Secession, but the cliaging to the
Union; and now, to-day, if the nation
were to be imperilled, and there were
two modes of saving it, to trust the
chances of civil war or the chances Of 4
free vote Of the Southern peoplc-I
would very greatly prefer to take the
latter chance rather than the former.
For fellow citizens, they do greatly
misunderstood and malign this Amer
lean people, when they assume that in
cold blood, before there had been any
clash Of arms, the people in the South,
any more than the people Of the North,
desired disunion.
In its inception, in its origin, the
great masses of those who consented to
this secession movement meant nothing
by it but to make us consent to the
extension Of slavery. That was their
purpose, and that purpose did my
best to resist and defeat. Well, the
war is ended. I think it ought to be
ended. We had great, a terrible, .
bloody, destructive civil war. Our
success was perfect. The defeat of the
adversary was more complete than any
defeat recorded in history. They have
suffered much, they have conceded all.
Cannot we afford to be magnanimous
at least? But. fellow citizens, they
say that the Southern people may
vote. Some of them may; but the
instant they vote the cry is raised:
"See how these fellows vote!' They
cry: "You must vote the other way"
Is that an election? Or is it only
the fashion Of war in another as
pect?
Fellow-citizens, you belong to one Of
the great hives of American industry.
l plead here for peace and reconcilia-
ton as the interest especially Of this
busy, prosperous, energetic people. l
have sympathized with Pittsburgh; I
have rejoiced in her prosperity; have
wondered at and admired her magni6-
cent growth. You surely know no
place on this continent has been dearer
to me than Pittsburgh. There has been
no spot in whose prosperity have
more heartily rejoicsd than this, be-
cause 1 believed her prosperity was
irmly linked and bound together with
the prosperity and growth Of our whole
country. Now l appeal to her busi-
ness men, / appeal to her merchants,
appeal to her manufacturers, to stop
this war. 1t has gone on long enough.
You cannot afford to teach a part of
your country to hate you; to feel
that your success, your greatness is
identical with their humiliation.
People Of Pittsburgh, I ask you to
take generous part i'll this work Of
reconciling your countrymen to each
other. l ask you to take the hand

again be fellow countrymen and forget
that we have been enemies" Friends

Tired Mothers.
By MRS. ALBERT SMITH.

A little fellow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee, that has so much I,
bear;
child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch Of tangled
hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
Ofwarm, moist fingers; folding yours Sc
tight
You do not prize this blessing over-nuch-
You almost are too tired to pray tonight
But it is blessedness. A year ago
did not Sc it as l do to-day
We are so dull and thankle IS, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now it seems surprising strange to
That, while wore the badge of mother
hood,
did not kiss more oft and tenIerly ...
The little child that brought me only
good.
And if some night, when you sit down to
rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, curling head frem off your
breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters con-
stantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And meier would nestle in your palm
again;
If the white feet into the grave had trip
1could not blame you for your heart-ache
l wenler so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the footprints. when the days are
wet,
Are ever black enoug to make them
frown,
If could find little muddy foor;
Or cap, or jacket on my chamber floor;
If could kiss rosy, restless foot.
And hear its patter in my home once
more;
If l could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the
sky
There is no woman in Gods world could
say
She was more blissfully content than I.
But ah! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never run,pled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest is flown
The little boy used to kiss is deaL

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Post tells this: Mrs. Allspice has

be belle herself, both before and after her
marriage, now that she can triumph 70

make her remarks about the maneuvrlng
ways Of her daughters rivals. During
the winter a gay and wealthy bachelor,
from New York, dropped down in Wash
ington, and, making himself very agree
able, was warmly welcomed and suitably
entertained. In return of favors received,
he, before Ibis departure, gave German
at one Of the smaller and aristocratic ho-
tells. A married lady, than whom no one
Is more highly thought of among the resi-
dents of Washington, agreed to chaperon
the affair, so there was no manner OF rea-
son why any prudish questions about
bachelors entertainment should keep any
one away. Miss Alspice was invited,
though unacquainted with the giver Of the
German, and forthwith Madame Allspice
held council with friend or two TO dis

in New York city last week, it was re.
solved that ono woman, with

with voice or pen in his election
to the high position to which he is nomi

do not like Mr.. Greeley's opposition to the
principles and demands of the woman suf.
fragist'. His nomination by the liberals
has had but one effect in all directions
that of driving away from the support of
their ticket, corruption, dishonesty, folly
and venality in all shapes. The repre-
sentatives of these, in the event of Mr..
Greeley's election, will meet with no ell.

HOW HIS NOMINATION Is RECEIVED ny
THE IRISH.
lFIom the Irish People
Greeley's nomination is one of the most
prudent and judicious that could possibly
be made. The liberal republicans went
wisely to work when they secured such a
man as their candidate, and the wisdom of
the democratic convention will be evil
denced by the prompt adoption of the
man and the platform Of the Cincinnati
convention.
BE II remembered that Horace Greeley
is better known, better beloved, and will
receive more unanimous support from our
lrish-American citizens than any candi-
date which the democratic convention
may bring forward.
Irish gratitude is proverbial and in this
instance it shall be warmly manifested
Horace Greeley has, through long, event
ful, and most honorable life been the con.
slstent friend of the Irish. Ia lSls he
was foremost in the Irish Directory in this
city. His political views toward our old
enemy-England-have always been of
that character which recommends them TO
our people. He is the foremost American
citizen alive to-day. His greatness is only
equalled by his well known goodness his
splendid mental capacity and knowledge
81 true craftsmanship have rendered his
name theme of praise all over the world.

The remarkable speech, made by Hon.
ID. w. Voorhees, in the interest of General
Grant, synopsis of which we have pub
lished, will attract the attention of the
whole country, not because it contains
matter Of importance, but because its NJ
terance by such man at this particular
time will compel the conclusion that
another Of the leaders in the Democratic
Israel has yielded to temptation, and re.
ceived from the gift-taker that which has
induced him to crook the pregnant hinges
Of the knee, and, while pretending to be
zealously jealous Of his principles, at

HON. ID. w. VOORHEES,

This gentleman, brilliant as he is in
speech will strive in vain To arrest the
popular current which is about to sweep
the Grant administration from place and
power. In congress, yesterday, he defined
his position to be one Of intense hostility
to Greeley, and of mild degree of toler-
ance for Grant-the unmistakable infer.
ence being that he prefers Grant to Gree.
ley. This morning, the radicals will be
chuckling over the accession Of voorhees,
to their party, and the latter's speech will
be rehashed in every variety of form as a
Grant campaign document from now un.
til election day.
We hope all the so-called democratic
congressman who think with VOORHEES,
will lose no time in declaring their posi-
ton as boldly. 1t will be refreshing. at
any rate, to discover that they have any
well-defned idea as to their duty in this
crisis. The country has looked to them in
vain, so far, for some slight evidences of
ability in the way of leadership, and the
Time has passed when the public cared
what their attitude might be. The Gin.
