with as little or nearly the same labor

HoiaA According TO my political education
a1inelined to believe that the people in various
- sections Of the country, should have their own
views carried out through their Representative
oRfn Congress and If the consid ration Of the
," tariff bill should be postponed until the next
session of the National Legislature, sub
'a feet should engage your representatives more
closely than that Of tariff
saaa And if I have any recommendation to
make, it viii be that every man who Is called
upon to serve that people in a representative
capacity, should study this whole subject
thoroughly, as intend to myself looking to
all the varied interests of common coun-
try SO that when the time for action arrives,
adequate protection can be extended to the
coal and iron Of Pennsylvania the corn Of
Illinois, and the rcapers of Chicago.
Permit me to express the hope that this
Important subject may receive such consider
alton at the hands of your representatives,
That the iHtercst of no part of the country
may be overlooked but that all sections may
have in common, the benefits of u just and
equitable tariff (Applause.

SPEECH AT NEW Yonk
Mr. Mayor--Tt is with feelings of deep
gratitude that make my acknowledgement
for the reception which has been extended to
me in this great commercial city of New York.
can but remember that such reception is
rendered by people who do not do it by
political feeling. 1t is more grateful on this
account; because it is an evidence that iii
support Of the great principles that underlie
our government, the people are nearly or quite
unanimous i'll regard to the difficulties which
encompass us at this time, and of which your
Honor has thought fit to speak so becom:asly
and so justly and only say that agree
with the sentiment eXptcss.d by you. As to
my devotion to the Union, hope | am not
behind any within the Union /; but in
wisdom necessary to so conduct affairs to
secure the preservation Of the Union, l fear
that may be deficient aud that too great con
fdence may have been rcposcd in me.
am sure, however, at least bring heart
devoted to the Union. There is nothing
which could ever bring me to consent to the
destruction of this Union under which not only

it should be the loss of that for which the
Union itself was made. As L understand it,
the ship is made for the carriage and prescrva-
tion of the cargo, and so long the ship can
be saved with the cargo, it should never be
abandoned, we should never cease in our eff ,rts
to save it so long it can be done without
throwing overheard the passengers and cargo.
So long as the prosperity and liberty Of this
people can be preserved in the Union, it will
be my purpose and shall b. my effort at al
times, to preserve the Onion. And now Mr..
Mayor, again Thanking YOU for the reception
that has been given me- allow me to close my
remarks.
REMARKS TO TIE LEGISLATURES OF THE STATE OF
HEw-YoK.
sMr President, and Gentlemen of the Iag-
islature of the State of New York: It is with
feelings of great diflidcnce, and [ must say
with feelings of awe, perhaps greater than |
have recently experienced, that meet you
here in this place The hisary Of this great
State, the renown of those great men who
have stood here, all crowd around my fancy,
and incline me to shrink from any attempt to
address you; yet have confidence given me by
the generous manner in which yon have invit-
ed me- and by the still more generous manner
in which you have received me. to speak far
therrY GU have invited and received me with
out distinction of party. l cannot for mo-
ment suppose that this has been done in any
considerable degree with reference to my per
sonal services, but that it is done in so far as |
l am regarded at this time the representa- |
tive Of the majority of this great nation. 1
doubt not this is the truth and the whole truth
of the case and this is as it should be. 1t is
much more gratifying to me that this recep-
tion has been given to lie as representative
of a free people, than it could possibly be if
rendered me as an evidence of devotion to me
or to any one man personally; and now think |
1t we're more fitting that ] should close these
