General Grant at Utica
UTICA. Oct. 25.-Gen. Grant was wei
coined by an immense concourse of peo-
pie, estimated at 10000 He presided
over one of the three mass meetings, and
spoke as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS OF UTICA: Under
no circumstances will detain you long,
hOarse that l can scarcely speak, shall
detain you even less time. / came here
to preside at u political meeting; it is
nearly new business to me, and If i'll
was not for the earnestness / feel for
The cause which agitates the public mind
ut the present time, I should con-
iinue a custom which have followed for
forty years-that is, in not taking part
in political meetings-but this coun-
try has suffered so much in blood and
treasure to uphold the flag of our union
and maintain the best form of gov
eminent that has ever been devised
for men, that it seems TO me that could
not bear the idea of seeing the country
in its legislation and all its branches
turned over to party-cOmposed in equal
parts of those who recently tried 10 de-
stroy it. (Applause.) We do not advo-
cate the principles of the Republican
party because we believe that they are
for the good of the Republicans alone,
and to the prejudice of the interests of
the opposition party, but we sustain
them at this time because we believe
they are the best for all parties. We be-
lieve that the Democrats are just asmuch
interested to-day in the success of the
party as the Republicans OF
the United States are. We believe.
further, that the southern states lately in
are just as much interested in
the success of the Republican party. We
all know that there IS no man in
the south who is not privileged to
come and settle among us in the
north in any section and retain his POI
lAical view, and at the same time prose
cute his business, whether he is a profes
sional manmechanic or what not. A
man has not the same privilege
in the south, and fine goes there to prose
cute his business, he must be quiet on all
political subjects of great weight-in
other words, the carpet Dagger Is not

want to see al: of this changed. / N.Y.
self, am from northwestern state. We
are all carpet baggers in that section.
The whole of it has been built up in the
lifetime of many here present, and see
the result of carpet-bag settlement in the
northwest. The whole of il, out of
which has been grated five or six fine
states, is the gift of one old slave state
See the prosperity and thrift that
has been brought TO the new
states by these carpet baggers. They
built up our Cincinnati, our Chicago, our
Detroit, our indianapolis, our Cleveland,
and hundreds of smaller towns of great
prosperity. WIN the same privileges
extended the carpet-baggers, the growth
that has been seen in the northwest
would have been seen ere this in the
southern states. We claim that no great
can overtake these until
every citizen of every state is regarded
as citizen of the United States, no mat
ter where he goes, and with the privi-
leges of proclaiming his political prin-
ciples without molestation. Now,gents,
! know you will hear so much more
than can say on this question and hear
it so much better said, that will say no
more, but introduce as the next speaker
your eminent townsman and statesman,
Roscoe Conkling. Senator Ccnkling
then addressed the meeting.
Grant at Syracuse
SYRACUSE, Oct. 26.-Gen. Grant had a
grand reception here to-day. At the
mass meeting this afternoon, he spoke
ss follows:
CITIZENS OF SYRACUSE: I am here

conveyed to me through your committee,
