House. At night a large number OF cltl-.
zens, spontaneously assembled, waited on
him, and called for speech. Thongh IA
tigued BY travel, and not in as robust health
as usual, owing TO the hardships of camp
service, henesertheless respondedin his best
manner, and for some twenty minutes enter
tanned his audience with remarks which
elected the most enthusiastic approval and
applause.
s He thanked his fellov-cilizens for the
compliment implied in their call upon him.
We had Just passed through somewhat ex-
cited election. Tee people had taken their
own affairs into their own hands, and had
given majority for the Conservative cause
and for him, which Tor magnitude was ike
the deluge when compared with all snbse-
onent risiugs and oyerAowings Of the wa
tiers. There had been a feeble attempt To
create and array parties in the midst OF war,
but the people would have none OF Is, and
had So declared BY their votes. The street
corner politicians, and the politicians WIN
had mounted stnmps and pine logs and
i harangued the people and urged them 70 60
with them, had been quietly and lrmly told
thai they would do no such thng-ihat they
were determined to 10 their own voting even
in war times like the present; and, by their
verdict at the b9llot box, they had acted Tor
themselves, not for party, and had told these
politicians to take their seats Tor white, AZ
least, at the lower end Of the table.
