DREADFUL DRAFT TO BE ENFORCED IN

The New York Herald has some
eighteen or twenty columns filled with

a spread esgle, the following crazy cap
tian is printed:

The procession seems to have been
merely grand advertising van, in which
the sewing machine men and others ad
vertised their wares. The speeches &C
cupy but short space in The account
General Dix congratulated the people
that the war would be soon over, and
the Union, with "all its ancient bounda-
ries, restored" without slavery. He then
drew up long list Of grievances agains.
England
Judge Governor :? Pierpoint followed.
He thought it idle to talk of peace to the
South. 1t would never re-enter the
Union except it were conquered, and
that must be dcnc.
Mr.. John Van Buren, expressed the
hope that when the rebellion was sup.
pressed an opportunity would be given
to practice love and charity toward our
misguided brethren Of the South, while |
the country marched forward in a career
of prosperity which would be the envy
and admiration Of the world. Great
applause.
Mr.. Dudley Field wanted to see Major
Anderson back at Fort Sumter with that
" old flag" and seemed to think that the
great end Of the war. After that is
done
Let US struggle with all our might .
first, to scatter the last rebel battalion,
and then to bring on again the reign Of
peace, and order, and Law; to establish
on immovable foundations the one na-
ton and the many States; to make each
supreme in its proper sphere; to build
up decences, which no man may break,
around the person Of every human be-
ing, Of whatever party or complexion.
and to transmit to our descendants this
double government Of ours, with all it's
rights and all it's guarantees, as we hope
it will remain, through innumerable
ages.
