SPEECHES DURING RECESS.
Loud calls were made for Senator
Wallace. He finally rose and said: |
see in your faces an indication OF good
times coming. There was hope for the
country, and when there was hope for
the country there was hope for he DEM
ocratic party. The Constitution was
about to be vindicated. Success was
about to crown the principles OF the
Democracy. He invoked a spirit OF
harmony and of concord, byeVerything
they hold dear. He invoked the Con-
vention and the people to fOrm such Il
solid and permanent front as must car
~ the party standard through the ter
rife canvass that was about to open.
Calls were made for Mr.. Carrigan, Of
Philadelphia, who said: That if the
great hero of the buckshOt war was in
the Convention to-day he would feel
the throes of a political earthquake
He never said anything truer than
when he said in Congress, that he trem-
bled as if an earthquake were surround
ING him. Laughter. 1t is coming
for such men as Sumner and Stevens,
who the President says, are traitors!

pIause. He referred, with el0quence,
to our revolutionary fathers, who, he
said. had fought for constitutional lib

Gen. George b. Mcclellan fought at the
head of our armies it was in behalf OF
constitutional liberty Immensecheer-

abolitiOnism would never lift its. head

Colonel J. X. Kerr, of Pittsburg, adj

Henry Ward Beecher.

The New York correspondent of the
Springfield Republican in sketching of no
tables, speaks Of Henry Ward Beecher
and pens the following tribute of admira-
ton
A few steps further on, beside Grace
Church, meet Henry Ward Beecher. and
look to see il, at near view he carries his
fifty odd years as lightly as he looked TO do
IN the pulpit. Yes. beloved of the gods
they have set upon his face and in his eyes
The seal Of everlasting youth. The extreme
radicals, with whom he has been so LONG
identified, have mathematical and dropped
him. They say that ne has Outliyed all
growth and fallen far behind the march Of
the times. His face gives the lie to these
assertions. Ii glOws with the ever renew
ing life OF heart that cannot grow old
a heart that, IN these its first autumnal
days, thrills with the fresh pulses OF its
spring; heart that can never cease to
throO IN unison with the grandest issues of
the hour, and never grow cold in sympathy
with its kind. There is no use of vOur
talking. Mr.. Extremist: while there is a
drop OF life left in a Beecher. it will be live
life, ie,-ihlnking, feeling. loving life; not the
torpid, tainted, unconscious life that half
of Tie race drag from the cradle to the
grave"
