been mine, unaccustomed to public speaking,
with no skill in those arts with which popu-

to lead away the minds of their audiencies. |

the cause have espoused and my own en-
tire and perfect sincerity in advocating il.
Above all, fellow-ci citizens, it has occurred
TO me that it was not Inappropriate, and that
| would not be stepping too far out of my way
to come to cast in my mite with yours for the
salvation OF this Union, at place where the
bones of Davies and so many Of our Ken
tuckisns, rest together in the same grave
with those of the people of your own State
and in the midst of territory for which
peace happiness and prosperity have been
secured to you by the common efforts of the
South and North, on the battle fields of Tip
pecanoe, OF the Raisin, of Fort Meigs, and
every other battlefield in the North west.
Fellow-citizens, the immense crowds which
have been assembled together in yoar State,

gether from all quarters of the Union to as
sist you in this contest in which you are en-
gagged, has very perfectly reminded me of
those days in the middle ages when a single
man, plain, weak and feeble, went about
Europe assembling crowds quite as vast to
redeem the Holy Sepulchre from the hand
of the Infidel. /, like old Peter, the Hermit,
weak, feeble, with no weight of my own,
I except what believe to be truth, have come
to cast in my mite with yours, to redeem and
to save our glorious Union.

one common ruin of disunion, civil war, and
blood, and blotting out from the worlds his
toyy and hopes the last vestigeof freedom
and Of the security of the inalienable and
God-given rights of man. And this, too,
while the oppressed of the old world, the

and have turned the yearnings of their
hearts, and the prayerful aspirations of
their souls, as the political Saviour of man.
AS in the days Of our Revolutionary strug-
gle, and of our Last War, when the toma-
hawk and scalping-knife were doing their
work of desolation and death, and the cry of
the widow and orphan rang through the
land till it reached the ears of our brethren
in Kentucky and Ohio, and causing them to

of the wind, and offer their lives as sac

when our common country is in danger, and
threatened with disunion and blood-the
lovers of our common Union and country

our beloved country. r.i
Soon after our arrival the people gathered
about the stand in acres, and the meeting
was called to order and organized, by the
