Why sir, YOU may in, ite i'll the foreign foes
into our land; yon may robe our cities IN
flames, make our homes smoking ruins, and
send our wives and children, screaming
through the streets, but when our country
appears as if in the last gasp Of expiring ago.
nv, mighty voice like the sound Of a trum.
pet will speak forth, proclaiming liberty and
union as the watch word. and that VIII save
the Uuion applause.
Mr.. President, Was s'atlhed 70 near you
say yesterday that yon came thousand miles
and would have come three thousand. il ne
cessary, to meet your brethren aud friends
in this convention was delighted too yes-
terday to hear the eloquent voice at my friend
from Massachusetts, who eight years ago
stood side nv side with me; it showed me
that the North is notso far from US as some
people imagine, but that there is bond O.
brotherhood which connects this Union to-
sether and will never permit 1t to be rent
asunder. And permit me here, Mr.. presi-
dent, to advert also TO remark made by
yourself, last night, in private conversation,
when you said that tins country was Knit and
riveted together BY the great Mississippi,
binding degree of latitude with degree OF
latitude, that win neverallow thisgreat Union
10 be severed. Applaose.
And lei me say TO the Wings assembled
here, let US 90 home and tell our friends,
1 that we have stood by and seen the tricks
and lanaticisn of thnse who have brought
4 this crisis upon the country. and we have
said not a word, but given them iull swing
in their mad course, letting item cut their
own throats as much as they pleased. Laugh
ter and applause. Perhaps it may purify
the whole country to let them 80 on IN such
career Of madness and folly. The tower

would have qnieted that distracted people
and secured peace. Applause Bnt SIR,
