The War and Slavery.

The war hasdisorganNed not only busine5s
but politics. A revolution has taken place
not in the administration OF Constitution of
the country, but in the sentiments of the
people On public affairs, and in the relative
strength of parties. The masses are united
in nnrelenting hostility to the Introduction
of violence as means Of obtaining power and
position, and they have reconsidered their
opinions as to the merits Of that interest
which was the first to resort to violence. =
Anti-slavery counts its converts by thous-
ands, and not the least Jealous of these are
the many Democrats who have for years un-
estimated their constitutional obligations to
it. 1t begins to be seen that in its effect on
individuals it is pernicions that if, in a
state of bondage, slaves are civil zed it is at
the expense of their masters, who are bar
barized by TIE process that as a system of
labor it is, in many of the states where 1t
prevails, wasteful, de>tructiYe. unproftable.;
and that as an element Of political power, it
is rcstive, oyerbearing, and unjust. Lts his,
tory is full OF horrors. It kept South Caro-
lima and other states in state Of craven sub
mission to, Britain during tae Revolution ii
interposed, after the Revolution, the most
| serious Of che difficulties which arose in per-
fecting cur Union it has claimed for itself
recognition and privileges which no other in
t trest in the country has dared to aspire to-,
and it has finally assaulted, with deadly in
tent, the government and the Constitution
itself.
The chief weapon Of slavery, for many
year, has been terror. 1t has threatened
war, bloodshed, violence, devastation, dis
olution of the Uaion, if it's claims were not
conceded But the sting has been, or will be
taken from its menaces when their weakness
is proved. If the Union cannot be Dissolved
If war will not extort from US what we refuse
to persuasion, and the claims Of slavery, On
its own merits, cannot enlist our sympathies
nor command our votes, what is its condi-
ton 1t is the jackass stripped Of its lions
skin it is the whipped bully Ct the ring,
whuae defeat is more humiliating in proper
tion as his brag was noisy and ferocious.~-
The Constitution re- established over the re-
volted states, in its own name and not under
color of war against slavery, is nevertheless
fatal to slavery as political poaeer, because
the only strength OF that institution as po-
litical power, apart from the right of repre-
sentaton as political power, apart from the
right of representation yielded to it in the
Constitution. was in its supposed capacity to
break up our Union and forever destroy our
peace, if its clamors, freshly renewed every
day for further favors, were not acceded to-.

A Voice from the Administration.
SPEECH OF HON CALEB B. SMITH.


At the mass meeting held in Providence
r. l., Oh Friday evening, the Hon. Caleb B.
Smith, Secretary Of the Interior. addressed
several thousand people. The substance of
his speech was as folows:
"It Is idle, my friends. to indulge in the
hope that, if we cannot sustain this Union
we must sustain republican Institutions
For, let me assure you tonight, that if we
cannot preserve. our presaot government in
its present form, we eaonot sustain a free
government in any form. There is great
truth-there is great force in the sentiment
so eloqueptly pronounced by the immortal
statesman of Massachusetts, Liberty and
Union, now and forever, one and iusepara-
ble." Why is it, my friends that this dis
cord prevails among US? Why is it that a
portion of our own citizens are now thaa-
dering at the very door of the Capitol with
hostile artillery? l know there is one ele
ment of discord 10 our system; and intend
to speak plainly in all thas I have to say
Id is the question of domestic servitude that
has rent assunder the temple of liberty
What is there in this question Of slavery that
should divide this people Why, my friends,
when this government was formed, when
we marched from the battls-felds Of the Rev
olution, every State of the Union with sin
gle exception acknowledged the institution
of slavery. 1t has been abolished in New
England, in New York and Pennsylvania !;
and our States of the West have grown to
their present stature of opulation and mag
ni6cence as free States. But for the last ten
years an angry controversy has existed upon
this question of slavery. The minds of the
people of the South have been deceived
by the artful representions of dema-
gogues, who have assured them that the
people Of the North were determined to bring
the power of this government to bea- upon
them for the purpose of crushing out this in
stitution of slavery. I ask you, is tier any
truth in this charge? Has The goUe, ment
of the United States, in any single inst rnce,
5y any one solitaly act, iaterfsred acith tae IN
stitutions Of the South? No not one.
The theory of this government is that the
States are sovereign within their proper

Compromise who dares to speak it

When the air with thunder echoes,
And the rocket-li lightni ngs play ? :
Compromise while on the dial

Firmcr to the despot's rack !?

Have we lost our ancient ardor

Flourish in it's deadly shade.
Compromise is base unduing

We disclaimins what they bought.

On the wild ami wintery sea;
By the Pilgrims prayer ascending
As he knelt with reverent knee;
By the fairest day of summer
When the tried, the true, the brave,

To the Roll of Freedom gave;
By tn. tears, the march, the battle,
Where the noble, fearl sss died
Wild around the cannon's rattle.

God Save our Nation.
BY WILLIE HAMMOND.

o God, save our nation,
Keep strong its sacred ties
Preserve our sacred banner
Now floating to the skies.
OF God, stand with our freemen,
Who for our country fight;
Give them III strength to conquer,
Who battle for the right.
Stand by our nations noble flag,
Let not its folds be torn /;
Stand by our trusty soldiers,
Who by it, have been sworn.
Let not our country's emblem
Be trampled in the dust;
No, let its folds be lifted
That freemen's sacred trust
Smite all traitors from the land
Who 'gainst our proud flag fire,
Help our hearts to fe ! it now,
And love for right Inspire.
o. God, preserve our country,
Let not our fair land sink,
Snatch US from oblivion
We're standing on the brink.
God, we ask it, in thy strength,
And in thy holy will,
Rebuke the horrid ills of war
Command it-"peaee be STILL"
But if there must be fighting,
o. God, be with the right;
Give them all strength to conquer
Who for our country fight.
