TIE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

The President after expressing his graft,
floatlon for the visit, addressed the regiment
substantially as follows; ,.I \.
Let me say to you that this is your coun-
try as well as anybody else's country. This
IS the country in which you expect to live.
This country is founded upon the principles
Of equality, and the STANDARD by which poo
pie are measured is according to their merits
and their works There is. always a just
public sentiment, which viii measure to each
bis proper reward.
There has been much, during the war to
excite the black people against the white peo-
pie, end the white man against the black
man. Upon the return Of peace and the
surrender of the enemies Of TIE country it
should be the duty Of all to see that this re-
sentiment should be buried This is -you,;
mission Iou have been ENGAGED in sus-
tanning the country IN its supreme trial, now
let your actions be equally worthy. in the
time Of peace
One question remains to he settled. It
has been decided that the institution Of sla-
very must 60 down. This has been done,
and the Goddess Of Liberty has made her
Hottest flight, aud proclaimed universal free,
dom. Now, when the sword is returned to
the scabbard, resentment and revenge should
cease. Now, that you have returned 10 Law
down your arms, there are other vitality ila-
portant objects before you After the Gov
ernnent has passed. through this mighty
struggle, the question is now before you
whether you are prepared to give evidence
to the world that yoq sre capable and coupe
tent to govern yourselves,
Liberty is not only an idea, but a reality.
There can be no liberty without law, aud We
cannot do as we please. Liberty
call you nay counfIymen consists in the
glorious privilege to work, to pursuing the
ordIArv aHoc"tion> u ministry and economy

The Washington Chronicle state, tha, a..s
very cunning csse Of smuggling on ihe Ssn- sir

which the law provides no remedy. IL
seems that the smugglor built MS house iln-
msdiately on the boundary line, with an en-
trance from the north and another 1fom..us
south. lie can thus bring British or AMER err
can goods into his heuss without paying gu.
ties TO either Government; and can, without
dstectiou, easily pass ihem.over, to the eIner !;
side. Ii is said the fellow has, by TINS hlici.
trade, grown rich, and scarcely tsel' aesn unoer
the necessity of eonceaiiug his i'1gotte1
qaips. The Government OF the cni.sI
States has, OF course, been the principal
loser. ss the import of dntiabls gosds great,
ly l1 exceed. the export. The Chronicle says 5
But this rat hols is to de stopped. An
amendment to the laws for the prevention
Of smuggling is about to be presented IN
