THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.
President Hayes, in his speech. says: /
thought that 1T was not altogether proper Ia
meeting the peoi lie that | should talk iii
tics 10 them. Men of all parties have met
me, dt mocrats, republicans and independent
republicans that ale satisfied aud repub
cars that are dissatisfied [applause and
laughlerl, and really feel by the way that
Laugh comes IN" That there rs a pretty large
crowd here. LaughLer.I But, at any rate,
We are here not to lalk politics, and 1t does
lot seem proper TO me that one In my situa-
t1On should argue as TO measures he thinks
proper tOpursue. What you want in this
country a. an Executive is one that shall
execute. That believe To be his duty, and
all want OF my countrymeu is that chariea-
bic judgment that is proper TO be given by
men among men looking each other in the
lace who believe that upon the whole the
man they are looking in the face whether he
Is ght or wrong after all, meaus to be right.
lCries Of Good" and applause 1t is not a
good hing 10 FAY OF man that his inten-
ton are good, and there is a proyero that
that very bad place is paved with good inten-
toms. Laughter And yet after all among
this people the man that has The confidence
oil the p, ople that he has good Intentions mas
gair ed something, and perhaps had better
stop here and call upon some others. (Cries
OF Go on Well, then, there is only one
thing, ard that is up In New Hampshire as in
Union TO be real union. [Amen.l Union
o! hearts, union OF friends. You would wish
10 have the entire Union secure, not merely
by force, but by all the affections Of the peO
pie in all parts Of tie country. tApplause.l
Now, while we have had In the past distrust
between sections, alienation, the hostility OF
bad blood, believe, nevertheless, that with
the cause removed the old harmony and con-
cord may return cries of GoOd'l; and be-
lieve ii will return. And l believe in adopt
ing measures that will make IL return speed
lily. Applause and cries of "Good."l Then
do nOt see but that in the m ain we agree a.
tC the most eedful thing 10 be done; and our
only difference is upon measures by which
we are TO accomplish that end; and this /
must dc cline altogether to d iscuss Il.ugh.erl,
and 50 low let me Introduce 10 you gentle
men wEo are somewhat responsible for my
biIrders-and IL is great pleasure TO have
somebody to lay il on. Ia the first place,
there is d gentlemen from the south. who II
L. said captured the good natured man from
Ohio. Well, l can't say for sure aboat that,
there may be something in 1t; but thought
then that we captured him. He was very
much in error during four years, and his
error continued up 10 last November, for as
have beel telling aud ences, he made a bau
mistake in voting against Inc IN November
st; and yet upon The Whole ne seems u b. a
very honest map, ana that is one thing that
SCI ms to disturb men in politics. There are
so many men who vote wrong. He has be
come better very FAST as told the people up
there that If yOu keep him among you week
| or two, he will be as good q republican as
you can furnish, SO now Introduce to you
Postmaster General Key. lApplause.l
rosTMAsTER GENERAL KEY SAID:
II is true, as the President has kindly said
few moments ago, that was down in my
own state support Dg, to the best of my hum
BILE ability, tho election OF another to ths
Presidency Of the United States, and sup
pose that no man was more surprised than
/ when his Excellency asked Inc to take a
seat in his Cabinet. l supposed, my friends,
and this feel ought 10 say, that sucn a
step might not hurt me great deal. bat IL
might re ruin to him. i suppose the repub-
llcan party OF the north would say, what has
this President whom we have done so much
| TO elect gone and taken that Oh fellow wno
has been from his earliest infancy q de no
crat, and who In later days was rebel, and
| ken him into his Cabinet for? suppose.
my friends, and / ain serious when say it.
| that all through the north there would be a
burst OF indignant disapproval, for II was GER
ta1nly unusual. 1 have been gratitied 10 See
hat lie greater part of the north have &C
| G. pied that sppointrnent of his Ia a far diff
ftreht feeling, and / have fit satisfied
| preston OF the sentiment of the people
| Of the north that they were tired OF this
sectional spirit, and wished it 70 be forever
| Now, my friends, the men from these states
assisted In establishing our government and
cur constitution, but soon after We had en-
tered upon our career OF national greatness
| they entered into controversy on the sub
| Ject OF slavery. i propose not to enter iut)
tne reasons OF this controversy, but state to
you now that IL IL unfortunate that II ever
existed. 1t is fortunate IL is ended. There
are men at the south, l regret to say, who
have lived on this controversy and are sorry
who are tired of 1t. They accept the consti-
tuition in good faith-ail the constitution,
with the amendments, and are willing to
stand by them. and die by them, II needs be.
tApplause.] We are free people. The great
chasm which has separated north and south
has been closed forever, aud no slaves exist
In this broad land Of ours. This Is q cause
Of congratulation as much to the people OF
the southern states as to the people OF the
north; and, my friends, let me ask you here,
for quarrels, IL quarrels we must have, else
where, and let these sectional issues be buried
Attorney General Devens and Secretary
Evarts also made short speeches.
