SENATOR SUMNER on THE WAR--Ou TUESDAY
nigat, Hon. Charles simmer addressed Oil i'm
nm,sa audiercs. at The Cooper Institute, In the
city ol New York. Mr. Sumner argued ,ha
slavery was the sole cause Of the rebellion
tHat 1t was sustained by slavery, aud That Tie
slave system was now the most powerful ee
mert Of strength used against us, and that th,
only remedy adequate to meet 1t was em1nci
patton.
We extract a single paragraph from BIZ
speech, which furnishes the army with Bata,
Cry, which henceforth becomes the only cry Of
the army and the nation. and he who attempt,
to resist it, falls, like Luciier 10 rise no more
1t remains for us to encounter the rebellion
calmly and surely by force superior to Ia
own. But to this end something more will be
needed than men or money. Our battalions
must be re enforced by ideas, and we mus,
strike directly at the origin and handspring OF
the rebellion. do no say now in what way oi
10 whal extent; but simply that we must strike
| It may be by the system Of a Massachusett,
Genera'-Buler; II may be by that Of Fremont
or it may be by the grander system Of Johr
Quincy Adams. Reason and sentiment bott
concur in this policy, which is only according
to the most common principles Of human COS
duct. In no way can VIC do so much at so little
cost To tie enemy, such blow will be q
terror; to good men II will be an encourage
ment, and to foreign nations watching this con
| test it will be an earnest Of something beyont
Il mere carnival of battle. There has been the
cry, "On 10 Richmond" and still ano,he,
| either is the cry, ION TO FREEDOM" Le
this be heard in the voices Of your soldiers
! aye-let it respnnd in the purposes of the Gov
ernment, and victory must be ours.
|; was an able and eloquent grafton, and
at its conclusion, the following resolution wa
adopted by reclamation:
ReSolued, That the doctrine enunciatsd b.
Major General Fremont, with respect to TIL
emancipation of the slaves Of rebels, and tn,
more recent uttersnces of General Burnside
Senator Wilson, and the Hon. George Bancroft,
in his city, and Of Colonel John Cochrana an
| tho hon. Simon Cameron, at Washington fore
Thad"wing the eventual roofing out of slavery
as the cause Of the rebellion, indie to alike
| moral, political, aud military necessity and
in the judgmsnt of this meeting, the publ
sentiment Of the North is now fully in sy mpa
thy with any practicable scheme which ma
be presented for the extirpation Of this nations
evil, and will accept such result as the onl
consistent issue Of this contest between civil
zaiion and barbaIism.
