Hancock's letter on Rebel claims was intended particularly for the northern trade; the oentiments were sound enough, but tho fact that the letter does not make itself very nu merous iu the newspapers of the south, where the dominant portion of the democracy lives, is sufficient proof of the object for which the epistle was called into being. As in Tildcn's case four years ago, It will not he sufficient. Gen. Grant presided at the great meeting at Warren, Ohio, on the 2Sth, and made hw first political speech, giving bis views at length on the Importance just at this junc ture of supporting and keeping the republican party in control of gov ernmental affairs.

He stated that any change in the ad ministration of the government could not but bo Injurious to all business and manufacturing inter ests of the country, for all the dan gerous elements in politics were In the democratic party, and commun ists were attracted to that party, feeliug that by its meant was the only chance of accomplishing their designs. Senator Vance of North Carolina upcs the mild term "scaling down," when icfeiring to the partial repu diation of tho state debt. Instead of the country being "Mexicanized," ready at any moment for repudia tion, revolution, anarchy and blood shed, let it be redeemed by free schools, unfettered political discus sions and the constant and equable euforceraeut of the laws. Instead of the methods of brute force (which the south has always practiced), let the intellectual method have sway. Then, repudiations of debt, iu whole or in part, will cease, even iu the south; more school houses will be built aud more churches ; there will be an awakening of all the better inetiucts, and a consequeut slough-1 iug of old methods in fact a regen eration of the political soul that has believed iu home rule, state-rights, nullillcation, secession and rebellion, uuder the specious plea of opposi tion to a strong central government. What the Republican party desires is a government whose benign sway shall be felt within all our borders aud by every citizen according to his capacity ; it desires every man's road to prosperity, physical, mental and spiritual, to be unobstructed; it desires a government strong enough to secure every man in his right ; a government strong enough to pun ish the obdurate wrong-doer, no matter whom he may be. rlhe in telligence, the patriotism of the country demand such a government, and, as the ideal, they will approach nearer to it year by year. No political party should by any means permit any presidential or other election to bo carried in tho United States by illegal votes. This is a country governed by laws both as it regards legal aud illegal voting, prescribing in each stato the qualifi cations of electors, aud these rules should govern all the- citizens. It should be the duty of every good citizen of the Union to guard the purity of the ballot-box in evory lo cality, and prosecute every man, from judges down to illegal voters, who may wilfully and knowingly violate the election laws. Already, politician begin to cry out "illegal votes." New York and Indiana are being mentioned as suitable places for the practice of this kind of fraud, in connection with pipe-laying of electors. It is the duty of all republicans throughout the Union to guard tho ballot-box from all frauds. It looks like a lane work to accomplish, b-.t a committee of republicans acquainted with the voters in each voting placo through out the Union might be authorized bofore tho presidential election, to be present at such places aud report all violations of law, and prosecute the same. With such a plan in successful operation we might oc casionally hear of a republican vote, now aud then, counted in Alabama. We should use every lawful means to protect tho ballot-box from fraud, as through it alone, when kept pure, cau our liberties be perpetuated. Sekatok CoNKMxa spoke at Cleveland, Ohio, on the 30th ult., to a large audience, notwithstanding the disagreeable condition of the weather. Among other things he slid: "The rebellion, which pro duced a procession of mourners wearing an inky cloak, and a pro cession of cripples of extraordinary length, piled up against the present generation a mighty debt, which in time must bo paid. Tho pensions mu6t be paid, and tho cost of main taining the government, all of which requires a vast annual revenue. Under the constitution, there were three ways iu which that could be paid, and of these modes, in the logic of history and experience, no one iu the north, with common senBe, dared advocate fully, with a view of carrying it out, free trade. The money to meet the current ex penses of the government and pay up the debt mtiBt not be got by crip pling the business and manufactur ing interests of the country. It wa asserted that the present tariff had crippled agriculture, but Conkling said he could readily provo that not to be the case, and proceeded to give illutratinn8 aud statistics in support of his arguments. The heavy south ern end of the democratic party lifted tho great northern end till it dangled in the air. Tho majority in the country shonld rule, and when the majority attempted it tho rebel lion resulted. The north furnished a majority of both people and prop erty, above the south." Five thonsand " people were at Cooper's Institute New York, on the ining of the 29th, to listen to the speech of Secretary Evarts, who was most happy in the delivery of one of tho best addresses of the cam paign. Read a brief extract : "Twenty-four years ago tho people trusted to a Pennsylvania democrat, Buchanan.; to-day it is proposed to you that you shall restore the gov ernment to auother Peneylvania democrat. Twenty years ago the people trusted the governmeuttothe republican party, born of patriotism and devoted to liberty. If next November the Pennsylvania demo crat is placed in power, it will show that the people are tired of patrotism and weary of liberty. But the peo ple will answer again as they have answered before. Never, no never. During the war every coward and politician in the north was found in the army of non-fighting traitors. But the republican party had decid ed that liberty should prevail, If it took the last dollar and the last man, and the people when the war was over, laid that the party that carried us through the war shall still cor duct the government. That part, expects to gain power no longer b acts of war. but by appealing to tl generous, confiding nature ot tl American people. But the peo see that the candidate of the deir cratic party is better than the p:u. itself, while they know that the re publican party has made liberty universal." Mecrctury FUh on Ourtleltl. The Hon. Hamilton Fish presided at the great meeting in New York on Friday night, aud here is what he said ot Garfield : Of Gen.Garlield prolonged cheers and applause. 1 can speak uith confidence, which an intimate ac quaintance of very mauy years and a close official relation during at least eight years of that time justi fies. No 'purer or abler man ever assisted iu the counsels of the nation. In private life exemplary, Tan aflec tionate, dutiful son, a kindjfather, a careful parent, a good neighbor, an honest, upright citizen, in public life ablo, farseeiug, and truthful. None doubt his ability ; none question his integrity; and although the neces sities of partisan politics and the asperities of tho canvass have called out attacks upon him, he Btands un stained, uncorrupted, and no better man can bo found. The Philadelphia Press comes to the poiut in this way : "We may safely challenge any man of the democratic party to name a single act to preserve the union or to restore our prosperity which the democratic party has not opposed. What part has it borne iu either of these great movements except that of obstruction and hostility? No tact of history is more clearly dem onstrable than this persistent and vic'ioub antagouism of the Demo cratic Representatives and organ ization to all the measures adopted to save the Nation and re-eatablish its business progress.
