MIR. LNcoLN'S REPLY TO MAYOR BISHOP.
Mr. MAYOR AND LADIES' AND GESTLEMEF:-
Twenty-four hours ago at the Capital Of Itdiana,1
said to myself, II have never seen 20 many people
assembled together in winter weather" am no
longer able to Say that. But It is what might rea'
sonaby have been expected that this great city Of
Cincinnati would thus acquit herself on such an
occasion. Mytrieuds, am ahtlfely over ef"neia'ea
by the magn1hcenco oi the reception WHICH naa
been given, will not say to me- but to Inc ffes"
dent elect Of the Cnited States Of America
[Checrs.l Most heartily do I thank you
for it. am reminded by the address OF
your worthy Mayor, that this reception is
not given by any one political party and even it
he had not been SO reminded by his Honor, could
rot hare faicd to know the fact by the extent OF
| the multitude sec before me. This Is as 1t
should be. It is and should have been l.
Senator Douglas had been elected. 1t
Is 1t should have been If Mr. He'll had been eiee'
ted. It is as 1t should have been had Mr. Drcckln-
| ride been chosen. As it should ever be where
any citizen Of the United States IL contituional1y
elected President Of the United States. [chcers.l
Allow mo to say that I think what has
| occurred hero to-day could not have occurred
In any other country on the face OF tho globe,
without the influence OF the free institutions o'
our land. 1 hope that although we have aome
threatening national difficulties now, that while
these FREQ institutions shall continue to be the en-
jovuent Of millions Of the free people Of these U
s., we will see repeated every four years what VIE
| now witness. fCheers.l In q few short yeara
apd every other individual man who Is uow living
will PASS away. hope TINT on; nationa
difficulties will also pass away. I hope tha
we shall zee in the streets Of Cincinnati
good old Cfnclnnati-for centuries to come, ouc
every four years her people give such reception
Is this to the coustitutionaly elected President
the whole United ststes. hope you will nll jofl
in TINT reception, and invite your neiGhbofs t
participate in It. We Will welcome theu
in the streets Of every city IN In
Union; no matter where they arc 1tohs-
eyerfrom the far South-we shall extend them
cordial greeting and good will, our present diff
cultiea happily forgotten and scattered 10 til
| winds forever. [Great cheering.] have spoke
but once before this in Cincinnati. That was
year previous to the late Presidential election.
