THE BOSTON MEETING.
BOSTON, Jan. Is, 1875.
The alleged military usurpation In Louisiana
early stirred up the indignation OF BostOnians,
Notwithstanding they have been somewhat tardy
in expressing it. The IDEA OF holding meeting
In Faneui Hall was suggested fully week ago,
and among the leaders in the movement was
Charles Francis Adams, Ex-Governor Bullock,
william Gray and many others eminent in politics
and craftsmanship. Mr.. Adams was the
foremost OF all other gentlemen In urging the
meeting, and his absence ON the occasion was a
matter Of surprise. The names Of some gentlemen
which were appended to the call were there with
out their authority or knowledge, and previous to
the meeting they oisclaimed all sympathy with its
motive
THE "CRADLE OF LIBERTY" CROWDED.
Contrary to general anticipatons, the meeting
was eminenty successful IN every particular.
Faneuil Hall was crowded to its full capacity, and
there were very many who were unable to gain
Abundance. Conspicuous among those on the
platform were:-Mr. Gray, Hon. William Aspin-
wall. Hon. Albert Mason, Hon. Leverett Salten-
stall, Colonel Theodore Lyman, Edward Gray,
Richard Olney, Hon. Frank W. Bird E. B. Haskell
and President Elliot, OF Harvard College. The
meeting was
CALLED TO ORDER
by J. L. Stackpole, who IN his remarks said that
1t has been the custom or the people Of this city to
meet together to consult upon the public good
and to express deliberately, consclenrously and
1earlesslY their opinion upon political questions.
Especially has this been the case where personal
liberty or personal rights have been invaded IN
any part OF the Union. The voice Of Massachu-
sets has always been heard on the side OF law
and lberty-not for the liberty which overrides
the law, or for the law which degrades liberty.
Not many years since Massachusetts, poured
forth the blood of her best and bravest citizens,
without distinction Of party, to secure the suprem-
acy OF the constitution and Of equal rights, of law
and liberty, throughout the Southern States.
That supremacy has been established. With de-
votion to the same principles which animated us
then we meet to-day, without distinction OF
party, to assert for the ctlzens OF that same
south this right OF selrgovernment, in accordance
with the constitution and the law which we have
declared shall be sacred ana inviolate throughout
the land.

SPEECH OF HON. WILLIAM GRAY.
Cp. tha Oh nton
with enthusiastic applause, and alter 1t had sub.
sided he proceeded to speak as follOws:-
FELLOW CITIZENs-In the opening month OF the
centennial year IN which we are to celebrate the
nation OF those long civil struggles which pre-.
ceded American Independence, we are called
upon to take n0iee OF TACT Wmcm mas no
under the arbitrary tyranny OF the Stuarts OF
England or under the iron despotism Of Oliver
Cromwell, the Protector, for anything to place by
the side Of that outrage committed In Louisiana
the Atm day OF January, 1875. 1t gives me great
pleasure. leow citizens to stand IN your presence
III This hail on occasion like this. No party
are to letter the speech OF any one who addresses
cheek upon the tree speech Of the S cItzens OF
Massachusetts in Faneuil Hall. (Applause.) l am
the more glad, fellow citizens. tnat TINS meeting
two Senators in Congress whose voices have not
been heard (applause) TINS enormous
sumner are now members OF the House OF Repre-
have been silent. (Applause.) We have been
educated IN Massachusetts fellow citizens, and
trust and feel confident that without the aid ana
cOuntenance Of those to whom we should natur.
ally nave looked to as our leaders, we will try to
Ind our own way to the declaration and mainten-
ance OF the right. tApplause.)
Fellow citizens, we all know, and IL Is so familiar
TO that In ordinary times II makes little impress
zion, that the Houses OF Congress and OF legislation
throughout the length and breadth OF the land are
the soc judges OF Inc qualifications ana modes OF
election OF their own members. But we do not
always remember through how much toll and
struggle those principles were established. If
you go back to the time OF the discovery
OF America, and later STILL to the landing
and within q few years OF that landing the Chan
cellor OF England acting under the direction Of the
KING, though ostensby not dong 3d. frequently I'M
seated members OF Parliament by taking advantage
The story OF Charles the First and his attempt to
expel the five members Is familiar to all, and In
later days, In the struggle with Cromwell and up
20 the revolution OF 1858, the C0mm0ners found
themselves the great defenders OF the rights OF
tbe people.
