” GESARISM. Ratification Meeting at the Cooper Institute, Last Night. SPEECH OF GOVERNOR DIX. A Strong Denunciation of the Third Term. Centennial Dix Shoots Cesarism on the Spot, '& FORTY Y2ZARS OPPOSITION, The Denunciation Received With Enthusiastic Cheering. The First Republican Leader Manly Enough to Strike Cesarism in the Face. JUDGE PIERREPONT ON FINANCE. A General Review of the Admin- istration Policy. TILDEN’S RECORD CRITICISED. The republican ratifcation meeting was held tast might in the hall of the Cooper Institute, which was crowded by a respectable and influential au- €ience. At eight o’clock the meeting was called to order by Mr. Hennessy, who nominated Mr. ‘William Orton as chairman. This was carried by Scclamation, and the Chairman called upon Colonel! Joel B, Ehrhardt to read the following res- lutions, which were adopted :— THES RESOLUTIONS, Firet—That the mission of the republican party ts not ended, nar is either {ts duty or ite determination to com- | plete the great work intrusted to It diminished. Second—That the recent election to Congress of dem- gerane Representatives, upon the platform of infation, should ulate our bariy everywhere to renewed efforts to sustain the credit of the nation, to restore the . World's currency to common use among our people and to resist every approach to any form of repudiation. Third—That the immediate and presen’ opie of this State is whether the administration of upright nd distinguisnea chiet magistrate shall sustained; whether the democratic rule, that took 500,W00 trom the sacred trust of the sinking tund shall genplan an administration that has not only made xood deiiciency but increased the sinking tund from | ee oN More than $15,000,000; whether the impure tate will tarnish its glorious war record by refusing to re-elect one whose glowing words of patriotism before the war were omens of victory, and whose services during the war are gratelully apprecitied by the whole country.

S| at ‘tried men’s souls’? of a ei burdened with incurred through the profii- of a democratic ring, we see wil SPEECH OF EDWARDS PIERREPONT. YeLLow REPUBLICANS AND FELLOW CiTmENs—IC bar opponents could keep us talking about the baghear of General Grant's third term and thus prevent us from speaking of General Dix’s second term they would be gratified; but, at the risk of digpleasing our enemies, I propose to say some- thing about the second term of Governor Dix. For the last two years we have had General Dix as our Governor. Under his rule we are safe and sure of honest administration. The Tridune, of the 3d inst., very justly says “that General vix wasa popular man before he had been tried as Governor,” and that ‘as Governor of New York he has achieved more renown than any of his prede- cessors within the memory of this generation.” When be came into office he found that $6,500,000 of the sinking fund had been abstracted, and that only $1,000,000 remained, By careful management this deficit has been restored, and in two years the fund has been raised to upwards of $15,000,000, With amazing tndustry and unparalleled watch- fulness Governor Dit has read and mastered and vetoed more than two hundred bills improvidently passed, and thus prevented incalculable mischief and great frauds upon the people. Did New York ever have aGovernor more vigilant, more honest or more wise? Surely never! He is nominated gain; will you reject him’ will you vote “a want Of confidence 7” Do you think that we can afford to hazard new experiments just now? [Over three hundred words, and yet not one word about the third erm!) Mr. Tilden never held an execu- tive public office in nis life, and in the ex- periment “is some danger.” It is said that a few disaffected republicans urge in his favor that im 1843 he joined the {ree soil move- ment, and thus helped to deteat General Cass and elect General Taytor, and that in 1871 he joined the Committee of Seventy, attacked with effective violence the democratic King, helped us to olect fepublican members in democratic districts and ‘Was most active in sending some of the robbers {to exile, and Tweed to the dungeon, from which no release or let up can be expected if Tilden is elected. tage can be claimed for Mr. Tilden over General Dix on these grounds’ [Here Judge Pierrepont paused, but did not say a word about the third term.) But let us glance at the public record of the two men on other great questions, and see how the balance stands. The great event of modern times was the war for slavery—(Is not Me third term a great event also ?}—commenced fm April, 1861, and from that date we exam- ime the public record of all men who seek high office. In private life no man ts more rignt than Mr. Tilden. He is arich man, who as earned his riches and has stolen no part from the public treasury. Every man has a right, by honest gains in private pursuits, to get rich if he can, and it justly goes to his credit with his fellow men. BUT WHEN A MAN ACCKPTS A PUBLIC OFFICE AE ASSUMBS A SACRED TRUST, AND TH® SACRILEGE OF ITS BETRAYAL SHOULD 8 VISITED WITH THE @RVERDST CONDEMNATION. [The Judge did not visit with severest condemnation the men who would nave the third term.| The man who takes a public office should jeave all hope and every wish of gain behind and devote himset! to its high duties, hoping tor no rewsrd but a moderate salary, the ap- proval of ius own conscience and the sure applause of Bis generous countrymen. Men's characters are formed of the accretions of ong years, and the resultant ts not distarbed by personal attacks on the eve of election, which are alike unwise, unmanly and disgracetul, Mr. Til- den was a promiuent politician long before the first election-of President Lincoln, and his theo- ies upon public questions were well known, and hen the South made war and the North uprose ¢n masse to defend the government, General Dix wax the first to sign the call upon the people to meet in Union square, [Now, UY he had only deen the first to denounce the third term.) Every patriot heart seemed moved, [How much more & would have moned if the Judoe jad assailed the lity. Continue. to support the ‘Prealdentin making | Concede ail this—what possible advan- | rerw: YoRx ra term) Mr. Thaen wes Mmplored by 8 demo- Gratic friend of high character and of Senatorial dignity to the State to join in thatecall, MR, TIL- DEN REFUSED. His earnest democratic friend toid him that the time would come when that re- fasal would be remembered. General Dix presided at that great gathering, gave nis money and his me, girded on his sword and went down to the War and remained in the army until victory was secured, The war record of Governor Seymour was un- satistactory to Union men; yet such was the sym- pathy of Mr, Tilden with that record that in the first national convention of nia party after the. war, Mr. ‘Tilden, with much adroitness, managed to set aside the claims of Omer Justice Chase and secure the nomination of Mr, Seymour for the Premuency. Last month anotner Chief Justice, who seemed likely to be nominated, was also set aside by Mr. Tilden for @ candidate whose war re- cord Mr, Tilden preferred, Noone can doubt his great ability in managing political conventions; bat somehow his candidates do not succeed before the people, and the candidate woo bas now sup- planted Chief Justice Church will share the same fate as the one who supplanted Chief Justice Chase. In 1868 Grant, ior Presi- dent, and Griswold, for Governor, were run- ning against Seymour and Hoffman in this State. Mr. Tilden-was chairman of the Democratic Ovm- mites, and belore election day this secret circular ‘was issued :— PRIVATH AND STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Very truly pears SAMUEL J. TILDEN, Chairman. When the polls closed no republican doubted that Grant and Griswold had carried the State bj a large majority, but when the count was finishes Jo! Seymour and Hoffman were declared the win- ners, The fraud was publicly charged in the Even- ing Post, and on the 4tn of November, 1848, Mr. Tilden addressed @ note to that journal, in which My attention hasbeen called to an article in your jour- nal of last evening containing a circular to which m name is appended. 1 hasten to assure you that you will Not 10se your reputation as c! by assuming, on inter- nal evidence, as you have correctiy done, that no such Paper was ever written, signed, issued or’ authorized by ine, or with any participation dr knowledge on my part. Thave read it for the first ume in your columns; but I have no reason to believe that it had any such evil pur- pose as you suspect. Investigation under oath had, before a com- Mittee of Congress the following winter, proved that the circular was ‘sent to the chairman of every county democratic organization in the State,” and that in answer to that cirtuiar “more than two hundred telegrams came to Tammany Hall,” and that “by nalf-pasc eight on the evening of election about one- third of the State had been heard from,” while the returns of the city “were not ascer- tained until nearly one or two o/clock of the Dight alter the election,” and that, as Mr. Oakey Hall cestified, ‘‘at a meeting held at Tammany Hall, on Sunday before election, he advised the democratic canvassers “to read over the names of every elec-or on every ticket,” and he says ‘one of bis objects was to projong the count ag | far a8 possible.” (MORE ANCIENT HISTORY, BUT NOT A WORD ON THE MODERN 188UR OF THE THIRD TERM!!!). Mr. Hall, then Mayor of New York, Jurther testified, ‘This circular was pre- pared by me snd ordered to be printed b: me, and Mr. Tildeu’s name was signe to it, because it was usage to sign the name of the ohairi of the main committee.” * * * “Lo the beat of my knowledge and to my entire be- lief Mr. Tilden knew nothing about it.” The report of the Congressional Committee closes thus:—“Ia view of all the facts it 1s sate to estimate toat the total fraudulent and illegal votes cast in the State of New York at the election in Novemper, 1868, were not less and probably exceeded fllty thousand votes.” In October of the following ear Mr. Wreeley published his famous letterto r. Tilden, 10 which he says:— * * * . * * * Mr. Tilden, you cannot escape responsibilit; ith the guity Macbeth, yf if “Thou cau’st not say ” by say- Tdid it; never shake 7 The Judge dit not h wotation that pnd ‘and certainly have Ya hie maint clout Banguols | ghost and the third | term.|—for you were: ai st, | a passive accomplice in the nt last November. protest on your part, in circulars sowe Cast over the State, whereof t “make assurance doubly sure” ‘trated should not be overborne by @ rural districts.

Had the day been of Average leagta it would doubiless have been swelled ae . ¥ * * * Ithus present, without comment, this circular, the statement of Mr. Tilden, the testimony of Mayor Halli and the subsequent opinion of Mr. Greeley, who was afterward the Presidential can- didate of Mr. ‘I'liden’s party and received Mr. Tile den’s earnest support. atter the consummation of this wicked jraud the cuiefa in the couspiracy quarrelied about the spoils, aud Sheriff O’Brien and others revealed the astounding fact that Grant and Griswold bad car- ried the State by a great majority, out of which the honest voters hud been cheated by the new system of false count, Three years ago Mr. Til- den joined the Committee of Soventy and united witb repubiican and democratic rejormers, and was most earnest in his desire to convict Tweed of other irauds. For it all praise; for it he deserves our thanks, and I bear this cheermul and public testi- mony 'o the fidelity of Mr. Tilden in that prosecu- tion; but I cannot find that he ever gave a dollar out of his riches to aid in the war, or ever mado a speech to cocer the Union soldiers in their weari- ness and depression; nordo 1 find a living man who remembers Mr. ‘Niden as an earnest sup- porter of the Union cause, [MORE AND MORE REBEL HISTORY, BUT NO THIRD irene His election would be a reproach to the soldier, bring gladness to the rebel and sorrow to the patriot.

While you were suf- tering privations in Southern swamps, starved in loatusome prisons, or tossed, it may be, in fever-dreams of home and loved ones far away, & great convention assembled in Chicago— the war still raging, Mouruing in every house, sor- row tu every loyal heart, sustained by untaltering trust In @ righteous cause, yet needing encourage- ment and cheer in that dark hour—Mr. Tilden aided the special committee, of which he was a member, to write and report tnis treasonable reso- lution :— ‘This Convention does explicitly declare, the American peopie, that alter four years of tallure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretence of a military necessity or war power higher than the constitution, the constiiution it- selt has been Degen id inevery part, and public lib- erty and priyate right alike trodden down. the material prospeny of the country essentially impaired, justice, umanity, Uberty and the public wellare demand that iminediate efforts be made for # cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of all the States, or other peaceabie means, to the end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the federal Union of the States, The resoiution passed without a protest. (JunGR PIERREPONT HAD NOW BREN SPRAKING FOR A HALF HOUR, AND STILL NO WORD ABOUT THE THIRD TERM.) Did Mr. Tilden and the other intelligent leaders of that convention know the true condition of the contest? Right well they knew it.

Already democratic orators and demociatic conyenti West and South, have declared tneir intentions. In the great State of Indiana their Democratic Lonvennon lately adopted the following resolu jons:— 1. That we are in favor of the redemption of the five- twenty bonds in greenbacks, according to the law under which they were issued, We are tn tavor ot the repeal. of the law of March, 1819; which assumed to construe tho law so as to make mds payable exclusively in gold. , 3 are in favor of the repeal of the National Bank- ing onal , and the substitution o1 green! tor the Bank currency. ‘G eke fs: in ae And that prominent democrat and late member of Congress, Daniel W.

Mr. Voorhees further says This act of March, 1869, 18 not law. It has no legal binding force whatever. Tne people had a vested right under existing laws to pay these bonds in legal tender notes, the lawful money of the country, and no subse- quent legislation could divest them of the right.

When Tilden’s democrats can thus glory in their shame, prosirate themselves and shout pweans to the victors over their principles, nothing is want- ing but their power to bring ‘the abomination of desolatton”? upon this jand. The amended con- stitation of the United States provides that ‘the validity of the public debt incurred in suppressing the rebellion shall not be questioned. * * * But neither the United States nor any State shall as- sume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or reoellion, or auy claim for the loss or emancipation of any siave,”? In the Prest- dential contest of 1868 Mr. Pendleton aud other leading democrats claimed that the five-twenty bonds should be paid in greenbacks, which, as every- body knew, was @ plan to repudiate the public debt. Tais question entered largely into that can- vass, and its agitation greatly impaired the public credit. General Grant was eiccted by an overwhelming vote, and the frat act of the new Congress, fresh from the peo- le, which President Grant signed, was the act of arch 18, 1869, which expressly deciared that the bonds should be paid in coin, ‘This act was uni- versally regarded as settling the question forever. It was cheeriully acquiesced in by the whole coun- try, and the puolic credit was immédiately ad- vanced, Five hundred millions o1 the bonds have already been paid in coin and the rest are at par in gold, And now, five years and a hat after the Passage of that act, alter she settlement, the acquiescence and the action of the government under it, we hear these pruposals of repudiation openly advocated ana adopted in conventions as democratic creed. Mr. Voorhees tauntingly ex- claims, “The republican party now stands forth the acknowled; champions of @ di- minished currency, order to return to a system of specie payments, Let those who be- heve in such a@ plan of finance prove their sincerity by joining that ptt Mr. Voorhees is right. The republican party will certainly claim the cnampionship with which he taunts them, and agree with him that a who believe in their plan Oi finance should joim the republican party, And it now seems plain that those who believe in #0 honest sysiem of finance will nave no other party to go to, THIS QUESTION OF FINANCE, IN WHICH 15 INVOLVED THE QUESTIONS OF TARIFF AND TAXATION, 18 THE GREAT ISSUE (BUT NOT 43 GREAT AN IS8UR AS THR THIRD TERM), [t will shortly be defined.

Have no fear, fellow citizens, that the repubiican party will not take the lead and become a unit on this ques- tion, Have no iear of tne resuit. Our people jearn quickly. ‘They know that we have abundant har- vests, unparalleied activity, and vast resources ior prosperity, and yet somehow we are not prosper- ous, and they ask wny? They say to tne infla- ttomist, You toid us ‘that we wanted more cur- rency out West, and “tuat was the trouble.” You passed the Currency bill, givipg us tne right to more currency, and we now find that we bad already tou much, and that we are sending it back. You pointed us to tne prosperous times when the government was issuing paper during the war, and told us that we shouid have the same times over if the currency were increased. But now see that the conditions are wholly changed; that tren the government was a pur- chaser of every industrial product, and patd ior the same in new issues of payer, while now the government cannot be a purchaser to any consider- able extent, and can only pay in the taxes waich it bas first collected ‘from us; we don’t find that new issues or the right to new issues of paper money help us at all, but, on the contrary, toings are growing worse and worse. My coun- trymen, they will continue to grow worse aud worse until we return to sound principles and cease to insist that sham 1s reality and that faise promises are as good as trath. When this gov- ernment shail have returned to an honest pay- ment oF its obligations in tne recognized standard of the world, prosperity, sure and steadfast, will come, ) expenses, extravagance, will be less, With credit tuus restored we can gradually begin and steadily complete every untinisned rail- way and usdjul euterprise now suspended, Laoor will grow 1m demand, business will revive and the country start$ upun @ new career of advancement and grandeur, You that are engaged in uniin- iehea enterprises take note :—You wiil never com- piete them until we return to payments in cota. You wiil peel fall under our system of irredeemable payer. You may struggle and hope, but your struggies and hopes willend in faintness and desvaix, IT CHAFES ONE’S SPIRITS TO SEE BURLY OLD ENGLAND SIT PONDEROUS ON HKR ISLR, AND YEAR BY YEAR GROW BI.OATED ON THE PRODUCTS OF OUR TOIL, WHILE WE, HER DEBTORS AND HER SLAVES, HELP HER BY OUR FOLLY TO PERPSTUATE THE BONDAGE. It 18 now as- certained that the earnings and income of our country are many millions a year larger than those of Great Britain, and yet we pour our sur- plus mto ber lap, while she smiles, ana pats and louis the noisy demagogue who vapors avout the “pauper labor of Europe,’ ignorant that he is helping to reduce our own citizens to a greater pauperism. Of the splendid Atiantic steamers whicn daily leave our snores, how many does America own? Not one. Where has your com- merce gone? Where the many other industries which irreaeemable paper has banisued? Gone to specie ig countr es, Gone where many other ¢ industries will go if this vicious system is comtinued. Tne vice does not lie in the fact that we have a paper currency—not atali, A paver currency is convenient and necessary. I care pot how Iree the banking nor how abundant the currency ii the currency is redeemable. Are- deemabie currency can never be redundant, what- ever the amount; the vice consists in the false ecaise to redeem, which is never periormed. hen we have returned to specie payments people Will-be surprised to see how little coin is needed. A thousand millions of business will be done without tue handling of $50 im specie. To-day the great ‘gold payments” im the Custom House are made in paper; redeemable yellowbacks, instead of irredeemabie ‘the West- ephpecta that is al ern jarm:r is told by the misguided orator that the Kasvern bankers and rich merchants are in favor of specie payments; and he asks, “Why is this?” and tuen answers: ‘Because they are the creditor class ana you are the debtor class, and their interests are opposed to yours.” There can no greater mistake. The bankers of New York wno doa Western business owe their Western customers $20 to where $1 is due the irom the West. There is great misapprenen- sion about the relative number of debtors and creditors. Your hired servants and laborers are not your debtors but your creditors, The Anancial system which 18 good jor the merchant and the banker is good for every farmer in the land. The mer- chant expects to make by the sale of bis gooas; but he cannot make by sales to those who can- not pay. You can never get money !rom those who can get none tnemselves.

You can contrive No process of getting (rom others what others can- not get. Whatever plan of finance is best for the Kast is best for the West, and tnose who will not listen to reason must suffer by experience. Mr. Voorhees says, truly, that the “republican party are the champions of specie payments just where the veto of the President leit them;” he might huve added, and the great body of Une democratic party are the chainptons of irre- deemable indation. Politicians wiil do well to take notice that, since the war, party ties sit loosely, and that what the peuple want ts good government (THY DO Nor WANT & THIRD TERM)—a government which wili protect them in their earuings and not despoll them of their property, aud that they care little for party in comparison with equal justice and nonesi ad- ministration, When tne democratic t agig op- posed the war for the Union they ceased to be a Navional party; they have never since acquired any national ascendancy, and they never will. ‘Tuetr national existence is ended ; they are merely repeating the history of the oid iederal party. ‘The same delusion aliures them to local struggles and biinds them by occasional local success, But when they opposed the war they lost the con- fidence oi tue nation, and when they cast down all their principies in the tem- ple of high protection, original abolition and cold water, and went and hanged themselves on the Greeley tree, the throes of their suicide began and will end with their early dissolution. They represent no united ideas upon any national ques- tion. Restore the old democratic party to power. and where would go the public debt caused by the War, Which tuat party hated and opposed? How awiltiy would revive the old cry (by no means smothered) that the South ought to be paid by new issucs of greeabacks. How swiftly Ku Klux assassins and White League clans would unite to murder and to rob the helpless treedman (MuMBo JUMBO AGAIN, BUT NOY THR THIRD TERM, and to undo, so iar as they can, the settlements of the war? Where would go your banks, trust junds, savings institutions. raulroad securi- ties and insurance companics, and ho absolute would be the prostration of our cred& and the distrust and confasion in all our business? Utter madness surely will not seize upon the American people. There ts another question with which we republican party muat deal—the government of the South. No graver question baa ever been pre- sented to an prericen, statesman the grave question af the third term). A fertile coun- try, many times larger than the Empire of France, was exhausted by a colossal war; its whole in- dustrial polity was overthrown; prostrate and disorganized, she demands our protection, and we, Who justly deemed union #o necessary to our safety a8 to Warrant a desolating war, must 50 deal with our conquest as to make the costly prea- ervation a blessing and notacurse.

(The Judge here sat down weary with an eloquent speech twohich | discussed all the dead issues, and made scarcely an | allusion to the living issue of the third term.) ) SPEECH OF GENERAL DIX, General Dix said:—Fellow citizens—I have no words to express to you my thanks for your kind reception. I came here at the request of some of our political irtends, who communicated with me at a very late hour of the day. 1 am entirely un- Prepared to address you on the great issues in- Yolved in this controversy; indeed, with the exception of a brief response to the repub- Means at Albany, who called upon me to congratulate me on my renomination, I have made no political speeches during the campaign. I have always thought tt better that candidates for office should leave the canvass in the hands of their political friends, I do not the less apprectate your kindness, fellow citizens, and I feel it would bea very ungrate- ful return om my part for it if I were not to say @ few words on one or two Matters deeply concerning you as citizens of the State of New York about to exercise the elective franchise, and determine for good or evil the political complexion and fnan- ¢tal condition of the State for years to come. (Cheers.) First, let me tell you what we bave done in the way of financial retorm. Some two anda halt years ago, when our political oppo- nents went out of power, we found a deficiency of $6,500,400 in the treasury. WE HAVE MADE IT UP. (Cheers.) We found that they had purloined a large amount and applied to the current expenses of the government moneys belonging to the sink- ing fund, solemnly pledged by the constitution of the State to the payment of the State debt. In my message to the Legislature last January I stated the amount at eleven million of dol- lars to be replaced, We have restored it and the sinking fumds are now com- plete. In two and @ half years more, if We are continued in power. we shall pay off the bounty debt of the State, amounting to $21,000,000, and, fellow citizens, without any increase of taxa- tion—(cheers)—and when this dept is paid, as it certainly will be if we remain in power, YOU WILL BE RELIEVED UF $4,000,000 OF YOUR ANNUAL TAXES, (Cheers.) The general fund debt, amounting to about $4,000,000, is practically extinguished, for we have a sinking fund equal to the entire amount, When the bounty debt and the general jund debt are liquidated, as they soon will be, there will be nothing left but our canal debt, amounting now to between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000, In two years more it will | be reduced below $8,000,000, and this will constitute the entire indebtedness of this great State. (Cheers.) Now, Jellow citizens, I think no candid men will deny that those results are highly credit- able to the administration of our finances under a republican government, (Cheers.) I wilt not be lieve for a moment that when we are cor- recting those enormous abuses of our prede- cessors the people in this State will give into their hands their political power. (Cheefs.) Now, fellow citizens, one word in regard to our political condition, There is an aspeot under which the democratic movement in this and 5 a Ty held sacred by bis successors for more than threes, quarters of a century, and which has acquirea tn’ Practice a force almost as potential as if it had. been engrafted on the constitutional compact.

Washington and Jackson— (cheers) — who were rewarded by their country by the highest distinction in ts power to give, volun- tarily retired from office after having @ Second time received the highest mark of the confidence and gratitude of their countrymen. General Grant—(cheers)—has been rewarded for his great services to the country by thesame high distinction, and { do not doubt, fellow citizens, that when he deems the proper time has arrived he will express his desire to be relieved from the cares of office, and give, by his action, additional force to the example of his illustrious predeces- sors, (Great cheering.) At the close of General Dix's address the reso- lations were put to the meeting and unanimously adopted. Notice was given that a meeting to rat- ify the repubiican nominations, city and county, would be heid on Thursday evening next, The proceedings then terminated, and the assemblage dispersed in a most orderly manner. INTERNATIONAL WOMANS LEAGUE, A New Society for tne Amelioration of Woman Social Condftion—Inters esting port on the Woman's Rights Question in Russia. The International Woman’s League held a meet- ing last evening atthe residence of Mrs, E, Thomp- son, No. 10 East Tenth street, Mrs, E, Thompsom Presiding and Mrs, Gardner acting as seeretary.. This being one of the first pubiic meetings of the League the secretary read the constitution of the organization, in which the objects of the soctay were enumerated. These were entirely for tha amelioration of the condition of woman in social life, Mrs. Gardner, the Secretary, having charga of the interests and the organization of branches of the League in foreign countries, then read the following report in regard to the work as it progresses in Europe:— REPORT OF THE FOREIGN SECRETARY. T left New York the Sth of Feoruary of this year an went directly to st. Petersburg, at Which place 1 pro- Posed to commence my work, t called on Mrs, A. ‘nilosophoft, the wife of the Chiet Military Justice of Kusala, a lady of high standing in philanthrople enterprises. To my jon in the werk of organizing a branc! St. Petersburg as @ headquarters for Russia, sh sented to take upon herseli the re! ce Aincorpora’ upon the Minister of Foi ai Adairs, cordially promising to do even more Fequiaife, A meeting was called at her residence on the 6th of March. at which reseut the elite of the scientific and literary women of Russa, to consider the id probl ‘nd by whose ad- jems of the League, ¢ vice and aid thegrganization might be su veloped in that t country. any of these ies were already rested in she organizing of pabils courses of lectures on mathematics and naiural selences for the high education of women, or in estabhshing funds to provide worthy women with the necessary meang tor a University education at home or abroad. " Belora these women’s righty women 1 of, the | Society, ‘success man’s right women. in Russia men and women being equally deprived of umveraai suffrage in the Americatt sense, that question has no place in the woman move- ment 1t mainly consists ot a claim to her right to enjoy an equally high education with youag men in the univer. sities of the Smpire; hence the term woman’s rigut in the Russian sense. But in the local evections, such as for justices of the peace, marshals of nobility, &c., ballot is determined by the possession of property, and it very frequently occurs that @ woman nas ® vote when her husband is excluded; tor. the Russian Jaw, married as well ag single women entire contro! of their propery. My address was tened to with intense interest, and questions were pus to me by the ladies present concerning the condition of ‘wemen's work and position in America and the Parad pects of our League. Ail expressed their desire to co- Operate with us in the organization of a branch at St. Petersburg, and agent if permission ve granted by the government, to extend its operations io the other large cities of Kussia. in any event, they desired to be added to te list of corresponding mem- 1 many educations: denev- visited other States is to be viewed worthy of sert ous consideration by every citizen. Its tendency is, wherever it is successful, to place in the highest puolic trosts men who, if not in open opposition to the war when the government was struggling for the preser- vation of the Union, did nothing to sustain it, (Cheers.) This tendency was shown in the clec- tion of a United States Senator from Connecti- cut @ year ago. It has been shown in other States, and it is shown in this State to-day. I should be very sorry to be considered as actuated by any narrow spirit of prejudice or proscrip: tion: but when the question arises between those Who were giving their most earnest efforts ta Support the government during a long struggle which was carried on to save its national exist- ence, and those who did not raise a finger in its support, whose names are notto be fonnd re- corded in any friendly action in that crisis I must say it would be very disheartening if the latter were preferred to the former. And I submit to you, fellow citizens, whether the success of such a policy would be encouraging in future emergencies; whether it would rot be @ bitter reflection with those who have periiled their lives in the service of their country im time of war, and perhaps left @ mutilated limp on the battle fiela, if they were thrust aside by those who have crept from their hiding places when the day of peril hed gone by, and become their successful competitors for the confidence of their fellow citizens. (Cheers.) The success of the liberal democracy, as it styles itself, would bring into power a class of men who were either passive, or hostile, when the government most needed thetr assistance, I say, fellow citizens, that no intelligent man can doubt that the measures which have been adopted by Congress for the re- constraction and pacification of the Southern CANNOT SHUFFLE BITHER OF THRSE GREAT QUBS+ TIONS, AND WE DO NOT WISH TO [WHY SHUFVLE THE THIRD THRM f]. We know that their solution is necessary to the prosperity of the whole ¢% try, and we intend to lace them both, The di oes que aa to surround bon will vanish jor gent courage aud honest purpose. The way is straight and narrow and Toads to national lie, great prosperity and honor, The States would be imperiled by their success, nor can it be doubted that the colored race, who are every day becoming better qualified and expe- rienced for the high duties intrusted to it, would be by adverse legislation reduced to a position of inferiority scarcely less abject than the slavery from which the repub- lican party had redeemed it. And more, fellow citizens; there may be danger that the smoulaer- ing embers of civil strife may be kindled anew. A Vorcrk—HOW ABOUT THAT THIRD TERM, GENERAL? General Dix—I only came here to say a few words to you, and, with your permission, I will now take my leave of you. (Cheers and cries of “Third term !??) General Dix, who had walked across the plat- form asif about to retire from the meeting, re- turned and said:—I am asked, fellow citizens, my opinion as to the thirdterm. (Cheers.) Although Thave regarded the discussion of this question as | premature, I have not hesitated to give a direct answer to any question which has been per- sonally addressed to me. (Cheers.) I gave my opinion, when asked im this way, weeks ago, montis ago, I have not been willing to thrust myself forward in this can- vass with any deciaration of my views— (cheers) — but as the question is putto me J twill answer it | Jrankly, because I know very well that i’ I did not answer tt directly a misconstructton would be put upon my silence.

I gave him the prospectus of the League, together with a general transiation ot the same, and on return I received @ letter stating his will- ingness to pereonaliy co-operate with us and call the attention of this society and throughout France on at the end of April, where I obtained the promise of Miss Emily Faithtuil’ to organias the headquarters of the League in bngiand nt th tional and Industrial Bureau founded by her.
