PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-The Union League
meeting at Concert Hall tonight addressed by
Lyman Tremain and Bayard Taylor. Mr.. Tremain re-
viewed the history Of the Democratic and Republican
parties and drew comparison between their candidates
before the people. IL was powerful speech that en-
gagged the close attention Of the audience two hours
Mr. Taylor received with storm Of applause. lie
said that while OF course deeply concerned in the
effect which the approaching elections will have upon
our home interests, still II might not prove unnteresting
Improbable TO inquire what thought Of the contest
by the nations of the Old World. Europe has become of
late near sister. The two continents by the
improvements in science have been brought into
the most intimate relations Our institutions
Thoroughly understood, aud the results OF our war
we're closely followed The names OF Lincoln and Grant

persons there who sympahzed with the Rebels were the
Tories Of England, the Fractionists of Germany,
Louis Napoleon, and Isabella, late of Spain.
The intelligence OF the Old World per-

the Republican party They cannot understand how any
party could exist in country which fosters unrepent

our armies. I have been asked many ques-
