And why Tbe people ot the fotato knew Chief Justice Shaw and President Walker; they did not doubt but that on some occa sions tbey might be a little wrong in their udgments, but they knew the men and honored and trusted them in spite of oratory or invective. I tell you, fellow citizens, there is a strengbt in character and public service that no dagger can pierce; it is a panoply: and I say to yon that as the people of this commonwealth knew Chief Jus shaw, the people ot this state know President Grant. Applause. And that all that need be said to Mr. Sumners' speech.

But there is more to be siid of our candidate for re-election to tbe Presidency, presume I am in part indebted for tbe honor of the invitation to come liere to the fact that for one year and part of another I the honor of being a participator in the councils of bis administration, and I desire testify, and I believe that what I say in Massachusetts will be accepted aa a fact, that during tho whole period iu which I was the Cabinet councils 1 never beard any measure of the administration discussed or considered, except with a single reference the publio interest. Applause. I never heard a personal suggestion in regard his influenoe on one man or another man, the consideration simjJy was what wuU tt best for the country. And wien remember simple, clear headed, practical, modest man sat at the head of the table ilure, and then hear him talked of by Mr. Sumner, think Mr, Sumner must be refctriug to somebody else.

Applause. It has been said that Gen. Grant has c-ceptei presents. Well, fellow citizens, I don't think making presents to men in publio life ought to be The Euglish nation in Parliament gave to the oouquerer of Waterloo a grant of twenty-five hundred thousand dollars, an estate in the country, and a palaoe in London. It.is not the custom of our people to give pecuniary rewards to publio benefactors, but when two men like Grant and Sherman have ron dercd such services to the country as no men this generation has done, who gave up all prospects to it, there were many of our best men in the country who thought that some testimonial, a publio record of their gratitude, would be becoming the citizens ef the Republic.

It was all done when tbey were not holaicg office, and, fellow citizens, I never expect, above the ranks of a peuny-E-liner contributor to a Democratic newspaper, to find a man iu the country mean enough to cast ii up tt them, Applause. do not propose to go over tne personal charges made against President Grant, and his tithing, mint and anise and cumin, isnot my taste, nor to your taste, I am sure. We look at the weightier matt era of the law. What has Gen Grant done? I do not say the commander and leader of our Armies, and the conqueror of our rebellion, but as Why, in the CDe-thing that Mr. Sum er.most feels and cares for on the great issues before the country, of peace and publio safety, and the protection of a la'eiy oppressed race.

Gen. Grant has been bis most steadfast ally; upon the question of maintaining tbe public credit, of paying the national debt, be baa faithfully represented the honesty of the Republican, party, or of the nation, for I won't eidude any party from it. lie has been ahead of his party in bis steady and constant reccmmendatiois to remove tne scheme ot an irredeemable cur-rebcy; every message of his has contained a recommendation to Congress for action on the subject, and his policy in Healing with the Indim tribes, his magnanimity towatd the South, his combining with a firm deter mination, to maintain tne lawa the desire to conciliate and restore to their natural and ust relations to tie Union the Southern! states, entitle him to your confidence and to the confidence, of all the people of tbe nation. But there is one thing on which I wish expressly to ay something. President Grant's appointments to office are criticized, and they say that he has appointed some rila-tions.

Well I suppose General Grant likes his friends and relations aa well as other people, and I rather guess if you should look over the Senate at Washington you would find that the members had some friends and relations too. General Grant is a friendly mai he likes his friends he is a good hus band and a good father, and, in his inexperience when he first cams lata office that cood qualities of the persons ha, knew may have unduly impressed him in some cases, I think very likely. But when you oome to matters of importance, does General Grant look after friends, or consult his persoual considerations? WJia did In appoint as our arbitrator at Geneva? Do you find lliat our eminent ftUow-cilizens, Mr. Adams, is ever mentioned in the newspapers as a very strong supporter and friend of General Grant Mr. Adams himself told me lie nener taw Grant until after his appointment In selecl-ing the counsel to rapreeont us there he chose Judge Curtis, Mr.

Caleb Cushing and Mr. Evarts, to be sure a firm and honored member of the purty, but in no way connected or related with General Grant or his administration. He hrd the duty of appointing more highjudioial officers at once throughout the country than have ever been appointed by any President, and he bas said to me that until the time came for making the appointments of ntw Circuit Judges, be would hear every man who had auything to say men in publio lite, private, citizens, the Judges of tho country, the law yers who might make their representations, and that when they bad all Oeen heard and the proper time came he would make the very best appointments for the places ia his power from the material from which he had to select. And, fellow-citizens, he did tbose men are now holding their high ju dicial offices throughout the country aud when the questions come up who shall superintend tbe excise, who shall collect your revenues, or who shall be pestmaater in this town or that, the question of the character of these men who are administering justice, and will be to you and your successors for the next twenty or thirty years, is considered, it will be telling upon the Bafety, the oroperty, the rights of this community. Gen.

Grant, in his inipor tant selections for office, has done all in his power tt justify tlue pinion entertained of him by those who placed him in office. lie louud some obstacles, and I find cue thing in Mr, Sumner's epcech to which I want to allude. He says that among the despotic intentions monilrsted by Gen. Grant waa the fact that at the beginning of his term of office ha asked Congress to repeal the tenure of-olH-ce act. This act was a war measure, got up to tie the hands of Andrew Johnson in his departure from the Republican party and his principles, and when it was thought necessary to save the country.

Now the greatest trouble President Grant has had. in my judgment, has been tbe inheritance from the Johnson admimstration, and tho greatest danger to the institutions of our country and the just destribution of the powers of the government is in his inheritance from the Johnson administration, and that is. that the Senate of tbe United Stages for about three years thought itself to be, and for a good deal of thj tim practically was, the entire government. It ia not in human nature to give up power. Then there ib another thing, detstanding among no parson is te is appointed to There is an all Senators be confirmed publio office un-that who with- out be has the approval of the Senators of appointed, who the State for wbich he 1 are of his political party.

And General Grant found that, under that trick and that custom, office and patronage were divided up and farmed out through the country. I do not wonder that he found two gentlemen such as I could imagine (not from tbe State of Massachusetts, for Henry Wilson never sanctioned the tiick, and Charles Sumner bad very little to do with offices,) two jobbing Senators, acting and struggling together to get an sppoictment each et them for an individual man, who was some tool of his own. I do not wonder, if General Grant was acquainted with some good hon est friend or relation, that he should, under the circumstances, endeavor to appoint him instead. At any rate, he was reduced to that alternative frequently.

The JiegMer gtves a brief account ot the convention meeting, compliments the addresses and poem, te Is of the boat race, ride on the lakes and In curriages, Jtc. Tho Platteville ITUness devotes a column and hair to tho week's dolugs. It says: Last week ourself and lady attended the Editorial Convention at Madison. We nr ived there Monday noon, and during our stay were the guests of Mr.

Ames, the County Treasurer of Dane county, who, with his excellent family, did everything to make our vie pass off pleasantly. The Convent'on was called in Madison the same week the Commencement exercises of the State University were to (ate place, so that tbe editor in all parts of the State might have an opportune to attend and Jadee ot the proSciency of the graduates. The impression made was very favorable, and there is now no doubt teat tbe University is in such hands as will brin it up to Its proper plac as the center ot our educational system. The Kaculty is composed of excellent men and women, mat of whom wo would like to speak of iudlv dually, bu' space will not permit. Suffice to say that President Twombly is a host within himself, and equal tor any emergency.

Favorable account is given of the University location, buildings and farm, and of Commencement exercises, with the names of the graduates; or the convention addresses, poem, the excurelon, 'one ol the most pleasant occasions ol the the President's levee and the Governor's reception; and the article closes aa follows: And now as we come to speak of lta beauties, its hospitalities, ita pnblic buildings, its charming sttuation between two lakes, we fear our pen will not do the subject justice. The trl crownln? feature of the city. stands on an eminence, and avenues radiate from it in every direction. The Park contains about 14 seres, aad is a magnificent retreat. The new Post Office jnst completed, cost the nation nearly $100 000, nd is one of the and most comp ete in th United States.

The Park Hotel is one of the best iu the Northwest, and it is conducted on the principle ol once a guest always a guest. Madison being situated between the lakes there is almost constantly a refreshing breeze.ren-denng it mueh sought tifter by ourlsis and pleasure seekers during the summer months. Her citt-rens duritg the Convention seemed to vie with each other in their cordiality. Hotels snd private houses were all thrown open to receive the visitors, aad everything possibly necessary to their comfort was done. 'I he people of Madism, by thet hospitality, have made a lasting iupression, and resolutions giving expression to tho ieelings or the fraternity, were adopted with a hearty and unanimous sve.

Thd Clark County Republican has a column, beside the poem, tells of tho Convention and poem, and says Considering that the" object of these meet lrgs is to promote the fellowship and good feeling that should exist amon tne members ot the press and particularly to enable tho fraternity to acquire a better and more thorough knowledge of the Slate and its institutions, we thought it peculiar appropriate, aud wer especially gratiued that the tnering should occur at the opportune time wt en the University of Wisconsin conducted its commencement exercise. Wa confess to an agr-exhla aurpria as to the efficiency and extent of this most loble and werthy -f our State institutions, mi on witnessing the exero-see and liaten- Inp tithe essayeofthe graduating classes, the commendable ratio ofMr. Colby, of tbe law class, was convincing etonu of Itself to show that no such clear thinking, powerlul mind could have emanated from any bat an institution or learning, justly entitled to rank among th first in ths land. The University ha been bantered abont for years, but successful'y battling the pow.rtn! storm of ridicule, it bas last, under Professor Twombly, an ab faculty and an efficient corps of teachers, risen up in grandeur, and won an enduring and gloriotit triumph at ita commencement exercises last week, beiore an audience representing the respectability, intelligence and progressive spirit of our ris'ng young commonwealin. A visit to the University buildings and a ride over its splendid itronuds, covered with rich foliage, arm borderlcg upon one of the delighllul lakes, was very much enjoyed.

Madison, at this seajon ol the year, I arrayed in the most georpens attire that nature can sflf rA. No in the Union can rival her for beauty, and none can rob iu.r of the distinction, "0.ueen ol Capitals 1" The local press association, warmly as-isied by the people of the city, welcomed their visitors with a hearty greeting, and extended their most liberal hospitaiiiies. Not a thing was left undone to contiibute to the pleasure aLd comfoit of all, and while we felt a pride for oor Capital city, the attention or its gonerom citizens wouia detract nothing from tho favorable impressions wa had formed. The yacht race rowicg match Mid, exenrsions upon the lake during Weduesday after- noon among the pleasant featnres of the ntertainmeat.

The Kipon Commonwealth says: Tho attendance was fully as large as usual, and in many respects the meeting was more interest ing and lully as important as -ny mat nas procea- edit. Besides giving the editors a short respite from the drudgbry ot printing ottice me, and getting better acquainted with each other, and they and their wives having a good time, it gave many an opportunity of spending a few days at our Sta'e capital, become acquainted and learn that the people there are not such terrible fellows after all, but only ordinary men. Tho Commencement exercises or the State University being blended with the Editorial Convention, had the effect to disabuse the maids of many in regard to that institution. We confess that we were one of tba number of editors that formerly regarded tbe University as more of a Madison high school than a noble State institntion, and have pitched into it somewhat roughly. But we take it all back now, and will hereafter insist that it receive the fostering care of the State, and wiU ever bid It God speed in its noble work.

The people of Madison did all and more than was expected of them on this occasion. The reception was cordial, the entertainment bountiful. Nothing that could contribute to the pleasure of the occasion waa omitted, and every editor left that city wih kind rest embrancea of its generous citizens, and a better feeling toward Madison as the great political center. They were convinced that the inhabitants, instead of being a community of robbers and adventurers who had congregated there and formed juntas, rings aud regencies for tho purpose ot plundering the State treasury, were a ahead, honorable and hospitable people. The convention was not of the "hnrrahboys" character of some previous years, but evey editor present bad ample opportunity to post himself of affairs at the State capital, become acqnaii ted wiih public office.

The editors that attended this convention will not soon forgot tbe kind people of Madison, Lodt and Bariboo. During our stay in Madison it vas our good for tune to purtake of the hospitality oi mat vetere- cf the Wisconsin press, Hon. David Atwood, of the tate In our varied experience ba lite ol abont 40 years, we are tree say that we have seldom if ever epent tb same length of time mora agreeably man we ma tnis sojourn with Hon. David Atwood and his nleasant and truly nub.e family.

VV can only wish earth's bounties and heaven schoiocBtb.essings to rest upon them, 'rr Mr. in tho Richland Independent, has a good article. In which he says: The session was held in connection with the Commencement exercises or the State University. The sesbions were ltrgelv attended, and tbe exer cisos throughout were Interesting and useful. Tho students acquitted tncmselves well, tbe oratiocs aud essiys of the gradaating class of 63 members were of a high order.

President Twombly and tho aculty are gentlemen ot talent and alia btlity, and have done much honor to the institu tion over which 'hey preside. The recent success and good management of the University bas pi ced it in a more favorable position beice tbe public, ami secured for it the good opinion, and iriendly co-operation of many of onr citizens, who have been for years indifferent to ita prosperity, regarding it more as a local convenience than as a Bt'to institution. 1 1 Tne good people of entitled to many thanks, ana nave a one themselves mucn nonor In tiieir kioQlv. soctsbre and bosplraoie manter in which tbey welcomed tae members of the Assoct anon, and that free and cordial association with their country friends. In this cood work might be seen conspicuously Mayor II 11, Gen.

Atwood, ex-liov. fc'alrchhd, G-vr. Wasbourn, Gen. Mills, and many others. The people of Madison know how to make visitors feel at Uame in their midst, and they succeeded admirably on this occasion.

That visit wil long be gratefully remembered by tue eaitors oi mis state. Ha tells of the ride to Baraboo, judging that tho expense of building this railroad for two miles would be more than to build lrora Richland Cen ter to Lone Rock; and of the reception by the people of Lodl and Baraboo, and pio nlc and speeches at Devil's Lake, and gives utterance to gome appropriate reflections suggested by the sublime scenery and the ancient mounds, where the happy company was gathered. Of Lodl and Baraboo he cays The pretty village of Lodi is in a fine section of country, where enterprise and capital uave Joined to make it pleasant aud inviting. Baraboo looks like an enterpriser place their mills, and manufactories of various kinds, not only evince the good Judgment, but the public spirit of its citizens, and with its present connection with the outside world, as well as Chicago, insures ita luture and continued prosperity. The Brodhead Ind rptndent eays the meetlrg this year was fraught with a large degree of interest and speaks cf its different features as fully appreciated, and says among other things: Tho University Commencement exercises gave evidence of the right sort of training to bring the miuds of young men and women to such a high degree of cult-re.

At cne time tbe University was looked npon with distrust; now, all within the borders of the Badger State may justly feel proud of it. It is governed by no se or creed, but controlled by tbe voice of the commonwealth; and all within our glorious State, whether white or black, male or female, rich or poor, have alike access to its halls of instruction. While the former management or this institution perhaps met with severe criticism by the State press, it now merits the approbation of both p'esa and people, and will receive it.

Fellow citizens: I have detained you too long. Mr. Greeley is a candidate for th Presidency as well as Gen. Grant.

I may say tbe only one, for I don't suppose Judge Davis cares if his candidacy is mentioned nowadays or not, aud, perhaps, Mr. Groes-beck will not care, too. But Mr. Greeley is candidate, and while we have ofteu heard of a party ia search of a candidate, this ia the first time, 1 believe, we have ever heard of a candidate search of a party. I do tot mean to say that I believe Mr.

Greeley is formidable, but at present the organization reminds me a good deal of tho Scotch chieftain In the ballad, who went out to war with two and twenty fighting men and seven and twenty pipers. Laughter. I mink me amount of piping is largely disproportioned to the fighting force. Bat, fellow citizens, we need no deceive ourselves. This contest is to be a serious one.

It is to be with the oli Democratic party. They may come and hold up with one hand the Cincinnati platform, every particle of which is taken from the Republican platform and the Republican party, and they may assume to held up and imitate Greeley, but it is that party which we have met oyer and over again, whose principles, whoso ideas, whose purposes we so well understand. If they have abandoned all their party principles, if they have to get a discontented Republican editor as their decoy duck, what ia the necessity of tbeir existence Why can't thev come over fair and square, be ridden of this sin, and take a candidate worilt having, I and be manly about it, as come ot the manliest of them I think will be doing before they get through. But the practical question which we have to 6tudy, simply comes to this: To whon. are you willing to im-trcst the carrying out of four years of Republican principles, the maintenance of Republican doctrines, the security of peace abroad, of safety at home, ot the publio credit, of the public faith, of the protection of tho colored race? To tbe Democratic party? No! Applause.

MORE GOOD WORDS. Editors on Md son, University, Lodl, Bart-boo, Devil's Lake, Ate Since our last issue we b.ve received enough more articles on the EJitoiitl Ccn vention, and Excursion and University Commencement, by th30 who attended, to fill several columns of tbe Journal, but in view of tbe pressure of other matter on our columns we are only able to make a briet summing up and extracts: The Stevens Point Journal occupies two eo'iumns and a half; Including the poem, introducing the account thai rly on the mornicg of the 18th we arrived.

In Company wtib au editorial ost of unusually quiet proclivities Including modesty, sobriety aud that virtue which always has iu reward, at our Capital CHy, and were soon most saff.ly ensconsed at most comfortable quarters, the Park Hotel. Madison silil sits on her seven hills discovered by Bayard Taylor so many year ago and certainly possesses the "throne ol beauty" If she does not "role the world." One hour's ride and a ramb'e confirmed our previous opinion that the present capital is located Jus, where It should be and where, we hope. It -will ever remain. Brlei account Is g'ven of the various" exeiclses and entertainments, and special praise awarded to the essays of the young ladies, "all first class productions, and well delivered by the fair graduates. As an eseay embodying practical thought and suggestions, us Dmsi's was pre-eminent and prodaciug an honest sense of admiration by all appreciating It." Of tha University, the Journal saya: In years gone by the University of our State has, through incompeteut management or lack ot financial means utterly Jailed ot -meeting the wants or expectations of the people a uiHy recently bus the standard been sufficiently raised to enab.e Wisconsin to feel a just pme in ber ehtet educational lnstltu'ion.

From our own ob-crv tioas and I ruin information we wire enabled to ob tain, we nave reason to believe ibat no institution of the kind in the west, Lot excepting Ann Arbor, Is in a more flourishing condition at present or Is mwreful meeting the wants and expectations of scholars. There are now in attendance at the Uni ver-ity upwards of 8(0 students instructed by a corps of teachers tried and found every way Worthy of their trust. Under the management ol tbe talented President, Twombly, a new lile has been lnlused in every department, the result ol systematic and well applied energy. Students are not hampered by specified tnles of conduct fbeing piaceu upon their sense of honor aud right as gt ntlernen aud ladies. We consider the fact as a niott certain indica ion of progress and reform.

One student wiih whom we have long been acquainted and whose experience at other schools enables him to speak advisedly, (ells ns that the University is making most rapidjstrkes upwards, both character aud uselulneee and thinks the. institution has do no superior In the west. Time and space forbids, at present, more exundod mention of the workings aud pccmiaruioaot' our (state University one word in relation to tne uuiio of the poop of the State. Money accomplirhes everything and money is what oir State University needs aud must tave to attain tbe excellence which we all desire tt shou A possess; let appropriations and expenditures In behalf of the University ba liberal and judicious and a few years at far thereat will allord the young students of tne (State lacllities for securing an education second to none Let the people leel aul express their sense of right In the matter, and their legislators will do their bidding In the substantial manner necessary. An account closes thus Tnrojgh tho kindness of Mayor Hill, of Madi son, aiidChaa.

Atwood, wo were enabled to call at the residence ol CoL Shiman, where a portion of tbe iorsuoon ws passed most pleasantly. Among the friends and acquaintances we had the pleasure o( meeting, ana to whom are indebted for courtesy are Dr. McDiil, Prof. Pickens, (4c. n.

Musk, Gov. Fairchild, Chas. Atwood, and Webster Brown and Henry Ureen of our own home. In company wttu a large delegation ol "quill drivers" we left Madison Wednesday noon for our respective homes, reluctantly leaving the pleasures of the excursion and receptions to be participated in by onr moro fortunate brethren, whoso time was not so limited. The Whitewater Register has a pleasant ao-count ot the experiences of the week, which' tbe editor says "will long remain one of the pleasant- est within our memory." We make a few brief extracts: We were one and all warmly welcomed, and during our entire stay were entertained with that unstinted hospitality for which the people cf the Capital are widely known as is the place itself lor its narivaiea oeauiy The exercises of the young ladies1 graduating class took place, and were quite generally attended by the people of Madison and by the visiturs from abroad, fire young ladles read essays, and without exception acquitted themselves well, for the most part, the eubjecis chosen were rather trite and of a metaphysical character, but in hanl-ling them the writers alt showed Vigorous and well trained thought.

Ho one denies in these times that the two sexes ihould have equal educational advantages, but we have never believed that the best results are obtained by educating young men -end women together jn the tamo institution; neither do we now believe that the system can be defended by argument, yet we must confess that it is hard to coniend against the logic of stch vary creuitaoie periormar.ces as luese or uesnay alter noon, and or toe loiiowmg aay, when the young meu occupies iub piauurui. Wednesday loreuoon was devoted to the Commencement exercises ol tho grad sating class, lie ing thirty in number, each speaker was necessarily limited to a Dnei space oi time, ana tae result was that the programme proved to be an unusually in teres' ing one, having (be merit of variety and bo ing tilled i with short, pithy Tnis lure Is the largest which bus yet ever lelt anv Colleire in the state, and in character and abil.ty won 1 tank tu the bust. There could be no more convincing proof of the high of our State University, and ol the great work It is doing and Is prepared to do for our young men, than was made appsrent by the gradua: log exercises of Tuesday and Wednesday oi last wet k. But the crowning day of Ibis well-filled week was Thursday, when tie members of the association, accompanied by the city otlicers, the faculty of thj University and the ftr-auating Cu, together with other tr ends, visited Biraboo and tbe romantic regions about Devil's Lake. Due year ago this trip could not have been taken, as the railroad which now stretches from Madison up to rod through tbe valley ot tho then pietetfonly a portion of the way.

But the great lire which b-rnt at the very heait or Chicago wmd failed auect its vitality, brout ht no puraly. non its other members, and this great arm has. been pushed out over tne prairies ana through tbe very bills, gathering tbe rich traffic of i he Intervening sections and reaching forward with a sure grasp for tho magnificent trade ci the ecu: dleis Norlhwest. At ei(jht o'clock our party was carefully dti-poaed in the five cars generously assigned it by the N. W.

K'y. and under the chorge of those two excellent railroad men, Supt. Bosrdsle and Conductor Law, set out upon their trip. The country northwest of Madison is among the finest in the State, and is in a hignly cultivated condition. A short hour and nineteen miles brought us to Lodi, where it had been arranged that we -hculd make a brief stop.

The people of the place nu ns at the platform, and made ns we eviae. We were escorted to a grove near oy where a stand bad been erecteu for the accommodation of speakers and it was kept warm duriDg our short stay by alternate orations. A barrel of excellent lemonade had beon provided snd was dealt out unstntedly to all comers. We should omit one of tho pleasantest occurrence of the hour were we not to mention the singing by the Sabbath School children, atur which Uiay distributed beaatUul boqueta among the visitors. As for onrse we met two army comrades, William and Robert Travis, both well known formerly in these parts, by whom we were escorted about the place, which we found to be a prosperous and stirring village and which has taken a new lease of IKe since the coming ol the railroad.

We round Baraboo to be a place about the sine ot Whitewater; as with us auufacturing largely engages (he attent'on of tho people, and they uleo hvo tho advantages of several excellent water-powers. The numerous churches, the Ulie school buildings and the hondsome business blocks amply testify that the fame of the place for high character and enterprise not without foundation. Koturniog to the lake our party scattered along its shadod banits and fonnd a delightful refuge from the heat of tho da in the cool breeze wbich blowiu across the water In a brief space of time our Barsboo friends served us up a repast at o.re substantial and luxurious and amply sufficient for tbe wants of a "thousand." They ic-foiuidd ns that a larjze portion of their citizens were cillod in oth'ir directions by meutines rf a purtllc character, and wo trembled as we thought ol our poai-tule fate had tho nutted energies ot this hospitable porple been directed upon ns. The following ay wo took our departure from Madison, most beautiful of cities and most worthy of its dignity as Capital of the State, and re-turned home. It seems slightly posaic to change a the grandeur and picturesque scenery connected with what Is known as Devil's Lake.

A thousand miles ride would well na ay any individual to visit this dellghtlul spot. Nothing we have ever seen on paper, representing tbe great xosemite, locks to us as glorious as th'a beautiful lake and ita connecting scenery. Several miles of the excellent railroad (C. N.

Speech ti the late Attorney Gen eral, Judge Hoar. The Words of ono who Knows Short, At a meeting of the Grant Club of Boston, June 22, Judge IIoab said Mr. Fhkstdent ahd Fkllow Citizens: Al low roe tt indulge in a reminiscence. It is sixteen year.) ago almost exactly to-night since I had the pleasure and honor of ad-dres-oag an audience of my fellow citizens in i Fsneuil Halt upon political issues. That night, when tu hall was crowued to ita utmost capacity, and throngs were pressing 'or admittance, but could not gr-t it, was called to ratify the nominations of the first uominees of the great Republican party.

Felljw citizaas, I owe to the Grant Club the honor oi being invited to address you this overling and tbe opportunity which this occacion afforus But for myself the only Grant olnb that I belong to is the Republican party of Massachusetts (applause), and the only ratification which tbe nomination of Gen. Grant requires is that ratification which will bA given at the polls next No-vember. (Applause.) I was younger con siderably when I addressed a meeting in Fanevil II all than I am now, and on that occasion, though our party in the State had been but a short time in existence. I ven tured to promise that Massachusetts would givo tho nominee of the National Republi can party a hundred thousand votes. Wo gave him onehundred and seven thousand.

do not promise now that I nave grown old er fellow citizens, out propose we give Gen. Grant that number, and a good many in addition. (Applause.) Massachusetts, as far as any indication bas been given, retains ner naeiny to the lie publican party and tbe He publican cause. We bavo upon the ticket our own fellow citiaen, Henry Wilsjn, a man who has built timself up under our own eyes to this na tional recognition, a man of clean hands and an honorable polity, a man of sympathetic heart, a man who has devoted youth and manhood to the service of tbe public, doing faithful and admirable service to the party who thus recognizes his title to well earned distinction. 1 might say, fellow citizens, that there was no interruption to the respect and confidence which the people of Massachusetts repose in Gen.

Grant, and yet I oan net forget, and I suppose none of you can forget, that there is one exception in the Senator frcm Massachusetts, who has recently, to tbe regret ot so many of his friends, poured oat upon the candidate of the Republican party a measure of in vective which could hardly be exceeded if it bad been addressed to the common enemy mankind. I mention the name of Charles Sumter, Hisses and applause. No, no no, fellow citizens, let co voice of hissing or of censure in faneuil Hall greet tbet honored name. No; be bas stood up before you the champion of fseedom, the honored son of Massachusetts load applause and has done noble' service. I have walked iiumbly by bis side from my youth up, since I first enlisted for that war, and I honor him still, and the honor feel for him adds point to the regret that in hi advanced age, upon inch a pertvnal issue, upon sitch considerations, he could have indulged in such a speech at such a time It is sad for Gen.

Grant; it is aad for the Republican partr; it is saddest of all for hint The Republican party of Massachusetts can address tbeir Senator in the lauguage of tbe Psalmist, "It is not aa open enerty that he to done me this dishonor, else I could hare borne it; but it was thou, my guide, my counselor, rny own familiar friend." I say it is saddest for him, because tbe choice is very soon to be presented to him whether he will stand by the Republicau party, Us organization, its principles, its standard-bearer, or whether ho will desert ia the face of the enemy. I know too well what that choice must be, from tho record of his life, to doubt that he will very soon realize the full eenee of the position in which he has placed himself. But while we have looked to Charles Sumner for au eloquent vindication of lofty principles, his judgment of men seems sometimes to be at fault. But that speech bas fallen as dead upon the people oi Massachusetts as if it had been a leading editorial of a Democratic newspaper. And nby is it so? Confidence is a plant of slow growth, we are told, but confidence once secured is not likely or easily to be disturbed.

Why, I remember, abont a dozen years ago, there was a dinner given to a chess player by the nttme of Morphy, at the Revere House, a hotel in thU city, where, as I in credibly informed, they sell wine contrary to the statute laws of the Com motwealth, and at that dinner Chief Justico Shaw a-d Dr Walker, tlie of Harvard College, were invited -to attend as guests, to eelebrato the great triumph of chess, and they went, and a short time aiter-ward that eloquent critor and amiable critio ot manatna, Mr. runups', c-ie out with a piece of invective in bis most trenchent and fi 'shed style upon thee two gentlemen, Chief Justice Shaw and President Walker with violating and setting at naught one of the most important laws of the Commonwealth. It was most elegantly dene, most ebly argued, and the astonished people of the (State read it and looked a little amused, and possibly, I sup some of them answered that they ought not to have gone; they rather thought they made a mistake. But the great Chief Justice went down to hia honored gravej tice is I had to in to to but tlie the who in I to as We call attention to this celebrated article OUR BAX.ES DOUBLE ANNUALLY. nVENTJT JPEIi CEXT IX OIL, BAYED IN MLTING.
