Liscols wan welcomed in a speech by Governor MoaTo.x, as be left the can to which he brief! mjonded. When he reache: tbe IIooe be appeared on one of tbe bal conies of that building and addreed the large crowd of people present In a speech which at the time was regarded as foreabowicg the licy which thoulJ govern hit administration of the government. The following report of hia ad dret wis rerieJ by himself, and we reproduce it to show tbe current of bin thoughts at tbe time and his estimate of the grave he waa about to asame. He said: Fellow Qtitent of the State of Indiana: I am here to thank yon much for this magnifi cent welcome, and itill more for the very gener out support given by your state to that political eaoae which! tbink i the true and just cause of tbe whole, country and the whole world. Solomon eaye there ia "a time to keep silence," and when men wrangle by the mouth with no certainty that they wan the atme thing while using the tame word, it perhtps were as well if they ahouU keep silent.

The words "coercion" aud invasion are much used in thee diy; and often with (tome temper and hot blood. Let make Dure, if we can, that we do not miundertand the meaning of those who use them. Let ui get exact definitions of these word, not from the dictionaries, but from the men thetuelve. who certainly de precate the 'J hingt they would Irotn the use of the words. What then is "coercion?" What i Would the marching of an army into South Carolina ithout the consent of her people, and with hostile intent toward them be invasion?" I certainly think it would, and it would be "coercion" al-o, If the South Carolinians were forced to aubmit.

Hut if tbe United States should merely hold and retake its own forts and other property, and collect duties on foreign importations or even withhold the mailj from places where they were hshkutlly viohted, would any or all of these things be "inva-Mou" or Do our profec! lovers of the union, but who ppitefully reolrc tint they will resist coercion and invasion, understand tint such things as thee on the part of the United States would be coercion or invasion ol a ntatc? If ao, their idea of means to prtservc the object of their great affection, would crem to be exceedingly thin and airy. If sick, the little pill of the bo meo pat Lists would be much too lare for it to wallow. In their view, the union, as a family relation, would eem to lc no martiage, but rather a aott of "free lote" arrirvemeut. to be maintained only on "passional attraction." By the. way, in whit consist tbe special a.n crednes of a etate? I speak not of the position aligned to a st.ite iu the union, by the consti tutiou; for that, by the bond, we all recognize.

That position, however, a can not carry out ol the union with it. I of that assumed primary tiLt ol a state to rule all which is lett thau it-elf and ruin all that is larger than it elf. If a Ute and county in a given cae should be ejul in extent of territory, and etjual iu number of inhabitants, in what, as a matter of prinriplc, is the state better than the county? Would an exchange of names be an exchange of rights upon princinle? On what rightful principle may a state, bei 02 not more than 000 fiftieth part of the nation, iu roil and population, break up the nation and then coerce a proportionably larger sub division of itelf in the most arbitrary way? What rayte rious right to pla tyrant is conferred on a district of country, with iu people, by merely calling it a stare? Fellow citizens, 1 am not a.scrtiug anything, I am merely asking iiuetion for you to consider. And now allow me to bid you farewell. Mr.

Lixcolx could not have put his argument in a stronger form. And reviewing it from the present stand point, after the bitter experience Of tbe past four years, we can appreciate bis homely utterances io this city, the fir.t intimation he tnd given of hi views of our then pending national difficulties, as the key note of the policy which shonld and which did control him. The speech WMalo eminently characteristic if the man. At the the time it was delivered it appeared to be common place, but subsequent events proved its significance and the practical sagacity which enabled him to comp: elicnj and solve the most intricate questions of public policy. But few men in any age of this world thi.s power in a more eminent degree.

While Senator Sherman waa here on a viit, about a week ago, he was presented by Krank Blair with a very tine borse, captured during the South Ctrolint campaign. He was told that he mut get a pass from his brother, the general, before l.e could ubip the au-imal to the north, but thought this would be a very eay matter. So he went to "CumpV headquarters to tell him of his good luck and get the necessary document. "It's anplendid horse.

"Can't let you hsve him, John All the horses here belong to Uncle Sam. Individual titles ain't worth a cent," said "Cump," and M) the senator was cheated out of his present.

The" sw Administration Tbe 'Ad dreae of the Indiana Delegation to President Jobnaoa and lale Iteplr- On Friday, tbe SIst int the Indiana delegation in Washington, headed by Governor Mob. to, paid their respects to President Jonxsox. The governor, in behtlf of the delegation, greeted the new president and him that be would have the full confidence and of the reojleof Indiana. As the speech of the governor and the reply of th president have been made subject of comntnt and criticism, we think it due to both parties that they houll be published in full. The following is oov.

Anaivs to joh.x- jox bia: Wt come to greet you as president of the Lnitc States, aud to aure you of our full confidence an 1 support. We trutt fully iu your integrity, patriotism, and ability, guided by your known political principles, to conduct the nation aaftly through trial to red ce and rriifpcrity. The inbumiu murder of Prc-ident Lincoln has filled the nation with deep mourning, while it shudder in the ol a crime to horrid A president of the United States he had in-pireJ the people with profound confidence, and subdued to respect and admiration the hatred and prejudice of thoe in other countries who did rot sym with republican institutions. Aa a man, he had won the love of all by the simplicity of his manner, the unfailing ex cellencc of bis heart, bis unbending integrity, and tbe sweetness and cheerfulnct-s of bis disposition, that charmed all who entered his prcenct He is embalmed in the hearts of his countrymen liut tbe government did Lot die ith him. The executive office pi.v-ed into your handd by the term of the constitution, without disturbance and the machinery of the government moves 00 ouictly and merely as before.

You have corac to power at a critical moment, and the duties of the hour will tax to the utmost vour intellect. your patience and your firmt.efs. As we approach the end of this michty rebel ion, the grtat question of adjustment will force itself upon yours aud the public mind, and the great principles of our government will be presented for new consideration of application. We bold that no state had a right to secede from the union, neither bad it the power to work such a result indirectly. The constitution provides for the aumissiou or new stales into the union, but when thus admitted and incorporated in'o tbe tms of the nation, there is no provision or method bv which thev can be withdrawn or ex pelled.

The rebellion can only be viewed by the gov eriimmt in its individual sect Lvcrv act looking to lesistcnce or eccjsiou is uncoh-titii tional und void, and can have legal effeei whatever, except upon the t-olitical arid civil riebt of the individual coaimittine it. Kith rebel is politically and ciiminally responsible for bis action, without regard to the number which mav have united with him iu his tate. there any power to punish them collectively by reducing a state to a territorial condition, or de daring is municipal character forfeited. A tbe crime of treason is individual in its character, so mut be its punishment. Rebel have the power to forfeit their own personal tights, civil and political, but they have no pow er, directly or indirectly, to work the def truction of a elate.

Ihe oisorgamzaliou or destiuctiuii of government does not affect the existence of the sute. Suppose, if you pleas-e. thst everv onier connected with the government of the of Indiana should be assassinated to day would the existence of the state tbercbv be lost? Cer tainly cot. The powers of the state government would be in abeyance only until new men could be called to their There is in every rtbel btate a loyal element of greater or less strength, ju to its hands would I confide the power at. duty of reorganize the state gov ernment, L'ivirjir it military rotcction till such time as it can, by conventions or otherwise, reguutc the right of suffrage th it will be con filled only to tafc and lovl hand- Ihe Joval men of a tnte have the ruht to govern it, be they few or many, In this way the loyal element of every state would be sorn converted into a loyal ninjority.

The number enjoying political rights would be enlarged and varied in the evtrsl state, from time to time, according to the circumstances by which they may be surrounded, and In a few ycatsat farthest the rapidly loyal element, aided by emigration from the north and from Kuropc, would place the Kvernment in these ttates upon anim movable bii, never to be agin disturbed by tbe furv ol slavery or the insanity of secession In this way the amendment slavery would be purely and speedily ratified by enough states to incorporate it into the constitution, and our country ould in truth become the land only of the fite," it i the home of the brave Till. BlfLV. The president then -tepped a little lorward, and began by Ftatiu that he did not desire to make any exposition of his future policy more than he had already made, but that it was clearly to be derived from the history of his life, adding that he might adopt the governor's sentiments and address them to him as his own, and then added: Hut in entering upon the discharge of the duties devolviog upon me by the sad occurrence of the anamination of the chief magistrate of the na tion, and, as you are aware, in surrounding circumstances which are peculiarly embarrassing and responsible, I doubt whether you are aware how rauch I appreciate encouragement and countenance from my fellow citizens of Indiana. The most courageous individual, the most determined will, might justly shrink from entering upon the discharge of that which lies before me. Hut were I a coward, or timid, to receive the countenance ad encouragement I have from you, and from various other parts of the country, would make me a courageous and determined man.

I mean in the proper sense of the term; for there is as much im moral courage, and the firm, calm discharge of duty as in physical courage. But upon enteting upon the duties imposed upon me by tho calamity, I require uot only courage, but determined will, ani I assure you that on this occasion your encouragemeu: is pe euliarly acceptable to me In refereure to'what my administration ill be while I occupy my preseut position, I must refer you to the past. You mav look back to it as evidence of what iny course will be. And in reference to this diabolical and fieudiili rebellion, sprung upon the country, all I have to do is to ask you also to go back and take my course in the past, and from that dtteimine what my future will be. Mine has been but one straightforward and unswerving course, and I see no reason now why I should depart from it.

As to making a declaration or roauifcio, or what you may please to call it, my past is a better forehadowing of my future course than any statement on paper that might be made. Who. four year 3go, looking down the stream of time, could have delineated that hich has transpired siuce then? Had any one done so, ar.d presented if, he would have been looked upon a- in-sne; or it would have been thought a fable fabulous ns the stork of the Arabian Knight as the wonders of the Limn of Aladin and would have been about as readily If we knew t-o little four years ago of what has passed ir.ee then, know as little whit events will arise iu the next fwur years. Rut as these events arise I shall be controlled in the of them by rules and princi pies by which I have been gui Jed herctjfoie. Had it not been for extraordinary effotts, in part owing to the machinry of the" state, you would have had rebellion as rampant in Indiana as we had it in Tennessee.

Treason is none the less whether it be in a free state or iu a slave state; but if there could be any difference in such a crime, he who commits treaaon in a free state is a greater traitor than he wbo commits it in a hve There might be some little excuse lor a man who based his treason on his possession of slave property; but the traitor in a free state ha no excuse but simply to be a traitor. (Applause) Da not, however, under-stand mc to mean this that any man should be exonerated from the penalties and punishments of tbe crime of treason The time bss arrived when the American people should understand what crime ii, and that it thould be pun i-hed, and its penalties euforced and inflicted. We say, in our stMutes and courts, that burglary is a crime, that murder is a crime, that arson is a crime, and that treason is a crime; and the constitution ot the Cnitcd States and the law of the United Stalf that treason shall con- ist to levying war against them, and giving their ei-emies aid and cumiort. 1 have jut remarked that burglary a crime and has iu penalties, that murder is a crime and has its penalties, and so on through the long cat alogue of crime. To illustrate by a sad event, wbicb is before tbe miods of all, and which has drtped ihi Jtsd la aouTDicp wto Ii there berg who would aav if tbe asaain wbo bas stricken from our xnidit one beloved and revered by all.

and pasted bim frota tixt to eternity to tbat bourne whence no traveler returns who I repeat. who here would say that the iuhiiq, it taken. should tot uffer the penalties of his ctirae? Then, if you take tbe life of one individual for the murder of another, and believe that bis pro perty fbouli be confiscated, whatsbould be done with oce who is trying to aasasi'nate the nation? What shonld be done with bim or them wbo have attempted tbe life of a nation composed of thirty mUliots of people! We were living st a time when the public mini bad almost become oblivious of what treion The time has arrived my countrymen, when the American people should be educated and taught what is crime, and tbe hfghcf crime know to the law and the constitution. Yes, treason sgaicst all the Hates treason against the government of tbe UrJted States the highest crime that can te committed, ar.d th')-e eegsged in it thould suffer all the pen allies I know it is very easy to get up sympa thy and sentiment while human blood is about to be hed easy to acquire a reputation for lenieucy and kicJce; but its effect and practical operations prodnce rni-frv and woe to the maa of ruankii d. Sometimes an individual whom the la has overtaken, and on whom its psnalties ate about to be imposed, will appeal and plead with the executive for the exercise of clemency; but before its exercise be ousht to ascertain what is mercy and what is not mercy.

It is very Important question, and one which deserves the consideration of thoe who moralize upon crime and the morals of a nation whether, in mdio caes, action thould not be suspended here and transferred to Him who controls all. There, if innocence bas been invaded, if wrone: has been done, the Controller and Gier of Good 01 1 of whose attributes is mercy will set it right. It is not promulgating anything that I have net heretofore said, to say that traitors must be made odious, that treason must be made odious, that traitors munt be punished und impoverished. (Applause.) They must not only be puoi-hed, but their social power mut be 11 not, they will stiil maintain an ascendancy, and may again become numerous and towerful; for. in the words of a former senator of the United States, "whe.i traitors become numerous enough, treason becomes respectable And I aay that, after making tieascn odious, every ui.ion man and the government should be remunerated out of the pockets of those who have inflicted this greit sufferiD upon the country.

(An plause) But do uot undertnd me as saying this in Mrit of anger; for if I understand my own heart, the reverse is the ease And while I pay that tbe penabies of the law, in a stern and inflexible manner, should be executed upon conscious, in telligent and influential traitors the leaders, who have deceived thousands upon thousands of la-boricg men who have been drawn into this rebellion; and while I say as to the leader punish meut, I also say leniency ai.damne-ty to the thousands whom they have milled and ceived. And in reference to this, as I remarked. I might have adopted your speech a my own. As my honorable friend knows. 1 lone rince took the ground that this government was bent upn a great missiou among the nations of the earth i that it had a great work to perform, and that in starting it, it wis Cartel in perpetuity.

L-jok back for one ringle moment to the articles of confederation, and then come down to 1 when the constitution was formed. What do you find? "That we, the people of the United States, ia order to form a perfec; government," i.e. Troviriou is made for the admission of new Mates to be added to old ones embraced wiih-in the union Now turn to the coulilutiou. We find that amendments may be made by a recommendation of two thirds of the members of Cjtigress, it it ified by three fourths of the tates. I'rovUion is made for the admission of new ptatcj; no provis iou is made for the secession of old ones.

The instrument was mad to be good in perpetuity, and you can take hold of it, not to bieak up the government, but to go on perfecting it more ami more aa it runs down the stream time. We find the go ernment composed of integral puts. Au individual i an integer, and a number of in dividual furm a ate. and a rtate itself 'u an in teger; and the various tt.Ucs form tho union, i which is itself au integer, they all making tin! the iovernmcnt of the United Slater, Now wet come to the point of my argument far the perpetuity of the government. We have seen tint the government is composed of parts, each essen'iai to the whale, and th whole essential to each par t.

Now, if an individual pail of a t-tatedecltre war the wliole, in violation of the consti wre-poii-ible f.r the act as at. individual. mav go ou till they becomi puts of states-the rebellion may go un increaing in umbers till tte machinery i overturned, and he country becomes like a man patalyzed on one side, lbit wo find in the constitution a preat Dinacei pro vi.led. It that the Unitcti States that is, tho great iu'eger shall guarantee to euh state (the composir.g the whole) in this union a republic-en fotm of goverument. Yes, if rebellion has been rampant, and net aside tbe ma ehinery of a state fjr a time, theie stands the! great law to move the paralvis and revitalie it, ana put it on its reel again.

nen we come to understand our system of government, though it be complex, we ee how beautifully one part acts in harmony with another. 'I ben we see our government ia to be a perpetuity, there beit" no provision for pulling it down, the union beiu its vitalizing power, imparting life to tbe whole of Jho thit move nroutd it like planets! rouud the sun, rcceivit.e thence light and heat and motion. Upon this idea of d-trojing states my position has been heretofore well known, aud I see no cause to change it now; and I am glad to hear its reiteration on the present occasisn. Some are satisfied with the idea that states are to be lo-t in territorial and other divUioDS are to lo-e their character as states. Dut their life breath has been only suspended, and it is a high constitu tiooal obligation we have to fecr.re each of the.e ttate in the possession and ecjoyment of a re pub icati form of goa ernment.

A stale may be in the covercment with a peculiar institution, and by the operation of rebellion lose that feature Cut it was a state when it went into rebellion, und when it come- out without the institution it is etill a itato. (Great applause I hold it a a solemn obligation in any one of thee states where the rebel armies have been beaten back or expelled I care not how small the number cf u.ion men, if enough to mn the ship of ftate I hold it, I say, a high duty to protect and secure to them a republican form of government. This no new opinion. Itisx-presfed in conformity with my understanding of the geuius and theory of our government. Then, in and puttiDg the goverument upon its legs aain, 1 think the progress of this work mut pass into the hards of its friend.

If a be nursed until it again gets strength, it mut. be nursed by ks friends, rot by it- eneroici. (Ap plaure Xow cermit me to remarkjthat, while I have oppo-ed dissolution and disintegration on the one hind, on the other I nni equally opposed to cocs (applau-e) or the centralizi-tioa of power in hands of a few.
