and, perhaps, court, abundantly competent to administer the government itself. Nor do say this is not true also in the army of our late friends now adversares, in this contest. But 1t is so much better the reason who the govern ment which has conferred such benefits on both them and us should not be broken up. Whoever in any section proposes to abandon such gov ernment would do we'll to consider in deference to what principle it is that he does it.; what bet ter he is likely to get in the stead; whether the substitute will give or be intended to give so much of good to the people. There are some foreshadowings on this subject. Our adversa- ries have adopted some declarations of indepen- dence, in which, unlike the good old one penned Npy Jeferson they omit the words: & All men xe created equal" Why? They have adopted
 mporary national constitution, in the pream-
 ef which, unlike our good old one signed by ,sy ititute 1" We, the deputies of the soyereipn aA.d independent states.'' Why this deliberate pressing out of view the rights of men and the authority of the people? This is essentially peoples contest. On the side of the Union it is . struggle for maintaining in the world that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men; to lift artificial weights from all shoulders to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all; to afford all an unfettered start and fair chance in the race of life, yielding to partial and temporary departures from necessity. This is the leading object of the government for whose existence we contend.
 am most happy to believe that the plain peo- pie understand and appreciate this. It is worthy of note that while in this, the governments hour Of trial, large numbers of those in the army and navy who have been favored with the offices have resigned and proved false to the hand which pampered them, not one common soldier or common sailor is known to have deserted his hAg. Great honor is due to those officers who remained true despite the example of their treacherous associates, but the greatest honor and the most important fact of all, is the unani. nous frmness of the common soldiers and the comm6n sailors. To the last man, so far as known, they have successfully resisted the tra;. torous efforts of those whose commands but ar hour before they obeyed as absolute law This ss the patriotic instinct of plain people They
