Uetvveeii them there is a mass of citi7cns who am not eontiollcd by party discipline, and who now appear to bo moved to greater activity than usual by motives diirercnt from tho old party questions. Ono of the greatest peculiarities of this campaign is that the drift of pop nllucncp upon party managers and public speakers with regard to tho particular subjects to he discussed than thoo managers and speakers had on the popular mind with regard to the paiticular subjects to be con sidered. In coiiseqiicnco of this tho objective points of attack seem to have been changed several times by some of the party leaders during the progress of tho contest. The Demo crats have had repeated occasion to hang out signals of distress ot various designs and colors. On the the Re publican side we began first with a quiet uuinipnssioncd discussion of the present condition of things, its rela tion to our present and future public interests, and the reasons for or against a change. Then these consid erations seemed to.be overshadowed for awhile by somo of the old issues between different parts of the country, as they had grown out of tho war; but, finally the pressure of public sentiment brought bnck our discus sions again to the original point a calm consideration of the business as pects of the present situation. It lias tuned out t lint this is tho campaign not of politicians, but of tho business men of the country, and that the de cisive motive power is not party pas sion or prejudice, but common sense applied to public interests. There hns been a great deal of quiet think- intr dtirinc this p.tnm.iiirn. in cniint- ing rooms, in workshops, on railroads, I docs not take anything away from on farms. Tho questions havo been that if the assassin shot me down, my speech would still go on nnd triumph." Well, now gentlemen, these twelve hundred, the hundred times twelve hundred, the million men that went out into the field of battle to fight for our union, felt just as that speaker felt that if the' should all be shot down, the cause of liberty would still go on. You all and the Union Army felt that around you, and above 3'ou, nnd behind you as a force and a cause, and nn immortal truth that would outlive your bodies and mine, nnd survive all our brigades, and all our armies, and all our battles. Here you nrc to-day in the same belief. Wc shall all die, yet we believe that the immortal truths for which all fought will live in a united nation, a united people, against all factions, against all sections, against all di vision, so long as there shall be a continent of rivers, and mountains, and lakes. It was that great belief that lifted you all up into the heroic height of great soldiers in the war, and it is that belief that you cherish to-day and carry with you in your pilgnmages and all your reunions. In that great belief, and in that in spiring faith I meet you and greet you to-day, and with it we will go on to whatever fate has in store for us all.

Many curious stories arc told of tho influence oNorciscd by the Afghan chiefs over their followers, among the most striking of which is the following: A voting English subaltern attached to the Kabul ex pedition of 1S41-2, rescued an Afghnn pilgrim from some British soldiers who were handling him roughly. The pilgrim warmly thanked his de liverer, saying with emphasis that 'an Afghan never forgets a good turn or a bad one." Somo months later, during the (atal b.Tttlc of the Kurd Kabul Pass, our hero saw ono of tho enemy point to him repeatedly, and concluded himself singled out for de struction. Rut, tohisuma7cmcnt, he remained unhurt amid tho hottest tire, while his men wore dtopping around him liko leave8, those who had molested the pilgrim being tho fiist to fall. At length sovcral of tho enemy disarmed and dragged him down by main force, checking thoso who wished to kill him, by declaring him to bo under the protection of their chief. The chief in question proved to bo identical with tho res cued pilgrim a disguiso assumed to aid his designs against the English and tho officer, having been hospita bly entertained, was dismissed with out ransom.
