 SPEECH OF CEN. j. C. FREMONT.
 LADIES AID GENTLEMEN: Let me thank you for this friendly welcome. It is my l first visit L. your beautiful State, but it
 gjves me pleasure to find an no stranger a,nonr you. And l have to thank you sincerely and gratefully for being kept in continued remembrance since our first work ! together in 1856. find that ] have here many namesakes-men and women grown :: 1 it is a good occasion for me tc thank you 1 for the honor as wei! as tie pleasure this gives me, aEG in finding myself made so much at home among you. Beginning with your welcome yesterday, at Putnam, 1 have been made to feel like one returning rather than arriving among friends. II is ! a long, time nov since ] took part in one ] of the great meetings of ihc people, and 1 to-day I am here rot aS one of tine speakers but simply ,o joln with you cordially in the observance of the day and III that renewal of patriotic feeling which ! hope 1t will always excite. At this time especially am
 glad to see the unaiminIshcd enthusiasm l which .he da- has called out. T. indicates 1 ,r.. t1 rt ia~. fal otism or chilled your devotion to the coun- ! try. Tine peace, prosperity, and union in- augatated ou This historic day were but a short time since seriously threatened. That ! danger seems to have been avcrtcd.
 trust that it is so. But, in any case, l see l here a reserve oFlhe people ready to answer | the call in any emergency. Secure in this. 1 your Government Is strong. t was the ! people who inspired and dic:atcd the meas ] urcs and policy oi the late War. it was the wave oI popular opinion which hiscG aad ! bore forward Pr iJcHt and Cabinet to the successful issue ui our struggle for nation aitv That this renewed danger io which ] i have referred vas aycr;cd, WIS largely 1 due to ty;o thinga. OF rather to two men, yao, together, represented .tha feeling sof ! the whole country-tAc best feeling oi the icau1trv-thc o!d American feeling, The one Nas the emphatic declaration ui yUUr 1 President, that he woulI Use all lhe power
 vou had placed in his hands to ma.utaiu peace and good order. The other was the equally emphatic act ot d man who ruae above personal and party interest to un!;e ] in putting down, at the outset, this Renewed danger of evil war. l. was a saying Cl ! Senator Bentou's, that ",hcre wers some 1 things too small, and some too great for 1 party. That it should not h. used to turn l q clerk ont Oi office nor shcU.d ii ever te allowed to ia.ercfere Wi;h the honor anal
 welfare of the country" tt Was in the ,riri; of this generous aad patriotic maxim l that AlcNaBdey H. S.uyc-s, Of Georgja, op- posed the attempt oi lis party to ulsettic tkc Government at Washington. Eat tue l popu.ar will, strong aad right as 1t always
 is, can in ordinary times act only through the men who at the moment are is aCorcd- ' ;trd representatives. Tor this reason IL Is esucialiy necessary now, in th1 coming clCc- l uous. e send ;o Washington mon who can i Dc relied upon, Go prevent disturbed con- diiirn ot' the country. To-day we coa- .. nemoratc tae foundation of Government
