That we approve of the platform of principles adopted by the said Con ven tiop ; K speaks in no doubtful sense, its litngnage is explicit and meaning clear The iasnes presented to the country are J .ink' UMfl llll nii.taknblv defined. and with J......I.T II I 0 a free and fair election we confidently be lieve they will be endorsed by a Urge ma jority of the people ; and with that en dorsement most come such a change in the administration of the National Government aa will restore the Conatitution and give peace, iharmony and prosperity to the country, aad eepccially to the down-trod-dent States of the South. 3d That it is our earnest desire and intention to bring about these wholesome and necessary changes by the peao-fal means of the ballot box; and all ctTorteto pioduco a contrary belief, coming from what qnarter they may, are but the tricks of interested partisana of a desperate po litical faction, bent upou perpetuating its power by any means and at all hazards.

General Frank lilair addressed an immense meeting this evening. His speech was principally devoted to the action of the rad cal party in the reconstruc tion of the South, and the record ot General Grant. He -' hj the Republicans, havlflg" lost confiJotw in the white people of the conntry, had restored to the support of the blacks ; that it wm from no lrlfre of the negro race ; that they enfranchis ed them, but only aa a, ..fenemo to maintain themselves in powtr. He said he htd nothing to say against General Grant personally; that his military services would ever be re me inhered with Dride. but that sin hn hud entered the arena of politi his acts, politically, were proper matt larc fur fin hlir criticism : that Grant had changed his views on the subject of reconstruction, inconsistently hav ing at the close of the war urged the immediate admission of Senators and Representatives of the Southern States, chosen by the people ot those States. He said the secret of the adherence of General Grant, Sheridan andoth er regular officers to the Radical par ty, is the tendency of that party, which has overthrown the preroga tives of the Supreme Court, and the Executive branch of the government, toward military despotism which be ing necesarily based upon military power would give consequence to prominent officers of the array. He said Irstory shows no party pursuing the course and using the means adop ted by the Radicals can live and re ceive the support of tbe people. Ho denied that the sentiments expressed in his letter or New Yerjc speech were revolutionary; that the people of the United States, ft he lastelec tioii, had repudiated ncgrojBiffrage, upon which was based thewhol re construction scheme : that to over throw by PROPER CONSTM TIQNAL MEANS the reconstrucTWi acts is bnt carrying ?ut the will of the people. In reply to a remarkfrorn i he crowd he said the Radical party have made coppeaheadism. Hon. G. M. Glick, Democratic nominee for Governor addressed the meeting, fob lowed by Colonel Charles W . Hlair, nominee for Congress, ana otners. Actions are immortal ; and our deeds now and their deeervinga here after must be the twin companions that shall walk it rnity hand in hand.
