THE IIEPCI1L1C.4. RALLY AT
HOIK. IlLlFFg.
Friday morning broke tlear but
windy, and fears were entertained that
the very disagreeable stage of the
weather would prevent many persons
from turning out, especially those from
a distance, and that the occasion would
fail to be as good as was anticipated.
Hut as the hours rolled Ly the wind
seemed to abate, and all loyal hearts
beat to hope we would have a good day
of it after all. Knowing that our great
standard bearer never once faltered
amidst storm or rain, shot or shell, we
felt it no more than a duty, in credit to
his untarnished example, to "rnlly round
the flag," despite the unfavorable greet
ings of old Boreas.
At about 9 a. m. the Plattsmouth del
egation formed in informal procession
at the Court House, and after the sig
nal "forward" was given moved on
ward to the seat of the occasion. Af
ter wending cheerily along thro the
valleys and over the hills for a few
hours we reached a point a little wes1
of town, came to n halt and joined the
Rock Bluffs and other delegations, wtio
were waiting impatiently for the Platts
inouth delegation to come up. and joined
in one grand procession.
At about 12 m. all was in readiness,
and the procession began to stretch out
its long length and march thro town,
headed by Mr. Clay Wolfe, who was
Chief Marshal, accompanied by his
assistants. Next came the John-on
Bro.'s Cornet Band filling the air and
the hearts of the loval masses with
their soul stirring music, while the
Democra'ic hearts were not quite so
exultant at the patriotic strain of some
of those good old war songs, such as
Rally Round the Flag, Poy.," and an
other of which the last two lines of the
chorus end 'It must be now de King
dom's eomin in de year ob Jubilo."
Thence came a large platform wagon
loaded with Iit'le boys, in the midst of
which was a representation of Grant
working at the Tanner' trade. Fol

each holding in hand a small Hag, in

ten little girls representing the ten or

named wagons were drawn by six
horses. And lastly, of the large wag

luge enough t accomm "dte many,
seats were erected in front of the build
ing, and all, especially the ladles, I be
lieve, were comfortably seated. Capt.
J. C. Cowin of Omaha, was called on
to deliver the opening speech. After
a few apologies on his inability to speak
in the open air when the dust was blow
ing in his face, he commenced his re
marks by addressirg.more particularly
the so.diers. His speech rwks one of
abili y and earnestness, which solicited
the admiration of a!! who heard it.
He clearly showed to the "Boys
Blue, who had served on the field as
he did, who endured the hardships o
a soldier's life, and who bore the bur
dens of .he southern heat and dint, and
also were called "Liner In hirelings
by the cowardly copperheads in the
North, and "yankee invaders" by the
rebels in the South, the impropriety of
voting for heymour and Blair, and the
propriety of voting for Grant and Col
fax. Hon. Hay ward of Nebraska city
spoke next, in which he made a telling
speech of a few minutes, in an expose
of Mr. Seymour. He f-tated that he
knew him (Seymour) from boyhood
but never knew any good of him. He
showed up clearly how Seymour got to
be Governor of New York, by keep
ing 80,000 soldiers, in the field, from
voting; hence securing for himself an
election to that worthy position by
majority of 10.000 'stay-at-home'
democratic votes. But when he sought
the position the second time the soldier
boys were at home and voted, which
defeated him bv alarre majority. hence
the propriety of a fishing tour" up in
to Minnesota sor his heaiiL. "Tiii
same Seymour " said the .-peaker, i:
now asking the loval neonle for their
votes." W ill we give them ? (cries of
no, never ) Mr. Redick now stepped
for ward and introduced to the audience
the Ikm. J. W. Chapman of Council
Bluffs. Mr. Chapman has many warm
friends in old Cass, and many of them
were his auditors. He was often in
terrupted in his opening remarks by
shouts of "give it to them, John" and
other similar expressions. He spoke
about an hour and a half with telling
' effect, discussing quarely and without
! gloves or, the issues of the day. It
would be useless, and is perhaps un
necessary, in attempt to give an outline
of his speech. He presented the fact
in regard to the two parties in such a
i-hape that it seem to us no reasonable,
sensible man who loves his country
could fail to understand them. John
s a good speaker, strong thinker, sound
reasoner, and is ai unalloyed in his
patriotism to the country as the sun
which chines at noonday in the heav
ens. After he left the fluor, the au
dience gave three cheers for Chapman.
Hon. J. I. Red.ck was repeatedly call

voice. However he favored the aud-

I pockets, and thousands without even a

good sound constitution, a good stom
ach, aood heart and good limbs and
a pretty good head piece, is rich. Good
bones are tetter than gold, tough mus
cles than silver, and nerves that flash
fire and carry energy 10 every function.,
are better than houses and land. It is
belter than landed estate to have had
address or the soldiers aud sailors the right kind of father and mother.

TO THE COIISTHT.
Grateful to Almighty God for being
permuted to assemble in this sacred
spot, we, the representatives of the sur
vivors of the millions uf Union soldiers
and sailors who fought against treason
in the recent war, reverently renew our
obligations to a rescued Republic and
a purified Constitution.
Gathering here in the great city pre
eminent among those commun ties dis
tinguished for their generosity and loy
alty in the darkest hours of our nation
al troubles, we do not come as partisans.
We meet to prepare to discharge the
new duties devolved upoo us iu a new
crisis more perilous than the conflict
from which we have just emerged,aud
to call upon our late comrades in arms
to cooperate with us again?l our old ad
versaries.
Inflamed by the same passions, led
by the same leaders, exulting in the
same name, these adversaries are now
projecting another conspiracy seeking
to recover by violent means, what they
have lost m their resort to arms.
We assembled in the interest of
peace alone. We propose no plans of
war. Taught by our own sufferings.
and by the sacrifices of our slaughtered
brothers, we keenly appreciatj the val
ue and uecesnty of peace. We know
that this great people, through all their
interests, long tor repose, yet we can
not deny that the present peril of the
Republic is even greater than it was
iu the darken hours of the rebellion.
In uch an emergency no Union sol
dier or sailor can hesitate. He will
remember that Horatio Seymour is em
phatically the leader of the new rebel-
lon as Robert E Lee was of the old.
He will remember that Horatio Sey
mour was nominated by a convention
entirely controlled by the officers and
politicians who plunged the couutry in
to civil war. He will remember that
the revolutionary part of the Demo
crane platform was devised and dicta
ted by a rebel general, as a condition
of the rebel support to the Democratic
party.
He will remember that the Demo
ratic leader., now full of sympathy for
the Southern rebels, never contributed
dollar to th public trea-ury during
the war ; never denounced the savage
treatment of the Union people of the
South or the Union prisoners of the
North, And never rejoiced over the
triumph of our arms.
He wi'l remember that the blue uni
form is a badge of disgrace in the South
nd that every Union soldier, from the
general sent to execute the laws to the
private in the ranks, has beeu, a rid
continues to be, the oljrct of the icices
ant assault and persecu'ion of the reb
el leaders. He will remember that.
ince the nomination of Seymour and j
LJi tir, Lnion men have been assns-ina
ttd by hundreds in the Southern States
BjI while these memories arouse:
righteous re.-entmen', there ars others
that inspire a noble gratitude. W
feel that we are indebted to the Repub
lican party for standing by us without
flinching through all our perils and prr
vations ; for voting us reinforcements
and bounties, and for conferring pen
."ions upon the widows and orphans of
our fallen comrades; for organizing
and controlling the great Saniiary and
Christian Commissions, and a thousand
oiher noble agencies of patriotic benev
olerce ; for bulling cemeteries for the
illmtrious dead ; for relieving all
branches of industry from taxation ; for
emorcing by con?lituiior.al prohibition
the perpetual rejection of the rebel
debt ; for consecrating by constitutional
guarantee the payment of our own na
tional debt, including the pensions and
bounties to our soldiers and sailors.
But, more than all, for responding to
our earnest appeal by nominating oui
beloved leader. General Ulysses S.
Grant, as their candidate for President
i.f the United States.
In view, tnerefore, of these hostile
preparations for a new rebellion, with
a profound sense of our obligations to
our country and toth Republican par
ty, we call upon every citizen who wore
the Union blue whether on land or ea
to cast his vote in the coming elections
for the Union State tickets, and
Grant and Colfix.
A l e 1 . , ,-,
ado lurmer. to mar alike tne sin
cerity and the efficiency of our solemn
declaration, we invoke our late comrades
in arms to set apart the election dav as
a period of remitting exertion and un
ceasing vigilance ; and we hereby for
mally announce that on the 13th dav of

ijoou oreeus auo bau breeds exist
among men as really ns among herds
and horses. Education may do much
to check evil tendencies, or to develope
good ones, but it is a good thing to in
herit the right proportion of faculties
to start with. The man is rich who has
a flavor cf wit and fun in his composi
tion. The hardest thing to get along
with in this life is a man's own self.
A cross selfish fellow, a desponding
and complaining fellow, a timid, care
burdened man these are all born de
formed on the inside. Their feet may
not limp, but their thoughts do. A man
of fortune, on the brink of the grave,
would gladly part with every dollar, to
ob-ain a longer lease of life. jVew

Uuring the war, the residence of
Mr. Forsyth, near Ogdensburgh, was
destroyed by fire with all its inmates.
The son of Mr. Forsyth, who wag in
the army when the distressing news
reached him, made application for a
furlough to return home, but the boon
was denied him by both his regimental
and corps officers. At last he had re
course to General Grant, who leaining
the facts, directed that a furlough be
granted. Mr. Forsyth says that though
a Democrat, hi will rcte for General
Grant, who never dedined the private
soldier any of his rights.

Ihe following characteristic speech
was made by Gen. Judso;i-Kilpairick
tr.e Light Horseman of the Potomac

reported in the JNew York Tribune of

opposition to carpet baggers, we wil
march down there with 500.000 carpet
baggers with knitting needles, and sew
every one of them up in shrouds. We
have been too generous. It would have
been better had every one of them been
swept into the Atlantic Ocean. They
denounced military rule when Congress
has withdrawn nearly all the military
from the South, and tl at too soon. We
have been too lenient entirely. When
we got the rebel down, we ought to
have kept him theie, until, with tear
ful eyes, he should have said, "Uncle
Si m let me up and I'll behave myself."
The speaker then, in speaking of the
finances of the conry, said that a
greenback dollar was now worth sixty
cents; but with the issue, as contem
plated by Mr. Pendleton, of Si. 000,-
000,000 it would be worth twenty cents
less than rothing. When people who
call themselves Democrats who hated

we crushed the rebellion and destroyed
the Democratic party now ask us to

up the recollection of a battle f iught

of these miserable cewards during the
war. Antietam. South Moun'ain, Gettys

but everything to us. We will learn

past. Can we forget that while we
were at the front there was a pitiable
band of traitors at home who called us
Lincoln hirelings. No. we will march
through th streets from now to Novem

cowardly faces. The election of Gen.
Grant will be a pledge to those who
have fought and thoe who remained
at home ministering to the wants of the
soldiers of protection and sympathy of
the Government of the United States.
To this let ti rally with the enthusiasm
that characterized us in the dav? gone
