he said:
| Comrades and Boys in Blue, and Fellow-citizens
OF New York: cannot look up II this great as en-
blsge, ami these old veterans that have marched
past us, and listen TO the welcome from our com
| ade who has just spoken, without remembering
how great thing it is to live III the Union aud be
| part of it. This is New York, and yonder toward
| the Battery more than 100 years ago young stu
| dent of Columbia was arguing the ideas of the
| American Union against his college President and
| Professors. By and by he went TO the patriot
| army placed on the staff of Washington
to fight the battles of his country, and there,
before he was q years old, upon drum-head
he wrote letter which contained the very germ Of
the Constitution OF the United States. That
student soldier, statesman and great leader of
thought, Alexander Hamilton, of New York, made
the republic glorious by his thin king, and left his
| lasting impressi upon New York theforemoststato
Of the Union and here on this island the scene
Of his early trilimphs, we gather tonight soldiers
| Of the new war, representing the same ideas OF
union and glory, and adding to the column of
the monument that Hamilton and Wa-hing-
ton and the heroes of the revolution reared (;
but TIE victory for which we foug hit
IL 49,
were under it, in it and above it. We ought
tonight, veterans aud comrades to stand sa-
cred guards around the truths for which fought
and while we have life to meet and grasp the hand
OF cOmrade we will stand by the crest truths of
the war; and comrades, among the coLnectio rs of
that which have sunk deep in our hearts there
are some we never forget. Think OF the treat
elevlting spirit of the war itself. We gathered
stores, and schools, and homes, from ali
over the Republic. They went forth un-
known to fame, but returned enrolled the ros-
ter immortal heroes. They went in the spirit of
ito e soldiers of Henry Of gncourt, who said: "Whe
this day sheds his blood with to-day shall be my
brother Were be meier so vile this day shall gentle
be his condition." and it did gentle the condition
and elevate the heart OF every working soldier who
fought in it. and.he shall be brother forever
more We viii remember our allies who fought
with US. Soon after the great struggle begun we
looked behind the army of white rebels and saw
1900, 900 OF black people condemned to toll
and slavery for our enemies, and we found
that the hearts of this 100000 were God inspired
with spirit of liberty, and hat they our
friends. We have seen white men betray the flag
and fight to kill the Union, but in all that long,
dre1ry war, we never saw traitor in a black skin.
Our prisoners, escaping from starvation of prison,
fleeing to lines by the light of the North Star,
never feared to enter black mans cabin and ask
for bread. In all that period OF suffering and dan
ger, Union soldiers were never betrayed by black
naa or woman, or now, that we have made them
free, SO long as we live we will stand by
our black citizens We will stand by them until the
of liberty, fixed in the armament of our Consti
tuition shall shine with equal rays upon every man,
black or white, throughout the Union. Now, fellow
eizens, fellow soldiers in all this there the benef
icence of eternal justice and by this we viii stand
forever The great poet has said that IN individual
life We rise on stepping stones of dead selves
on the glorious achievements OF its dead
and living heroes to a higher and nober
national life. We must stend guard over our past
as soldiers, patriots, and country as the
common heritage of US all. | thank you fellow
citizens, for this magnificent demonstration in so
far as ! represent in my heart and life the great
doctrines for which you fought. | accept this e.
monstration as tribute to my representative char
acter. 90 not enter upon controverted questions
the time, the place, the situation forbid it. | re-
spect the traditions that require only to speak of
those which elevate US all. Again / thank you for
your kindn So and the enthusiasm of your greetings
Tremendous eheering.l
Garfield then withdrew General Arthur

with those assembled to do honor to General
Garfield, and that he had not intended MAX

their kind reception TO them, and introduced
General Logan. who made a biief speech, and
was followed by Edward Pierepont.
Coniliing and the Republican inference.
NEW YoRg, August 6sh.-The Times says,
Conkling was conspicuoasiy absent froai the
Republican Conference yesterd-y!, Enough |
sundry politicians, who are Conkilng's men |
first and Republicans afterwards, actively |
particiP~ted IN the proceedings. II is not to |
be presumed that the New York Senator |
held aloof from the proceedings of yesterday |
because of any lack Of principles which are at |
stake in the campaign, or Of any lack Of APP
prevail Of the candidates who have been
selected TO represent this principle. He has
given ample testimony Of his thorough ap-
probation of the Importance of the one
and the merits of the other. Conkling's avoid
ance of public association with the repre-
of the Republican party who as
sembled yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, was doubtless due to his sincere desire for
party harmony. The Senator has somewhat
IF talent for making enemies talent
which he did not fail to improve at Chicago,
and it is but natural that he should carefully
avoid any occasion to reopen the wounds in
ficted on party rivals, were it only by his re-
appearance as the leader OF the New York
This scrupulous regard for
The feelings of others argues well for the tact
md self-sacri6cing effort which Conkling is
likely to carry into the canvass. Garfield
will doubtless leave New York thoroughly
with the magnanimity and disinter-
sickness of our senior Senator.

LITTLE Rock (Ark.), August 6th.-Fur-
her reports from Fort Smith of the serious
roubles at Mnscagee, Creek Nation, between

lead and Ross, who obtained promise of
suspension Of hostilities if the thirteen Greek
negroes were delivered to the Cherokees by
Thursday moruing last. A white man was
exported killed on Tuesday last, which will
equire the interference of the Federal au-
horities.
