MOZART HALL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
sPsscHEs-aHN. MCCLELLAN DECLARES THAT
NIB DARE sor FIGHT on TBB POTOMAC,
large and enthusiastic meeting of the
"Mozart Hall" wing OF the Democratic party
Of New York was held on Thursday eveniRg
10 ratify the nominations Of the party
leaders
Mr.. Chataeld, in the course of his remarks,
observed;
This meeting to. night, this room filled to
It's utruo st capacity with the freemen of their
country, adInonish me that as yet these peo-
pie have not forgotten thAt they have ris h
to guard aud interest to protect, and that they
live under Constitution, and are under
obedience to laws formed under that Consti-
tuition. Thank God, gentlemen, we have yet
4 country TO care for. We have yet 4 Consti-
tuition that is the supreme law Of the land.
l believe that yet, although the aspect OF
things are dark enough, the principles OF
that party will bring this country out at its
peril.
am rot prepared TO say that they will re-
store this country to its prosperous condi-
lion before these troubles began because
am not SO blind as not to see that the termi-
nation OF our present difficulty may be that
our country may be left PROSTATE, loaded
with debt, and desolate with the dea III OF our
loved ones no have gone to the wars to pro-
tect Us.
lam not here TO inquire into the causes of
this war. 1 have the satisfaction OF know
ing that the great party to which belong
has never been Abolitionist in its seatI-
ments.
I have the satisfaction of knowing that
no one of that great family has ever thought
more of the black man than the white man.
None Of us, gentlemen, not one, is respon-
sible for the utterance and predominance OF
these sentiments which lie at the foundation
OF this great Secession movement.
l know that during the campaign of last
fall, in this spot, and. elsewhere all over the
country we admonished those who have pre-
cipitated this country into its present perils,
that if they carried into effect the princip.
that were uttered at Chicago that civil war
| N ust necessarily follow. Bat the spirit OF
AboitiOnism seemed to prevail. They said to
| us, ooh, they dare not fight And u gang OF
men paradesi these streets night after night,
preceded by torch's; they were called "Wida
Awakes." In answer TO these admonitions CT
the Democratic party they said TO us, what
if they 40 fight 1--WE can whip the South
before the breakfast be!l, and all creation af-
ter dinner" Gentlemen. where are these
wide Awakes'' now TO search your army
Go 10 the van of that army. Go III the situa-
lions most exposed, and most dangerous. Go
. 10 the Navy-and you will search in vain for
any OF those yalorous wide Awakes.''
I do not say this by way of discourage
iBent. If the war is Eecess Try, and il is now
upon u 5, in Gods name let us prosecu to it
Ins of that, what is the spectacle? What
will be the history of the next six months .
We will commence with the glorious victory
OF Bethel, from there we will go to Vienna,
and from there 10 Bull Run, thence to Chick
aInacomac, and from there to the last place,
the name OF which i don't remember, and
there you will find all these splendid Veto
ries that not only will make renowned 8
home but renoWnei abroad.
What did hear to -dav conling from til G
COMMANDMENT Chief of the Unit q States
forces-from Gen. Mcclellan? That he dare
not fight on the Pc olnac. SO that we shall
have II more battles, trust, this fall. We
have now got in the field some five hupdred
thousand uen, who have congregated :,bou t
Washington and vicinity, and this array has
to be supper ted "a. an expense Of two mill jons
and half a day, and yet we are to have no
battles this fall Why? Because the Com
rnander- in Chief said he dare not fight. Now,
gentlemen, what is the English of ali this !?
Why, that this country VIII, ia the 1irst place,
be placed under a heavier load OF debt than
any country on the face of the earth. And,
in She next place, gen tiemen, there is nothing
more sure ia my mind-the sun is not more
certain 10 rise to-morrow--than that the ia :
dependence and nationality OF the Confedsr-
ate States of America will be recognized by
England and France and other European ma
tioIs in less than six months.
