OF HANCOCK and ADAMS, the lhhu VI 'ne
school house and church. OF civilization ana
progress, shall now resume their long ios' III
ilGence in the councils Of the nation. -,
The descendants ofthe men. who in the olden
time barred their f0reheads TO the God OF ba,tes,
and sealed their faith with blood; have declartu
again for "ISDEpESpENcE, NOW AND FOREVER.
Let us then, Fellow Citizens, while not IN.
mindful of the past, close up our ranks, ana
with undated zeal press forward, never Tor
moment doubling the ultimate triumph oil cor
rect principles, and the coming oil that day
when the rights Of labor shall be respected,
the love Of Justice preyade all hearts, and lber-
~ become the universal birth-right oiahciasses
and conditions otmen.
AT the conclusion Of his speech Mr.. Knowl.
ton was loudly cheerei by the Wide Awakes.
On call Of Capt. Chadbourne OF the Saeo Wide
Awakes three cheers were given for young
America" Capt. Hamilton then remarked
That there was baby in the house about four
weeks old, which Mr.. X. had, with the consent
of its parents named LINCOLN HAaLIS HURD,
and called for three cheers tor "the baby"
1t is needless to say they were given with q
will.
Taking up again the line Of march, the pro-
eession passed on, cheering rs they passed the
persons whose dwellings were Illuminated, aud
those who were active with pyrotechnic dis
plays on the route.
Our limits will not permit detailed descrip-
ton Of the dwellings illuminated, or to speak
Of the taste evinced in getting up the illumina-
tons. On some Of the streets il seemed almost
general. and many OF the dwellings on the cor
ners were one blaze OF light. We give the
names Of the persons illuminating, saying that
II we have omitted any, rs is probable, 1t is ow-
ing TO our inability to ascertain the names OF
all who Joined in the good work, and who by
their contributions Of light aided in the gener-
al joy.

The Wido-Awakes halted in front of the
residence of the Hon. LEONARD ANDREWS in
Mount Vernon Street, where large numbers
of citizens had congregatcd in expectation
of hearing speech. Capt. Hamilton then
introduced, our Senator elect, who spoke as
follows:
Wide Apakcs and Republicans;
| congratulate you upon the result Of the
contest which we this night celebrate, which
has resulted, 50 far rs the people are con-
cerned, in the election Of Abraham Lincoln
and Hannibal lIamlin to the Offices Of Pres
ideut and Yice-Prcsidcnt of the United
States. But this rejoicing is not for the
mcre elevation OF those men rs such but
for the triumph of those principles which
form the basis of our Organization as par.
~. the making them the representatives OF
which, /. acting us your exponent and dele
cate at Chicago, bore an humble part. We
are confident that, in Abraham Lincoln, we
shall have a President who will administer
the government according to the require
ments of the constitution, and in accord
ance with the doctrines Of the fathers; care
ful that each state is protected in its constl-
tutional rights, and as careful that each
state is equally loyal to the Constitution.
We rejoice tonight that the great princi-
pies embodied in the platform OF the Repub-
iican party have been Endorsed by the people.
Those principles are us old as the govern
mcnt and were intended To establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, and secure the
blessingof liberty
Ii ,rGs the the doctrine that all men were
created free and equal, and were endowed
with CERTAIN inalenablc rights, among when
were life, liberty, and the pursuit OF happi-
ness.
II ,cas the doctrine that the government
should afford protection to American indus.
try-to the mechanic, manufacturer, and
artixan. The so-callcd Democratic party has
refused TO support any OF these interests.
Fr,edom and free labour have appealed to
that party, but in vain. Domestic peace
aud harmony have been exchanged by that
Marty for sectional discord. The sacred laud-
marks of the Constitution have been obliter.
atcd, and the whole power Of the general
government has been used to extend slavery
over free territory.
U,told millions ofslumbcring wealth have
laid buried in the mountains. Unemployed
and unprotected labour has appealed to that
party for protection, but in vain and be-
cause we have defeated such a party and pur-
pose to restore the old doctrines, some OF our
Southern brethren propose to secede IRON
the Union. Ayoicc: scarborough doesn !
intend to secede. am happy to SEQ by
the banner of the Scarboro Wide Awakes
that they will not seccde, and better yet.
that they do not believe the 'Scarboro Bible,
which, being interpreted means the Fast
