J.W. Forney, of Philadelphia, upon be-
ing introduced said: There was one ques-
ton which might be propounded to every
mons heart without fear of the answer, to-
wit @WOuld any man or woman, had he or
she the power, restore the institution Of
slavery?" He referred to the people Of the
/ free States, for he thought the friends of
| that institution in the South were intoxicat-
ed with the hope of being able to restore it.
He then contrasted the changed condition
of the political sentiment of to-day with
/ that which existed before the war, and ar
guing that the march of freedom was ever
onward, as the consequences OF the aboli-
/ tion Of slavery none could compute,
while the financial results were alike meal
culable. One Of the results was the opening
Of the southern country to the people of the
whole country, for which blessing the na-
tion was indebted to the yalor of her SOL
diers and the courage and sagacity of her
statesmen.
The speaker reviewed at length the polit-
ical history Of the times, eulogizing the 10y
atty and devotion of an oppressed race, and
critieisirg the courage of President John
son, whc n he charged with having desert
ed the CGion men of the South and made
himself subservient to every demand Of the
country's enemies.
At the other stands at which meetings
were held speeches were delivered by Colo
mel Frank Jordan, General Fisher, of Lam
caster, Captain Tower, Colonel Albright, of
Catdon, General Geary and others.
In the evening large and imposing
torch light procession finished up the days
