SPEAKER COLFAX'S SPEECH•

Mr. Colfax thus spoke at Lafayette, Indiana :
To-day we feel proud that we have saved a nation
and emancipated a race, and to-day we follow our
great sandard bearer—the hero of the century--
U. S. Grant. Brave in battle, generous in victory,
reticent in speech, yet firm as the eternal granite in
principle, and upon whose banner these magic wordy
are inscribed : " Let us have peace." They arc four
words only, but a volume is contained in them. If
there is a country in the world that wants peace, it
is this American Republic. We have passed through
a severe struggle for national existence. No land ever
was required to make such sacrifices as ours. We had
to heap up golden and living treasure upon our coun-
try's altar ; the noblest and best went forth to prove
their devotion to the flag of our fathers. Nowt' la'
the language of our leader, let us have peace. "
want no more taxes, no more drafts, no more carnag'
and blood:she], and desolation. No ; no.
when we
reflect that this rebellion is only to be remembered in
broken hearts, numberless graves and enormous
debt, we can all say we want no more war, but wewant loyalty to be triumphant, and we want Peace
through justice, liberty, nationality, and security
to all. (Great applause.) Are we
going to have
them ? (" Yes ; when we elect Grant and
Col-
fax.") Yes ; there is one man who commanded
peace, who struck down and drove those who waged
war into the last ditch, and sent them home 35
paroled prisoners of war. When he becomes Pre
sident, wherever treason dares to raise its bead 113
will strike it down. Every anan who dares to raise
i
his hand against his fellow-man will be met
the stern power of the Government. Grant Iv"
ll
give protection to all, through the nation's strength'
This is what Grant intends to do, and what he
believes the duly of the Executive, as I know fr°sl
his own declarations. (Great applause.) When
you see, in the South, the newspapers, which ego
press public opinion, speak of Union men, wb
have lived there all their lives, as scalawags, 311,.
when they speak of the brave soldiers and others
from the North who have gone down there and
'
settled, as they had the right to do, and call thel3r
carpet-baggers ; and when you have seen their
threats, in the form of a wood-cut representing a gal-
lows on which to hang after next March those theY
call carpet-baggers and native scalawags; when you
see the attempt to put these States back again no°,o
the power and control of the rebels ; if you consent
it, then I say you are not worthy of the blood 04
the brave soldiers that died to destroy that pow'
and to enthrone loyalty in its stead. (A oil
" They will never get it.") No; never while God
reigns in heaven. He sustained us and our country
in the darkest hours. He never saved our flag that

it might be surrendered back into the hands of le

with this we shall have stability, progress, alla

immortal principles of the declaration of indepen-
