Nkfs A.AnuOIp at CINCINNATI
We COPY from the Chicago Tribune, of yes
terday, full report of Mr.. Lipcoln's remarks
at Cincinnati, in response to the address of the
Mayor:
Mr.. Mayor, Ladies aad Genfemsn:--Twenty
four hours ago, at the Capitol of Indiana /
| said to myself, II have never seen so many'
people assembled together in winter weather
am no longer able to say that: But It ia
what might reasonably be expected that this
great city of Cincinnati would thus acquit her
self on such an occasion. My friends am en-
tirely overwhelmed by the magnifcence of the
reception which has been given, l will not say
to me, but to the President elect OF the United
States OF America (Cheers) Most heartily
do thank you for it. l am reminded BY the
| address of your worthy Mayor that this recep-
ton is not given by any one political party!
and even if had not been so reminded by his
Honor, l could not have failed to know the
fact by the extent of the multitude see be~
fore me. This is as it should be. 1t is a. it
should have been if Senator Douglas
had been elected. 1t is as it should have been
had Mr.. Breckenridge been chosen. As it
should ever be where any citizen Of the United
States is constitutonaly elected President of
the United States (Cheers.) Allow me to
say that l think what has occurred here to-
day could not have occurred in any other
country on the face of the globe, without the
influence of the free institutions of the land.
| hope that although we have some threatening
national difficulties now that while these free
institutions shall continue to be the enjoyment
OF millions ofths free people OF these United
States, we will see repeated every four years
what we now witness. (Cheers.) In a few
short years / and every other living man who
is now living, viii pass away. l hope that
our national difficulties viii also pass away. 1
hope that we shall see in the streets of Cincin-
nati-good old Cincinnati-for centuries to
come, once every four years her people give
reception to the constiturionally elected Presi-
dent OF the whole United States. hope you
will all join in that reception, and invite your
neighbors to participate in it. We will vel
come them in the streets CT every city in the
Union no matter where they are from-eyen
from the far South-we shall extend them a
cordial greeting and good will our present. diff

spoken but once before this in Cincinnati.
That was year previous to the late Presiden-
tial election On that OCCASION with play full

much of what said to the Kentucklans I
gave my opinion that We, as Republicans, would
ultimately beat them, as Democrats, blu: that
they could postpone that result longer by ating
nominMr. Douglas, than in any other way They
did not in any true sense of the word nominate
Douglas, and the result has come certainly as
soon as expected. also told them how ex-
pected they would be treated after they had
been beaten l now will call, or recall their
attention to what then said upon that sub
