JUDGE DRUMAoNp's SPEECH.
Hon. Judge Drnmmoad said there were in
these times, some things in which we all, in
this psft OF the ce1ntry, ere agreed, that band
Of ambitious men in the Sout .eEn portion Of
! the country have made war On the United
States. Their refusal to recognize the verdic;
OF the majority OF the people was an act Of
var. Their numerous seizures Of public
| P1oPef.y, their firing on the Sssr of the West,
AID BON bardment OF Fcst Sumter, were one
and all acts OF war. TIER object was to de-
stroy tie Government. Their terms were {.
oifs solu1lon Of the Union, which of course was
destruction OF our nationality, If man
cssaalted il bound to resist, so is nation.
