Miss DlcKiNsoN's LEcrrRE-A very large
audience assembled At the Opera House last
evening, to hear Miss Anna Z. Dickinson
discourse on "Breakers Ahead She com
menced by saying that the battle had no.
yet been fought-the victory had not yet
been won. What battle she meant was for
the hearer to decide. Eternal Vigilance
was the price Of Liberty, and We must keep
on end be vigilant. Where the breakers
came in we failed TO discover. There WASH (
the least sign Of anything like them visible
from the beginning to the end Of her har-
angue. Annie is a great stickler for princi-
pie. She did not like the way the Republi-
cans went over to the Democracy in the late
State elections, and she gavo them some
sharp raps over the knuckles for so doing.
But then she admitted the corruptnsss, the
dishonesty Of the leaders Of the party, even
to assert that the Republican party 10 now
without principe. Said she. II dare you
to tell what the principle Of ths Republican
party is beyond the carrying Of the next
Presidential election" The idea Of running
Grant for President, because be was SOL
dies aud on the popular side, found no f.
voe with her. She did net think the Re-
publican party should hide its priscipls be-
bind the smoke Of this mans cigar. The
party must nail their colors 70 the masthead
and fight under them. The movement Of
Mr.. Stewart aud his two hundred Vice
Presidents received particular Jessie"
They were defined - speaking for the timid
aud eowardly men every here. Miss Annie
did not want to be understood 40 saying
auehs against Gen. Grant; she recognized
his valuable services on the battle field. But
she did not want to see him President. Prin-
ciplc was what she Vas after. and for prin-
ciple she would lay do IN evsSything. Grant

psrused, representing stretch Of country

bered-means alteration for the negro. She
does net deny that the Almighty should be
invoked first and foremost; but after that,
worship should be reserved for the negro.
Gentle Annie proceeded in this stvain un-
ill her voice grew husky. She thought the
loss Of President Was nothing to the loss
Of principle. The Republican party had IL
own President in power now, and what il

Miss Dckipson's appearance on the ros.
trum 's nos,o graceful ~ Of yore, although
she dresses hare superbly than ever. Her
face seems to e',w more masculine every
time one looks atA.r. and her small form,
slightly STOPPING fors,rd when she speaks,
involuntarily lead one !, think .ha. she is
trying to carry . very heavy lad-too
heavy load for her cos~,itu,ion. And
perhaps she is. The carrying Of the "prin.
c,ples' Of the Republican parry by any
one-male or fema!e--at this particula,
jancturs. is feat that wssld do credit to !
