capital, which bears the sacred name Of The Father
Of bis Country. The officers OF the army tasely De-
trayed the Government into the hands Of the trii-
tors; those in the various forts, arseuas ana n's
hastened to bettay to destruction the GoveInmenI
which they had sworn to support and protect. IA
every age traitor has been eXecrated by MANKIND,
and he has been compelled, like one OF Ola, 10 cry
out that his punishment was greater thah lac ooIlu
bear. Judas Iscariot furnished good eHanpig LOT
all traitors: after he had performed bis WORK, ne
went out and hanged himself lLaughter.l as the
yulturo seeks tie weakest Of the mock, so the ouz
yard of Secession seized South Carolina, anu pore
triumphantly away. Tlis State stands inc Iassan-
ORA of tue Confederlcy, and has been tWined aoont
by tho ierpents Of Disunion. Tue dream OF SCUM
Carolina IA now being realized Commodore Du-
nont has already entered her port, from nation
vbicb he RECOGNIZES as foreign laughter, and jas

CRAVINGS of South Carolina lapnlausel system
of trade unencumbered by tariffs and Custom
his transactions TO treat her with the tignli-
cant phrase 10 g shell out" Applause We are
now upon pivot in the worlds progress; we are
creating materials for history not pursuing ts beaten
pathway. We are solving political problems by the
inherent power of truth. The first great duty Is o
crush the rebellion and yindicate the Constitution;
and to do tits we must treat it as it is. Generated
in the ietid hotbed Of conspiracy, desperate and
daring conspiracy, governed by selEclected con-
spFators, If we would have an honorable peace we
must not purchase it, but conquer it.. Applause
When il is inquired what shall be done TO put IL
down, let il be rather inquired what shall not be
done. Had this rebellion sprung up under the ques-
tion Of Slavery, it would have shown itself IN the
Border States, but they steadily resisted the move
ment. The prime movers were decayed poht!Clans,
sapped by base use, and seedy by wear and tear
iLauChter.l All who would preserve the Union and
put down rebellion must act together, with one
heart and one accord. Political parties have their
USE but it is not wise for us 10 stand IN the way OF
each other in q work involving the existence OF the
Government The moral influence OF people united
in great purpose, regardless Of party association,
would at this time be TO the hearts of the rebels more
terrible than an army with banners. If we love the
Constitution and hate rebellion, we can leave party
issues until We csn determine whether we have q
Government which can put down rebellion ana
puDi,h treason. Let no one lay the fatterng uns-
lion to his soul that this Union can be divided with
success. We are not to stay the loss Of life, the
eilusion CT blood, the oppression OF taxation or
mitigate the harsh features OF war, TO tamper With
rebellion. The United States cannot be separated.
10 apply postical figure, they are
" ~ but parts O one stuPendous whole,
Whose body Nature is and God The soul ,
There those who compare this rebellion with The
glorious American Revolution. The comparison IL
decoration; the uterance treason against Heaven.
The Revolution aimed at man emancipation from
The tyranny OF man; this cowardly conspiracy seeks
10 raise IFS superstIucture upon involuntary serVl-
tude our fathers sought TO release--ihey seek TO
paw 'AN
penalty of greatness; we have been borne upon n
current of prosperity such AS the world never saw
before. As sOrTow ehasens tho heart, 70 aillicton
subdues the unholy pride Of nations, teaching them
moderation, and qualifying them for tic stern rea-
ties of their existence Great memories cluster
ing around us; the achievements Of our independence
come down to us and beckon us onward to duty.
Better that a whole generation should be swept
away by the scourge Of war than yield one jot or
little Of our institutions. Applause. Better that
fire should sweep over our land than any portion OF
ii be surrendered to the insoent demands Of rebel
lion. Renewed opplause.l Better that gaunt
famine should waste us to spectral shadows than
that this glorious land should become the victim Of
base conspiracy.
Breaches there with soul so dead,
That never 20 himself hath said.
This my own, my native land y
Bnt 70 preserve H. we mnst stand united for the
prostratiOn Of Rebellion, and the unfolding Of that
laudmai of q nations honor and hope which il the
idol and Joy Of all who love liberty and hate
tyranny.
Nh Dickinson closed with a fervent appeal for the
preservation Of the Union and the exercises eImi
mated with "The Star-Spangled Banner and
" Yankee Doodle by the Band.
