The excursionists took their departure

NEWARK, 9 A NJ.
Several thousand people were here IN
waiting. Salutes were fired, flags were
profusely displayed. and a piece OF white
cotton was stretched across the road
bearing the words, I'VE stand by Andrew
Johnson 10 Indianapolis here" The
President, Secretary of the Navy, General
Grant and Admiral Farragut were intro
duced. Calls were made for Secretary
Seward, but the enthusiastic crowd were
| informed that he was to unWell TO ap'
pear before them. Three cheers were
given for the President, the Constitution
aud the Union.
The President, in q brief address,
thanked God that he could receive this
cordial welcome as citizen OF the UNI
ted States.
It was source Of qualification that he
could present to them the flag of the
country, not with twenty five, but with
thirty. six stars. The citadel of freedom,
the Constitution OF the United States,
has been encroashed upon, and if this
invasion of the organic law shall not be
arrested, the day is not distant when we
shall have q consolidated and monarchial
form of government. The tendency now
is to absorb all the power OF the govern
ment in legislative brawls. The time
has come when we should break the
shaekles which binds US to party asso'
citation, rising above party and take our
stand by the Constitution and the Union
Let the country be the rallying cry. The
Constitution was the league by which he
was bound, and not the league which
meets in the darkness of midnight to de.
stroy the Constitution. Unless the
course of Congress is arrested by your
suffrage we shall have another civil war.
It will not be between the North and
South, but an intestine war; Then ask
YOU to come forward and prevent such
deplorable result, by standing up for the
Constitution of your country. These
remarks we're frequently interrupted by
applause. Some persons in the crowd,
as if to distract the proceedings, repeat.

The train halted for a few minutes
when the President made short speech,
with much acceptance.

arrival of the Presidential party, men
and boys, They had posted aplacard
containing the words New Orleans, "
and one in the crowd proposed three
cheers for Congress, and three cheers for
Thad Stevens, but they were only family
given. Gen. McCallum remarked to them
that as they had sunk so low as to not
respect the President the latter would
have nothing to say, three cheers were
proposed for Grant. A call was then
made for General Custar, who appeared
on the platform and said: l was born
two miles and halt from here, but l am
ashamed of YOU. The cars then moved
on.
CADIZ JUNCTION, | r. 81.
We stopped here to dine. A fine re
| past was furnished by James Cady. Sub
sequeutly the President and others were
introduced, including General Custar,
who said he was Harrison county man
and was glad the President had an op'
,, portunity to see some respectable people
in Harrison county. He had seen at
Newmarket the worst class of people he
had seen since the beginning of the war.
"a vcice-"We don't insultthe President
here."] Irepeat have not seen worse
class of people a voice-"Except the
rebels."l No, don't except them. The
rebels have repented. Do you not know
that Newmarket is the home of every
ism and that there is more infdelity in
Newmarket than in all the county to-
gether. [Cries Of "that'so," and you're
right
The President IN few remarks SAID
the time had come when we shouldreason
together aud when passion and preju-
c ice should cease and love and fraternal
feeling prevail. Let US have an entire
Union and reconciliation and peace.
These and other utterances met with
generous responses, in strong contrast
with the behavior at Newmarket.

Four or FIVE thousand persons were

were cries for Seward and repeated calls
for Grant. The President was subse-
quently introduced, aud when some one
asked him to give them few remarks,
