e NJ THAYER ..-........ Ell IroR


EG-The address Of Hon. James Hughes,
which we publish this morning, is worthy
careful reading, not only for its intrinsic
merit, but on account of the political ante
cedents of its author. If ever the South
possessed a warm friend and an eloquent
champion in the Northern States-that man
was Judge Hughes So unhinching was
his devotion to what he conceived to be
their rights that be sacrificed his pros
poets for political preferment in a bold adj
vocacy of their particular construction of
the constitution. During the canvass last
summer he was one of the most enthusiastic,
and, we might add, the ablest advocate Of
the Breckenridge ticket in this State. The
Southerners may well question the success
of their present undertaking, when such
friends as Mr.. Hughes declare their cause
unjust, and that he would grant to armed
disunion making war upon the government
and flag of his country nothing but the logic
of the rife and the cannon, until they return
to their allegiance and respect the Consti-
tuition and the Laws" When such friends
are converted into most bitter enemies
when those who have sacrificed their time
and money, their hopes of preferment, and
even the friendship of their neighbors, il
defense of Southern politicians, manifest al
equal willingness to lay down their lives tC
defeat tratorous schemes for the overthrow
of the Union and join hands with former
political enemies to strike down former pc
ltical friends, the Confederate States may
fully realize that they have to confront
united and Indignant North

and taken up arms III this cause. know
that 10 argument is needed to persuade you
that the cause of your country is just
cause.-The cause of law and order, aud OF
good government | know no argument IS
needed TO satisfy you that all are public
enemies deserving of death, who are found
with arms in their hands fighting against
that flag. Therefore l have but briefly
stated the nature of the contest and have re-
Trained from a discussion of its causes, or
the alleged grievances of which the South
ern people complain. l say to You with
out any mental reservation, that your cause
is just, ana believe just God will crown
it with success. | am willing to accord to
the people of the South every reasonable
demand made in peace and enforced by le-
gal and constitutional means but l would
grant to armed disunion, making war upon
the government and flag of my country
nothing-but the logic of the rife and the
cannon, until they return to their ale
glance, and respect the Constitution and the
Laws. l am for the q nion as it is-for the
flag as it floats before me, not single star
or stripe the less-and for the maintenance
of these in all their integrity, would fight
until their supremacy is recognized and es-
/ tablished, be the conseq uences what they
may.
l have endeavored to give expression to
some of the prominent ideas, which ought
in your minds to be associated with that
flag, and which, while they will endear il
to you. will excite your courage, your for
titude and your sense of duty, and greatly
cheer and strengthen you "a the dangers anG
tolls that you must expect to encounter.
That banner is the work Of those whom
you prize highest on earth, and is entrusted
to your care with full confidence in your
valor, and in the justice of your cause. Il
is the flag of your country, of your free anG
hitherto happy country, ths land of your al
legiance and your love. 1t is now unfurleC
in the cause of the Union and the Constitu.
ton, and for the preservation of its own in
tegrity. These considerations appeal to you
as men, as citizens, and as soldiers, with {
power as high as earthly incentives car
possess-they will call into action you
utmost energies, and inspire you with sucl
enthusiasm as springs from the noblest at
tributes of man.
Then who can doubt you will acqui
yourselves glorously and we'll, that what
ever is possible for men to achieve you will
accomplish, and that neither you nor you
flag will ever be associated with shame o
sulied with dishonor. Dark as the storm
is which now lowers upon ourcountry, ter
rible as the conflict may be which is ap
proaching-I feel when | look upon yo
and upon your flag and when I conside
the justice of your cause-tbose who sen
me feel, aud you yourselves, doubtless, ais
