SEREsApE TO COLLECTOR BoswELI..-Last
night company A, (Pioneers,) 18th rcgi-
ment Boys In Blue, assembled at Johnson's
Hall, d street south. between Fourth and
Fifth streets cast, and headed by Bodon's
brass band, marched through Pennsylvania
avenue to the Capitol, and through Mary
land avenue to Hyson's Hall, on street,
cnth ward club, and proceeded to pay their
respects to Collector Boswell's residence, on
Seventh street, between d and Z.
Arriving at the house the band played
several airs, when Mr.. X. ]. Collins In a
brief address welcomed Mr.. Boswell home
again. lie stated that this welcome was to
have been given before, but misundcr-
standing prevented at the time contcm-
plated.
Mr.. Boswell responded, thanking them
for the so%Rm s6 psdk s dSa5SH as
party from the beginning; and his intention
always to be found there. While absent he
had received communication after commu-
nicatlon that there was war and rumors Of
war In tho heart Of the Republican party.
lie stood there to pronounce the assertion q
lie. Republican principles might be set
aside for a moment, but year, or at most
two years, would set them right again. His
hearers might expect to hear from him an
attack on high officer Of the city, but he
was the last man to blasphemc the Rcpubli-
mi rty for tho npOnln
to settle. His own grievances and wrongs
he could bear with patience.
He declared the recent successes In Viz
ginia and Tennessee, which had been claimed
as Republican victories, delusion. This
conservative Republicanism was but another
name for Democracy. He defined his POSI-
ton In the city government, saying he had
nothing TO do with the payment Of laborers,
Che wished he had,) nor with the making up
of the tax list. He then alluded to his dill
culties in regard to the commissioncrship of
the ward, declaring that officer did not rep
resent his principles or those Of the Repub-
lican party. He had entered his solemn pro-
test against his appointment, and he wanted
1t distinctly understood he would never yield
to that man.
After music by tho band, George W. Hat
ton was introduced and spoke Of the bicker-
ings in the Republican party as not being
any difference Of opinion, but simply clear
ing out Of the weak and rotten pillars that
they might put In good, strong ones in their
places. Tho Republican party could not be
broken on the great issues.
Whenever vacancy occurs In high Office
In the city government, either by resignation,
death or the expiration Of the term, and they
wanted a man who was not Weakened, but
would stand firm aud true to principle, they
knew Just where to find him. Chcers.
Speeches were also made by VIM. ii.
Brown, of the Fifth ward Samson Meter
and others, interspersed with music by the
band, after which the company, or such as
could get In, were Invited into the house to
partake Of refreshments. The company
dispersed shortly after twelve o'clock, with
three cheers for Collector Boswell.
