Some Democrats tells me, we have op.

constitutional right of ours. and has been
enjoyed by all christendom for 500 years,
and the example set us, in the bond ere,

Besides, they have been very impolite
and dctatorial in their asking extension,
have endeavored to deceive as to the
bond of this government, ard finally,

knife to enforce their demands. without

l heard no complaint of President lin

s'onlsts bombarded Fort Sumptcr. Gu,

retary Walker, second officer in the con.
federacy said, they had this day began
the war and he trusted their flag would

Washington. Mr.. Lincoln protected our
capital by calling 10000 volunteers and
increasing the army and navy, and sub

from Democrats, and would advise
them, he had Democratic authority and
precedent to suspend it to save New Or
leans, and it must be right to do it to save
our capital.
L hear some complaint about the Pres
ldent closing southern ports. | think
they violated the law and constitution
with regard to collecting the revenue
therein. The introduction of foreign
goods, contrary to law aud the cons,itu-
ton, .lust:ics his closing their ports
'coI sure none Interested in the preser-

Ills acts and recommendations are fully
endorsed and approved by Congress, and
ard he has every encouraye,ucnt by
them and loyal citizens, to terminate the
resistance to this government as effcctu-
ally and speedily as possible. think
the resolutions of Cri,tendcn should be
conclusive to ALL Of the cause of this war.

States.

can do it. think on reflection you will
agree with me-the separation of the |
sections Of this Union would be disas- !

the necessity for the effort to save it en-

be true to this government forever.
And now gentlemen, permit me to
