IN ssrtsiniy, and probably not One-fcufth
NJ of whom we're Of the H. J. J. stripe.
M Jswett was introduced by Judge Ran

testifying to fact which II would be IN
necessary 10 refer 10 in other parts Of the
STATE, Wis. that Mr.. JeWstt vas one Of the
noblest men and most exalted patriots in
The state Mr.. Jewett made very honest
and q very sensible speech, the chief argu-
neht IN which was that ninety-nins hun
dreths Of tie southern people are set ef
Out-and-out ignOrAmusss who know no
better than to do Is they are doing, and
consequently like very little, seif-villed

He said;
Ia times past, when We have convened
Ct public assemblsges, the questions which
We have discussed have been those Of pol
icy, touching the administration Of the
Government or State. At the present
time. hoWever, q much more serious ques-
tion presents itself. Il is the policy to be
pursued not for the carrying on Of the
Government but for its preservation. The
question then for us is, how Is the Govern
ment to be preserved in the integrity with
which we received II from our fathers
In the first place, an idea was advanced
that we shonld have no parties, that We
should have but one party, that We should
all support and be true to the Government.
In republican form Of government par
ties are almoat essential to government.
Parties must watch each other to see that
there Is nothing being done detrimental to
the public interests by those in power. But
q party organised to procure only influence
/ and position, is q dangerous organization.
When the parties were besought to aban-
don their organizations, the question was
presented-sre the principles which FOR
wears we have been combating to be aban-
/ donedY Il is said that in the present
emergency there should be but one party,
and thst Mr.. Douglas, after he had per-
/ formed the service allotted 10 him, and was
almost on the verge Of the grave, left a
legacy 10 his oountrymen, that they should
abandon party and party organizations,
and that he who refused to do this was un.
worthy the name Of 9 freeman. After he
had devoted years Of labor for the princi-
/ pie Of non-inferVention, walked to the altar
/ when the peace Of the country Was being
broken violently, and sacrificed his own
idea for the common good. It is precisely
as Il was in 1928, when some twenty Of the
sensiors repaired to the White House and
said 70 Mr. Jackson that sll their support
and aid should be given to put down re-
bellion in South Carolina.
There are other reasons offered why
there should be but one party. One was,
that any opposition to the Government was
weakening our own side, while it strength
ened that Of our foes. How Was it2 All
the aid possible was being offered BY MEM
bers Of the Democratic party, and with less
criticism than by own friends Of the Ad-
ninistration. We are in serious difficult
ties. A stupendous war is upon us--s war
Of great magnitude, and time will deyelope
that it is Of the greatest Importance to the
country. Nov what is to be done2 Is
the Administration to be abendoned2 By
no means. It is the duty Of every man
who loves his country 10 stand firm and
sustain those who are in charge Of the gov
ernment It is my duty as loyal citizen
! to stand ct the shoulder Of those who have
the direction Of the Government. Looking
ct this, no duty can be required at my
hands which / shall not cheerfully render.
l take il there ia no difference among us
on this score-that all who look 70 the in
tsrests Of the country, its institutions and
its laws, will hold to this so=rse. But the
great question remains, how We can, in
dIscharging those duties, best promote the
perpetEity Of the union Of the States. The
President says that the Northern States are
loysl and that certain Southern States are
disloysl. Mr.. Ewing takes the position
that the msjOrity Of the Southern people
are for Union, but aIe oVera wed, and Mr..
Tod holds even stronger sentiments Of q
similar kind. l have taken the position
that thess Southern people are the victims
Of fraud, and that they would march shoul-
der to shoulder to the music Of the Union.
Thus we argue that the great mass Of that
people are loyal, and look upon the flag
that waves ever us Is their great hope
How then do We differ2 1t is only in
this: what course are We 10 pursuef Ny
friend Tod says that he would 60 for eter-
nal war until these people are drought

who are hostile to our country to bring
them back by such an expression ss shall
undeceiVe those mistaken persons, and tell
them in what manner they have been
abused
The remainder Of Mr.. Jewett's speech
was taken up with discussion IS to what
would be The probable course Of European
governments, in which he took the position
that they would interfere should the war
be allowed to go on upon its present basis.
At the conclusion Of the speech some one
called for "thres cheers for the COnstitu-
tion and q. J. Jewett, our next Governor y
