TOE GRAND OVATION TO THE PRESIDENT
MR. LINCOLN'S bPmscii.
Secretaries Seward, Slanton, Fes
senden, and Utiles, and Attor
ney General Dates Serenaded.
Last evening, the city of Washington wit
nessed a magnificent spectacle a spontaneous
nut poarlug of the people to congratulate the
Tres Went and member! of hit cabinet upon the
.triumph of the Union cause in the late Presi
dential election. At 8 o'clock crowds of men
and women began to throng the space In front
ol the Executive Mansion, and towards nine
o'clock the protection of the Union political
tint of Washington, Georgetown and Glee-
fcoro', which had formed In Uinta ilrcct and
paraded through Pennsylvania avenue, began
to arrive.
Several banda of martial mualc and two lond
peaking 12 ponndera furnished the inspiring
Bounds by which the procession marched, and
when the whole assemblage was gathered in
the President's grounds, the "Uall Columbia"
and "Star Spangled Banner" were emphasized
with artillery.
The scene aa viewed from the windows of
the White Ilonse was a splendid one. Such a
aca of upturned faces" never before greeted a
President at that spot. A gentleman present
2n the White House who has attended every
demonstration of the kind during the last
thirty years, declared that he never saw so
many people gathered there before. Every
face was visible In the bright moonlight, and a
more joyous and enthusiastic throng was nerer
seen.
When Mr. Lincoln appeared at the centre
wlntlnw, a shout went up to the welkin as If
overy voice in tho vast assemblage was blended
Jnto one. 80 hearty and unanimous was the
greeting that the people seemed to spiak
through one throat. As soon, however, as the
Treeldent essayed to speak, the assemblage be
came aa silent aa a cloister, only giving utter
nee to their feelings at the telling points In
the speech, Mr. Lincoln then addressed them
as follows:
Tni president's speech.
Friend and FtlloCitlumi 1 It has long been
grave question whether any government not
too strong for the liberties of lis people can be
svtrong tnovgh to maintain Us own existence In
srreat emergencies. On this point the present
rebellion brought our Republic to a severe lest;
and a Presidential election, occurring In rcgu
lar course during the rebellion, added not a lit
tle to the atraln.
If the loyal people united were put to the ut
most of their strength by the rebellion, must
they not fall when ditutIt and partially para
lyzed by a political war among themselves t
But the election was a necessity. We cannot
nave free government without elections; and if
the rebellion could force us to forego or post
pone a national election, it might fairly claim
10 have already conquered and ruined us. The
Btrlfe of the election Is but humsn nature prac
tically applied to the facts of the caso. Voices
In the crowd ''That's so." What has oc
curred In this case must ever recur in similar
cases. Human nature will not change. In any
future great national trial, compared with the
men of this, we shall have as weak and as
alrong, aa silly and as wise, as bad and as
good.
Let us, therefore, study the incidents of this,
as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and none
of them as wrongs to be revenged.
But the election, along with Its Incidental
and nadesirable strife, has done good too. It
has demonstrated that a people's government
csn sustain a national election In the midst of
a great civil war. Enthusiastic cheers. Until
now, It has not been known to the world that
this waa a possibility. It shows also how
sound and how strong we still are. It showa
that, even among candidates of the same party,
be who Is most devoted to' the Union, and moil
opposed to treason, can receive most of the
people's votes. Long-continued applause.
It shows also, to the extent yu known, that we
have more men now than we had whn tho war
began. Gold la good In Its place, but living,
brsvt, patriotic men are better than gold. Ap
plause.
But the rebellion continues: and cow that
the election Is over, may not all, having a com
mon Interest, reunite In a common effort to
save our common country ? Cries of ' Yes,"
"Good." For my own part, I have striven,
and shall atrlve, to avoid placing any obstacle
la the way. Bo long as I hare been here, I
have not willingly planted a thorn In any man's
bosom.
While 1 am deeply sensible to the high com
pliment of a re-election, and duly grateful, as
I trust, to Almighty God for having directed
my countrymen to a right conclusion, ss I
think, for their own good, It adds nothing to
my satisfaction that any other man may be
disappointed or pained by the result, t Ap
plause. J
May I ask those who hare not differed with
me to Join with me In this same spirit towards
those who navel
And now, let me close by asking three hearty
cheers for onr brave soldiers and seamen and
their gallant and skilful commanders."
Mr. Lincoln's call was responded to with
cheers that would bare rejoiced the hearts of
the soldiers and sailors of the country, could
President's announcement that neither of the
Secretaries were present, the procession moved
oirtowsrd Secretary Seward's house.
The bsnds having played some Inspiring
airs, tho Secrets ty of State appeared at an
upper window, and was greeted with three tre
mendous cheers. He spoke as follows
sbcretart reward's BrBscn.
FfLtow-Cinzais: I thought I would wait
until all the crowd came up, but I fear If 1 did
I should have to wait until morning. Most of
you are good Christians; I know this, because
I know mostof you are Union men. Ton may
remember that, once npon a time, St. Paul was
tried In his own country, and took an appeal
to Ctvsar. Ho went from Jordan across the
Mediterranean to follow up his appeal. After
being shipwrecked at Malta, and encouutcrlog
all manner of dangers at Malta, and by sea and
bv laud, he landed at Tlvoll, the hot-springs of
Naples. Thence he proceeded to Rome. When
he reached the Applsn Forum, the place of
three taverns, wimin me snourns, ne wss re
ceived by the brethren, who came out to meet
him. There and then he thanked God for his
safe delivering.
Bo now I, after being tossed about upon the
tempest of secession for three years, have at
last got to the Applsn Forum. Just as I hrve
arrived In sight of my destination, and the vic
tory, the brethren have come out to meet me.
With due reverence. I thank God. and I hone
you will all take courage for the rest of the
way,wnicn union wm oe nut a snort journey.
Our old brethren of the South, who used to
meet us here at the capital, and with whom we
usod to have some verv feasant times, have
aought to setup a poor rickety government
ana a congress 01 meir own. 'ineyaia mis
because they were afraid wo would abolish sla
very. On theflrit Monday of this month their
Congress met at Richmond to abolish slavery,
for two hundred thousand blacks to fight, that
they might keep up the rebellion.
uur own congress win meet on the flrst
Monday of December.lhlrtv davs after, not for
the purpose of abolishing slavery for two hun
dred thoussnd, but, If I do not mistake them,
to stamp the sanction of a constitutional enact
ment upon the Presidential emancipation pro
clamation or 1803. Great enthusiasm, aud
shouta of approbation wero numerous and
prolonged. 1
Mr. Seward, referring to the prolonged cheers,
saldi You seem to bo very unanimous upon
this point. It msy seem strange to some that
you snouia no so. iiut 1 believe something
still stranger than that: within three years the
people at Richmond will be Just as unanimous
as yon now are In hearty approval of this mea
sure 01 emancipation.
With the Democrats we should be friends.
They have voted against us we have voted
against them. If they are now willing to cry
quits, it would be well to n fleet that, all thlncrs
considered, we may have Judged them rather
narsmy in some respects. 1 Believe mat perfect
harmony can soon be restored, not only
throughout the free States, but throughout all
the Union.
I think so, because when I came on to the
stage, not long after the close or the revolu
tionary war, 1 heard my father and friends and
neighbors talking about what a large cumber
of torles there had been actively engaged dar
ing that war, and denouncing them severely;
and I remember that within three years they
had all disappeared, aud I could never under
stand where they had all gone. So, after the
war of 1SV.J, when I waa old enough to remem
ber distinctly who figured for and against the
Government, the Democrats used to csrry the
elections against the Federalists, on account
of their course In the war, as New York was
carried in lb02. Three years after the war all
the people claimed to have been In favor of the
war. mcreiore, my juagmenicow is that all
the people will soon come together; and that
when the stars and stripes shall again wave
over Richmond, the rebellion will go down, and
within three years you win nave to look mighty
hard to find a secessionist.
Our opponents have said the war la a failure.
Without accepting their Idea that It waa watred
only for the abolition or slavery, we may note.
as evidence 01 iu not ueing a lauurc, inai in 1
the first year or Its existence the slate trade
was aoonsuea, in tne secona, me negro was
brougbtup tc the level or freedom, and slavery
was abolished In the District of Columbia; and
now In the third year, Maryland has been made
free.
K they still thought It a failure, they should
have another proof to tho contrary when the
next Congress met and abolished slavery, as
they would certainly do.
when the rebellion was suppressed, slavery,
the onlv element or discord amone our People.
would cease. It would not be the fault of the
Administration If they did not establish an era
of good feeling. The re election of the Presi
dent had placed him beyond the paleorhuman
envy or detraction, as he was above human
ambition all would-soon learn to ice him, as the
speaker and the audience had seen hhu, a true

before the war an officer In tbo United States
Navy, and nas stationed for several years in
Chelsea. He has many acquaintances In Bos

would take Dis place witn v asmngton, Jeffer
son, and Adams, among the benefactors of his
country and tho human race.
Here Mr. Seward paused, while loud and
prolonged eheers went up from all parts or the
audience. He then concluded as follows;
I advise you to go and see the Secretary or
the Treasury and the Secretary or War, and
seep mem in a good uumor, lor 11 tne secre
tary of the Treasury should fall us, we mlpht
"come to icriei." and 11 me secretary 01 war
should continue as much Indisposed as he has I
been for a few days, 1 should be seriously ap
prehensive as to what might become of ns.
You cannot do any better than also to call and
stlrup my excellent compatriot, Gideon Welles,
and tell him, IfU Is possible for him to cIobo
np the port of Wilmington, he will thereby
save mt much trouble with our foreign rela
tions. Loud cheers and laughter. j
The crowd then went to the home of the Sec
retary of the Navy, where they heralded, by
loud and long cheers Tor ballot triumphs and
monitor victories, the purport of their visit.
The Secretary finally made his appoarancc,
and, having been introduced by Mr. Clcphane,
acknowledged the compliment or the call and
signified his supreme delight at the verdict of
the people. Ho was followed by Maj. Gen.
Ord, who Is at present the Secretary's guest.
Gen. Ord's remarks were brier but exceedingly
pithy. Ills advice to the people was, that "a
long pull, a strong pull, and a pull together,"
should be made to suppress the rebellion, and
the election has fully demonstrated that this
would be done.
Secretaries Stanton and Fcasenden were also
visited. The former was Indisposed and did
not appear, but announced to Mr. Clephane
his thanks for the call. The latter was absent
from his house.
The crowd then wended their way to the
residence of Secretary Usher, and, w route
thither, tarried awhile at the house of Colonel
Ekln, of tho Cavalry Bureau, who was honored
with a serenade by the Glceboro1 cavalry dele
gation. The Colonel made a very fitting
speech In acknowledgment of the compliment.
The residence of Secretary Usher, on F street,
between Sixth and Seventh, was afterwards
visited, but an announcement being made that
the Secretary was absent, the Attorney General,
Mr. Bates, who lives near-by, was then made
the recipient of a call. The Attorney General's
speech was characterized by elaborate thought,
being a panoramic comment on the counlry'a
perils, ihe avoidance of which, by the people'a
right In the past, promises, by the recent sub
lime expression or the country's will, security
In the futuro against all attempted disintegra
tion. The crowd then dispersed, after cheers for
the Attorney General, and the clubs proceeded
to tholr head juarters.
The exercises of the evening wero Inter
spersed with music by the bands In attendance,
Surireon Charlton expresses full confidence
that his captivity will last for only a cry lim
ited period, bcucving mat tue v noio auair w 111
terminate as dU tho seizure of Mason and Bll
dell three years ago. If the demands which
he thinks will be made bv the Brazilian Gov
ernment sre disregarded by our authorities, he
looks for so Indorsement or the claims by the
Governments or Great Britain, France aud
Spain, In such a manner as to compel com
pliance The rebel officers profess a complete
IndlUercnee as 10 me result 01 esterases eicc

Burccon Charlton estimates that the Florida
has steamed over forty thousand mile since
she left Brest, not having spent ten days In
port In nine months. During her career she
has captured about forty American easels.

Worthy of tho trust.
The gallant men of our navy and of our army,

their tight. In tho came of tho officers and
men of our glorious navy, whose exploits need

THE ITTORNBT OBNERIL'S SrEECD.
Gentlbmbm My condition Is perhaps the
most forlunato of any man that I know of, be
cause I ba c tearccly anything else to do than
to thank people for tho good they do mc.
Laughter Some people complain of hard
ships and dls tress; and we have seen our coun
vi rUucsd within the last four years to great
rxtrcmltleB, despair and suffering, and we still
behold this suffering before us; but I Individu
ally have been very fortunate. Bat while this
istl.ocase nlth myself, I rejoice ns much as
.my man tin with the joys and sorrows of my
eountry.
You havo assembled to-night for tho pur
pose of rejoicing at tho prospect or better
times. Applause. You, indeed, have cause
for rejoicing. We have passed through a se
vere ordeal, but we now see a gleam or hope.
We see that there Is a better heart In the Re
public, and believe that again we shall rise and
nourish as our fathers did before us, and that
by firmness of resolution and force of arms
this country will again bo knit together and
united in an Indissoluble bond. Applause.
But I must not attempt, fullow-cltlzens, to
speak to j ou many minutes to night, as I am
suffering from a severe cold.
I rejoice with you with all my heart over the
great fact you have met to celebrate, and I
thank you for the honor you do me in calling
upon me after your visit to the Chief Magis
trate, who has no doubt cheered your hearts
with eloquent aud patriotic words. 1 can now
sec rising rapidly that spirit which, clevatlog
us with new hope, will derma the adversary
of the nation, until we shall once more witness
peace, order and law firmly ro established un
der tho authority of the legitimate Government
of this country, such as our fathers decreed to
ns, and which we are bound to transmit to our
posterity. Applaim-. The Republic will still
live, and I ti Jst its life will be perpetual. Ap
plause the srEEcn or col. ekiv.
Among the good speeches made was that by
Col. James A. Ekln, of tho Cavalry Bureau,
who was serenaded at his house on the corner
of K and Twelfth streets. Ills speech was
loudly applauded, and the following Is an ex
tract made by our reporter :
Fbllow-Citibns. You will please accept
my acknowledgments fur this compliment. It
is gratifying to see you under such auspicious
circumstances. We have passed through an
exciting political canvass, and we meet this
evening to rejoice o era victory unparalleled
In the history of tho country, and which Is of
equal importance to any achieved by the bravo
and gallant forces of the Union, from the
tallnirof Fort Donelson to the capture of Alt
lanta.
Iu no former contest were the Issues so plainly
and distinctly slated. On no former occasiou
were they so fretl) discussed and ao thoroughly
understood; and the country has, by a vota
almost ucaulmous, declared In favor of the
glorious and subllmo principles enunciated by
tho great Convention which assembled at Balti
more. 1 no vcroict 01 me pcopio nas ucen ren
dered. Ihe nation has declared Its confidence
tn Abraham Lincoln, with what earnestness
you esn bear witness.
The people, from Maine to California, have
proclaimed. In language that cannot be mis
understood, that the rebellion shall be put
down, aud that liberty shall rclgn supreme,
scattering Us blessings far and wide through
out a land consecrated to freedom.
Have mo not, Indeed, cause to rejoice? Halle

In congratulating you upon this auspicious
result, or which historians will spesk in pol
ished hrssc, and wonder that, In ihe midst of
a rebellion of tuch tremendous magnitude, a
vlcton so peaceful, so grand and decisive
should have been achieved by tho ballots of a
free and Intelligent people, may I cot express

WisuinotonCity iNDimPKOsi-ECTs. The
feebleness of this municipality Is shown In a
Presidential crisis. Its brightest aud inoct In
fluential residents are to a great extent but en
camped within It. There arc hence but few
home-like residences. Trees, shrubberies and
lawns are not cultivated in and around it. The
earth has a nude surface, and in sunny seasons
tho atmosphere is pervaded with Its floating
nnriiflca. Wa ire encamped for quo. two.
three, or at moBt,wllh any confidence, fur four
years. When, with tho blessing of heaven,
peace and prosperity shall return to the nallou,
the galea of its capital will be open to Industry
and enterprise, and mere win couioauiuereaBu
of population, rendering the stable residents so
numerous, relatively to the transient personnel
of the Government, that the ebb and flow of the
latter will no longer bo felt 'I hen will begin
the prosperity and tho beauty of a city adapted
bv nature for the attainment or excellence In
each. When tbo crisis or the present tempest
ahall have paseed. and clear sk vs shall over
spread and surround us, fortunate will be the
possessors of sites for dwellings within the
rlages, no doubt; also, for his shot and shell
and provision! but ho has missed an opportu
nity that may not occur again In his lifetime
t3have destroyed a powerful piratical craft at
sea. Had he possessed tbo hardihood to have
lightened Us irsBclby overy possible means,
when ho had discovered tho true character of
tliecliesc, he might havo Immortalized him
self. He carries Un big guns and tho pirate but
two, and ho tould havo pitched overboard suf
ficient dead weight to have overhauled tho
pirate.
Of course, officers are drilled Into the belief
that they must preserve their batteries, and
that Is the reason why they do not catch vessels
at sea. Admiral Porttr'a father ravaged the
Indian Ocean, destroying the British commerce
there almost entirely. He was chased by tho
brlllsh navy for months, and his privateer was
finally destroyed In the harbor of Valparaiso,
lying at anchor, as the Florida was when cap
tured. And the British wero always obliged to de
stroy privateers In neutral harbors, because
they couldn't catch them at sea) and tho reason
why they couldn't catch them we suppose to
mous for Lincoln.

HPEOlAL NOTICES.
JKKF. DAVIS MR9SAOE1. '
ine commemaoi inu mcomonu papers 01 . , suited c.n.mMnieatian
Wednesday upon Jeff. Dsvls message, which mst.Jnhn't 10 'i.e.No.1!. will b held at nusonla
inn, orncr " (uiiiimMni. im.i.ii.j
we published the next day (Thursday) after
noon, are full of significance. It appears that
tho rebel chief made certain admissions which
are considered heretical in tho highest degrco
by the slavcocrats and States rights men of
rebeldom. We copy below the paragraphs
which have called down tho Ire of tho rebel
press, with tho exception of JelT.'sorgsn, the
Richmond Stntintli
VVwftd mprelff as prone rtv. and therefore as
tho subjoct of Impressment, the service or labor
of the slave has been frequently claimed for
short periods In the coneti action of defensive
wotKS. ine stave, now over, ocara anoiuer ro
tation to the Bute that of a person. Tho law
of last February contemplates only the relation
of tho slave to the master, and limits the Im
pressment to a certain term 01 service, uut ior
tho purposes enumerated In the act, Instruc
tion In the manner of encamping, marching,
and parking trains Is needful, so that, even In
this limited employment length of service adds
greatly to the value of tho negro's labor. Haz
ard is aiso encountered in au tug jwaiuuna 10
which the negroes can be assigned to service
with the army, and the duties required of them
demand loyalty and zmI.
In this aapecttbe relation of person predom
Imtra en far at to rcrder It doubtful whether
tho private right of property can consistently
and beneficially be continued, and It would
seem proper to acquire for the public service
the entire property In the labor of tho slave,
and to pay therofor due compensation, rather
than to Impress his labor for short terms: and
this the more especially as the effect of the
present law would vest this entire properly In
all cases where the slave might bo recaptured
after compensation for his loss had been paid
to me private owner.
Whenever the entire properly in tho scrvlco
of a slave la acquired by tho Government, the
question Is presented, by what tenure he should
bo held. Should he be retslned in servitude, or
ihotdd hU emancipation bt held out to him at a re
ward for faithful strvlee, or should It be granted
at once on the promise of such service T and If
emancipated, what action should be taken to
secure ior tne ireeoman tno permission 01 me
State from which he was drawn to reside within
Its limits af.er the close of his public service ?
The permission would doubtless bo more
readily accorded as a rncird for past faithful
service, and a double mottve for tealou ditctiarge
0 (fifty would thus be offered to those employed
by the Government, their freedom, and the
gratification of the local attachment which Is
so marked a characteristic of the negro, and
forms so powerful an incentive to his action.
The above passages In Jeff.'s message are
considered Incendiary In the highest degree by
tho State rights and slavery oligarchs. Tbo
doctrines they teach are entirely subversive of
the "peculiar institution.'
To assume that the confederate government
has the right to take alaves from tbo States
and cmanctpsto them, and, worso than all, to
assume thst emancipation wonld bo an Incen
tive to aen Ice, a boon, a reward it is mon
strous! preposterous! Such doctrines admit
ted by slave dealers would be suicidal, ruinous.
Ilellef tor Paroled Soldlera,
The United States Sanitary Commission have
sent an agent and a stock or its supplies with
each vessel or the fleet which has gone to 8a
vannah to bring our paroled men North. The
Commission lias also made arrangements to
alleviate the sufferings of these men upon their
arrival at Annapolis. Large invoices of stores
will be sent thero from New York, Baltimore
and Washington, and the force of relief agents
Increased according to the largely augmented
demand for their valuable eoi vices. Combs,
handkerchiefs, towels, and many other articles
not furnished by the Government, will be dis
tributed among tho men In large quantities.
Arrival or Mr. BottV Daughter. Tho
daughter of John Minor Botta arrived In this

Depreciation of Confederate Money.
The chief dlfllcultv f be apprehended in
connection with our finances results from tho
depreciation of the Treasury notes, which
seems Justly tobe attribute! by the Secretary
to two causes: redundancy In amount and want
of confidence In ultimate redemption; for both
of which remedies are suggested that will com
mend themselves to your consideration as being
practicable as wen as cuicient.
A REM EOT SUGGESTED,
The main features of the plan presented are
subRtantlallv these: First. That the faith of the
Government be pledged that the notes shall
ever remain exempt irom I xa on. Becond.
That co Isbuo shall bo made beyond that which
Is already authorial by law. Third. That a
certain llxM portion of the annual receipts
from taxation durlngthe war sha'l beset apart
specially for the gradual extinction or the out
standing amouni untu ltsnau uava ueon re
duced to tin.OO.OOO; and Fourth. Tho pledge
and appropriation or such proportion or the
tax In kind, and for such cumber of years after
the return of p- .ce, as shall be sufficient for
tho final redemption of tho entire circulation.
The details of tho plan, tho calculations on
which It Is based, the efficiency of Its opera
tion, and the vast advantages which would re
sult from Its success aro fully detailed In tho
report, and cannot be fairly presented In a form
sufficiently condensed for this message. I doubt
not It will receive from you that earnest and
candid consideration which Is merited by the
Importance of the subject. Extract Jrom Jeff.
