the eyes of the whole civilized world. |
He earnestly and eloguently pleaded
for a return to the, ways OF peace, |
for equal rights before the law, for "a uni /
form and patriotic foreign policy, for the STU 4
pretnacy Of civil law, for pure judiciary, i
for local self-goyernment, for all the distin-
gushing features Of The great American Re
public in its palmiest days. He did not fear
foreign wars, nor did he fear internal dissen-
sions. but he did fear the worst results from
the drowsiness Of the people when their,
liberties are in danger. The people must arise
in their might, and by the exercise of the
ballot hurl Grant from power. He closed by
quoting the splendid lines of Herminisls to
Armenitls, concluding g.. a.jsft.s l
:~.Better amid these fields 10 die ..r*..t j
Than live in splendid lnf,my." E

Governor walker Speaks.
General Barringer introduced with words
of highest compliment Governor Walker,
of Virginia. AS the Governor advanced to
the front of the platform the audience arose
and gave three rousing cheers for Walker
and nihe cheers for Virginia. Before the
excitement subsidized General Barringer held
up the Governors white tile and exclaimed,
"You sec he wears Greeley hat" laugh
ter and cheers. "Yes;p said General Ran
som, "and Greeley head" tRenewed
aughter.l 81 would prefer Greeley
head" replied the Governor soto uoce
Governor Walker said that, fatigued as
he was. after tedious sojourn In Bal
titfi6Ts, hs could not resist the persua-
sions of General ftafsom that he should
Join his fellow-citizens of the Old North
State in their grand struggle for liberty,
peace; and nn;on. This was not merely
question Of Graft Or Greeley so far as they
were iiidisl5iIaTIs concerted; the one might
be returned to hif sysrHi'ef aid tile other
to the "tan:yarS (which he is peculiarly
Httad 10 hdorn: EApplause.] But these
men were REPRESENTATIVES of principles
which the American people mist either con-
denim or ndorse. It is L question Of peace
or war; He did not intend to discuss the
personnel of the two tickets, but he could not
forbcar calling attention to the difference

by all the characteristics of All ilnpersonation
of grim-visaged war-stern, RELENTLESS mill

each of the candidates, and bade all honest
men Iudgc which Of the two was more worthy
the confidence OF fhc people. He predicted
certain victory fof tha tfiftfunati atiticket: Gov
crnor Walker then glanced at The neetlliar
features of the contest in North Carolina. All
ewes were row turned towards the Old North
State. Here the first gun would be tired for

North Carolina must speak out in August as
she did a century ago for freedom. She
must and shall be redeemed. She must and
shall take position in the front rank OF the
States whose voices are for peace and Union,
Greeley and Brown. [Great applause, mll-
sic, and discharge of artilery.]
| A Humorous speech.
Colonel james w. Hinton, the abie-bodled
and sityer.tohgtcd orator of Norfolk but Il
native of North Carolina, was the next
speaker. His speech was glowing with met
aphor and replete with striking anecdotes.
The position OF the New Jersey Democracy as
to Greeley's nomination he ikened to that Of
the Dutchman's wife who suddenly departed
this life: "Was she resigned to her fhteT>

signed" sir; was the reply, "by Cd, SIT,
shr had to be.n He had studied long and hard
for a good cpitaph fot Grant, and concluded
that the best thing that could be written
upon his tombstone is, "He was good
smoker" Some people were very fond OF
digging up Greeley's record. AS TO that
record he (Mr. Hinton) was like the lrlsl''
man who, having eaten n dozen roasting cars,
WAS sick almost unto death. The Doctor
said he must die, and batle him pray, and
he uiick about it. "But, Doctor" said ne,
~ can't pray" "Yes, but You must. "
Thus urged, the Irisbman liifed up his voice
and said, "Oh Lord, relieve me, please, OF
half dozen of these roasting ears, and Will

acts during the last few years had removed
half of our objection to him, and we will try
TO stand the balance. Colonel Hinton Kept
his immense audience alternating between
