they blerid away furiously in honour of Wawa
Inmost. This, in • quiet street, is • fashionable
quarter of the town, was also something sew foe an
Fogi shman. I was forcibly struck by the extreme
order and decorum by which this as well as most
of the other election meetings was characterised.
Coe party rarely if ever seems to make an effort to
carry disturbance into an assemblage of the other.
Is this immense audience one man only cried "No"
when the resolutions were being put, and he was
invited to come down to the platform and giro utter.
&see to his views, but declined.
I have said thus much about the meeting at the ,
Academy of Music, because it was one of the last and
greatest efforts of the rerubliean party. Saturday 1,
was generally devoted to the more silent work of ,
organisatioo. On Sunday Dr. Bellows, the Unitarian,
and thou Ward Beecher, delivered political sermons I
to crowned audiences—the one in the morning and
the other in the evening. The latter has earned for
Ins church amongst his opponents the title of the
" Church of the Holy Rifles," in allusion to his efforts
to raise subscriptions to purchase Sharp's rifles for the
emigrants to Knees. He has discarded the pulpit,
and preaches from • platform, provided simply with
a low desk; he stalks about on it tram end to end
while speaking. The building was crowded to sut
fixation, aisles asd *IL He memo to rely on none of
the professional aids to which our ministers in the
old world cling so dearly. We were horrified to see
him mount the platform with his greatcoat on, and
wearing a common black tie,and a shirt collar hanging
limp nod disordered about hie throat. His subject
was the connexion between liberty used re:igion, and
the discourse was of course made to bear upon the
" coming event." Christians were called upon to
protest by their voles against the extension of any
system which p ted • man's being as much of a
min uhe could possibly be in this world. The style
and delivery were more those which we are accus-
tomed to consider appropriate for a speech than
for a sermon. His tone and phraseology were
rather too energetic and secular for those who look
for nothing but doctrine from the clergy. Mr.
Beecher is essentially a " soldier priest," a man of
immense combativeness, but combativeness ordered
and disciplined by chivalry of the highest order. I
have seldom heard anything more powerful than the
terms in which he replied to the attacks of those who
find fault with his meddling with the affairs of the
world in his sermons. The audience were far from
preserving the sobriety aid solemnity of demeanour
by which congregations are generally characterised.
When anything good was said, there was as audible
home( admiration through the building, whispered
comments peeped about very freely, and no one
seemed to have any hesitation about smiling right and
left. The discourse, I should think, was likely to do
more for Fremont ;ban a dozen of stump speeches,
because it reached and affected people upon whom
newspaper articles and speeches do not mike the
slightest impression.
The republican party, it is agreed on all hands,
have lost the election partly from their political
virtue, their scrupulousness, their determination to
come out of the affair with clean hands. "They
needed," to less the expression of one of their number,
" a little lees early piety, end rather mere profane
swearing amosget them." Their opponent. bribed,
tor/opted, slandered, used every kite's dodge, clean
or dirty, without a sheds of Wetted's. Enter-
prising Irishmen, who, Moths beige & et berne,were
ready to sell their votes as asesse—and they constitute
no contemptible portico of the island body—were
turned away enipty-haedsd, as whit s mend re-
buke, by the Free-eceil agents while the Beetweeeites
welcomed sad petted them es the back. No weeder
