/ tour among the towns to urge his fellow
democrats to sustain the action Of the
| special convention and "throw Hale over
| board"
/ This injustice to a brave men who had
/ CALAMITY stood by his convictions, fired
/ some Of the younger men Of the party.
In Exeter, Amos Tuck a young law
/ yer, said if John P. Hale was to be DO
/ litically Ostracised on account Of his Op-
position to slavery, he was ready to 90
with him. To this Mr.. Pierce replied that
he had met IN his traYelsloyer the state only
one other man who had talked that
way, and that was John L. Hayes Of
Portsmouth. Mr. Pierce was then
United States district attorney for New
Hampshire, and Mr.. Hayes was clerk Of
the United States court, and was also
chairman Of the Young Mems Democratic
Association in Portsmouth. To him,
therefore, NJ. Pierce first unfOlded his
views after arriving In Portsmouth IN the
course Of his tour.
But Mr.. Tuck and Mr.. Hayes called
meeting of independent democrats at
Exeter to sustain Mr.. Hale, and to Mr..
Hayes belongs the honor Of printing the
first democratic protest which Appeared
in New Hampshire against the extension
OF slavery after the letter Of Mr.. Hale.
This protest was in the form Of a speech
which Mr.. Hayes had attempted to de-
liver at a democratic caucus in Ports
mouth, and being suppressed by the
party leaders, he had printed and cir
culated it in the form Of a pamphlet.
Franklin Pierce's motives appeared in
the remark: ''EVe must throw overheard
Mr.. Hale, or we shall lose favor with the
southern men" Mr.. Pierce subsequent
ly became president Of the United States,
but Mr.. Hale did not suffer by adhering
to his convictions. He was not only re-
turned to congress at later period, but
was subsequently promoted to the
United States senate. Mr.. Hayes con-
nectiOn with these interesting events, OF
which there are now so few survivors,
has prompted him to embOdy them in
this pamphlet, entitled ga Reminiscence
Of the Free-SOl Movement In New
Hampshire" which VIII be preserved as
an important contribution to the history
Of that period. Hon. John P. Hale was
a great orator, as well as a man of pro
found moral convictions. In the trial Of
Theodore Parker for high treason at
Boston In abetting the rescue Of fugi-
tive slave named Shadrach. Mr.. Hale
was counsel for the defence, and In ad-
dressing the jury he said: ''John De
brees claims that he owns Shadrach.
Owns what? Owns a man! Suppose
John Debree should say that he owns
the moon and has an exclusive right to
its beams Would a Massachusetts,
jury find it so? And yet moons shall
wax and wane no more; the earth itself
shall crumble and decay, while the soul
Of the poor, hunted, prosecuted ShadEach
shall live on with the life Of God Him
self 1t was to this speech that Charles
Sumner referred in one of his letters,
when he said that it had been reported
to him by those who heard it as a speech
worthy of Curran or Erskine.

and all along when an eastern banner was
discerned hearty and prolonged cheers was
the response. New Hork,s bullet shot hags
were especially favored in being not only
heartily chs6red but reVsFently salutsd.
The veteran zOuaVes of Elizabeth created
genuine sensation, and were also Justify
cheered- The zOuaves have been presented
with a handsome silk banner by the veteran
guard. 1t was remarked that the delegation
from the southern states met with even
greater applause than did those from the
north, due TO a feeling OF sympathy that the
difficulties they had TO encounter during the
war were even greater than those of the
northern soldiers as the procession was
going up Market street the carriage in
which General Sherman was seated was
suddenly attacked by SIX handsomely
dressed young ladies, armed with baskets Of
flowers, who, with ringing cheers and laugh
ter opened IRE on the general, pelting
him with roses. The general gracefully
raised mis- hat, and amid the cheer of the
spectators bowed repeatedly in acknowledge
ment Of his defeat.
One unexpected result OF the procession,
and one which was very serious to many, was
the rush to the restaurants Immediately after
the parade was over. Three hundred thou
sand people, including the visitors, had been
standing from O'Clock a. m. to 3 O'Clock p.
N. without eating. As soon, therefore, as
the CRY went up 'tIt's all oVeEN the half fam
ished beings rushed to the restaurants, and
so great was the crush that within i've min
utss the prOprietOrB had to lock their doors,
as It would have been impossible for the
walters to serve those who had secured
places. Several cases of women fainting
from Hunger and fatigue are reported.
Those who had to wait until the
first rush was over made a descent
on the bakeries and street fruit stands and
cleaned up everything IN sight. To make
matters worse, most Of the large restaurants,
although having laid in large supplies, ran
out Of bread and meat, and as the markets
were closed it was found impossible to re-
71Ia H THAR IlarIaRa n Hnuinaa
were resorted to, and with such success that
every one managed to get something. As
the day was delightfully."- cool, no accidents
from heat have been reported. The parade
tonight Was the occasion of a magnificent
display, and the streets were packed with
enthusiastic spectators. The day closed with
a grand reception at the pavilion which
continued until a late hour.

SAN Francisco, August 3.-Never before
has 50 many people been seen on San Fran

numbers Of them were, Of course, CalifOr-

Army Of the Republic parade. Close esti-
mates place the number In line at u, 600
while $50, 900 others looked on. The time
occupied IN passing given point was two
hours and seventeen minutes, but as there
were frequent stops, and some Of long dura-
ton, the exact marching tins would be
about one hour and a half. The demand for
seats on Market street was so great
that s. was asked for standing room
on stands that had been erected,
and IN some cases the sum vas paid. From
the start 70 the finish the march vas e tri-
