To YOU, General, and to you, soldiers,
representatives Of the grand army OF
the republic, it is my privilege to adj
dress q few, brief words.
I For years it has been my habit to APP
pear before my fellow citizens, and by
an interchange Of opinions to learn
somewhat Of duty, and / have been
grateful to them for the kind consid-
Grafton awarded me, even when my
convictions upon questions of public
interest avedidered widely from their
own. I have always felt myself to be
their debtor, yet never before have
been 50 oppressed by sense Of graft
tude to them as at this moment.
No man may live during period OF
great public excitement, icarlessly and
honestly expressing his opinions and
discharging what he believes to be his
duty, and hope to escape calumny and
misrepresentation. l am not an ex-
ception to this general rule; | should,
indeed. almost question my0wn SINGER

Of ardent and manly advocacy, were I
to be so. Ny gratitude is, therefore,
deep and heartfelt, that, in this capital

CENTRAITZATIoN NIESTs THE tOE-
sTITUTIoN.-There are twogreat issues
now prominently before the public :;
two issues involving between them the
life and death Of liberty. On the one
side there Is the nomiualIy Republican,
really Radical party Of the North, and
more especially Of the New England
States, which Processes high admiration
for what it is pleased to denominate
Csat'u1i.atioa This fine term when
reduced to It's essence signifies simply
a central dcspotism which utterly ig-
nores all rights save its own, and under
preteyt Of which rights ii can commit
hegreatest wrongs. On nthcothersideis
the great Conserratire and truly Demo-
cratic Republican party, embracing the
whole country, taking for its watch
word the Constitution and herights of
the States as guaranteed by that instru-
mcnt thus most cfIectua!ly checking
and controlling all attempts at Federal
despoti~m. Between these two parties
representing such momcntous issues it
will be the province Of the Philadel-
phia Convention to decide. Who can
doubt the decision"

SONG of the Pardon Seekers.

We're coming, Uncle Andrew j., your
pardon to impore,
A motley band from Dixies land we haunt
the White House door.
We don't know what on earth we've done to
harm IL single SOUL
But, to our woe, alas we know that you
our fates control;
And, wanting home and lands again, here,
without more ado,
Upon our knees, we T. +. VS. for pardon
humbly sue.
We're coming up from Charleston, too, and
l., all along the shore,
The chivalry on bended knee your mercy do
implore.
A year ago, and even less, we thought your
seal tn wave
Above the soil where slaves should toll o 'er
Freedoms bloody grave:
But Mortimer fought, and Freedom lives,
and you are President
Hence for your grace our periured race their
supple knees have bent.
Behold the fierce fire. eaters here, as cool as
Northern ice,
And tigers, too, from savage Lou, as limo
cent as mice:
From every State we thronging come, with
wishes most intense,
Like Tyler John to hnd you on the Demo
cratic fence,
Where you may shield us while we strike
another coward blow:
Our co-conteds, the Copperheads, assure us
twill he SO.
When sins imputed to our charge give rise
to doubts or fears.
Our women go. in weeds OF woe, to move,
you by their tears;
With unrepcntant rebs they kneel, and
towards not Il few,
Who hope to rest in some soft nest by cring
ing thus to you,
And so we come and so we go, and leave
the White House door
a pardoned band from Dixie's land, as
wicked as before.

The Chicago Times.

We are satisfied, the recent singular
demonstration of the Chicago Times in favor
of negro suffrage, was intended, not as q jen
desprR, exactly, but as an advertising
dodge. We have read the Times pretty
closely for the past week, and, il it has mates
rally changed its position from whatit was
one, two or three years ago, we faillto see 1t.
The Times, before the election, fought negro
suffrage only so far as the radicals proposed
to force it upon the south through congress
ional legislation. AS to negro suffrage in
Illinois, neither the Times or any other derI>
ocratic paper of this state made vociferous
declarations or professions pro or con. AS
TO forcing negro suffrage on the south, we
understand the Times to occupy its old posi-
titn. Says that paper of Monday:
81. is for each state to determine for itself,
rs Massachusetts has dor e, whether its i'm
partial suffrage shall be qualified or! unirer~
SAL Congress has no more concern with 1t
than it has with the question OF municipal
corporations in a state. -
What democratic paper ever took differ
rent position When did the Times eyer
maintain different position?
What seemed to be the foolish part in the
Times position, was its proposition to in
fluence the south in favor of Impartial sut>
frage" BY means Of northern democratic
pa,erilal advice The proposition was
Si:ke insulting to tie northern democracy.
and the people of the south OF course the
idea of accomplishing any sood--tsupposing
negro suffrage at the south to be a good) in
tia, way, was ridiculous. The Times. how
ever, had TO take that dodge or its scheme to
get up a hubbub about itself, and thus an
indefinite mount IF gratuitOus advertising
| would have been two transparent to succeed.
The funniest part about the business,
however. is, the earnestness with which
Father Perkins, the animated carrot" OF
the Ottawa Republican, rushes to the de-
fence OF the Times against its supposed new
assailants That gives the case a cast SO
irrssistibIy ludicrous that It will be wholly
impossible again to-treat the subject ser,
ioG,ly.
