state of things exists in East Tennessee. Wherever
throughout the South a Union man ventures to

the South thousands of Union men have been driven

before their pursuers to the caves. in the mountains.
If we now shrink discomfited from the contest,
we surrender these our loyal friends and brethren
to exile, confiscation, and death. No, fellow-citizens,
there remains no alternative but a short and vigor-
ous, or a protracted and languishing prosecution of
the war. Shall it be the first or shall it be the last ?
Will you let it go down a legacy of sacrifice and
sorrow to your children, or will you not rather
finish it this very year You can if you will ; you
have the means and the men, if you but choose to
employ them. I rejoice to behold, in this great out-
pouring of the people, the assurance that you are
determined that, as far as depends on you, the work
shall be quickly done ; and in lieu of any words of
exhortation on my part, which I know you do not
need, let me give you a reminiscence from the time
that tried men's souls. Boston, as you well know,
was in the year 1775 and a part of 1776 occupied by
British troops, and besieged by the American
army under Washington. The great question
was how the enemy could be best assailed, and
among the measures proposed was the bombard-
ment of the town, then almost wholly built of
wood. The richest man in Boston, John Hancock,
was then President of the Continental Congress,
and as such transmitted the orders of that body to
Washington. You will notice the resolution,' said
he in his letter, 'relative to an attack on Boston.
This passed after a most serious debate in a com-
mittee of the whole house, and the execution was
referred to you. May God crown your attempt
with success ! I most heartily wish it, though in-
dividually I may be the greatest sufferer.' The fact
is, all his property consisted of real estate in Bos-
ton; the destruction of the town would have made
him a beggar. Fellow-citizens, he was the occu-
pant of yonder house. Were he living, he might
from his windows Witness all this glorious sight;
his eyes would swim with tears of gratitude to
Heaven, as he beheld yonder banner of the Union
floating in the breeze ; his ears would drink with
rapture the patriotic strains that have cheered us
this afternoon. May the proceedings of this day
and this hour be such that his pure spirit, and that
of 'all his sainted associates, the Adamses, and
Franklin, and peerless Washington himself, may
look down upon us with approbation."

THE SPEECH- OF MR. EVERET7 AT

foot, in order to gratify the aspirations to office of
eight or ten disappointed Southern politicians ?
But, again, Secession bids us not only cede to her
half the territory of the United States, and abro-
gates at one blow the Constitution of Government
that held them together, but, in place of this power-
ful and prosperous Union, now strong enough for
every legitimate object of domestic or foreign polity.
it substitutes at once and of necessity two indepen-
dent and hostile confederacies, separated by no na-
tural boundary, sure to be involved in eternal
border wars, besides carrying in their bosoms the
fatal germ of still further and still more ruinous
disintegration. All history, all analogy teaches us
that if we could patch up a peace to-raorrow
with the rebel States, it would be but a temporary
truce, lasting just so long, and no longer, as might
be necessary for them to find a pretext for a new
war of aggression and outrage. Their leaders tell
you that they hate, despise, and loathe you; and
they have shown you what paltry and imaginary
grievances they consider a sufficient cause of war.
How is it possible that you can ever live in peace
with them if this first trial of strength, which has
been forced upon us, is decided in their favour ? If
they violate the obligations of the Constitution and
the sanctity of oaths, what respect are they going
to pay to the faith of treaties ? If they fly to arms
because an election, in which they took equal part,
has been decided against them, how can we hope to
conduct with them,on amicable terms, the great and
often perplexed relations of independent States?
But Secession not only makes this wholesale havoc
of the Constitution and the Union,it repeals the De-
claration of Independence. I need not say that, all
the States of this Union were, four-fifths of a cen-
tury ago, colonial dependencies of the great Powers
of Europe. It is not yet 80 years since England
acknowledged the independence of the old 13 States.
It is less than 60 years since France ceded to us
Louisiana and all the mighty region between the
Mississippi and the Pacific, It is 40 years only since
Spain ceded to us the Floridas ; and 14 years only
since Mexico, at this moment involved in war with
the great Powers of Europe and in imminent dan-
ger of losing her independence, in deed if not in word
acknowledged our claim to Texas. If we recognise
Secession we admit the right, not only of the entire
Southern Confederacy so called, but of each and
every member of it, to resume at pleasure its alle-
giance to the ancient Government, and thus plant a
European colonial jurisdiction all alongour Southern
frontier. So completely has the frenzy of the hour
extinguished every spark of patriotism in the bosom
of their leaders that some of them have declared
their preference of a foreign sceptre over the gentle
and beneficent sway of the Constitution of the
United States. But whether they desire it or not,
whether this madness extends to the many, or, as
we may charitably hope, is confined to the few, the
recolonisation of the States of the South by
their former European masters is an event, if Se-
cession should prosper, highly probable, in fact all
but certain, in reference to some of them; and in
reference to none of them greatly otherwise. Break
up the Union ; let the two great sections of the
country hamstring each other with the two-edged
sword of border war, and what sufficient protection
would Texas and Florida have against Spain, or
Louisiana against France, or any of them against
England ? There is not one of them, if left to them-
selves and involved in war with a foreign Power,
whose independence would be worth a year's pur-
chase. Nothing has so much amazed me in all these
disastrous complications as the fact that men of
capacity and political experience at the South, and
who aspire to the name of patriots and statesmen,
should not per ceive that in abdicating their posi-
tion as integral members of a strong Government,
and especially one that wields a respectable naval
force, they place themselves not only at the mercy
of the great maritime powers of Europe, but at the
mercy of any Government able to send half a dozen
iron-clad steamers to sea. Break down the Union
as a great military and naval Power, and what pro-
tection is left for their alluvial shores ? Are not
the arms which are long enough to reach from Lon-
don, Paris, and Madrid to Calcutta and the Philip-
pine Islands, and Tahiti and New Zealand, long
enough to stretch to Charleston, and Pensacola, and
Galveston, and New Orleans ? But we have not yet
got to the bottom of the cup of humiliation which
Secession places to our lips. Most great commer-
cial and naval States think that, in addition to the
fortresses which guard their home ports, it is neces-
sary to possesss some distant harbours of refuge,
and certain remoter stations, that protect the path-
way of their foreign trade. England would as
soon allow Plymouth or Portsmouth to be wrested
from her by a foreign Power as she would Gibral-
tar, or Malta, or Aden, or Singapore, or
Hong Kong; or Vancouver's Island. Now,
the seceding States not only claim the
right to withdraw from the Union, which
they have no more right to do than Scot-
land or Ireland has to withdraw from the
union with England, but they claim the right to
carry with them the whole line of fortresses which
guard our southern coast, the Florida Channel, the
Gulf of Mexico, and the mouth of the Mississippi—
fortresses required for the safety of our commerce,
built on lands purchased and paid for by the gene-
ral Government, and on islands and sites of which
the jurisdiction has been ceded to the United States.
Nay, they claim the right to:open and shut at plea.
sure the outlets of the Ohio, the Mississippi, and
the Missouri—the most magnificent system of in-
ternal navigation on the face of the globe. Acknow-
ledge Secession, and not a drove of mules could be
sent down from Kentacky, nor a hogshead of to-
bacco from St. Louis, nor a bale of furs from the
Upper Missouri, nor a barrel of pork from Cincin-
nati, nor a keg of nails from Pittsburg, nor a pig of
lead from Galena or Dubuque, nor a sack of wheat
from Davenport, but by the gracious leave of this
alien Power. Finally, fellow-citizens, there is a
drop of still greater bitterness in the chalice. T_lf
triumph of secession involves consequences °Lb

political interests. Not only are a majority f the

BOSTON.

The following speech was delivered by Mr.
Everett, at Boston, at the general war meeting on
Boston -common, on Wednesday, Aug. 27 :
" I rejoice, fellow-citizens, to behold this mighty
throng. It shows that the spirit of our fathers is
again abroad in the land, and that you are resolved
that the Union which they established shall not be
rent asunder ; that the mildest and most beneficent
Government on earth shall not be sacrificed to the
ambition of a few disappointed aspirants to office.
We have now reached not only the most important
week in the history of the war up to the present
time, but the week' which will most p wer!ully in-
fluence the future. The fate of this year's cam-
paign depends upon the manner in which the call
of the President is responded to by the people, and
this campaign will go far to settle the question
whether we are to have a short or a long war. It
is a moment, fellow-citizens, of vast importance,
pregnant with consequences not merely for us, but
for our latest posterity. Everything is at stake for
which your fathers and your forefathers counselled,
and toiled, and bled, from the day that the pil-
grims crossed the ocean, through the long years of
colonial trial, the sharp struggle of the revolution,
the languor of the old Confederation, down to that
happy consummation, the adoption of the Consti-
tution of the United States. All—all is now at
stake. Shall this noble fabric of human wisdom
be allowed to crumble into miserable fragments;
or shall it be sustained through this dark hour of
trial ? Shall it sink into early and ignominious
decay, or shall it stand in its majesty and beauty
for ages ; so that our children and our children's
children shall' be enabled to say, The rain de-
scended, and the floods cam©, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was
founded upon a rock.' There are three courses—
three only—with respect to the war, which can
by possibility be pursued by the Govern-
ment and loyal people of the Union, and,
as far as depends upon us, we are called
to choose this week between them. We may,
first, admit that we are unable to carry on the
war, retire baffled and discomfited from the at-
tempt, and sue for peace. Are you ready for that ?
Or, secondly, we may furnish the Government with
tardy and inadequate supplies, just enough to enable
it, upon the whole, to hold our own; to gain a vic-
tory here, to suffer a repulse there ; to capture
strong fortresses and populous cities one day, only
to have railroad passenger cars fired into, and invalid
officers shot in their ambulances by murderous
guerillas the next day, and so let the contest drag
on for 20 or 30 years, like the wars of the French
Revolution, the wars of the Commonwealth of Eng-
land, or the Thirty Years' in Germany; or, thirdly,
we may give the Government, at whatever cost, the
means which it requires to bring the contest to a
prompt and triumphant close. Is not this last the
dictate of humanity ; is not this, my fellow-citizens,
your wish and firm resolve ? Now, I say, fellow-
citizens, it depends upon the manner in which the
President's call for reinforcements is responded to,
which of these three modes of dealing with the war
shall prevail. Let us look at them for a moment.
There can, I need scarcely say, be no hesitation be-
tween a long and a short war; but ought we not
to prefer the first-named come to either ? Oaght
we to yield to the demands of Secession and sue for
peace ? In order to answer that question we must
ask another. What are those demands ? What
are the conditions of such a peace? What do the
leaders of Secession claim of us? Let me point out
to you for a moment, fellow-citizens, their stupen-
dous audacity. Eighteen months ago the Govern-
ment of the United States extended its constitu-
tional rule from the north-eastern corner of Maine
to the mouth of the Rio Grande, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean—one might almost
say, from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends
of the earth;' an area of 21 degrees of latitude and
60 of longitude. Throughout this mighty domain
there was not a citizen but was bound by his alle-
giance, and if he was an officer, military or naval, or
a magistrate of the Union or the State, by his oath,
to obey the Constitution and laws of the United
States, anything in the Constitution and laws of
any State to the contrary notwithstanding.' Over
all this vast territory the Constitutional Government
of the United States bore lawful sway, just as fully
as the Constitutional Government of England bears
lawful sway throughout the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland. On the 6th of No-
vember, 1860, a constitutional majority of the
people thought fit to pass by John C. Breckinridge,
who was offered by them as the candidate of the
Southern wing of the Democracy, and to elect
Abraham Lincoln as the President of the United
States. For this high crime and misdemeanouron
our part, 11 Southern States (although by entering
into the election they were bound in honour to abide
by its result) have thought proper to declare them-
selves an independent, foreign, and belligerent
Power, and have ordered and are now ordering at
the mouth of the cannon the loyal people of the
United States to give up to this foreign Power half
our territory, half our seacoast, and the fortresses
that defend it and protect its navigation ; the en-
trance to our inland seas; and the mouth and a
thousand miles of the lower course of the mighty
rivers which penetrate to the heart of that portion
of the country, which we are graciously permitted,
during good behaviour, of course, to retain. Though
We have been on the point of war with England
more than once within 25 years, and that under a
Southern lead, for some wretched fragments of un-
settled territory on the outskirts of the Union, we
are now summoned to give up to a foreign and
hostile Power a domain half as large as Europe,
because Mr. John C. Breckinridge was not elected
President of the United States, and in order that
Mr. Jefferson Davis may enjoy the blood-stained
and guilty honour of presiding over the Southern
Confederacy. But again, see what a wreck Seces-
sion calls upon us to make of this noble fabric of
confederate republicanism. Our fathers in 1789
framed a Constitution of Government for the pur-
pose, among other high aims of civil polity, of esta-
blishing ' a more perfect Union.' The wisest and
best of men co-operated in the undertaking; Heaven
smiled on the work. The people of 13 States then
existing ratified, adopted, and declared it the law
of the land. The country, desolated by the war of
' the Revolution, sprang into new life beneath
its genial influence, as the frozen clods aro
clothed with verdure beneath the gentle showers of
April. Twenty-one States have since grown up
within our territorial limits, and have thought it a
blessing and an honour to be joined to the great
family of republics. For 72 years since it went into
operation the country has enjoyed under this Con-
stitution an amount of prosperity without a parallel
in the history of the world. Cities have sprung up
like an exhalation from the soil ; the savage wil-
derness has been turned into a wheatfield as by a
miracle ; an immigration, counted not by hundreds
or thousands, but by millions, of which there is no
other example in the annals of mankind, bears wit-
ness to the good report which has gone forth of us
to the nations. In these 72 years not a deop_
.ef
blood has been shed for a political offence, andonal

and of nations, and especially remembering j n

Sybil was first on her legs, but was quickly joined by
Maurice and Lord Clyde, Marcellus being last. Bef re
arriving at the bend, Lord Clyde was beaten, and Mar-
cel,uts approached the leading horses. Maurice led into
the straight (where Sybil was disposed of), but soon after-
wards receded into the ruck. Lucretia then went to the
front, followed by Marcellus, and a magnificent race from
the distance ended in favour of Lucretia by a head, Lord
Clyde being a bad third. The winner was sold

Libelous was the first off, followed by Loiterer,Twilight,
and Redpole ; Lord Stanley heading the other four, the last
of whom was Hopeful Duchess. In going through the
Swan Meadow, Lord Stanley took up the running, and with
Loiterer, Redpole, and Libellous next him, entered the
straight with a clear lead. Loiterer then receded, and
Libellous drew forward on the outside, but was unable to
reach the favourite, who won easily by two lengths.
Twilight lost second money by three lengths. Redpole,
close up, was fourth, Loiterer fifth, Man-at-Arms sixth,

stone in the order named, the Naomi filly bringing up the
rear. Before reaching the bend Rest took up the running,
but, coming into the straight on the outside, lost some
ground and gave the lead to Soapstone. Equinox and
Amazonian then went up to Soapstone, passed him at the
distance, and ran an interesting race home, Mr. Naylor's
filly winning by half a length, and Soapstone being an in-
different third. Peignoir was a bad fourth, Rest fifth, and

ANOTHER HISTORICAL RECTIII-

CATION.

In the printshops may still be seen occasionally a repre-
sentation of the Emperor Napoleon brought to a standstill
by one of his own sentinels, in consequence of his inability
to give the password. The veteran who, in obedience to his
orders, was so near running his bayonet into his Majesty
has been recently received at Fontainebleau by the present
Emperor, who, according to the French papers, conversed
with him a considerable time, and, among other questions,
asked him, "Though you did not know it was the Empe-
ror, would you really have shot him ?" To which the
veteran replied, "No, Sire, I would only have wounded him
with my bayonet." The account which Coluche, the sen-
try, gave of the affair was as follows:—. It was in 1809,
after the victory of Ebersberg, that I was posted at the en-
trance of a half-destroyed building, in which the Emperor
had taken up his quarters. My orders were not to allow
anybody to pass unless accompanied by an officer of staff.
In the evening a person wearing a gray overcoat came to-
wards my post and wanted to pass. flowered my bayonet,
and called out `Nobody passes here.' Those were the
words I used, and I never added ' even if you were the
little corporal himself,' as has been wrongfully imputed to
me since, because I did not know I had the Emperor be-
fore me. The person came on without seeming to notice
what I said, and I then brought my bayonet to the charge,
and called out, ' If thou takest another step I will run my
bayonet into thy stomach.' The noise brought out the
whole of the staff, the Emperor

tinned to serve through all the campaigns, when he was not
confined to the hospital by his wounds, till the concluding
battle of li, aterloo, after which he was discharged, returned
to his village, and resumed his occupation as an agricultural
labourer. On his recent visit to Fontainbleau his only in-
troduction was his portrait engraved by Madame Viardot
Garcia, the distinguished singer. As already mentioned,
he was received by the Emperor with great cordiality,
and by him presented to the Empress, the Imperial Prince,
and the whole Court. Previous to his departure the Ern-
peror asked him if he wished for anything, to which Coluche
is said to have replied, " I no longer destre anything ; now
I have seen you all lam satisfied. I will only beg of you
to give me your three portraits," a request which the Em-
peror promised him should be complied with,

Lufra jumped off with the lead, but was immediately
passei by Ma Belle, Actreon going on second, Zara third,
and the Glengowrie colt fourth, Middlewatch being last.
As they turned for the straight, the Glengowrie colt on the
inside obtained a slight lead, but was very soon overhauled
by Ma Belle and the Aconite filly, Zara coming on in close
attendence. This lot ran together to the half distance,
where Mr. Payne's filly took a decided lead, and won very
cleverly by three-quarters of a length; a neck only sepa-
rated the second and third, and Zara was within half a
length of Mr. Sutton's colt ; Tourist was fifth, Middlewatch
sixth, and Presumption seventh.

NEW AFRICAN BISHOP.—The annual report of
the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts, which will be issued in the course of a few days,
states that there is reason to believe that the bishopric of
the Orange River Free State, South Africa, so long pro-
jected, will be established before the end of the year, and
also that a body of missionaries will be on their way to
plant new missions of the Church of England in indepen-
dent Icaflraria and in China.
DANGERS OF RIFLE PRACTICE.—A gentleman
handed in to our office yesterday a rifle or carbine bullet%
which he had found on the grass close to the Queen's Drive,
beyond the south end of the Hunter's Bog, and which,
from its position and shape, had evidently impinged upon
a rock or stone at the bead of the-Valley and flown off across
the ridge. This shows the necessity of those stones and
rocks being removed at this place, as now that practice is
so frequent the risk of such stray bullets is much increased.
