SPEECH AT ALBANY.
GENTLEMEN: More than five months
have passed since my landing in New.York. The stir.
ring influence of novelty has long since subsidized and
the excitement of glowing emotion died away. The

cause has not lost 1t is standing higher than ever Il

of lasting conviction. The consistency OF the peoples

OF the mind takes often to-day for odd what yesterday

Yes, gentlemen. let those materlaiss with their
nights ssgaciiy LOOK TO those parting days of my pre-
sence in America and when they have seen what deci-
ded sympathy have met in New. nsland-thsi slori-
