Below we give a few extracts taken at

If they are not SO strong as would suit the
latitude Of Washington, let it be recollected

The President's Sailors and Soldiers Speech
IFrom the Yarmouth Register, April %, 1886.
THE President was on Wednesday last screnadsd
BY the Sailors and Soldiers Union, and In response
mado speech, which Of course Is denounced BY
the Washington correspondents Of the several Bos-

not non. resistant Is somewhat defiant towards his
avowed enemies But the political doctrines Of tho

Of secession and trying to establish the doctrine
that no State has the power to break up the Gov

shows himself they can kick him out, and say to
the community, You must send us loyal men. ;
The President, in conclusion, entered into vindi;

himself to stand by the defenders Of the aag."
