REPUBLICAN MASS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF COLONEL R.!S. MATTHEws.-N National Hall was
crowded last evening, on the occasion OF the
delivery OF an address by Colonel r. StoCkett
Matthews, OF Baltimore. At the appointed hour
John Gotorlh, Esq, was called on to take the
chair. He thanked the audience for the com
pliment thus conferred upon him, and took
pleasure in introducing distinguished cham
pion of human rights, Colonel r. Stockett
Matthe ws, who was received with great applause
Before this audience, and in view of the many
issues which distract the public mind, Col. Mat.
theWS felt that braVer heart and older heal
should occupy the stand on this occasion. He
| commenced by alluding to the peculiar position
| OF public affairs at the present time. He was
| opposed to committing the Government to men
! who had Tor over five years been the open advo-
| Gates OF human slavery. Not only was he OPP
posed to that party, but he was opposed to every
man who did not put himself III opposition to
that party.
1t had never administered the Government
| Alright and has always sanctioned that which
| tended 10 inj juTe its best interests. He was op-
| posed to all such men, because he loved that
which had been the admiration and refuge Of
| the oppressed.
| The people of his State were not as harmless
as the dove, but when the candidates put up
| by those OF his state did not sanction that
| which was directly right, he would oppose il.
If this is a republican form OF government,
| those who live under it can claim that which
| brings to them the greatest amount of happiness.
! Governments are intended as the dispensers of
! the greatest blessings to those who live under
| their influence. Governments which do not
tenderly put their hands on the heads OF those
| who are their subjects, and offer to them such
protection as they have right to expect, are
not answering the ends for which they are in
| tended.
Believing that impartial suffrage is right,
| therefore he was in favor OF it whenever 1t
| could be brought about for the best
interests of the governed. The enemies OF the
Republican party are IN favor of restricted suf
| them. They wish TO lodge the power in the
! hands of the few, and thus keep back from the
ballot-boX those who have as good right to vote
| as those who oppose impartial suffrage.
If some OF those who have opposed this liberty
were in the South, they would not refuse to unite
themselves to those who are of the colored race
| in the holy bonds Of matrimony. He would not
trust them. daughter and applause)
If ySu take those who have been instrumental
in crushing the interests of the coored man,
and place them under some crowned head OF

p8rty has risen and sunk.
At the bullets of the South, surrender OF
General Lee, and at various times during the
war has it shown its hideous head. daughter
and appause) They showed themselves IN the
Wjgwam in this CITY,. They have appeared, and
then all OF sudden have sunk into oblivion, to
all human appearance. Their recent meeting
at the Wigwam was but a spiritual meeting;
they buried themselves in what they call the
National Union party. They have run about
like ghosts, wrapping themselves up in gauze,
such as appears around the chandeliers in your
Continental and other hotels.
Mr.. Doolittle was there too. He made one
very large joke when he asked to be allowed
to read a telegram in the following words:-
"The Administration candidate has been elected
in Colorado" (Great applause.) And the
next morning he was obliged to announce a
telegram OF different KIND. (Renewed
| laughteT.) Again, when it was announced
that Massachusetts, and South Carolina would
walk arm-in arm into the Wigwam this was
another ghost, tremendous applause.)
Who made that Convention Who gave il
all the brains that it had? Andrew Johnson
| Doolittle, and men OF that kind They car
/ red the whole Convention through for the
sole purpose OF detrauding the American
4 people. II was false in appropratng to it thC
\ name of the National Union party, when ther,
were but few who were there who could bt

| There were few loyal men there as the dele
gates, bu; the majority OF the men from tn,
North and the South who were the representa-
| tves OF these sections were disloyal.
When the President took upon himself TIN
oath of office IN the beastly state he was IN

The party which upholds him is the grea
party OF traitors North and South. 1t may b.

He was one of the electors of his State and hat
