The FIRST SpEEcH.-We hasten to lay be.
fore our readers, to-day, the first speech Of
President Grant, which We have taken great
pains in having revised and corrected es-
pecially for the HERALD. 1t will be seen
that he indicates desire TO swing round
tue circle once year as far as Gaena, but
don't positively say so. 1t will also be seen
that be tells bis office seeking serenaders that
he does not expect (desire) to see many of
them again for gears. We regret to think
that President Grant has made mistake in
this, for it is evidently the intent OF the
crowd to SEQ him soon and often for the pur
pose OF obtaining an Office The crowd
seemed to understand his goodbye as a de
sire not to see them again, for they immedi'
a,ely rushed to his supposed keeper, Wash
burne, and cla,tered before him like a lot Of
pigs seeking to root over the old SOW and
each get hold of teat.
CHICAGO. November 5th.
In response to a serenads at Galsna last
night, General Grant made the following
speech:
Friends and Fellow Citizens of Galena:
thank YOU for this additional mark of your
kindness. Sufficient, suppose. has now
been heard of the result of the late election
to show upon whom it has fallen to admins
ter the affairs Of the country for the next
four years. suppose it is not egotism in
me TO say the choice ias fallen on me. The
responsibilities feel, but accept them with.
out fear, il | can have the same support
which has been given me thus far. thank
you, and all others who have fought together
in the contest-a contest in which you are
all interested personally as much. and per-
haps more than am. l now lake occasion
to bid you good bye, as leave here to NOR.
row for Washington, and shall probably see
but few of you again for some years to come,
although it would give me great pleasure to
make an annual pilgrimage to the place
where have enjoyed SO much as have here
during the past few months.
AT the conclusion Of Grants speech the
crowd proceeded to the residence Of Con-
gressman Washburu, who made stirring
speech.
