last Saturday evening, on "The
Times" The first portion of his lee.

the anti-slavcry movement. lie then
struck the key Significantly by saying
that the first great question of the
times is, :lVhat is the will to reign at

we arc no wiser now than wo were on

Then all hail to the chief who will

Niaughter.9 The lecturer here relat-
ed an incident of the war, in connoc-
ton wib Secretary Wells and the
commander Of one Of our war vessels,
land continued. The South, to-day, Is
a land Of anarchy, of blood and of in
security of property, because the out
going President called to his aid
the white men of the South, and
trusted the element Of secession
Eight millions of Southerners, bred
in secession for thirty years, were not
converted by Gettysburg. A mista-
ken idea ,incarnatcd ina generation
never, gets. out Of it. They adhere
under al circumstances, and both arc
buried in one grave. There are GER
tain steps which, once taken, are ire
vocable. Tho South stands to-day
having taken that step which cannot
be retraced. Andrew johnson has
gone to Tennessee, but there stands
the South with all the consequences
Of that step staring her in the face.--
The nation has to fight the battle over
again. The South wants capital
The North offers money and school
marms, and the South replies, eve
will have your money but not your
schoolmatms." 4 The long history Of
Andrew. johnson is to get capital not
schools down South. Grant with that
stalwart, rigorous, despotic right hand
of his, means that dollar. shall 20
South in front, with Yankee on the
one side and a schoolmarm on the
other. q The President tells us in his
fine inaugural that the Fifteenth
amendment ought to become law, that
the debt of the nation should be paid,
citizens protected, &C., and thorc he
leaves us. ITe leaves thirty millions
of people to shape their own future.
That future is easily shaped. When
Ben. Butler was, in Now Orleans you
could travel down South with millions
OF dollars in your possession {; you
could stand iii q public square and
read the Declaration Of Independence;
you might, wave your bat in salutation
TO, the stars and stripes and feel per-
fectly safe. Now if we could have
Ben Butler largo enough to cover
thirteen States the thing is done.-
What Grant listens for in tho White
House is to know whattwcnty millions
Of people want him to do. We hope
he win go down, to Texas and make it
safe to plant the flag there-ho has
not done'it9T yetAahdit will add o
laurel to- his wreath even greater than
he won on the battlefield. There il
one, laurel, I repeat, which Grant has
not earned yeti Oliver Cromwell said
that he would make tho name Of En-
glishmon such power, such a terror TO
enemies, that, an rEnglishman might
feel perfectly safe even though be
stood on the verge Z Of the civilized
world, laaa he did IT," We. want Grant
torimitate that example. We want
hin to undo the history Of five terri
ble years, to employ that cannon now
