A rev Facts for Hon. w. T. Noble,
who support the Cox Resolutions.
Wus there ever anything so Infamous
Amer our men have been butchered by
these thieves androbbers; after the block
ade Of our rivers, the stoppage Of our
trade, the siczure Of our citizens; after q
deadly struggle has been inOugurated for
the avowed purpose Of breaking down our
government, commission is TO be insti-
tuted to change the Constitution so Os to
suit these precious seoundrelsj and they
arc TO be invited to unite with us Ogain In
the same government to play over again
the same routine Of villainies. II this is
Douglas Democracy we beg to take back
anything that we have ever said in favor
of union with them. We supposed that
the Douglas Democracy followed in the
footsteps of their leader, who declared In
his last speech, that
"The present secession movement was
THE RESULT OF AN ENORMOUS
CONSPIRACY" and that
"There has aeuer been a time, from
tie day that Washington iras iRaHgurdted
frat President Of these United States
'OheH he rights Of The Southern States
stood frmeT under The iaigs Of The land
than they do noi0; there neUer iOas time
phen they had not as good a cause for dis
aniOH as hey haze today"
If this is so, and there is no cause for
this murdorous assault on the government
but the overweening ambition Of wicked
men, shall we change the Constitution to
coneiliate theml Shall VIC get on our
knees to the men who have mode our land
bloody with civil wari Shall we lay
aside the halter and invite back the prison
birds to our public cribl Shame! Shame!
Shamel on the mon who are base enough
to propose iu We turn from them gludly
to the noble Democracy who are now
fighting the battles Of the country. Hear
what Daniel s. Dickinson Of New York,
late democratic Senator, says in his
speech at Amherst, July 10:
"You desire peace! Then lay dolrn
your arms aud you i0iH hGUe iH IL pGS
peace wheR you took them up, IL toiH be
peace uhen you lay them doirH. twill be
peace when you abandon war and return
to your accustomed pursuits. Honorable,
enduring, pacific relations will be found
in complete obedience to the provisions Of
the Constitution, and not In its violation
or destruction.
When the government Of our fathers
shall be again recognized, when the Con.
stitution and the laws to which every
citizen owes allegiance shall be observed
aud oboyed, then will the armies of the
Constitution and the Union disband, by a
common impulse, in obedience to a unan-
imous popular will"
Senator Latham, in his late speech, oi
July 40, said with something like the same
force
"I allege that the only purposes in car
rViRq on This lodr are, not to deprive the
people ofthe South Of their property; not
towage crusade against tho institution
of rslOvery; but, as d mocratic General
from Massachusetts said at is, by the
strong arm Of the government, to enforce
law among both the black and the white
population in the States now in rebellion
against yoCr government"
In spcakingof the Union, Mr. Holt, late
Mr.. Duchanan's Secretary of War;
says:
~ nm for its preservation at any and
every cost Of blood and treasure against
all its assailants. l know no neutrality
between my country and its foes, whether
they be foreign or domestic, no neutrality
between that glorious flag which now
floats over us, aud the ingrates and trait
ors who would trSmple il in the dust, My
prayer IL for victory, complete, enduring
aud overwhelming to tho armies Of the
Republic over oil its enemies. am
against any ana every compromise that
may be proposed 10 be nude under the
guns OF the rebels, while at the same time
! um decidedly in favor Of Ofi6rding every
reasonable guarantee iNr the s0fetyl OF
Southern Institutions, which the honest
convictions of the people-Got the con-
splrators--of The South may denand.wheu
ever they shall lay down their arms, bui
not till them"
How, too, does this dastardly action O
cur Douglas politicians compare with tpai
Of the noble men in the Slave States whC
are bUffeting the waves Of this rebellion
and manfully struggling against the trait,
ors which the democracy are so anxious
to propitiate. Hear what the men o.
Tennessee say in their official appeal L
people Of that State
"We prefer TO remain attached 90 thI
government Of our fathers. The Constt
tuition of the United States hes done us nc
wrong. The Congress Of the Unite,
States has passed no law TO oppress us
The President Of the United Stat es hn
made no threat against the law-abidinl
people Of Tennessee. Uuder the govern
ment Of the United States we have enjoy
cd as nation more civil and religion
freedom than any other people unde
heaven. We believe there is no caus
for rebellion CO secession on the part .
the people of Tennessee, &C."
And yet cur Douglas Democrats ar
still complaining about Southern grievaH
ces, and proposing a commission to chang
the Constitution 80 as TO suit the robbers
traitors and murderers, that they ma
come 10 on the Old terms and sit down i
the pleasant places under this govern
ment. We say, rather with dlstir
guish6d Virginian: "A halter for th
leaders and grape for the ranks.
