about 600 of his fellow citiz ms, to whom
he made briet speech he had triumph
ed, he said, under the motto OF equality to
alllmen and rights under the law, by using
freedoms great weapon, the ballot. He
hailed the glorious triumph of Repu blican
principles throughout the land, and be-
lieved it would bring peace and prosperi-l
ty. We shall not long have murder after
murder, and riot after riot. Look, at New
Orleans, from where we have reported
%, 1000 for Seymour and 276 for Grant
better [applausel, and he felt confident
such times would come once more. Sew
eral Southern States have voted for Sey-l
mour, or are in doubt, because mems lives
were threatened if they attempted to vote.
When Congress meets, in a short time, it
will be our purpose to. find a remedy for
shis state of things, and if Andrew john
son does not second our efforts. though it
will be late in the day, we will try to .
provide for them. [Applause.] If the
Republican party is true to the
Democratic principles of Jefferson and
others, it will hold the Government for
generations to come. We must be true to
the doctrines of equality and trust in the
Integrity of the great mass of the people,
rather than to any member selected from
among them. Let US pledge ourselves as a
party in power, with renewed lease, that
we will aid in carrying out the principles
under which we have triumphed.
