The Ballot Box the Salvation of the Country in November Next. NO SECOND PRESIDENTIAL TERM. President Crant’s Power Over the Senate. Allegiance to the Executive Takes Precedence of Loyalty to Country. THE POLITICAL SITUATION REVIEWED, As early as half-past six crowds began to gather about the door of the hall of Cooper Unton, eager to secure good seats inside, By seven o'clock, when the doors were opened, the crowd gras so dense that it filled the hall and overflowed ifto the aisles and out into the streets before the first rush ‘was over. Captain Byrnes, of the Fifteenth pre- cinct, with 300 policemen, maintained order and system, 8o that the platform was reserved for the distinguished men of the occasion and a few front seats for ladies. The adventur- ous ones ofthe fair sex, however, squeezed themselves into all parts of the nuilding, standing patiently, although wearily, in the aisles, and smothering among the crowds that tried to content themselves in the lobbies, The platform was handsomely decorated with American flags. Above the speaker’s chair was a large campaign painting of the Sage of Chappaqua, and on the heavy crossbeams running above the platform were Mottoes in large letters taken from the letter of Horace Greeley, as follows: PORPENONOIEIEEODOIODEOIDPD PEGE DESEDDAOODED if ec ten I ead be the President not of 4 4 party, but of the whole people.

Rogers, W. H. Reagan, ex-Senator Ross, of Kansas, and numbers-of others. When Senator Tipton, ex-Senator Doolittle and General Cochrane entered loud and prolonged ap- plause greeted them. Mr. W. H. Van Cleft opened the meeting by naming General Cochrane presiding officer, and it was agreed to by a unanimous vote. General Cocurane then made a brief address, as foliows:— Freiiow CitizENs—You have come from your dally avocation and walks of trade, from the columns of laborers in the fleld and shop—you have come at ‘the call of reform, to give your verdict in the cause which is to-day under trial. An earthquake throe from Cincinnati has shaken the whoie Union. The Convention at Cincinnati has given an impulse to your faith. It is the creed of the twelve Aposties, which you have accepted. The nomination of Horace Greeley as our next President, beloved by all, was the upheaval of that earthquake which is to give us a change of government in March next. Fences applause and cheers for G: lis reputation is most wide, wher volence is known and rectitude is His name is known throughout the world as the friend of the human race. (Applause.) We couple another name with his—a paragon of men—Gratz Brown. (Cheers.) He will cleave asunder all the cohorts of sophistry and humbug. Under the banner of Greeley and brown we fight for reform and victory. (Cheers.) The voice of the people is with us, from the States of the South and the provinces of the West, th of the Pacific. North and South, East and West, in the highways and byways people are speaking of the corruption of a government that must give way to better and more honorable men. The whole country is alive with the new revolution, and our pathway shall be for good men and good govern- ment. Excelsior, onward and higher. We are here to appeal to the patriotisin of the American people, and the cause that we are assembled to ad- vocate shall be the cause of the whole people. Onward, then, to victory for Greeley and Brown! (Cheers,) om At the first mention of the name of Horace Gree ley the crowd went as usual into an uproar of ap- plause, which lasted just thirty-five seconds by the watch, and the name of Gratz Brown called forth about eight secondsof the same uproar. At the conclusion of General Cochrane's speech the Secre- tary read as alist of Vice Presidents the names of Benjamin Wood, John K, Porter, Erastus Brooks, Jotun E. Williams, Edward Cooper, Oscar Nathusius, Sinclair Tousey, Samuel Jones, Moses H. Grinne! Gideon J. Tucker and 300 others, and a list of about a hundred and fifty Secretaries, The following resolutions were read by ex-Re- corder SMITH :— THE RESOLUTIONS, Woe, the citizens ot New York, in inacs meeting nseem- dled, ‘without distinction of party, do hereby declare and Fesolve:— 1.

That ‘we recognize in Governor B. Gratz Brow Missouri, a chivairio statesman, the whole of whose pubs life proves him a fit associate for Horace Greeley in ¢ task of extending to the whole Union the ‘work go well done in his own State—giving back power to the people, peace to the nation and purity to the government, 5. That we nail the general approval of the Cincinnati platform and ticket, ‘and particularly the enthustacte support of both pionened ‘he South , as promising to litt our politics out of the dangerous rits of sectionalism wherein they have too long rnn, and to bury out of sight the hates and controversies of the war. 6. That we welcome the co-operation of all Parties in the work of reunion and reform, to which the Cincinnati licket is dedicated, and to which we pledge, by an over: ghelming majority, the voto of this city and the Empire The Secretary announced that letters had been received from prominent reformers all over the sountry, among them Senator Fenton, Senator Trumbull, Montgomery Bigir, Cassius M Clay, ' NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, and W. W. Niles. The following George W, Julian telegram from Gratz Brown was read :— jeyrenson Crty, Mo, Monday, June 3, 1872, How, Eraan ALLEN: le Fegret excoedinxly that important executive business prev dmy attending your of the whole Wesi are run movement, look {ng on it as the sure road to peace, and only hope’ tor a restoration of constitutional goverament,; and, therefore, they do nat intend to be diverted from this single purpose by any side issues. ‘Trusting that New York will respond with equal unanimity, | remain, yours truly, B. GRATZ BROWN, Senator Tipton’s Speech, Senator Tipton, of Nebraska, who was introduced the chairman as Senator from Kansas, said that the telegraph had informed the world that after- noon that, at twelve o'clock that day, that disinter- ested orator of Wisconsin, familiarly known as Matt Carpenter, appeared upon the floor of the United States Senate for the purpose of demolishing Charles Sumner (laughter and cheers for Sumner) and Carl Schurz. (Cheers for Schurz.) The Sena- tor then went on to suggest an illustration as ap- romnade to the event for a popular weekly. After rawing an analogy between a disbanded army earnest in bel trying to keep together for the sake of the spoils, after the war is over, and the present administration, he explained at iength the cause of his dissension with those repub- licans who had not so far advanced on this ques- tion as he (the Senator) had. ‘the republican party was organized, he said, in 1856, and then re: the call that was issued on that occasion, and the og Sere of the nation, by the nomination of John C. Fremont. After slavery was extinct and gone by the act of God, the object of the organization had gone, and they had existed only for one thing; but they were told that the party must be kept together for the preservation of the Union. That party was joined »b true demo- crats and true republicans, Every one of the dead planks had been removed. Let them, there- fore, introduce some of the live issues of to-day. {Cheers ‘Then came the political trouble of the day. Morton seemed to say that it was needful to send an army into the South, because slavery might, by some unspeakable means, be resuscitated. Then they were fnghtened with a fear of Calhounism and the doctrine of State rights, the threatened ad- vance of democracy, the wiles of the Ku Klux and the rebels of the South, An issue made, and it was — made, as to stand fire, ‘Senator Sumner Massachusetts lives to-day. (Cheers.) Senator umbuil had enlisted. Senator Schurz was with us.” (oubers.) ‘The declarations made by the liberal republican party were the same as that made by the republicans in 1856. That party affiliated wit! all those who desired after a universal war a unt- versal amnesty and a one term principle. (Cheers.) ‘rhe Senator then read extracts from the news- paper writings of Colonel Forney as to Grant’s declaration in favor of the one term principle. ‘The Senator proceeded at length to advocate and endorse the principles of the Cincinnati platform and the principles of Horace Greeley. , Senator Dooliitle’s Speech. Senator Doolittle was the next speaker. After generally reviewing the situation, and assuring the audience that Greeley would not, under any cir- circumstances, withdraw, he said that only one thing in the contest remained to be known, and that was the action of the Balttmore Convention. As to the platform to be adopted there, he believed that they must endorse the pe le adopted by the Cincinnati Convention. He thought no better democratic-republican doctrines—for he preferred that name to that of liberal-republican—could have been drawn up even by Jefferson himself, who found- ed that party in 1800, or by General Jackson, who had reorganized it in 1828, Whatever else Balti- more might do, or leave undone, they could not fail to endorse, with perhaps one exception, that political creed. That exception was the tariff question, and he was not sure even of that not being endorsed, He was not sure that the very mode in which that question of raising revenue was. referred back to the people of the several districts which elected members of Congress, was not only the best, bntin fact the only constitutional mode of disposing of it. Cincinnati frankly admitted a difference of interests and of opinions upon this head, and left it to be settled by the people. Such an issue was not and could not be made the para- mount issue of the time. The question of free trade might be important; it doubtless was. But what was that compared with the great ques- tions now ot issue? What was the question of free trade compared with the question of a free coun- try, or of acentralized despotism, of the growing imperialism of Grant’s administration, of the sub- jection of civil authority to military domination ¢ What was the duty on pig iron, compared with the power ofa dictator to suspend at pleasure the habeas corpus, without which liberty could not ex- ist’ What was the duty upon the coat or the hata man wore, compared with that one man’s power to take away from all of us the right of trial by had to be 80. jury? the bulwark of all_ our rights of prop- erty and of freedom? What was the duty on’ silk or wine to the sacred — right of the whole people of a State to govern themselves in their own domestic affairs, free from the control of federal bayonets, which, under vartous pretexts, now held ten millions of people in subjection, while thieving carpet-baggers and scatlawags robbed and plundered them by hundreds of millions? What was the question of a revenue tariff compared with a truly beneficent national reconstruction ? of a new departure from the jealousies, strifes and hates will longey kad adequate motive or plausible pre fic ¢uetmosphere of peace, fraternity and mutaalwood will? (Applanse.) Having, therefore, endorsed the liberal republican platform, would Baltimore also endorse the candidate’ (cries of “Yes” and “They must,”) or would they nominate a candidate of their own, and thus present to the country two candidates for Pres dent running upon substantially the same platfort That was the question, Some sald that it was a hard thing for the democratic Convention to be asked to endorse Mr. Greeley as their candidate, who for thirty years had been their greatest and, sometimes, most determined antagonist. He (the speaker) had himself felt that antagonism in days that were gone, and Mr. Greeley had given him many a blow, which he had returned with the most hearty goodwill. But universal amnesty was the word of the hour. (Laughter and loud applause) He was sometimes told that such a thing had never been asked of a party before—to give up its animos- ities, and bear with tneir own strong arms to the highest place of honor upon earth their life long antagonist. With all their patriotism and power of denying themselves for the country’s good, were they equal to that? That was the question, and he said frankly that he did not believe the party now in power could do such a thing, filled as it was with office holders and all the corruption which fifteen years of patronage had brought upon it. But from what he knew of the democratic republican party, he believed that though it might cost them ‘a struggie to do it, they were capable of ing even to the sublime height of grand and noble act of self-sacrifice. He belie they would say that while Mr. Greeley had heretofore been their political enemy he was now right upon a great issue—the issue of saving our republican gystem of government, of restoring law and civil liberty in place ofa military despotism to the pe ple of the Southern States; and that he had a cepted the nomination in the distinct understand- ing that ifelected he would be President, not of a party, but of the whole people, and in’ the confi- dent trust that the masses of our countrymen would agree to clasp hands across the bloody chasm that had too long divided them, forgetting that they had been enemies in the joyful consciousness that they were and must henceforth remain brethren. Further, if the democracy placed a third candidate in the fleld they must, by dividing the opposition, secure the triumph of General Grant, and with it the continu- | ance of the policy and practices of his administra- | tion, which every day were pushing us on further and further into imperialism. There were some who said that ifthe democrats ran a third candi- date they could elect him over both Grant and Greeley. That was a most fatal delusion, It was a moral certainty that such a triangular fight could result in nothing else than in carrying the election into the present House of ‘Representatives, where General Grant, with his — carpe baggers, were sure to be_ re-elected. It was necessary, above all things, in order to overthrow the Grant Pie that ail the friends of good government should be united and keep to- gether, for they must carry this election by such heavy majorities that there should be no chance of their being counted out by false votes. ‘The question Was not now whether Cincinnati could not have ed aman whom Baltimore could more easily have endorsed; that question was simply for them to say whether Greeley or Grant should be elected. Senator Doolittle then ped bid ot GMs AI personal character, and of course took a very favorable view of his honesty, patriotism and ability. Remarks by Governor Bradford. Governor Bradford, of Maryland, was the next speaker. He said that this was the first time h: had ever addressed a New York audience, and for the last six years had taken very little interest in public affairs, He was now engaged in the work of reform with his fellow citizens, to weed out the corruption that had crept into the administration, and to aid in a better harmonizing of vhe sectional feelings that had too long distracted the country. It was seven years since the war had been brought to a triumphant close, so far as the overtlirow ofall the powers that had sought to overthrow the Union, but nothing had been effectually done to restore the hearts and feelings of the people. While one por- tion of the Union had recovered from the burdens of the war the South still suffered from its horrors through the instrumentality of men who had no interest but that of self in the recovery of the South from the evils which war had brought upon it, The Pye of a vigorous course towards the South had been combatted by men who had main- tained the war for the Union, while others claimed that the South had not been conquered, but for a time depressed, and good men joined with the cry against the South. But now a better feeling was prevailing, and the great wave of political re- formation was sweeping over the land, taking its course from Cincinnati, The corruption whic! up to the present prevailed, the violence engendere in the South and the military interferences that had to be exercised were @ most saddening spec- tacle. And it were a gladdening sight to see patri- otic men rushing to the rescue for the overthrow of a corrupt and radical administration, and claim- ing for the peopte of the South the right to go to the ballot box and declare for themselves who shall be their rulers, What was once prediction is to- day history, Radicalism is a complete failure. The country niust have a trial of Ceca ye | else. It would be idle to go over the failures of the present administration. A jadicious use of the powers of the administration would have sustained the su- premacy of the rerge ican party for years; but that party is now torn to pleces by the despotism of the had passed, and {t | Executive. The first great failure of the party was the attempt to make a President out of General Grant, The responsibilities of the office require imperionsly & man of consummate states: manship. But @ man without this requisite can yet educate himself to able to discharge the high duties of a President to the satisfaction of the whole people and the well being of the country. A man place: in this position must have a complete appreciation of the import- ance of the hich orice he wasecailed to fill, Such & man must educate himself to entertain a proper estiiate of the great importance of the ofice he has the honor to fill, Such a man was Abraham Lincoin, (Cheers) Such a man to-day is your illustrions citizen, Horace Greeley, the candidate of the great republican reform party. (Great applause.) To no portion of the people of the United States ts Mr. Greele, better known than to the people of the South, an to-day they hail his nomination with acclamation, ‘They show they have faith, in spite of pre-existing animosity, in the ability and qualities of the man for the high office he aspires to, and to which, if their votes cando it, they wilielect him, As to General Grant, he had no desire to speak harshl ofhim. He had no cause of quarrel with the Presi- dent, but he had to admit that he had weak points in his character which had greatly disappointed not only his friends, but the country at large. The country expected to find in General Grant—if nothing clse—an appreciation of the high oflice to which he had been exalted, and that he would have directed all the best efforts of his mind and intellect to the discharge of his high functions, He has been directing all his thoughts to a re-election, and, if re-elected, what other chances for a further continuance of oce were before him! There was immense patronage in the hands of the administra- tion, and which was a power that tae sooner got rid of the better. The patron- age of the administration was never 80 reat or so powerful by cliques and rings, and un- fess this is overthrown the oftice-holding power will destroy all that is left of the purity of election. Let us, then, start reform by restricting the Presidency to one term oniy—let it be for four years or six years—but leave no hope for any President to be re-elected, The speaker was frequently interrupted, and eventually withdrew without having concluded his speech, General Kilpatrick's Speech. Fe.uow Crrizens—We are living in a hopeful time; every day is radiant with the sunshine of a new and glorious promise. This vast assemblage of earnest men is but another increment to the great mass of testimony that is hourly accumulating to show that our great political parties are rapidly dissolving for the want of honest principles to battle for; that the political lines which have heretofore Separated honest men are being sponged out, and that men who have minds of their own will no longer allow their manhood to be prostrated beneath the tyranny and corruption of the caucus, and that, at the polls, they will be influenced by principles, and not by promises of patron- age, or driven by oficial threats. Honest re- publicans will no longer submit to an administra- tion of their own creation, which, while it controls all the enormous revenues of the country and holds in its power the issues of war and peace, of order and anarchy, yet proclaims itself above and exempt from all honest criticism, and uses its vast army of mercenaries primarily to perpetuate its own power ; an administration which enjoins upon all its ad- herents an obligation to keep a tomb-like silence in regard to its faults and to prostrate themselve: in obsequious adulation of its most insignificant achievements; an administration which calnmni- ates the oldest and ablest of the party which it represents, solely because they refrain from ing hallelujahs in praise of its sagacity and purity, and persecutes them when they have tie manhood to protest against its glaring iniquities, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS SIDE BY SIDE. Honest democrats are standing side by side with of treachery was not launched against the reformer? Is there a democrat within the hearing of my voice, or in all this broad us in this revolt; because the questions that here- tofore separated them from us are to-day historical and not living igsues, The question of territorial slavery or of sidVvery itself no longer agitates the mind; universal suffrage and the guarantees in our amended constitution are everywhere acknowl- edged. Leaving the dead past buried, there are no vital questions of national policy in which true men of all parties are not substantially as one, And the traditions of the elder democracy especially renders them most hearty and efticient allies in this era of executive nsurpation—when the rights of States, for which they have eo steadily con- tended, have been so often outraged by the central governme ral, What is there to excite criticism or in the fact t men who have herete should now unite agai ks Is ita new experience in the political history of this coun- try? Isitnot anccessity that new combinations should be formed to mi each emergency ? Was not the republican ae itself—against which we are 80 loudly accused of treachery—composed of elements the most discordant’ And what, let me ask, 1s treason to party but a mere juggle of words to frighten timid souls from their propriety ? And when and where was a reformation ever consummated that this — self-same charge land, who would stand above the grave of a Douglas or a Dickinson and say that they were traitors to democracy. And is there a republican who does not honor the names of Fessenden and Grimes, who dared to walk in what they believed to be the path of duty? Gentlemen; the world has outgrown this nonsense; and when a Republican Convention at Cincinnati, and two Democratic Conventions, one at Rochester, in New York, and the other at Itead- ing, in Pennsylvania, all put forth the same declara- tion of principtes, it is the most cheering omen that we ore living in the dawn of a new era—and with us it rests to hasten the time when the gates of the morning shall be flung wide open, and the shadowy spectres of party discipline be chased away forever. WHAT THIS GRAND UNION OF PARTIES MEAN: Gentlemen, I wish to one word in relation to the military’ secretaries, or as Mr. Sumner has justly denominated them, the military ring which surrounds the Preside In a time of war, with unparalleled labor devolving on the chief Execu- tive, Mr. Lincoln, for the first time in the history of our government, was allowea two military secre- taries, both, however, of inf y rank; and also @ trifle over $6,000 beside for clerks and messengers. Now, ifin a time of war Mr. Lincoln had two mill- tary secretaries, surely in a time of peace we hada right to expect that General Grant would do with one. One? Gentlemen, General Grant entered the White House with no less than five—none of them ofiicers of inferior rank, but brigadier generals each and every one of them—and a host of citizen clerks beside. brigadier generals, gentlemen, were required to wait upon his military highness—five brigadier generals to dance attend- ance on this champion of retrenchment, reform—five brigadier generals at a sal thousand dollars h, and one of them d ing, for a time at ieast, th gation at London besides—Brigadier cock, Brigadier General Porter, Brigadier Gene: Dent, Brigadier Geveral Badeau and Brigadier G eral Michler, the Superintendent of Public Build- ings, whose of his military Five brigadier generala at an aggregdte compensation of more than twenty thousand doliars; and this is Grant's promised re- trenchment, economy and reform. Gentlemen, this grand fusion of tionest men from every party means that the people demand a return to first principles; a restoration of the reign of law; a re-establishment of those Jegal — safe- guards, those revered — formalities, those almost sacred traditions of our fathers which we have inherited as the garnered results of that stern struggle which our ancestry, whose first in- stinct was the love of constitutional liberty, waged for centuries without a truce against the encroach- ments of arbitrary power. It means that although the people tolerated and even authorized these magisterial assumptions while war was making its own wild havoc with law, yet they are sickened that seven years of peace, unbroken even by Exe: cutive lawlessness, have been worse than wast seven years of peace, whose bitter fruits are cen- tral usurpations, alien Stat mments, sweep- ing civil disabilities and a suspended habeas corpus. It happens that these two fallacies are held as politicay gospel by the faithful: — First—Allegiance to General Grant takes precedence to loyalty to country, Second~That a democrat is an alien enemy. Now, both of these fallacies we mean to sweep away forever by the election of Horace Greeley, And this, gentlemen, will be the last political cam- naign in which a party will attempt to perpetuate ts power by ringing in our ears the old battle-cry of rebellion. The rebellion, thank God, is ended; the war is over; the time has come for peace, WHAT WE INTEND TO DO. Gentlemen, the partisans of Grant cry out:— “What do you intend to do? What do you expect to gain?’ Our answer is, the election of Horace Greeley will break up that close corporation which assumes to possess all the — po- litica virtue of the country, that ar- rogates to itself alone the credit of saving the Union, and “demands a perpetual lease of power, based on a fictitions sense of gratitude. tear down that false barrier which assumes to sepa- rate boyalty from treason. without a sacrifice of dignity or principle, men of all sections and parties. It will utterly destroy that sectional spirit. which forces the passions of war into civil life when the war itself is ended. It will bring about areal union of honest men from the North and from the South, and it seems to me to be the only way to effect such a union—a union ce- mented by @ common and patriotic purpose to pro- mote the interest of the entire nation, So that Columbia's soil may have a war line no longer, A line between brothers dividing their own; lp May the blessed reunion cement hearts stil stronger, The past be forgotten and buried alone. WHY WE CAN VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS AND WHY WE CAN VOTE FOR REBELS. “Ah, yes,”’ we hear, “this all sounds well, but can you liberal republicans unite with democrats?” Why not? Who forbids the bans? We did not re- fuse to fight side by side with democrats when we had a common cause, and why should we shudder at the proposition of voting with them in a com- mon cause? WHY DEMOCRATS CAN VOTE FOR HORACE GREELEY, 7 again, it is urged that democrats cannot vote for Mr. Greeley—that nd great party can su; port a man who has not been identified with the! organization. Why, my friends, four years ago the rey atti party voted for @ man whose politi- cal principles, if he assessed any, had never been definitely determined, dithough it was generally conceded that he was a democrat if anything, He surely was not a repub- lican in 1865-6, When he was supporting the ‘m: poltcy’ of Andrew Johngon, and when he was send- ny by antographic letters to the Tennessee President Ing over with bad grammar and devotion, and it will | It will bring together, | JUNE 4. 1872—TRIPLE SHEET, ing the removai of Georze W. MeLelan from Wilice of Second Assistant Postmaster General, fot Tre reason, as st: by Grant, that he was a “radical, and Wus therefore weakening the Johuson administration.” Again, who was the most proml- ent competitor of Governor Seymour in the Fourth of July Convention at Tammany Hall? Who but | Ohief Justice Chose, whose repubiicanism was as | old and emphatic as Horace Grecley’s? We all re- member what swift, concerted and vigorous actio wes found necessary in order to break Mr. Chay strength, and we all remember the expressed disap- pointment of sundry politicians ad political newspapers who are just now quits positive that they never can support arepubiican, Why, gen- tlemen, it was a dozen years or more ago that honest democrats were constraining the recog- nition of slavery in the constitution as authority to carry slavery into the Territories, and when Mr. Greeley was combating this construction. Lam in- formed that the democrats who still vote for An- drew Jackson are confined toa single county in Pennsylvania. But the great democratic masses are not voting on the issues of the last decade, or the lust year, but on the issues of to-day alone, and they will vote for Horace because they favor gen- eral amnesty, and they remember that Mr. Greeley was foremost to declare for that righteous measure, even when he knew the declaration would prevent his election to a position second only to the one he will occupy on the 4th of March next. They will vote for Horace Greeley be- cause they are in full sympathetic unison and accord With ail those grand catholic principles and purposes declared at Cincinnati. ‘hey will unite with earnest men from all parties and creeds and sections in pronouncing for a man who fs on an in- tellectual level with those of highest culture, and who is yet in fullest he oars with all the people— aman whose knowledge of public affairs is so wide, whose purpose is so sincere, whose life is of such transparent purity, that for ‘four years to come no smell of jobbery or corruption will longer surround the White House, In short, we will have a Presi- dent who will administer the government, not in the interest of himself, nor of his wife’s relations, nor in the interest of a faction of the party, nor even an entire party, but in the interest of the country, the whole country and nothing but the country, “Still in his right hand will he carry peace. He will be just and fear not. The ends he aimeth at will be his country’s, his God and truth’s.”” But two weeks since, fn consulta- von with brother officers in Washington, General Logan was devising moans for the defeat of Gene- ral Grant as the nominee at Philadelphia, and now he stigmatizes as vile and bratish America’s first citizen, Charles Sumner, because he had the man- hood to protest against the glaring inequalities of the present administration, What does he say? Letus read it again, Why, that General Grant, with his good right arm, saved the liberties of our country. | protest against this In the name of the gallant =e who rode with him to 80 many victories. Why, lemen, don’t you remem. ber that when ‘al Grant was entrenched ni in front of Richmond Sherman had already planted his victorious anner on the ruins of At- Janta? He turned his ‘k on the ruins of Atlanta and marched with his 70,000 boys in blue from At- lanta to the sea, doubled back upon his trac moved over the Salkahatchie, over the broad ri of the Carolinas, cutting a devastating swa seventy miles wide, planted the Stars and Stripes above the dome of North Carolina's Capitol, and re- ceived the surrender of the greatest rebel of them all—General Joe Johnson, Who fought and won ‘the battle of Gettysburg, the most decisve battie of the war? Was it Grant or Meade? Who sent Early whirling down the Shenandoah Valley— Grant, or gallant Phil Sheridan? Who scattered like chaff before the wind the mighty army of Hood in front of Nashville-- Grant, or the “Rock of Chica- mauga,” General George H. Thomas? General hogan, in his reply to Senator Sumner, says I tell the Senator that now he will find an answer to his malignant speech in every crutch that aids a wounded soldier who wends his way through the streets, in every wooden arm, in the ‘grieved heart ofevery widowed mother mourning for her patriotic son.” I tell General Logan that he will receive a response in every shattered arm of every soldier who fought his country’s batties, in the grieved heart of every widowed mother, mourning for her dead soldier boy, and at the grave of every patriotic “boy in blue’ and every crippled soldier of the Union, And Ican tell him more—that the 500,000 brave boys who live to-day, the patriotic, loyal men, and women too, could they vote, will know how to answer that question at the ballot box in November next, General = Grant, who has no good right arm gone for use, would today barter our liberties. Why, gen- tlemen, if General Grant, or Lieutenant Gen: Phil. Sheridan, or George H.

Speech of Colone! McClure. Colonel McClure then addressed the meeting and said :—Citizens of New York, our civil war is over; “Me lingering relics, which are preserved in our gov- ernment, are maintained by mean ambition or meaner passion, We are battling for peace, for liberty, for law. Amnesty must_be universal; I authority must be supreme in New York, Philad phia, Charleston and New Orleans, The humblest citizen, whether in the busy, progressive North, or in the desolated, sunny South, or in the golden States on the sunset side of the great moun shall vote this year 1% obedience to his conv! and the despotism of prostituted power will learn gentlem the lesson for all time, that here the voice of emen, expressed’ without — lawlessness or coercion, is the sovereign power of the nation. With such great issues appeuling to eve! and to the faith of an overwhelming majority of the people of the Union the path of duty is pl and it demands no surrender of formal political as: sociation. Let democrats be democrats if they will, and let republicans be republicans if they prefer, but let patriots be patriots above all. Let us save our threatened institutions before we decide on questions of the details of government. Let us first assure free government to ourselves and to our children, and then we may struggle for the issues We respectively deem wisest in the administration. ‘The issues and the duties of the hour point to the candidate with unmistakable distinctness, Hoi Greeley is the embodiment of the nation’s greatest need. Ever independent, fearless and honest, and pursiting a profession of daily utterance, he has an; tagonized warmly, and erred as mortals ever dot But he has crowned his calling with greatest laurels, and humanity, progress and peace have en- listed his best efforts in one of our noblest lives, He is wise enough to know that Presidents need the highest standard of statesmanship, and that no personal government, however pure or enlightened, can successfully or acceptably rule forty millions of freemen. He was brave enough to defend the rights of the lowly and oppressed, when popular prejudice withstood his efforts like wa f adamant, and he was wise enough to labor vetively with stum- Diing, hesitating pro; 8, until the harvest was ripened and could be gathered in completeness, When the passions of civil war, intensified by the der of a beloved ruler, were sweeping over our stracted country, but one voice was heard above torm calling for amnesty, suffrage and peace. It seemed like hurling the pebble at the thund bolt. The Keystone will join hands with the Em- ire State in the restoration of our land to pe ‘he palsied South will speak from the homes of ¢€ franchised slaves and masters for her safety and prosperity. The column of the East will be broken as New England divides her States between right and wrong. The prairies of the West will reverse the mighty majorities given inthe name of peace in 1868 as they renew the demand for peace in 1872; and from the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains and the far Western coast will come an unbroken ty Will be peace for the living, ‘as the priceless us. voice, whose battle and self-government assured legacy of successive ages to come after The advice is openly given in recognized orga and in Philadelphia the subject became so grave in its relation to popular sentiment that the Cit Committee, made up almost wholly af oftice hold- ers and dependents, formally resolved that office holders must go to to rear until the storm has sub- sided, The same policy gave us the St. Domingo job and the St. Domingo disgrace, and with them came a measure of executive usurpation that no monarch of Europe could have practiced with im- punity. The whole treaty and war making power of the government was usurped when there was no excuse to offer for it other than that secrecy was essential to successful jobbery. If this is not the truthful explanation, then never were igndr- ance and despotism more wilful and wanton in trifing with sacred rights. The inde- pendent press protested, the people revolted, a few of the purest and ablest Senators maintained the laws at the cost of personal h miliation in the Senate, and the wrong was de- feated, But the military and Senatorial “rings" are only waiting for a new lease of power to re- new the effort with increased desperation. Hap- pily, it is safe now to Congratulate the country that no extension of authority will ever be given by the people to the present administration, and if St. Domingo is ever to be annexed it must be done bj lawful and honorable means, It was frankly ad- mitted in debate that, without arbitrary powers to defy the people, the Southern States would reject the consuming yeaa who rule them under the protection of the military, and restore some mea- gure of fitness, honesty and economy in their governments. The appeal was boldly made to the Republican Congress, but the people, through the Fv gros branch of power, dismayed and confused the conspirators against the laws by solemnly cailing a “halt! along the whole line, ‘The last great battle of our civil law is about to be fought. The armies are being marshaled for the decisive sti There will marching and counter-marching in forming the lines; there will be fora time some confusion in the counsels of commanders; there will be banners bearing strange devices to embarrass the lid of men who cherish @ common faith; there will be perfidy here and there to play Its part in oe he mandates of arrogant power. But in the fulness of time there will two great, organized, disciplined and earn- est parties contending for supremacy. Outside of them there will be the political antediluvians, the Swiss, rovers hovering around both camps, and it may be a small appendage of power, employed to prostitute a party name, to advance the interests of that party’s most malignant foes, In the cir- cles of political progress we are now and then brought shouider to shoulder in the ardent mainte- nance of our free institutions, after the most des- | Presic perate conficts for our convictions, Wise men and patriotic men do ni shen rage over what each has said or done in the 1 struggles of the past; but they accept the duties of the present and faithfatly form them, ‘The pronounced federalist of other days was the democratic President of 1856, and the Buchanan voter of 1356 was the republican President of 1468, The demoeratic Senator of 1s! was the republican Vice President of 1860; th mocratic Senator of 1560 was the republican Vice nt of 1864, and the republican general and statesmen of 1864 was the democratic candidate for Vice President of 1868, Although less startling, be- cause less violent, the civil usurper is often more dangerous to public liberty than the warrior who unfurls his banners and chalienges to battle in the open field, Especially is this so when @ nation | just borne all the exactions and despotic gove ment usually incident to protracted war. It in- vites rulers to the exereixe of extreme and ex- ceptional powers and blunts the sensibilities of the people to a measure of toleran hat makes them slow to resent usurpations which, in the healthy and sensitive public opinion of peace, would quicken pular reprobation and effect the speedy over- hvow of the faithless ruler. War is destruction, It destroys and only destroys. It sweeps away the obstinate barriers of progress, but leaves nothing | but desolation, Its laws of might and surging cur- | Tents of despotism remain even in the most civiliz countries, When its tempests are stitled, its cam- paigns closed, its dead gathered to their mother dust, its vanquished subinissive and its flags farled, war itself has to be conquered by the armies of peace. Peace must mould the victories of the sword by its wise and beneficent direction, and sow and ‘vater and reap the harvest of enlight- ened advancement. In its great work ils greatest foe is usually the spirit of usurpation, created by war, which only too often endangers the stability of government and the happiness of the people more profoundly than its grim-visaged anthor, The history of nations is replete with the gravest admouitions on this subject, and when such dan- gers threaten a free government every dictate of | patriotism calls citizens of every faith to maintain their liberties, regardless of political associations. ‘This grave duty has been imposed upon the Ameri- can people. A soldier, with strong and most freely accorded claiins upon national gratitude, has been called from the fleld to the first civil office of the government. The people judged him gener- ously and were slow to complain. him, the chieftain of the battle fleld, under the banner of peace. They had dissevered States to be reunited, the deinon of discord and the passions of war to conquer and countless battle scars to heal, Ilis election was no whirlwind of popular caprice or national desire for change, The policy that pre- vailed in the selection of Cabinet ministers has scattered like fruits all over. Incompetency, venal- ity and shame have been the logical results of un- biushing nepotism and the appointment of unscru- pulous men who had found the way to the favor of the throne, New Orleans was plunged into anarchy to gratify an adventurous relative of the President, who, although convicted of official mi nduct by testimony elicited by a friendly committee, is still in: office; and New York has been, and still is a seething caldron of Custom House corruption, The Collectorship and a seaside cottage are exchanged and the young geniry of the military “King” come like the vultures for their prey. ‘There was not even the ordin: retext of political partiality or pre: judice to justify the insult to the people of Philadel- phia, The municipal and State authorities were of different political faith, and could not have con- spired to tolerate disorder in the interest of any politica: party. It was merely an exhibition of the Insolence of power, and intended to be the fore- runner of the military election of 1872, In New York the experiment was also made. The spectacle was Presented of the first city of the Union holding a general election under the gleam of bayonets when the public peace was not endangered, unless by the arrogance of military commanders.’ The pretext was the assumption that the party in power meant to commit frauds. The Colonel then proceeded at length to denounce the policy toward the South. Mr. Joseru H. Stewart was the next speaker. At this time the audience had very considerably cleared out, This was the last speech of the evening, and it was some time after midnight that the great ratification. meeting for Greeley and Brown came to a close, THE MEETING OUTSIDE. a The scene outside the ouilding was an exceedingly brilliant and exciting one, There were four stands, tastefully decorated with bunting and flags, one in the middle of Astor place, just oi Fourth avenue, the second immed facing the Institute en- trance, the third near Thi nue, to the east of the second, and the fourth at the junction of Stuy- vesant street and Thirdavenue, Long before the hour fixed for the “opening of the ball” by the speakers there was an immense and intensely en- thuslastic crowd on hand, who amused themselves while waiting for the orators of the evening by cheering for Greeley and groaning for Grant and the “military ring’? 4 Each stand was gayly bedecked with Chinese lan- terns strung artistically from each upright of the platform. In fact, the Square was lit up from one end to the other with innumerable lanterns pend- ent from lines attached to every stand and thrown across the street to the pillars of the Institute. Several calcium lights, placed in position In the near- by cross streets so as’ to flood the square with a light that made the surging crowds appear tenfold reater in number than they really were, added immensely to the general brilliancy of the scene. Two bands of music were stationed, one on the portico of the Institute and the other on the Astor place stand, and did their musical ut- most at intervals duting the evening to keep the assembled patriots in good humor, As the evening wore on and the hour drew nigh for the beginning of the speech-making the crowds had grown to extraordinary portions, and when at eight o'clock the first roc was fired locomotion from one side of the square to the other became a matter of absolute impossibility, The high stoop of the Union facing the main stand was literally black with spectators, who re- mained patiently packed as close as safety to life allowed until the ciose of the meeting. When the fireworks bred § was begun the crowds must have numbered fully ten thousand persons. Indeed, the fireworks seemed to have a wonderful effect upon the cross streets, which poured forth its hundreds to swell the grand throng every minute after the display began, ‘There was a profusion of fireworks of all ki Rockets were shot off ince: evening; explosive bombs madé the air resound with echoes that even the cheers of the enthusias- tic gathering could not drown, Near the close of the meeting the chief piece of fireworks was sect off amid a general hurrah. It consisted of a tableau (so called), with portraits of Horace Greeley and B. Gan Brown, with the motto, “The People’s Choice.’ here was no great shouting on the part of any regular clubs. The only “organization” that ap- peared in a body was the Greeley Club of the Sec- ond Assembly district, who were adorned with white rubber hats and cloaks and he by a band, and the Fourth ward General M.'T. McMahon Club. ‘The stand immediately facing the main entrance of the Institute was generaily looked upon as the “Trish stand,” as all the speakers were Irish and the crowd that surrounded tt was nearly all Irish, and, perhaps not wonderful to re- late, by long odds the most enthusiastic portion ‘of the entire gathering in the square, ‘The Astor place stand was taken possession of by a set of gentlemen who, during thei speeches, plumed themselves with the fact th they were, cne and ail, old line republicans, what- ever that may mean; and it ts probably more for this reason than any otter that the Second Assembly District Greeley Club men, nearly all democrats, hung platform as soon as they arrrived on the ground, The stand to the east of the Irish stand had been reserved for the German element and the German speakers, but somehow it was not well patron- ized, elther because the speakers selected out of the many for the occasion were of an inferior quality or that the neighboring lager beer saloons had greater attractions for those of the crowd who understood German than the oratorizing of the men on the platform, ‘There was but a meagre attendance of hearers at the stana near Stuyvesant street, although several good speeches were delivered in the vicinity during the entire evening Congressman Koprnson presided at the Irish stand. He spoke but a few minutes, and alluded to Mr. Greeley a8 & man whom the Irish ought to support. The said he knew him intimately, and had in in his possession a collection of letters from the Philosopher full of wisdom, and which, were they only once published, would open the eyes of the people to the fact that they had — man for a candidate than they even Buspected, Mr. SrerneN J. MANY was then introduced, He spoke as an Irishman who had sutfered for his love for Ireland, and taking this announced fact as his text he launched into a fearful tirade against the administration. He was particularly severe upon Grant for the way he has knuckled down to the British government, and then went on to show how Horace Greeley had ever been tne stanch friend of Ireland; how in the hours of her sore distress he was always found foremost amon; the men who advocated her cause, an who did everything that his voice and pen and purse could do to deliver Irishmen from thraidom. He claimed that no Irishman should ever think of opposing Mr. Greeley. It was non- sense to talk about his having once upon a time de- nounced democrats and the principles of the demo- cratic party during the war. ‘The issues of the present were not the issues of the years of the wal and as matters now stood the honest democr: a Ad honest republicans stood on the same ground, Mr, Meany was followed by THOMAS FRANCIS Burke, who spoke for over an hour, He reviewed the acts of the administration and denounced it In bitter terms. | He thie @ fore! cy of the govel . Clared that no [riamihan who really loved his native country, could vote honorably for Grant. Mr. Burke became exceedingly prosy in the Marni was followed by Mr. Duggan and soveral others, who advocated the endorsement of Mr. Greeley by the democracy in the most unmistakable terms, Chauncy Shafer, Mr. Lancing, Horace Melville and others spoke at the Astor plage stand, and Colonel Willis and others at the StuyVesant stand. The meeting broke up about ten o'clock very quietly and with no demonstration of enthusiasm, a ‘They chose | ir banner on the front. or the | 3 PROSPECT. PARK PAIR GROUNDS. Winding Up of the Spring Trotting Meeting. Pleasant Weather and Fine Attenclance. ele SM AE Tape Sti George the Winner of the 9:39 Purse and Char- ley Green the 2:27 Contest. The spring trotting meeting at the Prospect Par Fair Grounds dissolved last evening in a gusto of glory. A pleasant day greeted the thousands of visitors, and heartily did every one present enjoy the scene. Never did the track look more beautl- ful. Around on every hand the oak and maple, with their luxuriant foliage, and the closely ent grass and garden flowers presented a rural picture of great beauty, The Trotting. ‘The track was in fine condition and the weather, very favorable for the sport.
