The resolution wa. adopted with single nay
In'thc' evening the enthusiasm had in.
creased, and speeches were made at
every hotel and in every hall, and lis
tened to by large audiences, and still the
streets were thronged. BY 10 o'clock
on Thursday over 100000 persons had
assembled on the commons in ALE ghany
City, in ratification meeting, aud were
addressed by Gems. Banks. Butler, and
Sigel, Gov. Curtin, and many others
from as many stands. Upon the whole,
there never was such a demonstration OF
the po~er and mW Of the pcople-the de-
tenders of Republican government and
Republican prihciples-as assembled, at
Pittsburg last week. They have spoken
in thunder tones to Andrew johnson,
telling him. that A1y'Policy' is not en-
dorscd =" by. the Masses and he will be
worse than a mad man if he does not
heed the warning, which, fellow soldiers,
you will repeat in tones yet founder at
the ballot-box in October.
