This maguficeut volume, the result of years of research and preparation, is evidently the finest and most useful work that has been put fortb. Even a hasty glunce at the book will convince any one of its exceptional ‘excellence. The most of our histories are too elaborate; and the result is that the masses do not have time to-read them, and consequently remain poorly posted, even on the his~tory of their own country. But here is a single volume of about 700 pages, which, through diat of labor, has been made to reflent fairly all tho changes of all the dations, all the grand events that have occurred aince the world began. The anualysis is such that thereis no fact in history but you can readily find, even down to the Centennial Exhibition.

If the Liberalr, in 1872, sustained Horace Greeley, who wus the foremost Republican of his day, because be was an unselfish patriot and an honest man, they must now sustain Governor Hayes for the same reason. “To do otherwise would be an inconsistent action. The opposition of the Liber publican party, of which they foimeda part, but rather against those who, unfortunately for it and tbe nation, had control of iis destiny to its. discredit. The good results which have been gained by the inauguration of the Liberal movem nt of 1872 is a matter of congratulati np. agnivst existing abuses was first made by. those who had before acted within Republican party lines. Subsequent events bave morethan confirmed the warnings of the Liberals then given, and bave indicated that their effurts then made for national reform have been sucécessful.— Firwly waintaining their priuciples fur the past four years, they ‘have seeu the loudependent voters of all parties adopt tbeir views, end at the eleventh bour they have seen the R-publican party, in convention assewbied, in entire harmony with the demunds of the Liberals. Disregarding machine _politicians,— so calkd, they have nominated men whose greut distinction is that shey are theronghly honest as well as capable. The conscience of toe nation which rising above purty, revolted ugsinst the Republican organization iu 1872, must now indorse this actop. The Liberal movement will be remembered us evidence that when the hour demands it, the people are capuble of making party managers subservient tu their wil. ‘Fhe protest in Gefianve of purty discipline, us originally made at Cincinnati in 1872, is a proof that the citizens remain faithful to the honest discharge of their political duties though party leuders become corrupt.

The address says the nominations are the logical result of the Liberal movement: Those who still adbere to it sbou!d at this time cordially support Hayes and Wheel, er. .More decided thun the pla:form npon which he stands, Hiyes has reform, fora retarn to specie paymeut at the earliest po-sible day, and for the rule of one term only for the Presidency, the latter term being found only in the Liberal Republican-platform.--The characcer cf the nominees guarantee the principles they profess. If the Liberalr, in 1872, sustained Horace Greeley, who wus the foremost Republican of his day, because be was an unselfish patriot and an honest man, they must now sustain Governor Hayes for the same reason. “To do otherwise would be an inconsistent action. The opposition of the Liber publican party, of which they foimeda part, but rather against those who, unfortunately for it and tbe nation, had control of iis destiny to its. discredit. The good results which have been gained by the inauguration of the Liberal movem nt of 1872 is a matter of congratulati np. agnivst existing abuses was first made by. those who had before acted within Republican party lines. Subsequent events bave morethan confirmed the warnings of the Liberals then given, and bave indicated that their effurts then made for national reform have been sucécessful.— Firwly waintaining their priuciples fur the past four years, they ‘have seeu the loudependent voters of all parties adopt tbeir views, end at the eleventh bour they have seen the R-publican party, in convention assewbied, in entire harmony with the demunds of the Liberals. Disregarding machine _politicians,— so calkd, they have nominated men whose greut distinction is that shey are theronghly honest as well as capable. The conscience of toe nation which rising above purty, revolted ugsinst the Republican organization iu 1872, must now indorse this actop. The Liberal movement will be remembered us evidence that when the hour demands it, the people are capuble of making party managers subservient tu their wil. ‘Fhe protest in Gefianve of purty discipline, us originally made at Cincinnati in 1872, is a proof that the citizens remain faithful to the honest discharge of their political duties though party leuders become corrupt. It only remuius for me to déclare, by virtue of the authority given as ubove, that the Liberul Republicans of the United States, through their Natioual Committee, approving «f the Republican party nominations, that the cull for the Convention of Liberul Republicans to be held at Philadelphis, ou the 26th day of Jaty, 1876, is annulled. > Kast-bound freight train was approaching Tawurck Station on the Central Pacific Road, a man was seen lying across the t ack.
