the State which represent, by thus calling me
out We have been In the habit OF saying tnas
the strength of the Government was in the ten
thousand chords which bindtogether the people
of our land; but now this is all changed, ana
without fault of ours. Rebellion and treason
are abroad in our land. We know where this
commenced, and we know, too, where 1t must
end. There is but one course for us to pursue,
and that should be followed. We should trans
port an army down the Mississippi and blaze
broad track through the whole South, from
Montgomery to Charleston. Loud cheers,l-
Charleston should be razed till not one stone
is left upon another; till there is no place lett

traitors, but the seed Of traitors. We are no
longer Republicans nor Democrats, but all par
