FELLOW CITIZENS. thank you for this

eht here TO night to meet yon-to look you
in the face, and feel that you are as stroDy.
as undaunted and as firm ss when you were
fighting your enemies in the field. | have
not come 10 sneak 70 you at length, bat only
to say to you that as | went into this war
with my whole heart. 30 now my whole
heart is with that party which carried on
that war to 30 glorious an end. Cheers |
| believe that much remains yet to be dDne
that the HtmOs, firtnness and determination
are necessary 10 secure what we have
gained. believe that the campaign which
is now going en-that tn" battle which is to
be fought on the 7th ot November is ~ i'm.
pOrtant a. nnF contest we have had IN the
field. | believe it will do more than any
one other thing 10 fix the pslicy to be used
toward the Southern States and to found it
upon principles which will make Us truly
strong and united Your victory on that
day will do more than any other thing ta
strengthen the hearts of Congress and the
President. Whatever opinions may hs hrld,
gentlemen as to the measures necessary 20
accoh.D Dlish these ends which we all have in
view, | have no doubt ~ IN which party
can be most ss%sly trusted with The work.
Applause II is thSt grest Union party
whether composed OF Wings Democrat or
Republicans, which has carried this slruR
gle to an end in The field. Ycu have nHtt
despaired of the Republic --you have loved
it when it was torn, and sick, and suffering,
and you can be trusted with its honor now.
Hear, hear and applause | am not one
OF those gentlemen who believe that all
Democrats are disloyal. have seen too
many Of them in the army for that l
should rather say, in comparing the parties
that all our own party are loyal. | see none
ot those in your ranks who have looked
celdly on during this war who have oppos-
ed, hinaered and baked tho Government of
the North. believe. gentlemen, that the
soldiers understand this; believe that they
will support that party at the polls who has
supported aud honored and loved them :
Cheers. ] have great respect for the
distinguished soldier who heads the other
ticket in this State, for his military achieve
ments; but do not believe. fellow citizens,
that those soldiers ofNew York who follow
ed him so gallantly when he was marching
against the enemy, will follow him now
that he is marching against their friends
Renewed cheers. Fellow citizens, I have
not before met you assembled in the ma
jesty Of your character of electors deiber-
ating upon the public welfare; but have
known the peope of Now York; have ad-
mired them, have suffered with them in
other and sterner scenes than these. /
have seen your sons die for their country;
they struggled, they fought and they died.
and they were conquerers. Applause.
Their glory. their trophies aud the treasures
they have won they have left to your care
These trophies win not let YOU sleep. You.
too, have firm faith, will watch and strug,
gle. and fight, and believe you, too, will
be conquerors. Great applause,
The young and gallant soldier, whose
modest demeanor and intellectual counte
nance wen the hearts of all who saw him,
on taking his seat was loudly cheered.
