Tickets of admission will he issued to the

O'clock at the League House.

In the course Of Mr.. .Durant's remarks
he said:
"Thc unfortunate people, as fast rs cir
cumstances permit them, are fleeing from
their homes in the South to seek refuge,
hospitalities and freedom of voting and
discussion here in the North. How long
is this to continue? How long before the
loyal people of the Union Will give the
loyal men in the South GovernmentP-
My opinion is free where every man shall
have the right to express his sentiment by
vote and in words; where he shall have
the respect and privilege of communica-

any of the delegates in order to produce
harmony; nor would it be necessary to
muzzle any of the delegates. He begged
pardon for having been the man who
placed Andrew johnson in nomination.
As God had forgiven him, he hoped the
people Of Pennsylvania would also for
give him; but he would say it would
