tho citizens of Montana territory now in
Washington city called or. the President.
R. M. Pinney, Esq., U. S. Marshal for
the territory, Chief Justice Hosier. Gen-
eral Rarrowfjj and twenty-five-oi- thifty4,
oiuora, were among me number.
Mr. Pinney addressed tho president

nation, a pti.-u: ! 1 e.-c-.-tthat totinl
mind, tliat geneial kuowlelge, that Crta -and
patriotic devotion to tho real iutr-(
esls anJ welfare of tho whola country '
whicli aro necessary to carry it safely
over tho ocean of political apecolation
and debate. We attach do great impor
tance to this asseveration of our feelings
in relation to yourself, but wo should be
doing injustice, to ourselves, injustice to
the people of the territory .of Montana,
and a'.oold merit their severest censure if
we did not aar that we firmly believe
that if you met with a cordial and gen
erous enpport on every nana, tins nation
would "come forth from tha present
political a wis a stronger and better na
tion, prepared to take a higher stand and
do a nobler work on tho platform of his
tory than has ever yet been allotted to
any nation of the earth. Moutana kas
scarcely had a two-yoirs' political exist
ence, and already numbers fifty thousand
inhntiitants. Places of habitation and of
business are dotted all over our fertile
valleys, and our numerous thorough
fares are constantly trembliog ..with " the
crush cf merchandise. The gold and
silver, which the Almighty bad long
kept hidden and garnered in our hills
and ravines, have been revealed or dis
covered at a time when the nation needs,
new channels of flowing wealth to sup-
ilv her treasury; and Alontana posses
ses, as well as her mineral weakh, all
agricultural resources so well calculated
to make her early populous and powerful.
At tho same time, we are not unmindful
of tho vast importance of promulgating
correct political tenements. We believe
that we are starting tight, and will be
s'arting right, if we advocate zealously
those great political truths which you
have .proclaimed to this country and to
(be world, and which wo understand to
lit.- at the foundation of ail good govern
ments. The PresiJent leplieJ as follows :
(jentleuex: It is no ordinary pleasure fpr
ine to meet you here on this occasion and to
he;ir the sentiments you have announced. To
receive so large and respectable body of intelli
gent genilemeu from that remote region of the
country from which you come is extremely
gratifying lo me. In response, sir, addressing
Mr. 1'inuey. to the elogueul manner io which
you have espr esed the seutiroeats and feelings
of those you represent on this occasion, I might
om'.ent myseh with simply returning my thanks
for your kind expression.- Hul you have made
soma ulhiMGUs, lo which, umjer the vircuinstan
ce which Miriound u, 1 C.ihnoi be indifferent.
You have alluded to t'.e great principles of our
overuuienl having been enunciated by me in h
pipr sent a fborl time since lo the ongres of
the United States. 'The decimation by uwr of
those" principle waa not the renlt of huptofsek
It wiA the result of a tnoiougb and calm con-sid-
rHtion oftlio-e great truth which lie at the
foundation of ail free government. Those who
und -i-tood limn: truth, and Itave laid tlitio
down m their gli de, cannot fail lo understand
the doctrines enunciated in the uveaage. It is
not necessary to inquire whether they emaaalw
froiu this man or that man. Tho who under-.
stand aud believe in those principles, no matter
Irom wual standpoint they look at them, wiU
find ibemaelves iuvoluntarily, and impercepti
bly it may 'be, but surely coming together in
all great straggles that may take place in re-
gid to them; while those who disclaim thenr;
who are willing to repudiate them, and set them
at naught, will be found integrating and travel
ing in a divergeut direction. For this reason
there may bo loany now coming ogelbev- with
out any previous concert or arrangement, but
imperceptibly, because tbey agree on tha same
great principles. I think, geatlemeo, there is
no one who can mistake ibe great cardinal
principles that are laid down in that message.
They comprehend and embrace the principles
upon which the goveraineat rests, a ad upon
which, to be suc&aafaT, it m'tiet be administered.
I care not by wtptt name the party administer
ing tbe government, may be denominated the
uujoo party, tha republican party, tbe demo
cra'tic party, or what not no party can admin
ister tne government suoces.sto.Wy unless it is ad
miuistered upon the great' principle laid down
in that paper. You would meet with about the
same success io attempting to carry on the gov
ernment upon apy other principles than tbose
wtncu are IoumI id the constitution as you
would if you should take bold of a piece of ma
chinery that had been constructed and trained
to run harmoniously in one direction, and at
tempt by reverse action to run it io the oppo
site di rection. I say again that I think no one
cnu mistake tbe doctrine of that roeesajie. It. ,
i very easy for persons to misrepresent it and
to make assertions thai this, that, o the other -had
taken place, or will take p'laoe ; but 1 may
be permitted to say to vou on this occasion that
taking all my antecedent's, going back to my
advent into political life, and continuing down
lo the present time, the great cardinal princi
ples set forth ir that paper have been my con
stant and tnierring guide, After having gone
wimfsmbfrfcr
a ditlerent direction. Tbey will be my guide
from ibis time onward, and tkose wJio under
stand them may know where I shall always be
ound when principle te involved.
Ilere Tel 31 e say to you, in order to disabuse
l' public mind as far aa il w possible for an io-
dividual to do so. that my pabJio career is well
nigh done. Ibe sand of niy political glass bas
II mgb run out.. If I were disposed to refer
lo myself, I might trace my career back to the
log cabin, then an alderman and a mayor ia a
illage, then throughout both branches of loo
state legislature, then for tea consecutive years
in the national house of representatives, then
ibrongh the gubernatorial chair of tbe Senate
of ibe United State, thee provisional governor,
wiia,a slight participation 10 military attain.
ihen rie-preside and eow ia this poaitioa I
occupy before you ; and bow in this position, if
I can be instrumental in restoring the govern
ment of the United Rules, in restoring to their
' UruA-pcttition in the Union those Stale w Lose
