ESs Somebody has been quoting the
familiar line
"The post of honor is private station
as JefIersonian. A correspondent of the Philf-
deIphia Press says:
The lines in question are to he found in
the tragedy of " Cato,n Act ~, Scene A.
Cato has just learned the death Of his son
Marcus, at which he rejoices, for it occurred
when furnishing treason, moraliZes upon the
decadence of liberty at Rome, and complains
that every success is Caesar 5. lie makes up
his mind to die by his own hand, rather
than yield to the conqueror, and advises his
surviving son, Portius, to retire from the
turmoil of public life:
any SON, thou oft has seen
Thy sire engaged in n corrupted state,
Wrestling with vice and factionj now thou
seest me
Spent overpOwered, despairing Of success ::
Let me advise thee TO retreat betimes
TO thy paternal seat, the Sabine field,
Where the great Caesar tniled with his own
hands,
And all our frugal ancestors were blest
10 humble virtues, and rural life.
There live retired, pray for the peace of
Rome;
Content thyself 10 be securely good.
When vice prevails and impious men bear
sway,
The post of honor is the private station"

Mr.. McMichael then took the stand, re-
marking that the audience might think
him rather ''micklc," bu: it was not hard
for little man like him to speak to large
audience. He said some people thought
he looked like Douglas, but he thanked
Heaven that his principles were not like
his. His speech was exceedingly humor-
GUS, and was made up of remarks Sugges-,
ted by the banners of the passing process
sion. He asshred his audicnce}that Lin
coins election WAS placed beyondln ren-
sonNble doubt, and that Curtin wonld car
ry the State by 10000. AT this point he
proposed three cheers for Lincoln and
Curtin. They were of course givenwitha q
will. He said he could not see in the vast
crowd of working men before him single
Individual whom he thought, could be
made Il slave by his employer. as was as
serted in this city by the Hon. Herschel v.
Johnson. Four years, ago this same Mr.
Johnson said in Philadelplia that capital
should own labor, and when he was inter-
rogated last week, he replied with the
tnunt that Northern Workingmen were
driven to the polls by their masters, and
compelled to vote in accordance with their
political views. This burning Insult calls
| for vsngennce-A Vengeance which should
be administered through that potent en-
Fgine of freemen-the ballot box. He then
proceeded to speak of Mr.. Douglas politi-
cal course. Is not Mr.. Douglas a nice
man2 mo-, no, from the crowd. Well
then will take the question back, and
ask whether he is-not an impudent man?
| He then referred to Douglas'sreceht dePrc-
cation of the slavery citation, when it is

| agency that the compromise measures OF

From the Pittsburgh Gazette.i

From the Pittsburgh Gazette1
Yesterday morning opened very cheer
lcssly. cold, drizzling rain was falling,
and the prospect was everything but en-
couT"ging. But between nine and5 ten
o'clock the rain held up, and the country
delegations began to pour in in almost
endless streams, and it then became an
parent that the people of city and4country
were turning out en- masSs to the Convcn-i
ton. ~
And so it turned out Despite the, cold,
cloudy day, and the general nastincss of
the weather, the, display was the grandest
syyesF sysFE W%iittmessed here, ii not [ne
er seen snythlHhREy YtAgt saw the
great displays OF 1910 and 1856 both of
which were, in their time. unprecedented;
hut this display overtopped both. Mr..
Wade, of Ohio, who has attended many
enthusiastic popular gatherings, says it
exceeded all he ever before saw, and this.
was the general testimony of all the gem
tlcmen from abroad who were present. 1t
was not only alsuccess-it was a triumph
"a mOstm0gnifcent, as we'll us unpredGut-
ed display.
The scene on the ground was truly beau
| tiful. The whole of tho vast area of the
West Common, stretching from Seminary
Hill to the Outer depot, was literally alive
with people. The immense crowds around
the speaking stands did not seem to lessen
the magnitude Of the great mass, which
could not be reached by the human voice
FROM. the places appointed for speaking.
There were tens of thousands on the
ground who could not get near the speak
ers. ..- 5.,.. =..rr .s#s d
The weather undoubtedly kept many
away, and the unexamplCd course of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail-
road, in refusing to.ssue, excursion tickets,
doubtless kept thousands away. Yet it
was an unexampled gathering, the recol-
lection of which will never fade from the
memory Of those who witnessed it.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Corwip
and Wade, of Ohio, Campbell and Cald-
we'll, of Va, Armor, of Nd, and Curtin;
