NEW YORK, OctdS9er 4.-An immense
mass meeting was held at Cooper Insti-
tute last night, to listen to an address by
Speaker Colfax. The hall was densely
crowded, and thousands were unable to
gain admittance. lie was enthusiastic
cally received, and spoke about two hours
amid immense applause. He commenced
his speech by proposing three cheers for
the principle that loyal men should rule
the country for which they shed their
blood to preserve. The course Of the
Republican party is patriotic, and de-
serves well of the country in reconstruct
ing the South. Conditions guaranteeing
security for the future should be insisted
on. The terms granted the rebels by the
Constitutional Amendment were mag
unanimous to a degree, but were
spurned. 1t was a'mistake to suppose that
any change of public sentiment had ta-
ken place in the South. They had fought
TO the last ditch, and only surrendered
when OverpOwered by Grant, to whom
the country owed more than to any
other man. If tomorrow a foreign war
should occur, they would be found ar
rayed against US. Colfax proceeded to
argue that the reconstruction acts Of the
President, and the amnesty pToclama-
ton, etc, were unconstitutional and yir-
tual usurpations. He commented in
severe terms on his treatment Of Gems. |

bling OF Congress. The conclusion Of

ing him, in the speakers opinion, liable |
to impeachment, and to a scathing re-
view of the principles and policy of the /
Democratic party.
