The World says that Murphy will be

CINCINNATI, Aug. 12.-Hon. Samuel
Shellabarger addressed large meeting of
Republicans at Springfield, Ohio, this even
ing. We extract the following curious COM
ment on the tariff resolution OF the Cincin-
nat-BaltImore platform:
It was covenant between convention
and its President TO be elected, that he
should trample the constitution into dust
by a covenant that any tariff bill should be-
come the law without being sent to-, or
considered or signed by the President, or if
sent to and signed, that this should be a
mere farce or form, because the covenant
bound him to leave them wholly unconsid-
\ cred. This made the covenant q conspira-
| cy and its execution treason, for which the
authors could by existing law be put to
death! [Sic!l @

dressed the people as follows:
FelloW-citizens Of my native State OF
New Hampshire: A few words, which
must necessarily be hasty, may be accepla-
bic to some of you. 1t has been said that
our Americans are little too fond of going
| abroad to Europe, but l am sure that he is
a poor American who does not come back
a better American than when he went
/. Who does not appreciate America
: when he returns? Europe may be in many
respects better than America. Her popula-
ton is more thickly settled, her arts and
sciences more thoroughly developed, and
S her apple trees, have noticed, have less
? dead limbs on them than they have in New
Hampshire. But the American who travel:
l through Europe finds reason to appreciate
the freedom, the opportunity, the hope o.
y American youth. l hope that the more the
S people 90 abroad the more will come back Il
: appreciate the lakes, the skies, the air, The
fruitful soil the gorgeous scenery and glory o
our own country. l do assure you as one
who has travelled in Europe thai | could
see no such thing as people gathering Il
: consider any question of public Importance
: except of religious character, and L re
, ioice that | was born and have been per
mitted to live here where the people hav
everything to say in the management o
; our institutions. In the hope and belle
that our country free from some entangle
! ment and some endorsements is destine'
to become dearer to all of US, take m!
leave.
A general hand-shaking followed tn
speech.
