Grand Republican JOlIiGcatiOn at
FaneuiI Hall,

Last night large and enthusiastic political
mee,ing was held 10 Faneuil Hall, Boston
hall and surrounding streets. An outside
meeting was organized. The Boys 10 Blue"
and the veteran Tanners" paraded with
torches, Robert j. Burbank presided, and In q
brilliant victories won in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and Nebraska, and predicted
the triumphant SUCCESS of the Grant
the hon. G. A. Phelps, ex-President of
the State Senate, the Hon. George b. Lorng,
General Banks, and Captain Joseph Tucker, the
nominee of the Republicans for Lieutenant
Governor. 1t had been announced that General
Butler would speak, and II was evident that the
majority of the multitude had assemble mainly
to hear him. The speakers were repeatedly IN
terrupied with cries of Butler, and when the
General entered the hall, while DIR. Loring was
speaking, there was tempest OF applause. He
was introduced to the people by the President,
at the conclusion of Captain fuckers speech,
with the following c9mmendation;L knew "
how to act and speak for himself at New Orleans,
in Congress- and in the city OF New York, when
putting down Seymour riot"
General Butler said that on this night his
hearers had received the final assurance that the
great State of Pennsylvania, the Keystone of
the arch, had spoken by majority OF at least
$1,000, and Ohio, wheeling once more back to
her moorings in the line of the Democratic
Republican States, had said, Thus far and no
further shalt the wave of the tatsely-called
Democracy CO." indiana, true to her Colfax,
had also spoken on the side OF freedom and right,
and had added one more Congressman to the
Republican side in Congress. All this sho wed
beyond all peradventure that the election of
Grant and Coliax was certain, and that
this country was to be at peace. In
view of all this the whole country looked
to Massachusetts, to maintain her lead in the
politics of the country, and to give for Grant
and Colfax one Of her old-fashioned $4,000 or
$4,000 maiorities. Last year, when, on account
of divisions upon local question, the Republi-
cans Of Massachusetts only elected their Gov
ernor by rs, 600 majority, all Rebeldom shouted
for JOY, and said that Massachusetts had faltered
in her course, but they. were mistaken. No
Irishman in the land could consistently oppose
the entranchisement of the negro. He then
discussed the party names, ana said he was
proud to be called radical, because it meant
O progressive man-one thai went to the root of
matters, while conservative was always haug-
ing back. Who ever heard OF running train
by the brakes? In regard to the national debt,
he said that it was au evidence of the strength
of the country, and he was proud OF it
on that account He then pictured the future
prosperity of the country, and predicted that 1t
would soon be the greatest country in the world
He closed as follows:-"With Grant and ColfaX
in the executive chair, with Congress on the
side OF justice and right, with all the questions
thas have disturbed us settled we can look
forward to the future, aud have pictured under
the rule of Seymour and Blair-if such curse
is IN store for US. We should see anarchy and
bloodshed. General Blair is man that have
known for many years, and he ia bold, brave
man. who says what he means, and means what
he says. He gays it would be his duty, it
elected, to set aside the Reconstruction acts
and do away with The protection to loya'
men established by Congress. But 1 give
warning that whenever General Blair, or any
body elee, seeks to oyerthrow " by the bayonet
the just laws that your Congress duly and con-
s,tutionally have enacted. the bayonets will be
crossed (Cheers, and cries of Good, good.n)
We seek peace. We want 10 more war. We
ask that we may have the arts of peace aud
nothing else, but when the war is undertaken
on the part of ANYBODY to overtime this Gov
eminent, when any new rebellion is inaugu-
rated, and-as by Governor Andrew in l96l-we
are again called upon to march to the field, we
will march so as tn leave no green ground be-
hind us upon which trees may grow.
Senator Wilson followed General Butler.
