Senator BettIe's speech.
In his address before the convention accepting the
nomination rendered him, Mr.. Bettle said:-
Much has been said of late about a certain mystic
rious and dreadful thing that abides among u.s.
Upas tree, all that IL pure and good and true pines
and withers away. That mythical horror, that dire
chimera, has been called the Ringl
The fences and bare walls OF the city have been
eloquent with appeals, sometimes fierce, and some
times ptiful Tor its destruction and downfall. What
1t is exactly where located, what deeds of dreadful
import it has DONE know not Now, Mr.. President
if the Ring means small and despicable number Of
macOntents, misChief-makers, and dlsorganizers,
who are ready and willing for personal malice, dis
appointed ambition or reasons yetmorevenal and cor
ruptto use professed and cheap Repubcansm to
stab their party who its enemies while apparently
Of its own household, who ready to strike hands
with its foes in vain and futile attempt TO dsOrga-
nize and defeat it, If that be the Ring, and know no
other, then in the name Of all that is loyal and good
and true | say from my inmost soul down with the
Ring. But, sr,f the Ring means good men and tru e,
who have never wavered never faltered but have
kept brave step shoulder to shoulder whether In
defeat or victory who Republicans from prin-
cpe, who love their party and its glorious creed of
law, order progress, and the largest liberty for all
Gods creatures, who have never wandered after
strange gods or betrayed their trust who stand
faithful sentinels upon the watchtOwer, who have
ever given OF Their time their means, and the best
efforts of their intellect to promote the success Of
their party and secure its triumph, under whatever
standard-bearer if that he the Ring, then say also,
with equal emphasis, up with the ring and down
with the traitors.
Let that Ring include in its ample circumference
all that is good, loyal, and true, all that the party
holds of faith honor, and unfaltering allegiance.
rms Rlng Mr. PRESIDENT Is the republican party,
strong in its devotion, determined and resolute OF
heart, and presenting an unbrOkeR front to open
enemies and boiling conventions. Then, sir, from
that King, as ever VIII proceed no uncertain sound
no enviOus grumblings, no clamOr Of disappointed
ambition or petty malice but the clear ring OF loyal
hearty active efOrt-the sure fOrerunner OF victory
SO much for the Ring.
Ex-senator Frtlinghuysen's speech.
The Hon. Frederick r. Frelinghuysen eX-United
States Senator also delivered an eloquent address,
in the course of which he thus referred to the adj
minstration and the PRESIDENT
Another reason for the successful issue of this
election is that want to see the party firmly sup
porting our lllustrious President. Now know there
are some lean souls in this world and they very
! lean indeed, who look without commendatlon the
| President. They look upon the personal attentions
which every man in the country ought to rejoice to
render him, as a sinister craving after his patronage
and it is represented in the Democratic papers in
| that light,
During the war his patriotism animated his sound
| Judgment, showed him the priceless value of this
| naton to us, to future generations, TO the WOrld
and his iron Will became steel and his courage be-
| came sublime, and the command was, March on !,
! March on believe it in the sight Of heaven to be
| my duty, and take the responsibility. (Applause)
few more patriot regiments enrolled in death their
names among the martyrs Of liberty, and that Rebel
! host broken and destroyed, and he called
! on the Republicans thus:-There is huge Rebel
army which threatens the destruction of my country
will crush 1t and the country will be saved Fearful
terribly fearful was the execution OF that resolve. He
saw the gallant youth of this country with the dew
of smoning on their brow laid in CHASTITY lines at
his feet, and the Rebel host was unbrOken, undis-
mayed That was the crisis of the war; that was
the crisis of the civil liberty of the world; it was
whether the sublime proclamation of Abraham
Lincoln was to bring honor or reproach upon man
kind. Then, then, he was great Any other man
would have hesitated, would have fatered,
would have said, dare not make a greater
sacrifice, in the sight of heaven dare not; let the
army reCede.
