the responsibility Of It upon the great Republi-
can party OF Philadelphia! III that gentleman
can imagine that he Is advancing the interests
of his party, or can find any pleasure in such
groyelling appeals TO his hearers as he made

Let US see what else this Democratic orator
said. He next spoke Of the national debt, and
'contended that the Republican party created
this debt, and that as long as that party WAS
in power it would never be removed.n Mr..
Moore said that IL was astonishing that any
one would deliberately get up before an
something of the facts of history of the last
eight years, aud make such an assertion as this.
when he must have known that every fact OF
history and every record of events for the last
eight years proved the utter falsity of such an
assertion, He then discussed all the facts con-
nected with the Rebellion, showing the connec-
ton OF the Southern wing OF the Democratic
party with 1t, and reviewed the action OF 'the
recent Democratic Convention and closed by an
earnest appeal to his hearers to stand by their

The Republican citizens of the Evenly
seventh Ward met in mass meeting last evening,
at Forty-second and Market streets, and orga-
nized by the selection of Mr.. James Miller as
President In consequence OF the rain storm
the meeting was adjourned to the hall Thirty
seventh and Market streets, where addresses
were made by the Buckeye Blacksmith, j. W.
Baer, OF Baltimore, Christian Knesss, ESQ.,, Hon.
George Council, and Hon. William ID. Kelley.
The latter gentleman, in his speech, said that he
had just returned from Washington, where he
and his colleagues had put two new coils around
President johnson to keep him in humor.
The Republican members informed him
that the States from whence they came would
p,p run up immense majorities for the whole
the verdict OF Pennsylvania, the Keystone State.
A prominent New Yorker told him that his State
might be set down at thirty thousand majority
for Grant, The speaker said that he gave his
colleagues to understand that Pennsylvania was
as safe as Maine, aud would foot up majority
OF twenty thousand. He was in position to
know, being in constant correspondence with
prominent men of the State, and had the facli-
ties for obtaining such information. So he
authorized every member of Congress to spread
the news on their return to their homes. He
knew that the Republican, party would receive
thousands of votes not looked for, and votes
from the Democratic party. Among other
things that satisfied him of the increased
vote and majority in Pennsylvania was the
duOplcu Dy Jne OppOSlGlOu party,
a platform that should be talked up In
every house, for it is splendid cleo
tioneerIng document for the success of
the Republican ticket. The speaker here referred
to the fourth aud sixth planks in that platform,
which favor revenue tariff and an equalization
OF taxes. He showed the results of the revenue
tariff In years gone by, in the shape of panics,
etc, and contrasted it with the good results of
the protective tariff adopted aud sustained by
the Republican party at the present time. Mr..
Kelley concluded amid great applause.

Colfax demonstration will take place at Bechtel's
