidents, oc- cupied the chair. The Finance Committee was called on for their re- Port, but it was claimed and the claim allowed that the Committee should first make its report to the Executive Committee, From the committees on Naturalization and on Public Printing reports were called for, but the chairman of = committee being absent, the presentation of their respective reports was postponed. ir, RICHARDSON submitted the following resolu- tions, which were adopted without debate:— Resolved, That this committee recommend the State Cen- tral Comm! to take such measures fn ‘to the frauay- lent votes cast at the late election as will yw the people of voters were wrongfully this State by what means the deprived of thelr legal and just rights. ved, That the State Central Committee be requested to constder'the propriety of contesting the seats of euch State oficers as claim to have beeu elected at the late election. Mr. WHITE submitted the following resolution:— Resolved, that this committee request the State Central Committee'to take steps at once for the ‘zation of the Unton republican party in the city and county of New York. Mr. WHITE supported his resolution by insisting that the result of the late election had most conclu- clusively shown the neceasity of a reorganization of tae republican party in this city. ~~ should use every eifort to prevent — and divisions, and now was the time to do it. If there had becn har- mony he was sati-fled that they would have polled a much heavier vote at the late election, Mr. Lucas opposed the resolution on the ground that it was conferring on the State Central Committee that which they should feel a delicacy in doing. He instanced the workings of ore system in the Eighth district in support of argument. In that district there were given for Grant 3,600 votes, but @ much less number for Griswold. The fact was, many republicans voted for Hoffman, and it was doubtless thus throughout the city. ‘Mr. SINCLAIR ToUsky favored the appointment of inspectors to accomplish the result desired, t. C, 8. SPENCER approved unity. He would wipe out all part differences, but Grant had been elected and he believed he could get along with his neigh- dors. The fact, however, was that this was a beau- titully put up | job, and he could see through it and who would the reorganizers of the republican iu The fact was, the State Central Committee acl DO pores in the premises. He would leave the whole thing to the next republican Convention, General CocHRANE said he came here to hear the Plaudits of success and not a talk about prospective organizations, He did not believe that the State Cenirai Committee was adequate to certain exigen- cies: in their party. Unaware of the source whence this resolution emanated, he must act for what deemed the best interests of the party and the country. The superior and in. ferior bodies should harmonize. It seemed to him that there was for action in this direction. Whatever the method that should be adopted here- after, they should move for readjustment with the olive branch in their hands. He moved the reference of the resolution to a special committee. Mr. SPENCER 01 the reference. He stood on the basis of honor and self-respect, and he would givo no such power to the State Central Committee, ‘Mr. JouN FitcH wished to God that the Fifth Ave- nue Committee and the whole institution were sent to the lowest depths of heil. This self-constituted committee of citizens were at the bottom of their de- feat in this State. General Grant knew who had this defeat, and he hoped he would remember it. While they grinned over the result, he insisted that they should stand on thetr digniiy and rights. By having the Twenty-third street committee join with them they had lost three members of the lature, He advised that here- after ifany committee or political body stepped in between them and tho State Central Committee that they drown them as they would a lot of cats, He hoped the resolution would be voted down, and that they pledge thernselves to resist now aud in all time to come ali outside interferéiice, Mr. beng ye said that tho State Convention was a thing in the future. He approved of reorgani- zation at once. He suggested that the several Assem~ bly districts through their delegates he requested to report what in thew respective opiaions Is the best plan of reorganization. The previous question was called for and voted down, upon which Mr, Tovsuy made a second speech, He avowed himself the author of the reso. lution. There was no nigzerin it, His ideain hav- ing the resolution offered was to accomplish har. mony fn the he tera party in thts city. Perhaps he bad been a little hasty in offering the resolution. 0 t with one committve on the new year, but he was willing to modify it to sutt the wishes and feelings of the committee. Mr, OLIVER Was op; to acknowledging that this organization wags wrong, and he was notin Javor of giving the dissatisfied mumority 4 control in ia organization, He would let them come ia afi join them.

Discussion of tho Naturalization Fraude— Action to be Taken to Contest Hoffman’s Election. i ‘The Union League Club held a special meeting last evening at their rooms on Twenty-sixth street and Madison avenue, to take some action in reference to the alleged frauds perpetrated in the registration of democratic voters. There was @ considerable at- tendance of members, Mr. Jay called the meeting toorder and said:—This being our first meeting singe the d2y of the election, I beg to congratulate powon the magnificent national triumph which we ve achieved under the banner of Grant and Colfax.

This is the business that brings us here to-night. To the popular will, fairly and honestly ex! pressed, we always, aa citizens, cheerfully submit; but there are startling indications that the majorities reported for Seymour and Hoffman do not represent the sovereignty of the but rather the result of a fraudulent conspiracy, organized in our midst todestroy the purity of the iranchise and to fotst into office, by illegal ballot, men whose principles and practices will be as dangerous to the State as they have been to the welfare of the metropoils. If We shall be satistied that this is the case, the question is, how it shail be met? It is a question which thou- sandsare asking and which the loyal wire will expect tins club to answer practically, judi- ciously and wisely. ‘This meeting was ordered for the purpose on the night of the election by Wm. BE.

GREELEY made an address on the change that had occurred in favor of Grant and Colfax in all the large cities of the Umon, with the exception of New Orleans, Where republicans were either driven from tae polls or deterred from voting. San Francisco ou one side and Boston on the other have given hand- some majorities. Philadelphia has done the same, and Utica, the home of Seymour, has been redeeme ae by & me majority. But New York and its suburbs stand out in st! contrast to the rest of the Union in this respect. New Jersey has been lost to Grant and Colfax by the contiguity of Iudson to this city, He attributed the cause of this ion to the yy swindling operations of the last Legislature in the tax levies, against the re- monatrance of hundreds of the largest taxpayers. He believed there were republicans who received money, directly for their influence in this particular. taken not oly. to all the popkeig ot the robbers. but ets of the rol it flsg sable “im fo" plu the "eit ot their suffrage. ring could wel afford A pay a —— aoceee eS votes carry aw! erations Legislature; but 5 was pald they gave enough to effect their apiece Getting up fraudulent votes was performed y certain men who were in the hab.t of resorling to ma, where they soon discovered the political complexion of the customers, ask them ff th vote and if answered in the negative say:—' never mind that; I'll ix that for you,” and h fix it with false naturalization papers, and hence the number of illezal votes cast. He felt that the conduct of republicans in exhibiting the laxity they did on election day was very censurable. If such things can be tolerat he would rather live under a despotism than a republic. Frauds on the ballot box strike dl- rectly at the liberties of the people and should be resisted to the utmost. He then read the fol- lowing resolutions for the action of the meeting:— Resolved, That in the deliberate judgment of this club a large majority of the legal voters of thle Bate xoted on Tues: day inet that Ulysses #.
