W. Ynncer,. CINCINNATI speech.

We find IN the Cincinnati papers full reports OF
Mr. YANcEY's recent speech in that city. This
marked difference Is perceptible between the speech
es Of Mr. DoUGIAs and Mr.. YANCEY in the Northern
States While Mr.. DOUGLAS has devoted good
portion of each of his speeches to denanciatons OF
Mr.. BRECRNIIDGE and his supporters, Mr.. lANCEi
has made his entire upon the Black Repubh-
cans without saving anything that could give Of
fence to the Bell. or DOUGLAS men of the North
being unwilling to utter word that might prevent
a cordial cooperation Of the three against LINCOLN
We rive the conclusion of Mr.. YANCEY's speech as
we find it reported in the Black Republican organ,
the Cincinnati Gazette
TIE THREATS OF TIE SOUTH-RENEMBER THE REVOLT
TON.
The South has been threatened with your eighteen
millions already. One of your braggart sons ut
tered on the floor of Congress that eighteen millions
of the North would conquer US. 1t may be so. 1t
NAV not be So Do you remember 4 people who,
something like eighty odd years ago, only three
millions in number scattered 4 vast extent OF
territory unarmed unoticered unarmled, with
none of the munitions of war, with nOthlng more
than a civil Government-do you remember that
this people threw themselves in conflict for great
principle although it was represented by dollars
and cents) with the strongest power the world mas
ever knOwn-with twenty millions OF an armed
people whose ships covered every sea, whose veto
ries were known in every land? And yet out OF
that conflict those three millions of freemen came
victorious. God grant that there never shall be
battle between the North and the South (Cheers)
A PRAYER FOR CONCORD.

A PLEA FOR CONCORD.
They came out of the Revolution, gentlemen.

ever knew. from the remembrance OF an hour OF
common trial, of "the hour that tried men sous,
the remembrance of suffering and Of wrong, and OF
Iefeat and of depressed hopes and of the lowering
of dark inky despair over the whole Of our coun-
try and of the sun beaming on their heads free
people And then they met in common council, re-
spected each others rights, only knowing mat
there was a North and South in order that the
North might do justice to the South, and that the
South might recprocate in fraternal feeling OF our
ancestors. Why cannot 1t prevail now. Are we
better than they? Are we wiser than they! have
we bigger objects to attain now than they mad: Cah

of what eight men may do who are an Intelligent
