on the occasion. lie then drew u
graphic outline OF his own political
career, showing, throughout, his
devotion to the constitu ion aud the
Union.
IIc said that when the crisis came
and the rebellion commenced ho
took sides in favor " the maintcn-
ance of the Union, but with all his
devotion to tho common country, he
was no less opposed to the consoli,
dation ofpower of Government. If
the present Congress were permitted
TO continue their course, il would
finally succeed in establishing n
dcspotism concentrated in one despot
of Government, and eventually in
the establishment of q monarchy
lie referred to the passage OF the
Freedmen's Bureau bill, tho civil
rights and Montana bills, rs testi'
mony to this opinion.
He then mentioned the assaults
of various kinds which had been
made upon him, and announced his
determination to stand mmovablc
where he had already taken his po-
sition on the battlcmcnts ofthe con-
stitution. Referring to n pleasing
demonstration in which thirty-siX
young girls had personated the
States of tho Union, he said that
our country was, like Cornelia of
old, equal y proud of the beauty and
achievements Of one child, and the
others nourished them all with
equal care.
Sec'y Seward was then vociferous-
ly called for. He spoke acceptably
to the dense asscmblagc in support
of the restoration policy ofthe Pres
ident. Sec'y Seward thanked the
audience for the kind reception.
He stated this was his first appear
once before Kentucky audience,
but was nevertheless free in mind,
in heart and in utterance, to express
his genuine sentiments before the
people of Louisville He would.not
hold different language here in the
slightest degree from what he would
in other cities and States of the
Union. On refectian, it had par
tieularly suggested itself during his
tour, that from the capital through
the State of Maryland, and what
was generally called the Keystone
State, and the great States Of New
York and Michigan, and through q
part of Illinois to st. Louis, in the
State Of Missouri, and again through
the southern parts of Illinois and
Indiana to the city of Louisville, he
had found that while in the North
ern States there was a great differ
ence on the subject Of the restora-
ton Of the Union, in the State Of
Kentucky, and he might with equal
propriety say in all the Southern
States, there was an entire nnanimi-
ty ofopinion in favor of the Union
of the States. The South is sound
and sincere in it's loyalty to the
Union. The reason Of this was OBJ
vlous, and founded on simple prin-
ciples of human nature. The ideas
on which this war had been under
taken were nurtured in the South
fifty years before their practical ex-
ecution. The battle had been fought
and the South had lost, and natural
ly the reaction was great, for their
suffering had been great, and the
party that had suffered most in its
efforts to break up the Union was
evidently now. best satisfied in ac-
cepting the results Of thescontest.
At the conclusion of the war, Presi
dent Johnson summoned three per-
sons to consult with him as to the
conditions on which the Southern
States could be readmitted to the
Union. lie (SewarO was one of
these parties, and he advised that
when the flag ofsecession and slave
ry was hauled down from it's staff,
the Union should be restored in its
full integrity.
In answer to a demand from the
crowd to tell them something of
Mexico, he replied, eyes, will tell
you something about Mexico
Take care of the States you have
already got, and when you have Sc
cured them, we will talk to you
about Mexico"
Farragut, Welles, Gems. Custar
and Crook were introduced and re-
ceived with applause. Rousseau
was at home among his friends
The party then repaired to the
Louisville Hotel, where quarters
had been provided, and where an
immense crowd had gathered to
greet the President, which they did
by loud cheers. A splendid banquet
was given at the Louisville Hotel.
The Chief Marshal, Gen. JEFF. G.
Davis, and his aids, conducted
things very creditably. Notwith-
mass Va BSO-
pie, no disturbance or accident oc-
Cured.
$40 p. M.-The President and
party have left for Cincinnati on
the steamer United States. They
will stop at Madison half hour and
arrive at Cincinnati at s A. NJ.
The committee on reception de-
serve great credit, considering the
short time and very stormy weather
which PREVAILED yesterday and this
morning. However, everything was
arranged, and this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock the sun came out,
with a good strong breeze. The
mud was soon dried up. In fact,
more pleasant weather could not
have been desired.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-The City
Council have refused, by a votsOf
