"The speakeriWas in Europe when Lin
cplu's great Proclamation of Freedom APP
peared. He had observed how coldly the
liberal classes of Europe looked at our
struggle when the opinion was prevalent
that the only object of the war was nothing
more than the restoration Of. the Union
with Slavery. But as soon as this glorious
and immortal document appeared, public
opinion in England changed wonderfully.
Every idea of interTsntioa was at once dis
missed by the foreign powers, who did not
dare to take sides with rebels who had de-
oIared war on the Union in order to save
the cursed institution of human slavery
They did not dare to undertake anything

Glasses of Europe, although suffering from
the war, were aaanimousiy and magnant-
mously willing to suffer any amount of
hardship rather than have human slavery
held alive and strengthened. The labor
ers of Barcelona when they heard of the
proclamation, resolved to thank the Presi-
dent for the glorious act. Their address
was splendid piece of penmanship, sign-

magnificent mahogany box, and sent to the
speaker to transmit to the Presidept.-'

through Germany, the whole length aud

We conceive that no class of citizens in
our midst have higher obligations aud
higher interests arising out of the election
Tomorrow than those of foreign birth. We
have many such citizens in this communi-
ty. Nearly all O. them left their homes in
the Old World and came here and cast in
their lots with us in order to better their
condition. And nearly every one has bet
tered his condition. Aud why, and how2
Because this is land of equal rights. Be-
cause the opportunity to do well is open to
all-not less to him who was born abroad
than to him wac was born here. The law
makes no distinction. Equal privileges
aud equal protection are afforded to all.
No country in the world ever dispensed
such equal rights with such lavish hand.
Rome made every. man, not Roman by
birth, win Roman rights apd privileges by
extraordinary service to the State. And
so did Athens. The modern nations OF
Europe do not grant the full rights of birth
to foreigners at all. But here in this grand
,country, the humblest citizen of foreign
birth receives the same fostering care and
protection to life and property, and to ell
his social, religious and political rights
as does the native born son of the soil.
Now, what we want to ask each foreign
born citizen, is this: Do you consider that
all this favor from this kind government,
that has been SO good to you, merits moth
ing at your hands in time like the pres
emit 7 Was there no agreemsnt-no con.
tract in your oath of allegiance Was

mcnt, and none on yours2
"Did but propose to embark with thee, M
Upon the smooth surface OF q summer sea,
But to desert the ship and make the shore
when the winds whistle and the breakers roArl"
Every true adopted citizen, who appre-
ciates what this government has done for
him and for mankind, what its future
promises for all the earth, will return the
answer OF that noble man who said:
"bty country, mol
One sacred oath has tied our tates
One destiny our lives shall gaide.'

HENRY WINTER DAVIS, in his great speech
at Philadelphia, pictured the setting of the
sun of that Conservatism which 30 nearly
hamstrung the nation IN, its battle for exis-
tence-setting Sin the thuuders of the
coming majorities." He said:
rather think that, instructed by the
lessons of this latter day, the men who
slipped secretly to the Presidents ear and
advised him to pocket the bill that was
carried through both branches of Congress
by the whole mass of his supporters to
consolidate the legal freedom OF the slaves
of the rebel States, and give them civil
guarsntees-the men that gave that secret
advice and pushed the bill off in the SEN
ate until It could be defeated without the
responsibility of a veto, will not repeat the
advice at the coming session of Congress.
TGrest applause.l The thunder of the
coming majorities will reach even their

the mass of the American people are re.

of the time, and who have read deep in
the bloody lesson of this day, will apply
the lesson for the benefit Of themselves
