SPEECHES OF GENERAL DEyESS, PRESIDENT
| HAYES, AND JUDGE KEY.
WASHINGTON, August o." They" con-
tinue to talk in New England. General De-
renS said: "a few years ago the Church OF
which you are part here represented was
torn and rent asundcr by the great conflict OF
arms between liberty and slavery. Ger
| tainly, now that the great questions in
volved in that contest are settled, there is
great reason to rejoice. The members OF
the Church North and South are again
united.'
The President then said A." Ii is not best
for one bred to the law to attempt to quote
Scripture. but there is something like this
There is more JOY over the repenting OF
one than over hlndrcd that have not gone
astray.' We have with us Il friend who was
for four years against us, and more recently
made the mistake Of voting against me;
but row, on the question of the maintc-
nance of the Union and on the question OF
freedom and equality to all men, no man is
before Judge Key"
The Postmas ter General spoke as follows:
at would not be expected that should ap-
pear here without embarrassment. 1t is not
without feelings OF sadness that view this
scene. am carried to my bayhood days,
when in that far distant South, my sunny
home. | attended meetings like this, for
| Mcthodists we found in that part OF the
Union. and my father was minister in
your Church. He has been gone now ten
years, and you have heard how l have
wandered. l will not attempt to quote
Scripture, for I might fail more signally
than the President, but ! have heard an
old hymn that reads, while the lamp
holds out to burn the vilest sinner may
return The fact that General Dcvens
and | are here together shows that the prin-
ciples Of religion have Il hold in the Cabinet
! il not throughout the whole country. The
people OF New Hampshire need have
no fears OF the people Of the South.
Both political parties there have en-
dorsed the Constitution and all OF its
amendments. and the people have
been placed by the President and his policy
on their GOOD behavior. and am sure they
will keen their faith. thank you sincerely
for this greeting. and / accept it not as
compliment to myself, but as 4 mark Of feel
Ing YOU have for the people of the South"
Secretary Evarts was then introduced.
He said
Ladies and Gcntlemen.-When the
founders OF this Government formed it
they laid its support sure in civil and reli-
eiollS liberty, and insisted on the entire
Separation OF Church and State. They were
guilty of no such folly rs would confound
freedom in religion ,eiM q fau from rell-
qiou. They wanted that there should be
one seat OF united power, and that in the
"a ho
people themselves, and knew no method by
which men could be capable Of Seli-goyern-
ment but when they had been made
capable OF governing themselves, they
insisted that though there was a di-
yersitv OF gifts, yet there should be the
same spirit now. We have seen no.
thing wanting in magnifcence of our re-
ception. We have ridden through your
magnificent State. We have seen, as it were,
that mountains skipped for Joy, and now,
lattery, the hills have clapped their hands.
The history Of this people shows that there
was never 4 profounder saying, WHO has
not much meditatcd on God AID man will
never be aught but Il laundering political
and sorry statesman
RECEPTION AND ENTERTAINMENT OF TIE PRE-
SIDENT's PARTY IN CONCORD, y. II.
CONCORD. y H., Aug uSt TIC l'ipSCS-
sion arrived at the Eagle Hotel at half-paSt
| o'clock Dinner was served at the hotel,
Of which the Presidents party and promi-
nent gentlemen, with their ladies, were pre-
cent. At the conclusion OF the dinner Pre-
sdcnt HAYES, Secretary Evarts, Postmaster
General Kew, and Acknowledgement De-
yens, accompanied by Governor Prescott
and staff, Senator'S Wadleigh and Ralins, and
others. escorted by a military company,
proceeded to the rotunda OF the State
House. where the President held a recep-
ton.
After reception the party proceeded to
the steps OF the Capitol, when Governor
Prescott said: "FelIow- ctiZens, 1t is
with great pleasure introduce to YOU the
President of the United States"
The President then addressed the assem-
blage us follows:
"Governor Prescott. Ladies, and Gentle
men,-This custom Of Misunderstanding, which
have Just got through with, comes down
to Us through several generations, and 1t IS
not altogether Il satisfactory proceeding;
and now having shaken hands we hardly
feel acquainted with each other We wish to
hear voices, and suppose it is rs proper now
as at any time to make my acknowledge
ments to the authorities OF the State OF New
Hampshire, Governor and members OF the
Legislature, and to the, authorities OF the
city OF Concord for their kindness in bring
| ing me to New Hampshire. We entered
the State last Monday, and have been max
ing our way through, it visiting remarkable
scenery OF mountain regions under cir
cumstances every way favorable. The
weather is perfect. the sky clear. the air
bracing, and when on the top Of Mount
Washington there seemed nothing lacking
to improve that wonderful spectacle. That
is as surprising as if is perfect. 1t is posi-
Bile we have had a few clouds in the sky
enough to make the sky seem beautiful as
their shadows tioated over the great noun
tain. And passing from that we come down
into the region OF the lake-that beautiful
part OF New Hampshire where your great
river, rivers perhaps. take their rise
where the great MerIimac the river that
unites such cities as Lowell, Law
renee, and ManchesteD takes its rise.
ESQ ! came down here under Il some
what hotter sun than is usual in
your climate, think. l met you, glad to
exchange greetings with you, and to be
met by you. thought it was not altogether
proper in meeting this people that | should
talk politics to them. Men OF all parties
have met me-Republicans and independ-
ent-Rcpublican that are satisfied and Re-
publicans that are dissatisfied. Applause
and laughter.l And really, feel BY the
way that laugh comes in that there is
pretty large crowd here. [Laughter].
| But at any rate we are here not to talk poll
tics, and it does not seem proper to me that
one in my situation should argue rs to mea-
| cures he thinks Dropcr TO pursue. What
