BUFFALO, Oct. 2.--Notwithstanding the in
element weather an immense crowd gathered
In the large skating rink, 10 bear the Hon. Ho-
ratio Seymour make his speech Of the campaign.
Long before the hour for speaking, the rink was
crow led fully 5000 people being present. On
~ two days were given FOR preparation, and yet
a brilliant torchlight procession Of 1000 or 5000
people, in uniforms, escorted the distinguished
speaker TO the rink, not 1.-THE Of which could
| gain entrance.
Tho Hon. James Humphreys, chairman of the
meeting, called the assembly 20 order at 81 o.
! clock, when Gov. Seymour delivered an eloquent,
! impressive. and stirring address. He said:
MR.. SEYMOUR'S SPEECH.
FELLOW IrlzENs;-The first words ut.
tered by the republican convention, in their
resolutions, congratulate the country upon
! the success of their scheme Of reconstruc'
ton; the last words uttered by their speak.
| ers and their presses, declare that recon
structiOn IL a failure that the south is still
in n condition Of rebeion that its social
disorders demand the presence Of great ar.
mics and that the first duty Of congress,
when it meets, will be to turn reconstructed
Georgia out of the Union again. Ap.
pause,
| TIE FAILURE OF RADICAL POLITICS.
At the outset Of this canvass, the repub.
| lican party asked to be continued in power
upon the ground that it had governed the
country for the past four years wisely and
well and they demanded popular appro.
val Of their policy. After full discussion
Of three months touching the wisdom, the
| integrity, Of the policy of the government
with regard to reconstructlon and finance,
| it is found that order has not been restored
at the south; that the burdens Of debt have
not been lghtcued, or the evils Of oppros.
siye taxation have not been lifted off from
the labor and industry Of the country as they
should have been.
RADICAL ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE DENoC
EACY.
Driven from the first ground, and feeling
that the people Of the country were unwill
ing to approve their acts, they now try tC
hold power by making the people believe,
not that they have done WELL but that the
democratic party would do worse if they
succeeded at this time. To prove this, they
| aver that the success of the democratic
ticket will involve the country again in civil
war. They feel that nothing short Of civil
war would be worse. Cheers. They have
declared that the democratic nominees
are ready to overthrow their legislation by
force.
THE rYTlNATlON THAT SEYMOUR IS TO BIZ
DISPOSED OF.
