MEARY WARD BRECHRBR'S SPEECH. ‘The chairman thea introduced Rev.

The call for the meeting was sicne:t by such prominent men du mercanule life as 8. B. Chitienden, Luther B, Wyman, John F, Henry, Samuel McLgan, N. D. Morgan, &¢, aud set forth that 1 would be composed ‘of citizens who believe that a continuance of the present admiuis- tration will subserve, in the highest degree, the financial, industitat aad general prosperity of the republic.” Effort was wade by the opponents of the Grant administration to disparage the meeting us bemg merely a movement of the republican party af Brooklyn to discard the control of the Gen- eral Com:nittee (republican) and of the local federal ‘oitice-holiers. This imputation 1s denounced as “a ase Invention of the enemy,” and the men who thus eagerly rush to tae front in the Grant column, to put themseives on record, claim to be actuated purely by principles of good citizenship, a8 they believe that a continnance of whe tenure of office of the Executive who nas done so mach to decrease the pune burdens, to maintain feace, under trying circumstegees, and maintain o straightforward constitutional policy, cannot fall to be cpudacive to national prosperity and progress. ‘They aré men who, for the greater part, are not Wdentified with political oMfce-holders, and hence it Ws they carry the greater weight with their en- ‘Worsement of hun who in’ the Wilderness was ‘de- sermined to fight it out it 1t took tm all summer.’* ‘fhe Academy, which was well filled by a highly Jatelligent assemblage, umong which was noticeaole many ladies, was brillianily lit up.

We are not here for promiscuous praise nor lor partisanship—not to defend things that are either webk or imperfect or wrong. It 1s your inierest and my interest, it is the fo- | terest of every citizen that whatever 1s Wrong sialt be potted ont by our enemies, ii need be; by our Iriends certainly, We mean that the republican party shalt oe not unworiny * of Hre administration of tie mumortal Lincoln. 1 am not bere thea to-night co cover up misdemeanors | aud to apologize for misrepresentations, if such | there be, mtlemen, there is an indispensavle tmog m she conduct of a great canse— political mutations.

T read lately in that admiravie Paper, the Nation, an article that went to sho’ What for @ party to succeed it must do more tha’ those can do for it who called it into beimg. That is very plausible, but tt ts not correct, 1 think that it is very Lkely to change irequently a Legislature, but the policy of a party you do not need again. Every step vou take in things that are impractica- bie shows that you are not wise in council. Tae opinions expressed by newspapers, by delegates, by coaventions, show that the people are not pre- pared for anew party. ‘Ine republican party hag ae le many mistakes; there t3 much of the legisiation in Gongresa that I should like to see corrected, aud some stop put to this ever- lasting outcry--(cneers)—and practical legislauon altende1 to, (Cheers.) A new party Is not catled for, and tt would be impossible to organize it in time to do any good. My own intercourse with the people, with what Lread in the journals, leads me to the conclusion that the people will stand by it and put it through to victory, (Cheers.) Now, what has been the policy of this administrauon io the umes are past? With regard to that Southern affairs there has been considerable critt~ ciam, but the result of the policy of the republican party has been that tor the past eight years there never was before such order and such mdustry Manifested as there 18 now, ucder circumstances 80 dilticult that the Het 1s not found in the world’s history. With reference to the debt 1 was told in England that it would never be pal, for such @ thing had never been heard of as any people paying 80 vasta debt. There was the Mephistoplieles sug- estion that it it should be paid in a certain way, ‘ie voice of the people however, that it should be nonestly paid, and 000,000 of people declared that — $3,000,000,000 of debt should be paid in taxes, That had been done under the administration of General Grant. The oficial exhibit of March 81, 1869, shows that $315,000,000 of dept has been pald. With this statement also comes the assurance what there 1s to be a reduction Of $160,000,000 of tax- tion. ‘This is the work of an imbecile government, (Laughter.)
