THE ADDRESS BY SENATOR NYE.

The announcement that Senator Nye
would address the people Of Carson and
vicinity, on the political issues of the
day, last evening, vas the occasion OF
the assembling OF ladies and gentlemen
in numbers sufficient to fill the New
| Thcater Hall. Hon. G. N. Note was
called to the chair. Senator Nye, on
being introduced by the Chairman,
spoke most ~eloquently of the achieve
ments of the dominant Republican, par.
ty, to which he had the honor to belong
and in part represent. The most glorious
achievement is that they have clothed
four millions of former slaves in the
garments Of American citizenship. The
like Of this was never dono by any other
government on earth. Future historians
will never be called upon to record its
equal ofthis or any othcrpower. To close
the mighty chasm made by the rebel
lion is now the work Of the Republican
party, and the speaker felt called upon
to express his astonishment at the ra-
pidity of the progress already made in
this great work. The mission Of this
country, through the present dominant
rulc, is to relieve every oppressed peo-
pie. The vast extent OF our common
country will soon be augmented. Cuba
is coming 10 US rs naturally as q babe
to the arms Of its mother. Your reporter
understood the speaker 10 say that not
more than six moons will fill before
that gem of the ocean will be ours. The
Canadas ARE already separating them
selves from England, and they too will
by their own solicitation be annexed to
the United States f; and the prize will
be theirs. The spirit o four government
radiates to other nations, and no chan
ncls are wide enough to prevent that
radiation. The Imperial ruler of France
goes down upon his knees before the
uprising ofhis people. The last monarch's
crown is now being worn in England,
and that will never rest upon the head
of n man. It may we'll be considered
that one Government like this is sufii-
cieut for the Globe. The magical
achievements Of progress wero briefly
noticed. His fancy picture, q few
years since, Of the whistle Of the loco
motives from the crest of the Sierras
and the summit Of the Rocky Noun
tains echoing across the Great Basin, is
now a fact. OF the constant, loyal,
brilliant light from the. banner Of the
State of Nevada, before which that
of California and Oregon pales and
fades, the speaker spoke in glowing
terms. Born amid the u%pheavals and
throes of the Great Rebellion, our
young State has, upon all the vital is
sues Of the country, through its repre-
sentatiyes, voted and acted with and in
aid Of the spirit Of progress embodied
in the Republican party. There is
ample room for all the emigration COM
ing hither. Labor is wealth, and IL
will make this country blossom MS the
rose. Modern Democracy, finding that
riding the /" Niger" for their purpose
played out, now mount the Cinnamon,
crying out that they nre heather. For
his part he had no fear of them in this
respect at least il there is danger Of
their paganizing us here in the midst of
forty millions OF Christians, why do we
send a few missionaries away In their
midst with the hope of Outstanding
the world? This country will contain
seven hundred millions Of people and
not be moro densely populated than
Massachusetts,. This report is only q
brief mention Of a few of the sentences
of the eloquent speaker. To do justice
to the language used by exact quota.
ton exceeds our powers; and it will
be a wonder if u memory is not faulty
in some respects in the statements
herein hurriedly made. The Senator
vas frequently greeted with hearty ap-
plause. At the cl%ose,thers was a vote
Of thanks to the speaker, aud the audi
encs quietly, though seemingly reluct-
antly, dispersed, as though anxious
longer to listen to the sound doctrine
and noble sentiments so majestically
en~unciated by the Senator. Carson Ap-
