Like "Sherridan, Sheridan, Cavalr,
Sheridan" George Francis Train came
dashing in on Saturday evening, the 22c
Instant in style that thrilled and amused
crowded mass Of people in Nationa
Hall. We make the following choice ex
tracts from his al capitanduns address
After few remarks upon his adventure.
In England, and his appearance at the
Chicago Convention as delegate, he thus
alluded to the present position of the or
ganization known as the Democratic par

My candidates were the Army and Navy
Cheers My platform was to drive the
French out of Mexico, and England of
the sea. (Cheers. said that my candi-
date was the man who had, at the COM
mencement of the war, telegraphed to
New Orleans, "If any man hauls down
the American flag, shoot him down. >
! (Cheers.) My Vice President was the
Navy [ want no better man than that
'Old Salamander" who chained himself
to the masthead as he went into Mobile
Bay. This, these Democrats said, we
won't do. Then it was that I saw treas
on. George B. Mcclellan is the mere
chattel of Sam Barlow, and Sam Barlow
is the mere chattel of August Belmont,
and Belmont is the agent of the Roths-
childs, who are the agents of the Confed-
crate Government in England. CHEERS J
They are going on sending money through
these agencies to try to carry the State of
Pennsylvania in November. (Cries, of
"They can't do itp') When 1 saw
this, [ thought it was time for me to
leave. They saw [ was not for McClel-
Ian, and then it was they said, "You
cant go with the Convention" l
knew that the rules of Congress governed
the Convention, and that delegate for a
territory could be admitted without the
privilege of speaking. But it was quite
nauseating to see the political maggots
moving about in that Convention -
[ Laughter. They didn't want a man
there with an audience of 10000 men
back of him. Long went in, and he found
there was no "frcedom of speech" in that
Convention. 1t was the rule of the New
York rowdies. [ said God bless Manhat-
tan. [ told them it was time to think of
the Union and the country and that you
couldn't do it upon that platform. [
found the Regency and the Rothschilds
ruled the entire destiny of that Conven-
ton. l know no more pitiful sight than
to see the Pennsylvania delegation cring-
ing before these New York men. When
New York took snuff all Pennsylvania
sneezed. Laughter) When New York
laid an egg all Pennsylvania cackled.
[ had one hundred delegates to go for
Dix. In the morning, Pendleton told me
that $50 help me God, l viii! do all I can
to beat Mcclellan and [ think he has.
(Laughter.) At ten o'clock they offered
him the Vice Presidency, and he went O.

fast table, and | said to him, "You have
sold out this concern, and if l can find it
out I'll burst the whole thing" Vallan-
digham said, "Train you talk too loud p
The next morning it was all closed out.
Under the idea of "pap," they supposed
there was nothing but what they could
carry. l saw their platform. 1t was the
most singular amalgamation of men and
things ever saw. Soon after, | wrote
my opinion of it. 1t was
Rcsolved, In order to please the Trim
mer War candidate, we have war
ResolUed, In order to please the Trim
mer Peace candidate, we have Peace.
Resotred, In order to please all, that
the war go Oh until we get in. Laugh
ter.)
At the same time it reminded me Of a
little story, wherein it is related that it
was
Resolped That we have new Jail.
Resolced, That the new Jail stands
where the old jail stood.
Resolued, That the old be not removed
until the new one be built daughter
They nominated Mcclellan They then

them all. 1t was a big cheese and had
been four years toasting, and it is seldom

they did at this Convention. daughter
| came back to New York, and the only
noise along the route | heard was the rat
tie of the cars, which seemed to say ''Mc-

that into cheers for their candidate

them | knew of forty-one appointments

that upon another occasion an individual
offered vast possessions, when the devil
did not own potato patch. And when
they gave cheers for McClallan, it remin-
