SPEECH OF IIO.W tVM. Jl. SEWA1ID.
Citizens of Boston, of Mossuchusetts :?I
have heard from the honored Chief Magistrate
of your State, inv excellent and esteemed
friend,your explanation. Something, hoVuvcr,
seems to me to be due fronnnyself, to you and
to the country, for the unexpected surprise
which lias overtaken 111c. It is so contrary to
the habit of i uy whole life to be arrested on a
. journey [laughter] which had for its object but
the performance of a duty of friendship, and
was commenced and prosecuted, and hoped to
be ended io a manner entirely private, that I
am sure "some explanation will be expected of
me. Now, a*y explanation, fellow-citizens, is a

have committed a great blunder. 1 have
made a great mistake. My first mistake was
in snpposingthat it was safe to trust to a rail.
road for a conveyance through New England

[Laughter.] .1 found out my mistake only
~ when it was too Jatc ; for although i succeeded
Up-finding tire AVidc-Awakes at JJangor fast
asleep' im tho' aviudle of the day, yet I very
quickly discovered that they woke up quite too
soon for the convenience of a quiet traveller.
[Laughter} I certainly have not besought,
and have not desired, any demonstration of
r consideration at the hands of my fellow citizens.
There are many reasons why I prefer
to seek .the satisfaction of flic attempt to per?s^form
my duty, in my own conscience, and not
in the plaudits of my fellow men ; but it is
God's will that we must ho overruled and disappointed,
and I have submitted with such
graciousncss as I can. [Laughter.} Fellowcitizens,
I have endeavored, all along the road
** ?for this, I think, is the seventh or eighth
time that I have been called out to meet a
kind and cordial welcome on this day only?
^ I have endeavored to accommodate myself to
this reception by treating it .as a light and trivial
affair, trusting that those who have been
so exceedingly kind to me would believe, after
all, that there was gratitude, unexprcssed'and
strong, concealed under the face of a simple,
honest, good nature. ["Good."] Hut, fellowcitizens,
the case is altered when I come upon ,
,^-the soil of Massachusetts. I cannot say that I !
Lj# have a veneration, though I have a profound ,
J affection, for Vermont, llcr statesmen arc
not my teachers, her people arc but my equals.
Although I honor them and respect them, love
ibctn for their fidelity to the interests of their
country and to flic cause of justice and human- .
ity, tbey arc still but iny fellow laborers' in the ]
vineyard. I can say the some of New Ilampshire,
that I know noun of her statesmen or
\ Iter rs5nsVLo were WitTM1 V',u"JT?"ir
* ! the statesmen and sons of Now York. I can
* say the same of the State of Maine, which I
have visited?great and honorable as the works
are which have been done in those States by
the champions of human rights.. Iain their
equal; 1 have received their cordial welcome
as an expression of esteem and kindness. But
it is altogether different in the State of Massachusetts.
Here I. can play no part; I can
elfcct 110 disguisebecause,'although not a
son of Massachusetts, nor even of Ne w England
horn, I feel aud know it my duty to cont
less that if I have ever studied the interests of
..... ?,..n.trv ns.i! of humanity. I have studied
in the school of .Massachusetts. [Cheers and
^ cries of "Good."] If I have ever conceived a
' resolution to maintain the rights and interests
of these free States, in the union of the Confederacy,
1 learned it froiu Massachusetts.?
[Renewed cheering.] Jt is tweutv-two years
ago, uot far from this season, when a distin,
guished and venerable statesman of Massachusetts
had retired to his iiotne, a few miles in
the suburbs of your .city, under the censure of
his fellow-citizens, driven home to his quarters
by the peltings of remorseless pro-slavery people,
that I, younger then, of course, than I am ,
' now, made a pilgrimage from my own Lome,
. / which was not iuo! sted on my way to the j
' ;/ -Sage of Qtiiuey?[applause]?there to learn
I from him what became a citizen of the United !
States, in view of the deplorable condition of
the inteiligencc and sentiment of the countrv j
uuder its demoralization by the power of slave- i
ry. Aud there I received, and thence I have !
derived every resolution, every sentiment that
has animated and inspired me in the perform- |
ance of my duty as a citizen of the United j
States all this time. I know, indeed, that
those sentiments have not always been popular,
even in the State of Massachusetts. I
know that citizens of Massachusetts, as well as
citizens of other States, have attempted to
drive the disciples of that illustrious teacher
from their policy. Hut it is to-night that I
am free to confess that whenever any man,
wherever he might be found, whether lie was
.of Northern or Southern birth, whether he
was of the "solid men of lJoston," or of the
ili<rht men of Mississippi, has assailed me for |
the maintenance of those doctrines, I have j
sought to commune witn ins spu n, aim 10 icnin
lroin him whether the tiling in which I was
,engaged was well* and worthily done. What
a commentary upon the wisdom of man is given
in this single fact, that fifteen years only j
after the death of John Quiucy Adonis, the !
j>eople of the United States, who hitr/'d him <
from power and from jt.'ucc, arc ealiiny to the i
head of the nation, to the very scut from which !
he was expelled, ALrahum Lincoln?[ciitlmsi-!
astic cheers] ? whose claim to that seat is that 1
he confesses the obligation of that higher law? i
[applause]?which the Suye <f (Juincy proclaimed,
and th"t he a rows himself for weal or '
jc>, for life or death, a solaier on the side of
freedom and slavery. [Prolonged cheering.J? |
This, gentlemen, is my simple confession. 1 I
desire, now, only to say to yon that you hare j
arrived at the Inst stage of i/tis con/i.ci v jore \
you reach the triumph which is to inaugurate {
\ this great policy into fie government of the i
United States. [Cheer?.] You will bear yourJ
selves manfully. It behooves you, solid men
\ of "Boston, if you arc here?[a voice, "They ;
\ are"]?and if the solid men are nut here, then '
f \ the lighter men of Massachusetts, to bear ?>n;
ward and forward, first in the ranks, tlic ilng
of freedom. [Cheers.] I am somewhat turn'ed
about, I confess to you, by the strange lan.]g"ages
and dialects to which I listen here?
[laughter]?but I believe I shall speak accurately
ifi say I have been "down Bast," and I
bring you the assurance from that quarter, that
[life whole Iiast is coming up to this conflict
:.\v-ith the resolution, the determination and the j
confidence of victory. [Applause.] I should
'not allude to my own State if it were not that
some Democrats I have heard make strong
-s claims upon the popular vote in the State of
fF Xew York. I have not often been mistaken,
jp and 1 therefore venture t?> correct these n^
marks oi others?I laughter and applause]?hv
saying to you what I said to the Kepnblicati
of Maine, when they told mo it was modcrati
enough to say that they have twenty thousant
majority for Lincoln and iiamliu, hut they line
some uneasiness about the State of New York
that they might set down their majority ii
Maine at their own figure, and then multiplj
it by four, and they would approximate tin
majority in the State of New York. [Lout
cheers and cries of "good."] But 1 have tin
same testimony to give yon, substantially, ii
relation to all the* free States together, wit!
the assurance that, for the first time, this ban
uer will be unfurled in safety in many of tin
slave States. But let not your thoughts ant
expectations be confined to the present. I hit
you, jellow citizen.*, thai with thin victory cmna
the end of the power of slavery in the Un itcu
State/. [Cheers.] 1 think-1 max' assume that
a Democrat is a man who iiusintains the creed
of otic or the othrr branch of the Democratic
nartv at the nrcscnt dav. Assmnin?r that ii
be so, I tell </oii, in all xincviitt;, i'hut the lorn
Democrat in the United. Hti.le.-i is horn. [Greal
laughter and cheering. A voice?"I liope so.")
Gentlemen, it remains only to thank yon for
this kind reception, and .to express my best
"wishes for your individual health and liappi
ness, and -for the prosperity and greatness of
your noble city and interesting and honored
State.

The Fire Atarin Telegraph.
John X. Gamcwcll, Esq., of Camden, S. C.,
the active partner of J. X. Ganiewell 6c Co.,
General Agents and Patentees for the "Fire
Alarm and Police Telegraph," is now visiting
Charleston. Air. Gamewelj, as our readers
have been informed, has lately superintended
the erection of the machinery and apparatus
of the Police and Fire Telegraph in Xcw Orleans.
lie has since received most emphatic
testimonials of approval and satisfaction from
the municipal representatives of that city. In
St. Louis the Fire alarm has been longer in
operation and with equal success and eliieiency.
Many other cities have been visited and
some largo contracts are now pending, which
will receive cariy attention. In all cities visited,
whether contracts have been taken or not,
Air. Ganiewell has been received with eager
attention and with requests and calls for information
and for a practical exemplification
of the system, which has been given liberally
and to the satisfaction of sceptics. As he now
visits our city on oflicial invitation, it may be
that lie will be induced, if other engagements
in turn allow, to give us a second exhibition of
his plans. It will be remembered that he exhibited
and presented it.some years ago, when
it was generally approved and commended,
but with that generous and unselfish fear of
getting ahead of any other cities, which has
sometimes, if not often, actuated us, we de !.?

be so assailed.- Lie closed amid great

Killed isy Lightning.?A negro man, the
pioperty of Col. Allan Maefarhuic, was killed
l>y lightning on Friday evening last. lie, with
other hands, were at work 011 an embankment
in nn nnen field when the thunder storm came
tip. Tlie overseer directed tlie hands to throw
down their tools and set down on the embankineu.t,
and not to take shelter under the trees
near by. Scarcely had he given his orders,
before the negro was killed. The fluid struck
him on the head, passing down his face, splitting
his upper lip, but leaving him no other
mark, on the body so far as wc have heard.

Cen. Harney, in compliance with an order
issued more than two months ago, reported
himself in person to the Secretary of War on

of the Department of Oregon at the instance
of Lieiitcnanl-Ociicral Scott, for reasons already
familiar to the public in connection with
the San Juan question. If>s probable he will
be court-martialed.

,?The New Orleans papers come to us filled
' with glowing accounts of the immense Jtreekin
ritlge gathering there on the night of the 10th
inst., of which tlie Mercury has already published
a special telegraphic sketch. Speaking
was going on simultaneously from two separate
stands, and the enthusiasm seems to have been
unbounded.
The Ihltu says:
It was the largest meeting ever known to be
held in this city during the past ten years.
From Boyal to Bourbon street, along Canal
street, .was one dense mass of human beings, (
every one of whom vociferously cheered in lie \
cause of the true Democracy of the South |
The balconies along the streets were thronged \
with the fair sex, who lent their cheering pres- ,
ence to theimposingsccne, and gave demonstra- ,
tious of their patriotic feelings by the waving (
of banners, arranged for the occasion, and the ,
cjieers of their truthful voices in the good cause
of Breckinridge and Lane. We do not rcuiem- j
her to have seeu such a gala scene. Torches ,
in their brilliancy^bauners in thcir'eleganee of
design, and transparencies, bearing appropriate
illustrations Mid sentiment, caused this meeting
to be ilic best indication of the true and tindi- }
vided political sentiment of New Orleans.
Even the Picayune, the rabid Bell and j
Everett organ, admits the magnificent and im- j
posing uutmc of the turnout, which seems to ?
have been in striking contrast with the Doug- '
las fizzle wliicli took place in New Orleans sonic

BiiAiiMix Cattle i.v the Soi theux States.
?One of our neighbors, wiio has had much
experience in the importation of foreign breeds
of sheep and cattle, writes lis a note that seems ^
to us to contain some "useful suggestions. ^
Jte says that Bralnuin cattle were first in- *
trod need into tlsc United States about ten ) ears ,j
ago, and, as in tile ease of the mule, had to
work their way into the good graces of our ^
people, by positive proof of their real value,
There are no .-cattle, lie maintains, ou the face j"

and iliere is no question that, with high feeding,
the English have brought their favorites to !l
perfection, as fat cattle. 1
But -Brahmins, for active work, our friend 1
considers to be equaled only by that noble
animal, tiie horse; while for the quantity of
meat they yield tiicv arc.superior to the l>urliiini,
and their milk, for butter, is fully equal, t
in richness to the Aldernev, or Brittany as ]
some call them. Our correspondent thinks the t
Brahmin cattle to be particularly adapted to l
the Southern climate; and he expresses the i
hope that some of our planters, w ho had ex- 1
poricnce in the use of this particular stock, will (
he kind enough to lay before the public the i
results of that experience, especially in the c
acclimation of this useful animal. [

As soon as it became known that Mr. Kcitt

he expressed hi? confident hope that the South

A Lesson to Yoesisg itJoJi and Ladies.
The Buffalo Republic relates a case that
contains a moral for the consideration of young
people. Not many years ago two young men
were in that city; one of whom was the sou of
a rich man, and whose accomplish incuts consisted
in being able to dress well, and having a
rich father. On the other hand, the other of
the two young men was a mechanic, working
twelve hours in the day at his trade, and
devoting four hours to study and the improvement
of his mind. Both young men were in
love with a young lady who had wealthy relatioiisand
anticipations. The mechanic, although
for a time snubbed and rebuffed, kept on with
his attentions, determined to overcome her
prejudices, while the foptwistid his moustache
in anticipated success, and fairly captivated the
voiing lady with his expensive dress and habit.
The Mechanic kept on, however, until he overheard
her say that she would never marry a
man who was in the habit of doing something
for a living, when his visits were suddenly di.^

Aitolition <:!' Slavery in England.
It is a singular and instructive truth that the
greatest social revolutions which have taken'
i place in England have been effected so silently
and imperceptibly that no historian ventures to*
lix the preeiseperiod at which they were accomplished.
The only distinction which was ever
as strongly marked in our mother country as
that between Norman suid Saxon, was that between
master and slave. For a century and a
half after the battle of Hastings, the Normans
and Saxons were as distinct and hostile as two
different and independent nations, and yet the
fourteenth century had not passed before there
was a complete amalgamation of the antagonistic
races, whilst 110 historian has been able to
show the stages of tiie process by which the
hostile elements were melted down into one
homogeneous mass. In the same way, the
once powerful and pervading institution of
villenago was imperceptibly and noiselessly
effaced. It is said that some faint traces of it
were visible in the days of the Stuarts, but, up
to- this hour, slavery has never been abolished in
Enoloud. by ululate.

of moral and religious cause.*, both these remarkable
social revolutions arc assigned. It is
observable, howeydf, that the Church, which is
supposed to have exorcised the chief stgeDcyin
effacing distinctions of caste, never hurled
anathemas from her pulpits against the social,
evils which she sought to remove, but by theregular
development of an ecclesiastical system
which offered the sacerdotal honors to men of
every nation, and wliibh brought master and
bondsman on their knees before the same
spiritual tribunal, she accomplished a revolution
so gradual that no one knows when it began
or where it ended, and which could not have
been effected, and was never even attempted
by legislation, regulation uor physical force.

There is, according to my experience, nothing
easier than to avoid the skippers, and all'
other worms and bugs that usually infest and
often destroy so much bacon. It is simply to
keep your smoke-house dark, and the moth
that deposits the egg will never enter it. For
the pa?t twenty-live years I have attended to
this, and never have had my bacon troubled
by any insect. I have now hanging in my
smoke-house, hams, one, two and three years
old, and the oldest arc as free from insects as
when lirst hung up. I am not aware of other
causes lor the exemption of my bacon from insects,
but simply the fact that my smoke bouse
;< -iKvnvs km>t dark. JJeforc adopting thjs
plan, I had tried many experiments, but always
either without success or with injury to the
liavor of my bacon. I smoke with green hickory?this
is important, as the ilavor of bacon
is often utterly destroyed by smoking it with
improper wood.

We were favored yesterday with the first

much good, though the Cotton- plants and(

probable that not more than one-third of a

one-third of an average crop. This may"
be set down as a fixed fact by all interested in
Cotton. Hard times arc, of course, anticipated^
